Wow, Larry Crowne is a movie that has no idea what it wants to be.

How are you at drawing iso stuff? I think I'd have to practice an awful lot before I was anywhere decent with it.
I read this as facial pegging and thought you were gonna make YKN and Vazra very sad.
You'll have my preorder, so long as Ghost Song achieves a metacritic of 70%+.
They're not the pegsperts of this thread.
Dark Souls might not be a thing by the tie you finish this, though. It's a good game but I have doubts about its ability to survive time.

I really really REALLY wish I had dev skills. The book I keep mentioning would work so well as an RPG.

Not bad, the annoying part of it is just doing things from various angles. That makes it nearly impossible if you want to do a lot of animations using detailed hand drawn 2D art. That said, there's a definite solution -- Do it like Eitr does. It's isometric, but the actual attack animations are only from the side. It's something I wasn't sure would work when visualizing, but actually seing a game do it -- Eitr -- I realize it can work just fine.
So.. Really, you can have everything. You can do an isometric game with character art that is mostly similar to regular sidescroller art. Maybe you'd have a few additional angles for walking and facing directions, sure, but the actual attacks? They can totally just be from the side.
Anyway, I'm still toying with it in my head and deciding whether it'd be isometric or sidescroller. There are pros and cons to each. The biggest challenge with a sidescrolling Don't Souls is how to pull off navigation.
man at this point I can't even imagine what's gonna happen reviews wise. Nothing would surprise me, good or bad. Some days I think the game is good, other days I think it's shite.

I think it will be around for quite a while, though it will mature into a much broader genre same as the Metroidvania.
Have you looked into RPG maker?
Nobody is born with dev skills. Devs are just a bunch of people who decided they wanted to make something and went for it.
Oof, I know exactly what you're talking about. At that point it becomes much less about creative art and more about technical stuff, which just isn't fun. I've been drawing weapons from different angles all weekend so I can very closely feel that pain.
I'm sorry for not including you.
Lilith has a bf now so that would just be wrong.
How are you liking Alex? He's not for me I think, but he has some cool moves.

Nobody cares about other people's RPG Maker games. I know I don't.
We'll still
Huh. Yes it is.
Show us the weekends best murder device!
What?
What?
OK!
Nah, haven't given him a shot yet, was playing with some people on Friday night, my Zangeif is still garbage and so I never got around to trying Alex out.

I'll admit. I actually had to google what that was. Oh dear.
You should try Sunset Over Imdahl. It's super old but doesn't feel like a traditional "RPG Maker" game
Edit : Also don't jump straight into 3D for your first "real" game. So many things jump into pain in the ass territory and not even in a cosmetic way. Things like small design nigglies that you can get away with in 2D become a skyscraper sized problem when you jump into that realm.
I'll give it a few more years as long as people don't run it into the ground with spiritual successors.
The only straight clone that I can think of is Lords of the Fallen.
Proof that budget and a template doesn't mean shit if you miss what the core experience is all about.
I would say naughty things that would disturb you but I think I rather let this post let your imagination run wild of the things I was going to say or not. Now you can just think about it all the night and be mentally scarred by your own machinations. :3
Psychological Horror bruh
I feel like a bunch of people are going to try to copy the artstyle.
Speaking of which, I need to get my hands on the artbooks. I have too few artbooks and I'd love to poke through a Dark Souls one.
It's about starting somewhere and working from there.
So often people will get hung up on the language/engine/platform/etc. when attempting to learn. They end up spending all their time worrying and never actually start.
Doesn't matter how the first step is taken, just that it is.

My boyfriend is an essential part of the equation. There's no one to peg when I'm single!
Why do you think so? Where would the audience in general move to? I don't think people play Dark Souls for the novelty even if some of the marketing has previously been "check out how novel this difficulty is". Good things stay good, especially if you have dozens or hundreds of different teams iterating on the idea.
Well have you looked into any sort of development? I have to admit I don't really play RPGs, so I have no inclination to sift through all the RPG Maker projects people have made, but I'm sure you could find a few diamonds in the rough such as what Fengshui's recommended.
This is kind of a cop-out but I've only been working on the boring weapons to start with, primarily because of the simpler form so I can get practice with the technicals of it. Though I rather like how this one turned out:

To be fair lil, it doesn't look phallic to me. Maybe it's because Australians see things upside down.
That's what I'm implying! That you now no longer need feng.

Eventually I'll be looking for a Unity programmer but I doubt Lili's schedule would ever line up with mine, I kinda get the feeling she'd rather do her own thing anyway
I have a few leads but I won't be really looking much into it until late 2016 or later. My friend at Bluepoint has some amazing contacts, too, that he offered to help me with
reading over that page got me reaally tired

Well that and we've had plenty of disagreements over gameplay priorities in the past. I think there's a mutual respect but fairly different tastes between us, and we're both pretty strong-willed.

You got over your fear of ghost dicks, now prepare for the terror that is smoke dicks!
You like that hey? Ethereal yet suggestive of a robust solidness.

I know that the window for us working together has passed, and that's due to my eyes being too big for my mouth as well as just general development hell bullshit, as well as you working in an entirely different toolset, but I have tremendous respect for you as a developer and a person.
I also just realized that I can't use Dr. Cthulhu in the DLC due to it being done last year and me not having time or the energy to deal with tax bullshit for contractors even though there was no contract and it was only two test characters.

I just realized I've been neglecting a tool in Illustrator that will do half of my 3D reprojection for me. This is so bittersweet, especially at the tail end of the weekend. Ah well.

apparently a gas cap not screwed all the way in can make your engine light to turn on.
thankfully, I have an OBDII reader and can read and erase the codes.
about $70. a bargain, really.

I'm freaking out just like Channing Tatum in that one 7-11 scene in Magic Mike 2 each time a pun like this is written.
Why not just make sure you screw your cap on right?

I'm only human, but a reader is just so useful. not the first time I've has to use it. better than paying for a mechanic to diagnose problems using a similar tool. since computers are in so much control and monitoring, why not give yourself the tools?
Fair enough I guess, but work van plus regular servicing paid for by work means I haven't had car troubles in a hell of a long time.
Something is going to go wrong next time I'm a hundred k's from anywhere now that I've said that.
