I think I’m starting to realize that the current project I’m working on is going to be stupidly hard to do entirely alone. Or, at least, that it is going to take a good, long while. That doesn’t mean I’m not still going to try making it, I just might be stuck doing a lot of test and side projects that are way smaller scale before I can get to “long super polished rpg horror game”.

Anyway— if anyone has any resources for the engines 2003, XP, or VX Ace, that would be very helpful. I have found a video on the coding language Ruby recently, but besides that a lot of the specific questions I’ve been having end up either not on the forums or unanswered on the forums. I’m also probably turning to asking on Reddit, even if it’s a little awkward.

Mapping is pretty tedious… I’ve made a little floor plan to make it a bit easier, but it’s far from final. Likely will have some downsizing done to it.

Having this in the program itself is fun because I can set the starting point in this at any time and test how nicely each of these rooms flow together. It’s also pretty surreal since it’s all placeholder tiles, smaller scale, and no separation between rooms.

Hmm I already see a couple things I want to change about it—

Another character :)

Slowly but surely, the experiment continues…

Hasn’t even been that long since the first post of him and he’s already getting some better contrast and lighting done on him :3. Before he was very awkwardly light against the background and didn’t mesh with the style of other sprites.

Two different versions of a character portrait, one where he's green because of btmp color limitations from when the game was being developed in RPG Maker 2003. It's since been moved to XP, so he doesn't have to be green anymore lol, but I still like how the green one looks hmmm.

Just a little guy :3.
