#NW.js

[loveletterworm]

its possible that this may not be an intentional check and is just a wacky side effect of them arbitrarily updating an obsolete version of the software to do nothing except add a dumb "buy these tileset dlcs nobody uses!" screen on launch which i think judging by the file dates resulted in some mismatched files in my installation, but it's been so long since i did this and i never expected to have to do it again (because why would they update the obsolete version to do nothing except add a "buy these tileset dlcs nobody uses" screen...) so i don't remember how to do it at all. And im scared also.

i think they updated rpg maker mv for seemingly no reason except to add in a check for if you manually updated the nw.js version to improve the performance (this technically negates a notable portion of any reason for rpg maker mz's existence.) and stop you from running projects if you did that...Ew........

This may be a niche topic to discuss, but below I'm going to detail my mod lists for both Fear & Hunger games. Both mod lists were capable of running decently on both my Windows 11 system and Steam Deck.

Both games -

A particular version of NW.js (64-bit) for performance. Drag into the game folder and rename the included nw.exe file to Game.exe and replace the one that was present. This will make the game run smoother, in my experience.

Fear and Hunger Mod Loader, with Better Saves enabled and configured to have a limit of 10 saves. I use this primarily for the Save & Quit feature of Better Saves, but if you want to mess around with the game, plugins like Dev Tools are very useful. Follow the provided install instructions.

Fear & Hunger (Version 1.4.1) -

Immersive Censorship. Replaces any nudity or sexual content, without changing the gameplay. This is personal preference, but I personally dislike those things in games. Follow the provided install instructions.

Fear & Hunger: Termina (Version 1.9.1) -

Hexen Skills Description Preview. Shows the in-game description of a skill in the Hexen when hovering over it. Follow the provided install instructions.

Improved Diagonal Movement. Makes your character move against a wall if they run into it while moving diagonally instead of stopping dead. Follow the provided install instructions.

Mac RPGMaker

I learned this a while back on F95. Basically, it's a way to play MZ and MV RPGmaker games on Mac. First, you need to download nw.js from https://nwjs.io/downloads/. I'm not sure if the version matters, the one I use is 0.77.0 which you can download from previous versions. You should probably move the zipped file to your game directory, since you'll use it for many games. Here's the remaining process:

Go to the game you want to play. Select all of the files and copy it. Now, you don't actually need all of the files (you can omit game.exe for example), but it's just easier to copy all of them. It's partly because the file structure can vary game to game, and you'll end up deleting the original game folder anyway. So there isn't much wasted space.

Unzip nwjs which you downloaded previously and open the folder. Right-click on nwjs (the file, not the folder) and click on 'Show Package Contents'. Go to Contents-Resources.

Now create a new folder called 'app.nw'.

Open your new folder 'app.nw' and paste the files that you copied.

Navigate back til you get back to the nwjs folder which should just have the nwjs file and a credits.html file.

(Depending on your security preferences, this may not be necessary, but for me it was) Move your nwjs file out of the folder and into the parent directory (e.g. the game directory).

Ctrl+Click the nwjs file and run it.

If all goes well, you can start playing the game. At this point you can move the nwjs file back into the original folder and rename the folder for your convenience.

Note: It's possible that the name issue outlined below could be an issue. So, take a look if that's you.

Keep in mind that this isn't 100% foolproof, though it's worked for every game I tried so far (over 5 of them).

I also want to take time in this post to explain something with using Vmware Fusion, or well any virtualization software, to play RPGmaker games. You may run into an error where the game isn't named. It's a simple fix: go into the directory and open package.json. In the line that has ' "name": "nameofgame" ', the value 'nameofgame' might actually be missing or malformed, so all you need to do is replace this with any name (rmmz-game would work well). Remember to enclose it in quotation marks.

Another thing is that the game might outright refuse to run which may be due to a GPU issue. It's not ideal, but you can go into package.json again and this time look for the line that has something like: "chromium-args": "--force-color-profile=srgb --disable-devtools". You want to add "--ignore-gpu-blacklist" to this string, so in my example, you can use "chromium-args": "--force-color-profile=srgb --disable-devtools --ignore-gpu-blacklist". Keep in mind that though the game will likely run now, it is likely to be significantly slow, meaning that you'll better off looking for other means to run the game (such as doing so in Mac or with Wine).

[Repost form itch.io] I'm still alive. Update, recreate? Reflextions.

"Hello everyone.

I'm still alive, but not active on itch.io. Still, I wonder if I should update my "games" for PC compatibility’s sake. It would be a lot of work.

For the Twine game, updating the nw.js I used. I don’t remember how I did it so I would have to relearn how to do it.

For the RPG Maker Game, putting all language in one .exe for my older games using a plugin. Instead of having “game-english”, “game-french” folders etc. That would mean copy and pasting every, single. dialog. line in X language in the English version of the game & testing everything.

For the Ren’py games, updating the engine, splitting French and English for having one language at a time during gameplay, fixing typos, etc.

In fact, it would be faster to start from scratch and create the games anew then updating what is released right now. But then, if I start from scratch, I will want to make something better and professional than using copyright-free BG images & RPG Maker Resources. To do that, I would need a lot of money to commission artists and THEN since it cost me money to do, I would want to sell the game instead of releasing it for free.

4 Alice Magical Autistic Girls cost me 5K CAD to produce after all. I might put a price on it once again, since among all my releases, it’s my most professional one."

After I posted it, I put a price all the games then the next day (today) I put them all free again.

So building NW.js with native node modules is a giant pain in the ass on windows 10. I really wish this platform didn't exist and it was all Debian.

IF and Dialogue System Link Dump

Yarn Stuff

This all started with Yarn, the dialogue editor loosely modelled on Twine, developed for Night In The Woods.

Yarn Editor: https://github.com/infiniteammoinc/Yarn

The Yarn editor is based on web technologies, but runs on your desktop in a NW.js runtime. There’s also a proof-of-concept Unity plug-in.

Yarn Spinner: https://github.com/thesecretlab/YarnSpinner

This is the most full-featured implementation of a Yarn-based dialogue system for Unity. Can control characters and display speech bubbles, render bold text, and turn emojis in text into facial expressions of your game characters.

Merino: https://github.com/radiatoryang/merino

An alternative editor for Yarn, directly integrated into Unity. The editor is oriented around text editing, instead of the node graph view of the default Yarn editor, and you can run the dialogue from the editor.

Jacquard: https://github.com/StirfireStudios/Jacquard

Feature-rich Yarn editor, also based on web technologies, also for the desktop.

Jarn: https://github.com/mini2Dx/jarn

Yarn loader and runner for Java.

Other Dialogue Engines

https://github.com/digiwombat/TalkerMakerDeluxe

WindowsForm-based editor for a tree-based dialogue format. Predates Yarn. I don’t know any game that uses this.

https://github.com/seleb/strand

Basically the same idea as Yarn: Dialogue in Unity, also inspired by Twine, but an independent project.

Twine

Twee2: https://dan-q.github.io/twee2/

This seems to be the twine2 compiler, refactored out of twine2 to allow desktop tools to use it like the old twee compiler.

TweeGo: https://www.motoslave.net/tweego/

A twine compiler written from scratch in Go.

Other Choice-based systems

ChoiceScript: https://www.choiceofgames.com/make-your-own-games/choicescript-intro/, https://github.com/dfabulich/choicescript/

Multiple-choice IF system based on an indentation-based text syntax. Tooling includes a brute-force automated playtester

Ink: https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/

Feature-rich text-based IF system. Syntax influenced by to ChoiceScript. Mutiple commercial games shipped. Nice desktop editor. Command-line compiler is available, but the compiled format is a bit complex.

FicDown: https://github.com/rudism/Ficdown, https://ficdown.com/reference

Like twee or Ink, but with markdown syntax.

Parser IF

http://www.linusakesson.net/dialog/index.php

A prolog-inspired language for Interactive fiction. This one is a mix between Ceptre, Prolog, and Inform, trying to model the world. But like in twine, there is a syntactic difference between describing the world/variables, and text output.

http://inform7.com/

The list wouldn’t be complete otherwise
