You're welcome! Clearly I need to get back into French again... I'm okay with that though, cuz it's a very nice language to learn! I don't want to put any pressure on you, and I'm okay with using Google. It just might take a little longer, that's all. It's really sweet to include them both like that. And that's a very good message, too. I think making that your first game was a nice way to start your itch.io journey, don't you think?

Thank you! The game wasn't supposed to be taken too seriously, but that's what's great about creative stuff like this. You can interpret it however you like! That's nice of you to say, and I will be happy to remake it in the future. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Gooooood! Both actually! You can play the game until you win, and after that you can continue in an endless mode (and there's an essence item that allows for a second ending but that's a whole other thing)!

Excellent point! I never considered that for some reason, but I'd be happy to buy them online! The DS always looked really slick to me, too. It's nice to have a consistent conversation like this. I don't usually feel compelled to talk to anyone this much, but occasionally I meet someone who brings it out of me for whatever reason. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ It's really cool when communities like that stick around for so long, isn't it? I like how RPG Maker is still bringing people together.

You bet I was! ๐Ÿ˜Ž No problem! Ah, I foolishly deleted a lot of my oldest ones (which I thoroughly regret now), but some of the newer ones I kept thankfully! At some point I'm considering releasing some of the ones I don't feel like finishing as prototypes. Just so they don't sit in a folder forever, ya know? My younger self definitely would be! The poor guy spent years working on projects that never got finished, so he'd be happy to know I finally figured out what to do! ๐Ÿ˜

If you don't mind me asking, when did you learn how to speak English?

(+1)

French can be hard and confusing sometimes, even for a native speaker lol. Thanks again and yes I guess you're right! Also if you ever need a French lesson, I'm your man๐Ÿ˜€

Haha, yes you're also right about that! Seeing this cute little ghost wandering around and sobbing at everything was sad... I just wanted to hug him to be honnest๐Ÿค—

Oh nice, I really like that actually! Must be really satisfying when you get a lot of combos and coins in endless mod๐Ÿค‘

Nintendo's portable consoles are the best, so nice to play and their games are so "cozy", and yes I can confirm the DS was great! True, and yes same for me. When I open Itch.io and see a notification that said you replied, it makes me happy๐Ÿ˜. Yes definitely and I'm sure the RPG Maker lineage is far from over with games like Omori and Fear&Hunger seeing huge successes, and I'm pretty sure it's thanks to these RM engines that other have seen the light of days like RPG in a box. So, a big thanks to RPG Maker๐Ÿ˜˜

Haha! Yeah same I deleted a lot of old ones but it's nice that you still have some, and yes good idea to either release them as remakes or just the way they are, as a piece of your own history. In a way, it's thanks to them that you were able to progress! Litte pancake can be pround, that for sure๐Ÿฅž

Oh, it's simple actually. Just like you, as a teen, I loved wathing Let's Play but the French ones were... not great to say the least. So I began to listen to English Youtubers and by listening to them over and over again I learned at my own pace. It also helped me alot when searching for tutorial and other things since they were a lot more common in English, and I find English pleasant to listen to! I still have a lot of progress to make and still use Google from time to time to correct myself when writing things! But please, oh please, never ask me to speak english, my accent is awful!!!๐Ÿคข

(+1)

The same can be said for English! It has some goofy exceptions that make no sense, too. Most languages probably have that in common honestly, which is what makes them so interesting! Good to know! I might take ya up on that offer later!

Aww. Maybe when I remake it, the ghost can get a hug at the end!

For sure! Winning millions of coins in one spin feels great! Then it makes me wish I could do that in real life. ๐Ÿ˜

Well, you've got me sold on them! Guess I should go browsing for a DS soon. ๐Ÿ‘€ It's fun right? I like looking for the notification too! ๐Ÿ˜ Very true! Those games brought RPG Maker back into the spotlight big time! And you're probably right, yeah! I imagine RM did increase the interest in other engines, which is definitely a good thing, cuz I like the variety of engines available to lazy devs like me who refuse to learn how to code.

It's probably pretty common for devs to do that, unfortunately. Sometimes it's easy to be very critical of the early stuff, even though as you say they're what allow you to make the better games later anyway! Just one of those lessons certain devs gotta learn the hard way, I suppose. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Aw! Little Pancake! Now I wanna make that into a character, cuz it sounds so cute. ๐Ÿ˜†

I guess I can't use the same method to learn French if the English YouTubers are more fun to watch! ๐Ÿ˜œ That's cool though! And it makes sense that it would be helpful for tutorials and things like that. You're doing great! And that's okay, I don't mind French accents! But I also understand being embarrassed, cuz I feel the same about my accent when speaking French.

Oh yeah, I'm curious to know what 'poulet rรดti' actually means in English (I know I could look this up, but I'd rather ask you)... My guess is either 'roast chicken' or 'rotisserie chicken'. Am I right? Also I'm interested to know what inspired that name in the first place (unless it's as simple as you just really like chicken so you made it your name ๐Ÿ˜‹ which is basically the reason for my name).

Yeah true, languages are weird!! We have the chance that our two languages have some similarities and even some common words wich can make things easier to understand and learn.

I would love that, I'm sure the poor thing just need a bit of love๐Ÿค—

Millions of coins in one spin? Wow, yeah too bad there's not an option to transfer them to our banck account, we should contact the dev so they can add it in the next update!

Of course it's super fun, andif you like cute and/or relaxing games you can't go wrong (no, i'm not sponsored by Nintendo, I swear!). Yeah they can act as a showcase to what can be done with these engines! "I like the variety of engines available to lazy devs like me who refuse to learn how to code" made me laught๐Ÿคฃ. Lazy and pround of it, yeah๐Ÿ’ช

Yeah you're probably right. Haha, can't wait to see what kind of delicious adventures await sir Little Pancake?๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿฅž

Hey, maybe you can like them, who know? Yeah it helped quite a lot knowing English. Thanks again ๐Ÿ˜‰ and yeah true, also without practicing the prononciation and accent you cant' really progress, but practicing means embarrassing yourself in front of others... Argh life is hard๐Ÿ™„

Lol I wanted to ask about your username in this post because I completely forgot to do so in my previous one, wanted to know if the "8Pancakes4Lunch" had a super deep meaning for you! Guess you beat me to it, shoot! Well, your first guest was the right one๐Ÿ—. Not a long story actually, saw someone having the username Poule (Hen), found it funny for some reason and decided to just copy-past it and modified it a little... Poulet Rรดti was born๐Ÿ˜Ž But I'm really curious about yours!

(+1)

Yes, the similarities are very helpful! I like that a lot about French. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

I think we could all use more of that these days to be honest. Especially the ghosts, though! It's not easy being unseen and unheard. Maybe I should make a dating sim about ghosts or something... ๐Ÿค”

With the right build, it's actually possible to spin billions at a time! ๐Ÿค‘ I know right? That would be a great quality of life feature to add!

I donno... Maybe the reason why you took part in that game jam was so you could sell Nintendo stuff to unsuspecting participants! ๐Ÿ™ƒ Exactly, and I think that's one of the reasons why Ash likes to do the jams as well, because submissions also serve as a showcase of what's possible using various engines. You know it! ๐Ÿ’ช I'm sure I'll get around to learning a coding language some day... Maybe.

Actually Little Pancake could have his own game... Aw jeez... I'm getting too many game ideas now! ๐Ÿ˜ต

Good point! And even though I haven't watched any French gaming channels yet, I do actually have a couple of French ASMR channels I listen to. I don't study them too closely though, since it plays in the background while I'm working on stuff. Yeah, I know what you mean. Which is why most of the time I'm just happy to make it through another day!

Yeah, basically I just called myself '8Pancakes4Lunch' because I enjoy eating pancakes for lunch. AtePancakesForLunch is a bit long though, so I thought it looked better with numbers instead (kinda too bad 1984 isn't my birth year, cuz that would've worked out perfectly, but I'm about a decade late for that to apply)! Sorry to steal your conversation piece from ya. I knew it! And what a glorious dev name it is! ๐Ÿ— Actually that makes me wonder if you're going to make a game about roast chicken at some point. I haven't really made a game about pancakes yet... Pancakes of the Future is the closest thing so far, but it's mostly not about pancakes!

(2 edits) (+1)

If you know the words baguette, croissant and pain au chocolat, you can speak French almost fluently!

Yeah a hug never hurt, such a simple gesture that can warms hearts and gives the feeling of being loved! Could be a fun idea for a game actually, maybe a human guiding ghosts to the afterlife with the help of love๐Ÿ˜„

REALLY?! I really loved the fact that the game wasn't just about RNG and I guess you have to strategize even more as you progress through the game, right? It sure would be cool๐Ÿค‘

Of course not, just buy the DS and its entire catalog of game already, it's not a trap๐Ÿฑโ€๐Ÿ‘ค. Yes I think you're right! His channel is also a gold mine for anyone who would want to try their hands with these engines, or just to watch chill let's play and see what they're capable to achieve. He is so cool๐Ÿ˜Ž

Oops, but you said earlier that you shoudn't do too much at once so Little Pancake can wait a bit, I'm sure he will be fine and he won't blame you๐Ÿ˜

Oh ASMR, I've heard a lot about this type of video but never tried one myself. Does it actually help you? And if you have any good recommendations, I am willing to try them!

Omg I feel so stupid, didn't make the connection with the pronunciation of 8 and ate, lol! Wow, both of our usernames tell us alot about ourselves๐Ÿ˜‹Another question for you: What do you eat your pancakes with? Never thought about it to be honnest... the chicken that wanted to be roasted! Maybe one day, who know! Oh yeah I watched Ash played it, it was pretty funny and random!

(+1)

In that case, I'm all set! ๐Ÿฅ–๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ˜‹ Now I'm hungry, though...

Exactly. ๐Ÿ˜Š I like where this idea is going! I'll keep it in mind for now.

Yep! That's right, it's kind of a deckbuilding game in that sense. Normally I'm not a big fan of strategic gameplay, but LBAL is simple enough that I don't feel like I ever have to think too hard about it, but at the same time it's challenging enough that the gameplay doesn't get stale!

Oh I believe you! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Agreed! Ash is a cool dude for sure. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Yes yes, I must focus! Gotta release my monthly dungeon today! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Absolutely! I find ASMR very soothing! Sure, I'd be happy to give you some recommendations! I'll give you a couple English ones and a couple French ones to give you some options: ASMR KALI & Alinรฉa ASMR are two French creators I like. Goodnight Moon & Gibi ASMR are two American ones. Oh and don't worry if it doesn't appeal to you right away! It took some time for me to get used to it, and some people don't get any sensation from ASMR in the first place.

It's okay! My name is sneaky like that... ๐Ÿฑโ€๐Ÿ‘ค Our names say everything they need to say! What more do you need to know about a person other than their favourite food, am I right? ๐Ÿ™ƒ I'm from Canada, so I love having maple syrup on pancakes first and foremost! I also like have some fresh fruit on the side, too. Actually now that I think about it... One of my older games was gonna be about a cooked chicken that runs around and I'm not even joking. I believe you're thinking of Take a Break for Pete's Sake. Ash played the other one too, but he didn't make a video on it.

(+1)

Ooh it's today that you have to release it? Oops, I should let you work on it... it reminds me that I also have a game in the work๐Ÿ˜…

Maybe I won't wait for a sale to buy it, I really want to play it!!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll keep them in mind and will definitely try to listen to them soon!

Mmh, sounds delicious๐Ÿฅž! Lol really? pretty fun coincidence!

Oh yeah you're right, sorry. I should try it myself then๐ŸŽฎ

Good luck with your dungeon๐Ÿ’ช

Sorry to cut our talk a little short yesterday! Thanks for your patience! Oh, is that so? In that case I'm eager to see what kind of game Poulet cooks up next! Speaking of which, I replayed Le Voyage d'une rรชveuse and translated it the whole way through, which I'm very glad I did! It was lovely to understand it better. It's a sweet game with lots of heart and soul, and I can tell it came from a place of strong love for your family.

You should! It's worth it! And of course I'm totally not sponsored by the developer or anything... ๐Ÿ˜

And if you don't like any of those creators, feel free to berate me for suggesting them to you. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Yeeeeesssss... I love me some good pancakes! ๐Ÿฅž๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿฅž Right? I really wanna finish making that game now, cuz the idea is still funny to me.

No need to apologise! Thanks for playing it!

Thank you for the luck! It definitely helped! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜ค And now I've got plenty of extra time to work on stuff before dungeon #3 next month!

So when did your love for roast chicken begin?

(+1)

Don't worry, I'm super happy that you were able to post your monthly dungeon in time! Yees but i'm so sloow! Wow you did? Congrats for translating everything, thank you so much for your nice comment and happy that you enjoyed the experience๐Ÿค—

Mmm... That seems a bit suspect to me๐Ÿค”

Oh I will, you can count on me๐Ÿ˜ˆHaha!

I actually never made pancakes myself, I really should try one day because every time I had the opportunity to ate some it was soo good! Lol, would love to see that, it is a fun idea๐Ÿ—

I really enjoyed playing it, your thought about the future were fun and sweet so I'm happy you corrected me! I hope you will win the jam in 1756 years!

Yeah, congratulation for that๐Ÿฅณ Do you already have an idea on what you will work on next?

Well, I don't know... but I also like them when they're not in my plate, they're cute๐Ÿ”๐Ÿฝ
