Just bought the course after watching some of your videos on YouTube. You do good stuff. With regard to providing video content, I guess the best method would be to use YouTube's ability to have unlisted videos and playlists. That way you can host the videos on YouTube and just share a link via a file included with the course.
Looking forward to digging into the course. If you're taking suggestions for future sections, I'd love to see an FPS tutorial.
That works! Unfortunately some of the elements, like the checkbox, are too small to see, which isn't your fault, but mine since I tried to use a pixel-art theme with a 720p game. I might end up using your SimpleBox theme instead, with some modifications. If you ever decide to do a larger/HD version of this ornate theme, though, I can guarantee you one sale! :)
Hey Justin,
I think I've been spoiled by your frequent updates, so now that I haven't seen any new announcement posts in a couple weeks I'm like, "I wonder if everything's ok?"
As I continue to work on my game prototype, a question about stats has occurred to me. In my game, I've decided not to use a combat system, instead the game centers around stat tests like what some RPGs have during their dialogue. You know, where you can try to intimidate a person and it'll do a random roll against your strength stat to see if the attempt succeeds. Currently I'm using RPG maker to prototype (sorry for using your competitor for that! :3 ), and I'm using variables for the different stats, along with a custom made information window to display them. I was wondering if creating a similar custom window will be possible with RiaB? What I'm currently doing is a simple list with labels on the left and the variable display of the stat as a set of star icons on the right of the label, where the number of stars displayed is the value of the variable (ranging from 1 to 5). Just curious if the ability to do something like that will exist in RiaB?
Hey there! Been a while, but I got derailed for a bit and now I'm back and working on my game. Well, really just playing around with RiaB and learning how to use it and improving my art skills with the voxel editor, since I get the impression with 0.5 that a lot will change under the hood.
Anyway, I had a suggestion, which I didn't see on the Trello board, which is to have item durability. Weapons get worn down with use and armors get worn down when the player is hit in combat, with the developer controlling rate of decay, and what happens when the item reaches 0 durability. We'd be able to choose if the item is destroyed, becomes unusable but remains in the inventory, or has a stat decrease.
Relatedly, ammo counts for ranged weapons would be nice as well, but you've probably already got that planned :)
Unrelatedly, and sorry for having a bunch of different thoughts in one post, I saw on the Trello that you're planning to have 2D sprites for characters. I'm curious how this would work in terms of development. Would you implement a sprite editor within RiaB? If that's so, does that mean one day, in the future, we could potentially get a 2D version of RiaB? XD
Yeah, I get the idea that the limits are there for that "nostalgia" reason, but another big appeal of these fantasy consoles is that all the tools to make a game are built into a single program. You can code, make art, design sounds, compose music, all at once. A fantasy console without hard limits on sprites, code, and so forth would be a fantastic product. Maybe I should make my own....
Very cool. Do you have a timeline estimate for when you think line dance battles will be implemented? My current game was originally designed for RPG Maker, and was built around those kinds of battles. Not that I need them anytime soon or anything, I can keep myself busy for a while yet making the maps and events and everything else. I was just curious what sort of personal timeline you're working on.
You know, I was thinking the other night that it would be cool if the RPG in a Box "sequel" went the low-poly 3D route and included it's own simple modeller for making art, but thought that would be too complex to animate. But, if you do eventually support creating skeletal animations in RiaB in the future, maybe that dream might become a reality one day! XD
I wasn't planning to dive too deeply into RPG in a Box for a while, but I'm really liking the fact that I can make all my game art right in the application without having to go into a external editor. That convenience makes all the difference in the world for me, and you even have a sound generator included with music generation as a long-term goal? Super cool. I'm thinking I might switch development of my game away from RPG Maker and into RiaB instead. Hopefully your sales are going/will go well enough that you can keep working on this wonderful software long-term. Once it hits 1.0, it'll be the best RPG making software on the market!
Finally made the purchase. I probably won't get around to making anything for a while (gonna wait until the various systems get fleshed out a bit more before diving in too much), but it looks nice next to the various fantasy consoles on my hard drive ;)
Gotta say, though, that I love the combat system. It currently reminds me of a 3D version of the old SSI Gold Box games, which is good! What plans do you have for the final combat system to look like? It feels like you'll be heading toward a Final Fantasy Tactics/Fire Emblem style as opposed to, for want of a better description, the typical Dragon Quest/JRPG "line dance" style. Or do you plan to support different systems that we can use or extend via scripting?
Very cool. I learned about the existence of RPG in a Box from one of GDQuest's Godot videos, and I must say I'm intrigued. My plan is to purchase soon, once I have my budget for the month sorted, but I was wondering: will RPG in a Box eventually be able to support the creation of a Pokemon-style game? That's the kind of thing I'd realy love to dabble in making.
Edit: Also, it would be really cool if you could work out a deal with Oryx so the voxel art you used for Dungeon in My Pocket could be included with RPG in a Box :D
Hey there,
I was wondering if there are artificial limitations in the same way that other fantasy computers have. Pico-8, for example, limits the maximum amount of code and sprites and whatnot you can use. Does Liko-12 have the same sort of thing? I'd love to have a fantasy computer that DOESN'T have those limitations.
Hey Kenney!
Sorry for posting this here but there doesn't seem to be a Kenney Game Assets community here on Itch. I'm planning to get the Kenney Game Assets 3 soonish, because I love what you do and also the RPG Block Pack looks EXACTLY how I envision my next game to look like!
I was wondering, though, if you could release the colour palette you use for making the art? That way I can create custom content that matches the colours you use. I know I could just colour pick from the already existing assets , but having a palette would make it easier.
Keep up the great work, and I hope to see more RPG Block Pack style assets for different genres other than fantasy ;)
This is really exciting. I bought Pixel Vision 8 recently more on a whim than anything else (I love the concept of fantasy consoles) I probably won't be using it for anything more than playing around with, but it's nice to see that there will be flexibility to publish pretty much anywhere Unity can. That's pretty sweet! :)
