Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door Textures from here!
I'm making a neocities so I thought to share some resources I make.
You may see some Demonschool posting as well soon because GOD I needed Ti's sprites so bad>:3
I do hope it ends up being seamless but I doubt most of them will be.
Hi folks!! I know I'm not super active on here anymore, but my little sibling needs help!
We're not in the same state and I don't have much funds I can send to help with their bills/food/etc, but I can make art and websites!!
They're running really low on funds and no doctor has figured out what's wrong ( we think it's rheumatoid arthritis) Anything helps!!
Heya folks! I released some things that I hope RPGMaker devs who use the character creator might find helpful ^^
First, I updated the top surgery pack into a full transmasc asset pack! Now you're characters can have binders and trans tape too.
PWYW Transmasc assets for RPGMaker MV/MZ
Next, I created a 'shaved hairstyles' pack that works for all the available body types in RPGMaker's character creator ^-^
PWYW Shaved hair assets for RPGMaker MV/MZ
Lastly, for those confused about how to add generator parts in general, I created a tool on GitHub for it!
Contribute to gensuta/RPGMaker_Generator_Parts_Mover development by creating an account on GitHub.
No, I am NOT good at naming things, but I hope that these help people just starting out! I know it may feel odd to use the character creator for games, but it's good to start somewhere and I'd love for people to have more options when getting started.
I'll hopefully make a braids pack sometime soon and will post that when it's done <3
im not on tumblr much anymore because I can't really handle being active on more than 2 social media platforms at a time, but I hope any of my followers have been pushing for countries to be free from colonialism and genocide. Sudan, Palestine, Congo, Hawaii, Yemen, and more. This world is so so cruel to have us all pushing for what's right just to have it turned down by the stupid US, but we have to keep pushing and fighting for this.
Anyway, that is to say, if you don't believe Palestine should be free, if you think boycotting is dumb, unfollow me please and thanks.
Hi everyone!
I recently just made a small asset pack for RPGMaker since I saw there weren't any free top surgery scar packs out there yet for the Character Generator!
They're mainly good for MV/MZ but it should be pretty easy to get them into Game Creator Hub / VX Ace I hope. Either way, if you need any help getting this set up in your version of RPGMaker feel free to comment on itch.io ^-^
Also, I'm currently raising funds to make sure me and my partner don't get evicted so if you do have funds to spare, this asset pack is PWYW, but will always be free for all who need it!
My ko-fi is also here in case people want to donate directly https://ko-fi.com/gensuta/goal?g=22
Thanks so much and hope you enjoy <3
Yeah I getcha. I was once like you. Pure and naive. Great news. I AM STILL PURE AND NAIVE, GAME DEV IS FUN! But where to start?
To start, here are a couple of entry level softwares you can use! source: I just made a game called In Stars and Time and people are asking me how to start making vidy gaems. Now, without further ado:
SOFTWARES AND ENGINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE!!!
Ren'py (and also a link to it if you click here do it):
THE visual novel software. Comic artists, look no further
✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It has great documentation! It has a bunch of plugins and UI stuff and assets for you to buy! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) You can also port your game to a BUNCH of consoles!
✨Cons: None really <3
Some games to look at: Doki Doki Literature Club, Bad End Theater, Butterfly Soup
Twine:
Great for text-based games! GREAT FOR WRITERS WHO DONT WANNA DRAW!!!!!!!!! (but you can draw if you want)
✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's versatile! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch)
✨Cons: You can add pictures, but it's a pain.
Some games to look at: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo, Queers In love At The End of The World, Escape Velocity
Bitsy:
Little topdown games!
✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's (somewhat) intuitive! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! You can make everything in it, from text to sprites to code! Those games sure are small!
✨Cons: Those games sure are small. This is to make THE simplest game. Barely any animation for your sprites, can barely fit a line of text in there. But honestly, the restrictions are refreshing!
Some games to look at: honestly I haven't played that many bitsy games because i am a fake gamer. The picture above is from Under A Star Called Sun though and that looks so pretty
RPGMaker:
To make RPGs! LIKE ME!!!!!
NOTE: I recommend getting the latest version if you can, but all have their pros and cons. You can get a better idea by looking at this post.
✨Pros: Literally everything you need to make an RPG. Has a tutorial inside the software itself that will teach you the basics. Pretty simple to understand, even if you have no coding experience! Also I made a post helping you out with RPGMaker right here!
✨Cons: Some stuff can be hard to figure out. Also, the latest version is expensive. Get it on sale!
Some games to look at: Ib, Hylics, In Stars and Time (hehe. I made it)
engine.lol:
collage worlds! it is relatively new so I don't know much about it, but it seems fascinating. picture is from Garden!
NOTE: There's a bunch of smaller engines to find out there. Just yesterday I found out there's an Idle Game Maker made by the Cookie Clicker creator. Isn't life wonderful?
✨more advice under the cut. this is Long ok✨
ENGINES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND THEY SEEM HARD BUT ALSO GIVE IT A TRY I GUESS!!!! :
Unity and Unreal: I don't know anything about those! That looks hard to learn! But indie devs use them! It seems expensive! Follow your dreams though! Don't ask me how!
GameMaker: Wuh I just don't know anything about it either! I just know it's now free if your game is non-commercial (aka, you're not selling it), and Undertale was made on it! It seems good! You probably need some coding experience though!!!
Godot: Man I know even less about this one. Heard good things though!
BUNCHA RANDOM ADVICE!!!!
-Make something small first! Try making simple: a character is in a room, and exits the room. The character can look around, decide to take an item with them, can leave, and maybe the door is locked and you have to find the key. Figuring out how to code something like that, whether it is as a fully text-based game or as an RPGMaker map, should be a good start to figure out how your software of choice works!
-After that, if you have an idea, try first to make the simplest version of that idea. For my timeloop RPG, my simplest version was two rooms: first room you can walk in, second room with the King, where a cutscene automatically plays and the battle starts, you immediately die, and loop back to the first room, with the text from this point on reflecting this change. I think I also added a loop counter. This helped me figure out the most important thing: Can This Game Be Made? After that, the rest is just fun stuff.
So if you want to make a dating sim, try and figure out how to add choices, and how to have affection points go up and down depending on your choices! If you want to make a platformer, figure out how to make your character move and jump and how to create a simple level! If you just want to make a kinetic visual novel with no choices, figure out how to add text, and how to add portraits! You'll be surprised at how powerful you'll feel after having figured even those simple things out.
-If you have a programming problem or just get confused, never underestimate the power of asking Google! You most likely won't be the only person asking this question, and you will learn some useful tips! If you are powerful enough, you can even… Ask people??? On forums??? Not me though.
-Yeah I know you probably want to make Your Big Idea RIGHT NOW but please. Make a smaller prototype first. You need to get that experience. Trust me.
-If you are not a womanthing of many skills like me, you might realize you need help. Maybe you need an artist, or a programmer. So! Game jams on itch.io are a great way to get to work and meet other game devs that have different strengths! Or ask around! Maybe your artist friend secretly always wanted to draw for a game. Ask! Collaborate! Have fun!!!
I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye
