Bridges
Hey, did you know that programming bridges you can walk under and then over on the same map is hard? I think I knew that, but then forgot. That is the current hold up.
Let me amend this, by clarifying my goal a bit more. I want to make bridges that the player AND other events can walk under/over. I’ve got something, it’s getting there, but as always I’m hitting snags. I’ll update as I figure it out.

We continue to celebrate the life of the late Adam West as we look at his role within the Batman universe. After the cancellation of the live action “Batman” series in 1968, for almost a decade Adam West wanted to separate himself from the Caped Crusader persona. It wasn’t until 1977’s animated television show “The New Adventures of Batman” produced by Filmation and distributed under Warner Bros. Television that both Adam West and Burt Ward return to voice Batman and Robin. While this illustrated brief but commercial success, 1992’s episode from the classic “Batman: The Animated Series” titled ‘The Gray Ghost’ (left poster by VegetarianGoat on Deviantart, right poster by Phantom City Creative on Mondotees.com) introduced a new generation to Adam West’s Batman. In this episode, it shows in a flashback a young Bruce Wayne watching his favorite television hero; “those with evil hearts beware for out of the darkness comes…'The Gray Ghost!” The episode, titled ‘The Mad Bomber", when an unknown villain destroys a building using an explosive, becomes relevant to present Bruce Wayne / Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy) when a similar explosion occurs in Gotham, attached a signed note from “The Mad Bomber”. With a shrine to the Gray Ghost in the Batcave, Batman’s fictional hero now can serve as a real life one when he seeks help from the Gray Ghost himself, Simon Trent (voiced by Adam West). A now bankrupt actor who recently sold his 'Gray Ghost’ merchandise, Batman’s contact with Trent was at first filled with anger and disappointment. But once the Gray Ghost realized crimes in the city were paralleled to one of his episodes at the height of his career, he finds the courage in himself and through his idol to team up and save Gotham. West’s 1960s portrayal of the Caped Crusader in the television series 'Batman’ turned this DC Comics character into a cultural icon. With him as Paul Dini’s first choice to voice Simon Trent, 'The Gray Ghost’ illustrated the dynamic duo of Kevin Conroy and Adam West, bringing together two of the most celebrated Dark Knights today. #RIPBatman ✌🏼💙🦇🙏🏽
Makin it work!
Took another week, but I got the obstruction part of the stealth code redone. Sight lines are now more accurate, uniform from all directions and take into account blocks that only touch at the corners. Next up a comparatively simple height difference check and then a ignore-things-that-are-table-height and I'll be happy. Once I get those done I'll update the script on my pastebin, but I probably won't update the game download till the next full update. Feeling pretty psyched :)

@missvoltairine!!!
Awesome!
What's that? Completely revamp my entire stealth system to make it more accurate and elegant to use? SURE, WHY NOT ( OH GOD WHY)
Small Update
Here’s a small update of what I’ve been working on:
With Killer Moth and Kite man in this level, I wanted them to not only have flight animations, but have them lift off the ground as well, similar to how RPG maker makes airships lift off. So step one: see if anyone has already made a script to do that. No point taking more time figuring out a whell someone has already made. I found the excellent Superman Ability script over at https://galvs-scripts.com/ . It was an awesome script that did easily 80% of what I wanted, but for players and followers. Looking at his scripts I figured out how to adapt it to apply to events, but ran into several issues. The game crashed if you changed zones while an event was flying, after fixing that the game crashed after you changed zones back. Then I looked at the also awesome Remember Event Position script by Shaz (https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/remember-event-position.1853/) which I’ve been using for dead enemies. I took the principles in her script and applied them to the flight script so now if an event is flying and you change zones and change back the game remembers that and the map loads with them in the air.
There is currently one big hiccup, though. The game crashes if you enter the menu and then exit. Galv cleverly got around this by disabling the menu while flying, which makes a fair amount of sense when the player is the thing flying, but if Kite Man is flying Batman should still be able to enter the menu. I have no doubt I’ll be able to figure out where I need to put that refresh code, but it’ll still take a lot of digging and a lot of trial and error.
On a another plus side, after 2 years of working on this game I JUST NOW figured out what arrays and hashes are and how they work. It makes the coding make a LOT more sense.
Success!
So the big hiccup was ... ok, this is as easy as I can describe it.
For many additional scripts they use an alias command to add commands to scripts that are already making up the game. That way you don’t need to futz with the Spriteset_map script and fuck up the game in ways you may not be aware of. The alias command adds commands to the END of commands already there. So for this example, I was adding create_flyer_shadows to the Spriteset_map Initialize command. The initialize command already has things like create_characters, _create vehicles, etc, so mimicing those already-in-the-game scripts I figured everything should be working, but it wasn’t :/ Here’s why:
the Spriteset_map Initialize command lists several create commands, then the Update command. Update in this case are the codes that every frame of every second tell a sprite where to be. And by using the Alias command to add create_flyer_shadows to the Initialize command it added it AFTER the update command! So the game was trying to tell a bunch of sprites that didn’t exist where to be! Bam--Crash! So I moved my create_flyer_shadows into the actual game Spriteset_map Initialize command before the Update command and no more problems. It’s done! Took a week’s worth of digging and prying and messing up and learning a lot about Ruby that will make future coding A LOT easier :)
The funny thing is that I went through all this trouble to make a code that in the end I’ll probably only use 25% of. But I don’t mind because 1) I like having robust, versatile scripts because I don’t plan my levels out until after I get all the gears working. While I may only end up using 25% of a script I don’t know which 25% until I get into level making, and at that point I don’t want to lose momentum to cracking code. And 2) I’ve learned a lot in solving this, not only about this code, but also Ruby (the code language RPGMaker uses). But even so I doubt I’m gonna go off and become a game coder. These coding problems are a way for me to further myself, to learn more, to become more well rounded, and to better myself. I know that in the end not a lot of people are gonna play this game, heck I’m really only making it for my brother, but the process of making it is a journey for me to become a better me, and I am very satisfied with that.

I’ve been working again. Slowly but surely I’ll get this done >.>
More stuff, what am I crazy?! These are the normal enemies in the next level
RPG Maker Help?
I’ve been working on and off on a game called South of Real, and I’ve hit a bit of a brick wall. The issue is tilesets.
I loathe autotiles. LOATHE them. But as I’m trying to make my own custom tileset, I feel like I have to deal with them.
Do I? How do y'all handle this? Do you make your own? Do you edit preexisting tilesets? Please give me some advice on this, I really want to finish my passion project here.
I tend to either adjust existing tilesets or make my own with heavy use of photoshop filters. But here’s something that may help out a bit.
So this image is how the autotiles interact with each other. Each color in the top right square takes it’s cue mostly from the corresponding colored square in the main body. So here’s an example of how to get this working.
Here I take the corresponding shapes of the orange and light blue squares and put them in the corner they want to be in.
Clean them up a bit
Do the same for the rest of the corners
Now the block to the left, with all the edges on it is super easy. Just take the 4 corner blocks and make a smaller single square of them.
Like so.
Then take the main body and copy it over.
And here we have the finished product with the red arrows pointing out the new corners we’ve made, and also the color coded tileset for reference.
I know I basically just made new corners for a tileset that already existed, but in making your own or playing with pre-made ones the basis is the same. I hope this helps!
Guess who’s been working on stuff! Here we’ve got the six mini-bosses that make up the next level I’m working on: Clock King, Calendar Man, Crazy Quilt, Maxie Zeus, Kite Man and Killer Moth! Instead of giving one or two villains a whole slew of animations I opted to give the six of these guys one or two animations. I think they turned out pretty good :) (Don’t let the scale fool you, Kite Man and Killer Mother are 2x1 instead of everyone else’s 1x1)
I finished work on my Joker Emotes
Edit: I finished Harley and Scarecrow, so I made their gifs! Enjoy!
GHEY! Haven’t seen this blog in a while, have you? SURPRISE! Killer Moth and Kite Man! the KM team! This levels gonna be fun. It will also include Clock King, Calendar Man, and 2 other Silver Age villains I haven’t quite decided on. Probably Crazy Quilt and someone else ...
3.0 of Gotham Knight is here! Battle/sneak through Amusement Mile to defeat the Scarecrow and Joker and Harley Quinn, with a special guest villain Killer Croc! Play mini-games, explore a SpOoKy FuN hOuSe! Stop Scarecrow from discovering Batman’s secrets from within his own mind!

I always do this >.>
So hey! You may have noticed an unconscious Poison Ivy on the floor of the Batcave ... ignore that >.> she was a placeholder event for me to skip the tutorial and to give me flame gauntlets. I believe that's all she did. She might have given me my Testing Gauntlets, which are super powerful. If so this game may become quite a breeze for you! I'm updating the download file as we speak, so if you downloaded the game before this post then lucky you, if not, well then you get the game as intended.
Andy's Sprite Bases
If you’re after sprite bases, there are some really nice ones over here. I particularly like them because not only do they come in male and female, but they also come in an androgynous variety! Check it out ~
Thanks for the promo, friend!
And yeah, having androgynous bases is important to me, as it can be an easier starting point for non-binary characters.
I’m also working on a larger variety of bases at the moment. They’ll take a while to finish but anyone with interest can find WIPs cropping up regularly on this blog. The female variation is up first.
