Greybox Tileset and Tiles!

I made a ton of basic 48 x 48 tilesets for people who want to make their own unique tilesets for their RPG Maker games but DON'T wanna have to reinvent the wheel with getting certain patterns and geometry to line up. I also made a greybox tileset with tons of primitive shapes to help plan out levels! ✨ Feel free to use and modify for your own projects! ✨ Let me know what you think! I'd love to see anything you make with these!

Here are some examples of greybox maps I made with the above tileset! I'm quite happy with them, these tilesets have been great for planning out layouts without getting bogged down in the details.

Welcome to the world of “if…” Compared to yours, there’s something different here. It is a small world, but please do take a look.

Download “If…”

“If…” is a small game created in 2004 by Parun, the author of Re:Kinder. In the world of “If…”, being gay is typical, while heterosexuals are a minority.

Content warnings: discrimination, bullying and suicide.

Translated from Japanese by Team NeuroSymbiosis. Translation: Carnation Hiroi Technical support, editing, testing and bugfix: uboaappears (shroomy) Contact: [email protected] We saw this game and spontaneously translated it. We plan to translate at least one more of Parun’s older games. Hope you enjoy “If…”!

[vortex-parallax]

We've been alerted that the MEGA link is dead, so I've reuploaded the translation to Google Drive. The link in the original post has been updated. In addition, I decided to upload my archive of Parun's old games, since they may be hard to find (and just in case something happens to the archive.org link).

Parun games archive (Team NeuroSymbiosis) Parun games archive (archive.org)

We're not working on anything right now so please feel free to translate any of these!

Patchy Illusion Team has since translated Heisei Pistol Show.

[vortex-parallax]

is there a new download link for your translation of parun's "if..."? the current one leads to a page that says that "the file you are trying to download is no longer available". i'm aiming to record footage of it for youtube so that there's more documentation (or any at all, really) of parun's lesser-known works. thanks!

Hi there! Thanks for getting in touch. I've reuploaded the translation to Google Drive, here: If... English translation by Team NeuroSymbiosis Completely forgot that MEGA deleted files after a while, sorry about that! I'll edit the link in the post about it too. Love the idea of documenting Parun's older work, do send a link to your channel! 😊 Actually, I have something for you if you want to do more. At the time of translating If..., we downloaded all of Parun's games we possibly could. Here's the archive. We're not actively working on any translations at the moment, so anyone is welcome to use these. Some are LiveMaker games that I wasn't sure how to extract text from. We had started translating Heisei Pistol Show, but someone beat us to it here. I have no idea what I was doing with Alice in Wonder Family, I think we may have started to translate it but stopped? Including both versions I have just in case. Anyway, have fun and thanks again for messaging! Parun nation must live on. ❤ - shroomy

Well here it finally is! The demo for PURPLE: Director’s Cut is finally out for the public !

With it’s release, I am officially removing the original game from being downloaded, but I’ll be keeping the youtube longplay up for a bit longer so if you have not seen the original, you can still watch it for a bit!

And as always, I would love to hear your feedback! Please share this if you can ^w^ and thank you all for being so patient with me!

This needs more notes.

My husband and I try to give each other “permission to not be helpful” all the time. Like he sees me doing dishes and he says “hey, I’ll finish all the dishes. You grab a drink and relax, okay?” It’s a wonderful thing.

Every time I see a ‘modern au’ ft a character that has some sort of limb replacement like a metal arm or w/e and the ‘cool au version’ of it is a sleeve tattoo I literally want to reach through the screen and slap some sense into whoever posted it

They got a prosthetic in canon they gonna get a prosthetic in the au!!!! Because, I know this is a little far-fetched, but people who need prosthetics actually exist!!! In real life?! What a coincidence?!

[gostaks]

Also you want cool prosthetics??? They totally exist

Want your character to have a cool prosthetic in the modern day?

steampunk? check

#aesthetic? Floral?

avant garde?

cyberpunk?

there are no excuses for erasing canonical disabilities

Friendly reminder that knowing and respecting your own limits is not giving up, it’s taking care of yourself. And I’m so proud of you for doing that. And you are enough just the way you are. 🌸

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.

Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?

I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.

Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol

Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality and other things

Hi everyone! Because of the current events, I want to use my platform to highlight some ways we can all help the people fighting for a fairer world. As a white person, it is the least I can do.

🖤 Firstly, itch.io are currently doing the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, a bundle of over 1500 paid games for $5 or more! There are many amazing games there, including some RPG Maker games like Hello Charlotte EP2, OneShot and Long Gone Days. The bundle lasts until June 15th and all proceeds go to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund split 50/50.

🖤 If you are a dev and have paid games, you can still submit to the bundle! Free games are showcased separately as supporters. I have joined as such, as I don’t have any paid games to submit at the moment. 

🖤 I made a Twitter moment about ways you can help the Black Lives Matter movement if you have no money. Includes links to petitions, YouTube videos that donate ad revenue and other things. Please check it out and share!

🖤 I particularly want to highlight Tab for a Cause, a browser extension that I have been using for a while. It shows ads on your new tab page and donates the proceeds to charity. They are currently donating to NAACP. They also have an offshoot called Search for a Cause that does the same with your web searches.

🖤 Unrelated to BLM, but close to my heart and important for me: Yulia Tsvetkova, a Russian feminist and LGBT+ activist is about to be jailed for up to 6 years for “distributing pornography” - that is, body-positive DRAWINGS of women with different body types. Please sign the petition and share!

✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻 Please share this post! ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻

If you have any further resources, please let me know and I will add them to this post and to my Twitter moment. Stay safe and remember to wear a mask and maintain social distancing if you are going to a protest!

Hey, about Parun's if..., could you guys clarify what the differences are between the game in [final] and the updated 2.00 (contained in another zip file) sitting next to it? Is there a changelog somewhere, if there are any differences?

Hello!! Please ignore the zip file inside the zip file, I left it there accidentally. The download should have been fixed some time after we posted the game, but if you downloaded it before then, then you would have this extra file. Sorry for the inconvenience 🙏🏻
