It's usually done with scripts.  I'm just getting into parallax mapping right now.

Ah yea that's about as far as I got asking around on the RPG forums. I think I'd be better off asking on reddit, I don't know how many people on the RPG forums straight up refused to even bother offering help because "rpg maker isn't good for side scrollers" despite Lisa being a critical hit and several others. Freaking weird how many people get like rude over me trying to make a side scroller. I'm like piss off mate I can make what I want it's been done before.

I managed to find the code for download...missing half of the code smh. It was the only one I could find and it was corrupted or something. Attempted to add it to my RPG maker only for the options that supposed to show up when entered to not show up.

To reddit I guess lol!

Well, I mean... I have a programmer that could probably help with that.  And it's not far from the truth.  I needed tons of custom scripts to make what I plan on making.

I'll see if I can find it again, it was my only post to RPG maker forums where I found the name of it but I admit I don't remember my login info ack
I don't know if it would even be of any use, because I don't know anything about coding so it could be broken or unbroken for all I know.

Do you know if RPG maker allows dynamic moving/gradient lighting? I saw a video a while ago(which I can't seem to find) and someone made (in RPG maker I'm sure of it) a side scrolling game and it had dynamic lighting. And the Lighting was gradient and moved about. Like there was a scene where the characters were under a tree but you could see beams of sunlight independently moving over the characters as well as shade in the shape of the leaves above. I saw that and I assume it would need coding or something x_x if only I can find the video...

Sometimes I think I should just try unity but unity somehow looks twice as difficult as RPG maker

Ahh man I didn't know that
damn I'm hella torn on which one I wanna try to use. I really like rpg maker, it's got a nice simple look but unity has like built in effects already. Like for instance if you make a ball on a chain it already has effects you can apply to make it swing back and forth. Unity is basically adobe after effects for games.
I really like the lighting you can do in rpg maker though, it's nice and cute. I don't know how it could be applied to side scrollers though because the only examples I can find is for top/down view.

But i think maybe I'm already biting off more than I can chew. I have ideas but no idea how to make them lol. I probably should start off with something simple but the story lines for potential RPGs I wanna make are big. 

Do you draw the graphics before you start making your games or do you just use place holders until later? I don't wanna go through doing a shit ton of art only to realize I don't want to work on it/can't figure anything out. (This goes for the background/world graphics as well)

I have graphics in the works, which may or may not be good.  I have assets being made as I type.  Chapter 1's stuff is nearly done.  RM is a really easy engine to use, but it has its limits.  Bu---t, there are ways to surpass those limits with really good scripters.

Cynderthedragon5768 In reply to FatherOfMusho [2019-09-23 03:16:41 +0000 UTC]

I guess that's easier if you already have them LOL
I think I'd just have to use default until I was sure I'd actuslly be working on something. Don't wanna waste time lol.
Does RPG maker allow animated sprites or are they static? Like I guess a stationary animation when they stand still.

And RM? What's that?

Yea true but if you don't know anything about scripts you're outta luck or you have to pay someone 8/ I don't know if unity is script heavy like RPG maker or not. Do you pay your scripter? if so do you pay him for each script, a group of them, or per hour? what's his prices if you do?

RM - RPG Maker.  Yep, I pay... per script, I think - 66 dollars.  I mean, I've used it since the old days, and that's why I'm so good with it.  It allows animated sprites, especially with Yanfy's engine.  Unity is... I dunno.  Never used it.

What's RM stand for though? I've heard of it referred to as MX or MV before lol
What do these abbreviations meaaaaan

www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXDK6I…
It's got a bunch of pretty cool stuff. I think if you know coding you'd probably already know the ropes, maybe lol I haven't used it yet
I think I might go with unity, it just looks like it offers more wide effects and such
plus its apparently easier for side scrollers and offers parallax BG by just clicking a button, I don't have to go on a goose chase for code...

Also in between the last time I replied and now, I've spent hours watching unity videos and I know basics of movement and camera and all that. Learned backgrounds and shading and dialogue boxes and events and quick time events and maps and all that...

but then I came to the conclusion...
lol straight up I have no game ideas that appeal to me. Turns out the story is also as important(no shit, me) and I ain't got any that appeal to me atm

like you know how many damn drafts I'm gonna have to do?! Before I even get to making the game I'd have to make like a entire freaking story board movie just to know whats gonna happen. Also I discovered over the near 20 something ideas for games I've had they all are just kinda similar in characters or plot. I dunno how I never noticed
I was just lookin back at them like hecK yeA- wait why do they have the same plot beats, multiple endings and easter eggs
this is boring.
So now I'm sat, with my new found knowledge of making video games for the magical day I can get unity on that magical laptop I wanna get
....with no story i wanna commit to
I came up with a epic idea just to combine all the themes I came up with but that a fookin MESS.

I dunno my story lines sound better suited for comics, I don't think anyone prepares you for the differences between structuring a comic and game.

RM stands for RPG Maker.  I've used it for most of my life.  I'm decent and storytelling and have the first chapter of Musho sculpted out in my head.  That and I've been doing RM and writing for a good amount of time.  I don't have any advice for you personally, since ideas just come to me.

Its not so much ideas coming to me it's mostly I find them dull I think I should just pick one at random to work on or something, or try a random short game.
