  1. Good news! I got my A+ Certification for Computer Hardware and IT! All those years of working with computers, back in Middle School, are finally paying off :D 

  2. I just love getting hate mail, don't you? Nothing spells a whinny, self-entitled, elitist fan-boy than someone acting like they can strong-arm your decisions around like you're obligated to them. Also, when they make false claims saying that you get your money, to fund your game, through unethical means; like, you fucking wish.

     

    I want to drink your tears, I want to driiiiinnnnk it. I want to get a cup, put it under your eyes, get a lemon and a straw and just drink it.

      Only if you drink them from a jewel-encrusted golden chalice :P

      I will drink it from the very Holy Grail, if I have to.

    3. Anime

      Lol, Every game developer get hate mails, and btw the Holy Grail is the best tear-drinking device^^

  3. Map redesign: This is Melodia Hills' redesign, which... so far, looks FAR better than the original version: Finally done taking my break, which means back to making my game. It was a nice 3 week long break from a lot of crap. Symphonic Horizon Manga Patreon Information Also, it's been finally settled: My Manga Artist and I are going to be making a Patreon dedicated to my manga. So, before I get hounded by elitist Relic Castle users for me even stating that I'm using a Patreon, let me elaborate a little bit first: First of all, I pay the people who make my game not in exposure, but with actual freaking money that I've earned through hard work. Any and all money that I make from my personal internship goes towards my game. I don't even accept donations towards my game, so that way any and all complaints in regards to it are null and void. Secondly, selling a manga compared to a fan-game is much more widely accepted, as there are actual rules governed in place that make it so people can sell fan doujinshi's all the time on Ebay and Pixiv. Case and point, here: https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=869368 Thirdly: Those same people also have Patreon's/Kickstarters for their own Doujins as well, so if you want to complain, then go complain to those thousands of, for the most part, respectable and innocent, fledgling Manga-ka's and see what they say. Lastly: All the money from the Patreon goes towards the manga and not my game. That's why I have an... actual internship that pays for this sort of thing? I'm just saying? Also, I'm not stupid, I know the repercussions of what will happen if you crowdfund a fan-game. Trust me, I've seen many a fan-game be taken down because of it. I think that justifies it enough, before I get hate mail from Relic Castle users saying that I'm a fraud for crowd-funding a doujinshi, of all things, even though there are hundreds of thousands of people selling theirs on Ebay and Pixiv all the freaking time.
  4. Pusheen for best cat uwu

  5. People complaining about an English adaptation that adds in 2-3 words is just... wow:

    Like... I didn't even know that these sort of people existed. So what if they added in a few extra lines?

    1. DemICE

      DemICE

      i dont see why extra lines are a problem.   i'd think one would complain about the opposite:  cutting things from the original

    2. seki108

      seki108

      Unless they change the entire dynamic or add/change context, I really don't see how they would be a problem.  Mistranslation is one thing, but this something odd. 

    3. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      People on Kanzenshuu complain if the English Dub doesn't recite what the Japanese Dub originally had from verbatim. It's seriously annoying. It's not even a case of mistranslation, the translation is fine because Funimation translates it a certain way to adapt better for American viewing. i.e. Shortens certain phrases, since the Japanese language is so condensed that you could say a whole sentence in one word.

  6. And now Melodia Hills has its own Title Card The dealio with all the Dragons around Melodia Hills is that they built a wall surrounding their town, due to the aggressive history with the Dragon Type Pokemon attacking them. It's mostly likely having to do with the Fairy Sanctuary being so close nearby that causes the stress levels of the nearby Dragons to rise to the point of attacking anyone nearby.
  7. I. Absolutely hate clickbait and the people who put that shit in their articles/videos/etc. Learn to actually produce content, and be an actually competent human being. Like... what are you THAT untalented that you have to resort to pathetic and desperate methods such as that? Get a real personality pal.

      Or when they make a thumbnail with an arrow pointing at nothing, or circle an area of the image. Like... what the hell is that supposed to mean? There's nothing significant about that part of the image, just eff off, you lying scumbag. Thanks for wasting 30 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.

       

      The worst case of this was when Pokemon GO was still a huge success last Summer, and people would upload "leaks" or "secrets" and there'd be an arrow pointing at some arbitrary point in the video.

    3. Daniel Blackworth

      Daniel Blackworth

      Lol. Yeah. That really happens and even if you think it's insignificant, you'd still check it because it might contain something really important.

    4. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      completely agree. guess my autism puts me at an advantage against clickbait since it has to process what I know about the game/subject before I click it. if I don't know about it I usually don't click it since I look up alot about certain games

  8. For those of you who use Unreal Engine 4 as well, I just made a blueprint class that creates a post-process, cel-shading effect. It's pretty neat-o!

    Don't mind the clashing environments, I'm just playing around with foliage and testing the lighting of the scene XD But yeah, the cel-shader, post-process effect is pretty rad, however, the trees look a little... odd, compared to it's non-cel-shaded form.

      Side note: This is so adorable it makes my head spin:

      that kinda gives me RWBY vibes. that's a good thing

  9. Killing Net Neutrality is a huge deal, and FUCK Trump for doing what he's doing right now. I don't normally, ever, talk about politics, but this is a huge rise for concern.

      True, Geert can just go suck a big one. Lucky that there's enough people who understand that here tho

      I don't feel good about our country being the beacon of warning, but it is a victory if the same mistake isn't made elsewhere. Good luck.

      Women who voted for Trump: rape is now a pre-existing medical condition for which the victim will pay an insurance surcharge. Well played.

  10. So, here is a little something that I'm working on for a fun, little UE4 project that I'm doing for funzies with the Verdant Tales characters: Vaan Cresthart, Ariana Valeria, Mia Vance, Nero Cresthart, Reynard Maxwell, and Ninetales. However, the only 3 shown here are Vaan, Ariana, and Mia, because this little project will mostly only be using them for the time being XD The project in UE4 is something that I'm working on in collaboration with other UE4 devs to make a "what-if" game. The game is basically Symphonic Horizon in an alternate universe with the same world, same characters, but minus the Pokemon aspect of it, and taking on the likeness of the Tales games that I was originally trying to convey.
  11. Quick, everyone, send me cute stuff! I am in need of emergency cute!

  12. After a slight hiatus, I will be returning within the coming week! Sorry for the lack of content and whatnot. While I've been away I've been learning Unreal Engine 4, mostly for shits and giggles, but it's also so I can broaden my skills beyond RPG Maker XP, for my own personal hobbies.
  13. Proof that there is no God, and that Jesus died in vain. Like... fucking wow. Are you kidding me with this? I never knew that developers this shitty existed:

     

     

    1. DemICE

      DemICE

      Sounds like a plan.
      1) make a low budget game so shitty that will surely draw the attention of at least one caustic youtube reviewer.

      2) wait until they have a good enough amount of content on trashtalking your game like it deserves

      3) lawsuit, and profit more than you would if you had bothered making a decent game

       

       

      brb gonna go become rich

  14. This fucking slayed me:

     

     

    1. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      I mean, Sonic Riders was a pretty good game

    2. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      It was a good game. The first one at least. But the learning curve for that game was ridiculously high.

  15. I accidentally created a radioactive texture that breathes and it's texture shifts.

     

    IT'S ALIVE!!

     

    it_s_alive___by_dylanrockin2122-db7qjh2.

     

    I basically just multiplied the Texture Normals by the Cosine of Time and then Lerped the green and red together and then using Sine.

  16. Why the actual fuck is it snowing in May?

      It's currently Summer in America.

      I see. Well, that is rather bizarre. At least you have snow though, I'm kinda envious

      It means that someone's tampering with the continuity of time

  17. A message from me to you:

  18. Also, this has made my day:

     

     

  19. I'm thinking of doing a livestream where I do a huge A Hat in Time giveaway for free Beta Access and pre-order keys. That might be a few months from now, because money.

  20. I'm gonna make a small update by saying: I'm gonna take a small break from working on my game, due to finals being right around the corner and that I need to start studying hard for the upcoming exams that I have. However, I plan on doing a long livestream, around Monday of the coming week, so that way I can get a lot of progress done, while using most of my time for school and whatnot. Also, I feel that I am suffering a bit from burnout, but eh, who doesn't nowadays? Unless you're some kind of robot, then nevermind.
  21. Oh boy, here we go:

      ahhhh good old Sonic CD Intro with Sonic Boom... I have to play it again sometime... :D

  22. I don't know why I found this typo to be so damn funny XD Just saying that word makes my giggle.

  23. Oh, I wonder who this is... hmm... and don't say Vice as a kid XD
  24. Made this in Unreal Engine 4. So far... I'm impressed with the results:

     

    highresscreenshot00000_by_dylanrockin212

     

    I couldn't find a way to hide the on-screen icons, and when it takes screenshots it literally takes them with whatever it is you're currently highlighted over :L Oh well, I'm proud of what I made here. Need to add in a sliding door, into my office XD

  25. I started fiddling around with Unreal Engine 4 and so far I like it more than Unity. However, I do see where people compare the two by saying that UE4 has a really large learning curve, because C++ and Blueprints, also with the added fact that once you start selling your product you have to pay Epic Games 5% of your quarterly gross revenue per product after you make your first three grand. Which... isn't THAT big of a deal, given that UE4 is now free.

     

    Unreal’s documentation is stellar, very well written with great explanations and screenshots.  While Unity’s docs are also great, they have some room to improve. Also Unreal has Visual C++ Scripting which... my god is it the best thing ever. So far though, I've just been wanting to find a 3D program that I can just pick up and learn as time goes by, and this feels far superior to Unity it's not even funny. Albeit the learning curve is steep for people who don't know C++ or aren't familiar with euclidean space editors.
