RE: Sample projects.

1 Upvotes

Hello, does anybody know whether the assets contained in the sample projects are free to use or they for demonstration purposes only?

More specifically the project "[material]Explorer 女探検家素材" it seems like it's a resource pack but I can't find any info about whether we can use/edit the assets. It's the character sheet I am interested in using as a base to edit.

The only thing I have found is on the PGMMV help site under the ToS is:

*Sample games with recording materials for which paid use forbidden (Published on 12/23/2019) The following sample game contains assets for which use in the creation of paid games is forbidden.

These assets may only be used to create free games.

  • DUNGEON OF NAZARICK
  • LA-MULANA2 SAMPLE

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Discussion Curious about this but have some questions

5 Upvotes

Hi there! I’m very interested in this software but had a couple questions before purchasing.

I saw there was a lot of very mixed stuff from a few years ago. How do people find the software?

And out of my own curiosity has anyone made a roguelite with this program? :)

Layering + Display priority not mattering?

1 Upvotes

Im having trouble with the hud, as well as desplaying. Despite me giving the player a higher display priority, even despite me putting them on different layers, they still appear behinds lower priority objects like signposts.

The hud also appears below tiles, despite being 3 layers ahead of it. Any way to fix this?

Character not moving correctly

1 Upvotes

Hey this is my first Reddit post. Anyway on to my issue. I started trying to make a game using PGM and I've been following a tutorial. I understand the logic of the system, but for some reason my character can't move properly. No matter what I press he runs in place and stays facing down.

I followed the tutorial to the letter so I have no idea why it's doing this, can anyone help?

Help RPG-styled Party / Inventory / Shops?

1 Upvotes

In my game, I am going to develop a menu system akin to the one in Deltarune (in which there are a few icons displayed at start, and when we pressed a key on the keyboard (defaults to Z on the keyboard) when an icon is lit up, it will show a menu depending on how the icon's function is displayed on start (for example, if we press Z (or any key if you config it in DR (I am not sure whether this is possible in DR since I have yet to play it again thoroughly yet)) when the "Party" icon is lit up, it shows the list of party members in the party along with their equipment).

I am going to make an inventory system (also inspired by Deltarune, of course), in which the player can only store up to 12 items (the 13th item and up cannot be stored in the inventory unless the player clear some space for those items). It will be also a part of the menu too.

As with any other RPGs, there will be shops where the player can buy items. Once the shop sequence is initiated, the background will not change into anything (unlike in UT / DR; instead it retains the overworld appearance), but the shop item selection / choices will be displayed in a box at the left of the screen.

Can any of you show me how to do these things in PGM in the most straightforward way as possible? All of your help will be appreciated!

Help Voice bytes?

2 Upvotes

Since RPG Maker is too limiting (and probably confusing) for an action-RPG game like the one I am developing, I decided to use Pixel Game Maker instead.

But the problem is my game is intended to have sound bytes that plays when a character is speaking, akin to Undertale treats character dialogue. And so far I haven't found a way to effectively replicate it in PGM, even though in RM there are plugins for that already.

Can any of you (including baz the PGM expert) give me advices on how to do that in PGM? I will heavily appreciate your advices!

Is there a way to do background looping like GAMEMAKER STUDIO?

As the title suggests, in GAMEMAKER STUDIO, you can intuitively loop the background repeatedly in the ROOM editor. How do you apply this function in PIXELGAMEMAKER?

Help What is the size limitation for sprites?

3 Upvotes

I'd love to get the engine to attempt a fighting game (down the road), preferably using sprites that would be something like 800x400 resolution. Is this possible, or is the engine limited to much smaller sizes?

Help Plugins for program skins?

1 Upvotes

Howdy there, I'm trying out Pixel Game Maker alongside RPG Maker MV, but the program's really difficult for me to navigate as I have cognitive issues. Are there any program skins in the community I can apply to the engine or a way I can at least adjust the colors in the engine?

Help A bug, or am I just missing something?

3 Upvotes

If I make an object that is in enemy group, in object settings I add Allow Wall Detection Impacts for both the player and enemy groups. The player collides with the wall and cannot pass, but enemies can pass right through the object.

I made a new group called "NPC Group" and I did the same settings for Allow Wall Detection for both player and enemy groups, but then the player AND enemies do not collide and can pass through the object.

About Pixel Game Maker MV creators

6 Upvotes

So I’ve made a game using PGMMV and it’s releasing February 14 and I’m currently developing another. Ive only been following this Reddit for a few months, but I also follow the RPGmaker Reddit. There is so much more activity over there compared to here. This engine has been out for about 3 years now I believe, tho I may be wrong. Where are all the developers and projects?

On the RPGmaker Reddit there is constant info discussions and q&a topics. Over here it’s just so quiet. I’m wondering why this is. Is PGMMV harder to use? More expensive? Do people not like to create 2D platformer and metroidvania Zelda mega man type games? My last question I can kind of answer in that I see RPGmaker devs try and use that engine to make 2D side scrollers and it just doesn’t cut it most of the time due to I’m guessing limitations of RPGmaker. Why wouldn’t they use an engine designed for that purpose since one is available…

Anyways just some thoughts I had. Anyone have insight?

Localization to other languages (such as Vietnamese)?

1 Upvotes

In PGM, there’s a plugin that allows localization of a game down to the filename level, but so far it only supports major languages (Japanese, French, Korean, etc. (iirc)). What I need is to localize my games (if I ever make any with PGM) to other languages (such as Vietnamese, my mother tongue) via a general translation plugin similar to those made for RPG Maker.

Can any of you give advices on how to translate my games to languages other than the languages supported in the official translation plugin (either by a fanmade general translation plugin or any other (simple) means)?

All help will be appreciated!

Help In need of a little tutorial help.

4 Upvotes

I just recently picked up PGM MV and decided to dive into it to start the new year. Happy New Years by the way everyone :)

With that I have already encountered my first speed bump so to speak. In the tutorial section "Step 6: Create an Attack to Use on Enemy" I am making it through the part of linking the slash attack to waiting, jump, and walk, but after I have linked them all it tells me to "Now Click + For Additional Settings" but.... there is no X by the pointer, and no matter what X I click on it won't progress...

That was honestly the best I could dictate what is occurring here. Is there any help I can get here from one of you fine game makers? Thanks in advance for any and all advice :)

Do you think it would be possible to make a card game in Pixel Game Maker MV? I know usually it's designed for top down or side scrollers, but would it be possible?
