Dragon Warrior is a favorite of mine, too! The most life-changing one for me would probably be DQ4; it's the biggest influence on the game I'm making now.

Hello again! I am still looking for either full-time or contract work. I've been working in games for close to 15 years now and have done just about every role you can do on the 2D art side of things including UI, implementation, art directing and team management (and I actually love it all).

Understandable. My character sprites are always-stepping two-framers like old-school Dragon Quest characters. It's easier to make more variations that way. :)

Three days left to get our pack of 13,000 human-made game dev assets for just $10! Every sale helps us to keep making more sprites, sounds and fonts in future: ci.itch.io/all-game-ass...

The trade offer meme, on the left it says I receive $10, food, bills paid. On the right it says you receive 13,000 hand-made game assets.

The game has just spawned its very first lava cave, and brave Jocho is exploring it. What do you think his quest here might be?

Screenshot of Stories from Danger's Den, an 8-bit-style RPG with a top-down view. A soldier in red armor is standing in a large cavern with a floor of gray volcanic ash. To his east and west are large pools of glowing lava. To the north is a wall of basalt, and to the south, a pillar of basalt with paths around both its east and its west side. The game's menu is open, so we can see that Jocho is level 3 and has 31 out of 45 hit points and no magic points. He has 103 gold.

rpgmaker definitely isn't the right tool for everyone, but I think using opinionated pre-baked tools to make some games would be very instructive to a lot of folks setting out to make their epic custom dream game. they're a much lower-stakes way to learn important lessons like "how to tell a story"

Here's a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of castle room templates that will be used in random castle generation. I'm preparing the smallest room styles first and going up from there.

Screenshot of RPG Maker's map editor, which is opened to a map called "Castle Rooms - Small". The map contains a variety of castle rooms: common areas, shops, libraries, inns, guard posts, and stairwells. The rooms are separated by 1-tile-wide bands of empty space.

A curious settlement that spawned a week ago: a single house, surrounded by a full set of city walls. Though it originated because of a bug I've since fixed, it's given me a design idea.

Screenshot of Stories from Danger's Den, an 8-bit-style game with a top-down view. A house is surrounded by city walls, which are surrounded by a forest. The house has warm gray cobblestone walls, red-brown flagstone floors, and three beds. Three townspeople wander around inside. A guard patrols the courtyard outside the house but inside the city walls. Two adventurers walk atop the city walls.

Finding the animal "Lighthorse", which looks like a lighthouse with legs, and a head made out of transparent cones of light.
"Stands at the coastline to act as a beacon, however it has difficulty discerning a puddle from an ocean. said to be proud of its red stripes."

Inside the spaceship, the character Turbine, who is green and has buck teeth, is saying "They say if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. Seems I may be the only worker here."

Last week was my first week back at Stories from Danger's Den development after months on hold. I got watchtowers spawning into the worlds. These small structures have guards who give advice and directions. Sometimes they have an armory, too. #IndieGame #RetroGame #RPG
