A few months ago I uploaded some videos for my older projects. Replaying them brought back lots of memories! I started with 'Five Nights: Aerscam Mansion' (2017), a FNAF-inspired game. Back in those years, I remember spending hours... youtu.be/xUiF2atNi5o #rpgmaker #indiedev #gamedev #aerscam

There's nothing she detests more than arrogance. #rpgmaker #indiedev #gamedev #tofindananswer

Screenshot from 'To Find an Answer'. In front of her house during a cloudy day, Gerlinde Faucher, healer from Arbor, is arguing with soldier Ivarr Kempe. She says to him:

"What can I say then. At that pace,
you'll end up fainting, 'Mr. Kempe'."

Fun fact: The game version of The Pitied only covers 17 chapters from the original script. These are the middle chapters with the end of the game being the halfway point of the story. There are 54 chapters, which means 37 chapters are still a secret. 👀 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #RPGMaker #JRPG

Using just two Yanfly plugins, I'm able to add closed captions for cutscene sound effects as an option for players who are hard of hearing (or if you have the sound off for whatever reason). It's super easy to do so let me know if anyone wants a tutorial! #rpgmaker #gamedev
