Thank you very much! <3 You are completely correct about that! Even though I want to work on it right now, I'm not about to touch it while stressed, exhausted and frustrated. Art deserves to be treated with respect and created when one's mind is clear~

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

This post is probably going to be seen as pointless by everyone, but: I have no idea when I will be able to work on my game. Nothing is going right. I'll post again if and when something works in my favor.

I like crafting items, world-building key items and things that will be used later.

You're welcome~! 8D Thank you as well! They are, I've just got three - four more to go and then I'll be working on writing by next week at the latest ^.^

Try to make something that you want to play~ 8D It doesn't have to be anything groundbreaking, or incredibly shiny, as long as it's your game that you put time and effort into making- that effort will be something that people can easily see!

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

The devs did one hell of a good job- that is very nice-looking! But you don't have to worry about making anything like that~ Instead of trying to figure out how other devs did something, or trying to figure out how to copy something you see in any other game, with RPG Maker, it's more important to

Your day/night system looks outstanding~! 🖤 I've been working on the last maps needed for Omnia's introduction; unfortunately, I cannot share them. But~ I can show off the inn (and upstairs bakery) in the town of Coniston, at least!

BS like that is one of the reasons I'm glad I don't use Discord or any other chat program. I don't see how trying to post your resources is considered self-promotion!

HAHA sometimes, not even a week! Take a weekend off and the most rabid people will start assuming it's been abandoned, or something happened to you! It's not like a dev has other things going on, or might need to sleep, eat, or just fuck around, after all! We're cyborgs, not people, you know? :P

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Not to mention, people who have never tried to make a game are always wondering why a decent one can't just be summoned into existence within weeks. I can't count the number of times I've either read other people being asked, "What's taking so long?" or have been asked that same question myself.

I like the color palette you used here; it makes everything look dreamlike. Nicely done!

Especially if they're making free games for whatever reason. BUT~! For the ones who have made enough money that they can afford to commission extra things, it would probably be a good idea! I could see a lot of people being interested in something of the sort.

010

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Basically, it kind of sounds like Xenogears' "Perfect Works" book. Which is not a bad idea, but the thing is: some artists can be very expensive and not a lot of RPG Maker developers have enough extra money to commission artists for things like what you're describing. (Continued)

I keep chat turned off here because I'm just not a fan of chatting via messengers and the like. But I hope that guy's just a one-off asshole, despite how strangely funny and unhinged what they said was.

010

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

I am completely with you here. AI has no place in game development at all. I don't care what excuses anyone might try to come up with, I hate AI-generated garbage and don't understand why people try to defend the shit.

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

Unfortunately, there will be that one asshole somewhere, no matter where you post. Sometimes, it's funny, other times, it's baffling. I hope they don't end up harassing you too much and it was just a random act of assholishess.

The RPGMakerWeb forums are a good starting point for all of the RPG Maker engines, though and there is a wiki that has links to different tutorials and resources on other sites as well. The big thing though, is to not get discouraged when you're learning, since some things can be confusing at first

000

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

research things that aren't readily available on one site, since there are a multitude of sites with tutorials on them for many things. It's just time consuming when you're starting out, but if you're persistent and dedicated, it won't take long to learn what you need to. ^.^

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

do the same thing. Depending on what you want to do, you might need to modify the script or plugin yourself, or use multiple and tweak them, until you've got what you want to use :) The RPG Maker engine series are not at all difficult to learn, but you have to be willing to put some time in to -

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

seconds to set that up :) Combat is a different beast entirely. For instance: are you using front-view or side-view? What RPG Maker are you using? There are a ton of scripts (for older RPG Maker engines) that alter combat substantially. For newer ones that use side-view, there are many plugins that

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

Have their differences, even if said differences are subtle. Having party members added and removed is as simple as learning how to make an event that changes the party, adding that character and using a self-switch to delete that event after said character is added. Honestly, it only takes like 30

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

This is going to be a multi-post reply. Firstly, what you can do with RPG Maker depends on what kind of game you want to make and what version of RPG Maker you are using, since there are rather large differences between each version of the engine; even the complimentary ones, like VX/VXA and MV/Z -

By "not games" and "unplayable" I'm not talking about using the RTP, they could not be played, because they were full of bugs and glitches, constantly crashing and had numerous other issues that made them impossible for anyone to play. RPG Maker history is both interesting and frustrating.

110

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Unfortunately, it's something we've all got to deal with because of what happened in the past- and all we can do is continually prove people who say that shit wrong.

110

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

With games that weren't games at all, honestly, since they couldn't be played. And they all relied on the RTP, which gave it a bad name. That reputation began back when Don Miguel first hacked and pirated RM95 and unfortunately, it stuck for decades and doesn't seem to be going away.

110

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

OH! Haha, yeah, I know where and when calling RPG Maker games lazy started and that isn't going to end any time soon, unfortunately. It's because people used to cobble together truly bad games that weren't even playable for -years.- Steam, Itch, the RPG Maker forums and other sites were flooded--

110

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Yeah, haha, this is kinda long-winded, but yep, I am bringing that up because I've seen bad communication and what looks like misinterpretation happening on both ends. It would be great if it would stop!

000

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Improperly at all, because you're -not- but I don't get it at all. There's a weird division and miscomunication between new and old RPG Maker devs that's just kind of baffling right now. I'm not even sure where it began, but it makes no sense to me.

200

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

I don't necessarily -mind- people being beginners, since everyone has to start somewhere and discouraging them isn't fair. But I do mind it when those beginners throw words like "gatekeeping" around when they're offered any sort of advice or criticism. I'm not accusing you at all of using the word-

100

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

It really is- and it looks like you're using Ace, which is my favorite engine by far! That's not a bad start to a town map, either; it does have promise!

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

I miss McDonalds, especially their pies and iced coffee. The only fast food place we've got here is Sonic (which is decent in most towns, but not here) and I don't know how this one can fuck up a simple hamburger to the point a dog won't eat it.

RPG Maker is a ton of fun to use~ If you can come up with even just a basic premise, you can flesh your idea out as you go! One of the great things about game development is you don't have to plot out every single aspect of what you want to do in advance and you can change things, if needed.

010

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

I don't understand it, but some people apparently have no idea what it means to have a hobby, or that people do things just because they enjoy them. You don't have to have a massive following or anything to like doing something and anyone who doesn't understand that is just an ass.

Nerio @omnia-developer.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

It's a lot of fun, so, why not? :)
