...Yup!
That's right. Getting bored with the other forums I'm at, and since CP seems to be moving more towards more serious game dev than the other ones, I'm gonna try sticking around a bit so that I can maybe pick up some tips and tricks for my game/game engine that I've been wanting to make. I'm still considering game making a hobby for right now, as the field of work I wish to get in right now is Human Services, so pursuing that takes priority.

As some of you may or may not know, I had several suicide attempts last summer, and the last one (gonna be 1 year ago, come August 17) made me realize how damn selfish I was being. So now, on fewer meds and in 100% better spirits, I'm working on looking for a job, going to be moving into my own apartment, looking to get moving on getting my driver's license, and just loving life. Oh, and I broke up with my girlfriend roughly 2-3 months ago after I found out that A. she was a bitch, B. she had cheated on me, and C. she was trying to change who I was to fit her own needs.

It was a rocky relationship from the start, but I was too blinded by lies and deception to see that (which not only hurt emotionally, but financially as well...spent roughly $2,000 on her in the 4-5 months we were together ($300 of which went to a pre-engagement ring which she conned me into buying...)). Anywayssss...that's a basic summary of what's been going on since my activity dropped...who's still here, and what are you guys up to?

Hoping to stick around,

Hey guys (and gals),
I'm trying to spread the word about a series of online roleplaying game engines called First Star Online. Though similar to the RPG Makers we've all come to know and love, these engines take it one step further.

First Star Source (UnFunGames) - Unlike its name suggests, this source engine allows you to make your own ORPG with virtually no previous programming experience, and can provide endless fun for all. The only limits are the ones set by the imagination and your programming knowledge. The First Star game engines are programmed in Macromedia/Adobe Director with the Lingo programming language.

Return to Gaurdia (Temporary link) - Proof that with a bit of programming knowledge, and a dedicated team, one can create a successful ORPG. Built on the First Star Online 1 Engine, Return to Gaurdia is one of the most popular FSO servers left. With over 50 skills to train, Guild Wars, a Nation system, numerous events, and more, you're sure to have a good time making friends while having fun. 4 years after being released, RTG remains one of the best.

Gaurdia: Tactics (Temporary link) - Brought to you by the same people who brought you Return to Gaurdia, Gaurdia: Tactics is based off of the First Star Online Stratics Engine. As opposed to participating in real-time battles, you command a party of up to 5 hirelings and fight in turn-based battles which can earn you gold, items, and even equipments. Use your wits to conquer your battles in this 1 1/2 year-old game as you quest across a vast 2D world waging battles against player and monster alike.

Hope to see you there.

Hey all,
I was wondering if any of you have heard of this game. I've been playing it for the past few months, and I must say, it's quite a great game

They have frequent events, such as Monster Spawns, Double Experience Days, Double Drop Days, and more. They also have a unique sprite crafting system through which you can get special equipment and materials. In addition, they have an Item Mall through which you can pay real money to buy cool stuff for yourself or your sprites.

I give this game 5/5

Hey all,
As the title implies, how do I go about removing the Steps window? With Blizz ABS, it doesn't seem to work, so I don't see a point in keeping it. I've tried removing the following lines from Scene_Menu, but when I did, it just left a black box:

# Make steps window
    @steps_window = Window_Steps.new
    @steps_window.x = 0
    @steps_window.y = 320
...
    @steps_window.update

I want to remove the Steps window, or at least configure it to work with Blizz ABS, but I don't want a giant gap left behind...Please help.

Hey all,
I know this may seem like a stupid question, but how do I make it so the player can choose their own character from a list of actors? I'm pretty sure it's possible...just not sure how...Any help would be appreciated

Hey all,
I'm looking for someone who might be able to make me an Earth Worm Characterset. I already have a battler sprite for it, but it did not come with a characterset...Could somebody please make me a character set to go with

This Battler: ShowHide

I do not have much to offer, other than credit for the character set, and my undying gratitude
Thanks,

Hey,
I started browsing this site within the past few days, looking for new resources and scripts for RMXP. I must say, there is quite a wide range of things here. Anyway, I've recently (within the past 2-3 months) started using RMXP, and have been looking for new scripts/resources for a small game I'm making called "The Coming Storm". I don't know any scripting for RMXP (or any sort of game for that matter), but am always willing to learn. If you think you can help me with this, or anything else RMXP related, please either add me to MSN ( J_Papelbon2009@hotmail.com ), AIM ( peopleeater08 ), or on Facebook. Also, if you have any tutorials that might help me, could you please post a link here?
Thanks,
~Steven a.k.a. ShinyToyGuns~
