(i coulda used terrain tags but i felt it'd get annoying with the interfacing of the different subareas, and with the way i'm doing the special slime spawns it's not a big deal to jsut have 9 parent events (central plains + 8 biomes)

you may be wondering why the regions aren't for biomes. i'm instead using them to call up the right number of slimes! encounters have up to 12 slimes as you get further from the center town. i have a slightly different parent event for each subarea that pulls the right slime troops.

alright, got the FPS kinda in check and did some fuckery with visustella's <JS> and <Self> switches/variables to make the random spawns work like i wanted. (all the slimes are using parent events on another map, they're not just copy-paste event batches lol)

An RPG world map with a variety of biomes surrounding a central field. Hundreds of blue slime sprites cover any walkable space. A few slimes are instead green, white with a halo, or deep purple with devil wings wings.

not really much of a #screenshotsaturday but hey, look at pretty region tag rainbow

why do all of my rpgs just become "what if you were on a game board"? we may never know. all i know is that you will be killing so many slimes.

A diamond-shaped RPG world map. In the center is a small town with watchtowers at its corners. The town is on a large plain. Many biomes surround the plain, going clockwise from the north: arctic snow, an autumnal valley, a forest with a river, some marshes, a large desert or beach, some steppes, a brown mountain region with pops of green coniferous trees, and finally a grey and red volcanic area.

The same map as before, but overlaid with colored tags expanding out from the town. They start at 1 in the center and increase to 12 at the extremities. Each number moves across the color spectrum, starting at red.

A digital simulation of a work and weathered two color relief print on toned paper. A black goat with big horns curving back in a somewhat exaggerated running or prancing pose is turning his head to look back over his shoulder. There is a pole topped with a small inverted cross crooked in one of his front legs and attached to the pole, streaming over the goat, is a red banner bearing some crusty looking blackletter script reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’

while i am not going to argue its uhh transcendental, theres just something genuinely cool about taking a world and cast of characters through ten games that we just dont see much anymore outside of like, the Trails series

i will argue that the sense of oppression in 6 (Fall of Zeth) is unmatched

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

I've tweaked encounter rates, fixed some spells, and explained the timer a bit better, among other things. No new content, just some updates ~

AAA pricing got you down? Why not play a free (updated!) game to piss you off instead:

LONG ROAD TO HECK, a globe-trotting RPG with 20 dungeons to conquer and tons of loot to collect!

The catch? You only have 60 minutes to reach level 99 and defeat the dark lord.

An side-view RPG battle screen. A witch, ceric, and rogue are facing off against some sea monsters and robots. The rogue is casting an area electric spell called Electrostatic I, zapping all of the enemies.

A top-down RPG dungeon featuring an icy lake and many blue crystals. The player character is opening a chest. The pop-up states that they have just obtained a Silver Missile, with an icon of a missile present.

A top-down RPG world map. The player character is crossing a bridge in the center of the snowy screen. To their south is a cherry blossom forest and a very large tree. To their north is a mountainous arctic region. There's a broken-down castle and a pink airship in front of it.

An side-view RPG battle screen. A witch, knight, and rogue are facing off against a titan on an autumn field. The titan is casting Deep Ravine II, causing a large earthquake effect to fill and shake the screen.

Your cost of living and health insurance skyrocketing is the reason you can no longer afford AAA video games the day they come out, not the price of the games themselves.

i really don't get why there's much RNG at all to turn orders (i mean i kinda get it, but)

the game has tools to adjust it (different 'weights' for hand/head/feet/accessory equips) so it feels like they hsould work a bit better lol? i think they do in later games but don't quote me on that
