Roguesoft RPG Engine?

Using a graphic editing application like Photoshop, you can copy and paste the tiles from the sprite sheet into new documents and design your own rooms.

Oh I get it, thanks.

Just thought I'd post a link to the up-to-date working progress of the Roguesoft RPG Engine:

I was re-familiarising myself with its structure last week and got around to implementing a much needed feature: dialogue routines now automatically pause the game until the player presses spacebar, preventing them from disappearing almost immediately if an NPC's action prompts another dialogue to generate.

Here's a link to the up-to-date (yet still very much incomplete) map editor as well:

I wish GM was not an obsolete program. I wish it worked on lion, and the games could be for PC. Because then I could actually keep making games, rather than being a lazy person who does nothing.

Pretty epic. Do I spot some new awesome underground tiles and characters?

RSRPGE is looking pretty rad too. How exactly does the PBT system work?

i posted with a link to the Percentile System thread in which the fourth(i think?) post has a whole video tutorial that pretty much reiterates the explanation but in a way that's easier to understand. You'll need to understand 5th grade math skills though.

PS: If making rooms involves pasting into Photoshop to go with the grid couldn't you outline where things go and draw unique pictures for every room?

Silverwind, your games inspire me. I hadn't tried this before, because I didn't want to wish again that GM was back in its prime. You make GM look like professional software. This engine looks and sounds great. Music is wonderful, and sprites are the best I've ever seen in a GM game.

And I can't play the game ;A;

Do you? I honestly can't remember The underground textures were taking the longest when I was working on them.

Was the above link helpful or will I explain in detail?

Yup. I once started a chalkboard universe game where the grid maps for every room were going to be hand drawn

Thank you! That's extremely encouraging. I still love GM and I've never found a app better suited for the level of game developing I do, I just don't have the time these days. One day though...

I think I'm starting to understand this percentile based system but it'll require more research.

One day.

I've been noticing more and more that sometimes with these programs it's not the tool, but how you use it.

[Zoo]

yup...

While making Winterban, I found "hand-drawing" maps using a graphics editor to be extremely painstaking and not much fun.  That's why I like SilverCreator's unlimited sprites, so I can generate the map on the fly.

[Gan]

Yeah I feel the same way.
I like using Map editors.

Wowzers, just reread the whole topic. We really had a great thing going some years back. Look how inspired and immersed we were in making our ideas a practical reality. It's so lovely to see, and I wish I had more time for it now. I'm very tempted to start making a game with my old tiles too, as I find working on the new set while making a game with them drains motivation.
