Ah, okay. That's not too pricey, haha.

There are only 150 unique abilities, so all characters share some abilities (And there are several that all characters share.) And I have seriously considered trimming the number of abilities back to 35. Which I probably will as it seems more reasonable.

I guess that I should rephrase that. It's still stooped in the RPG formula. Instead it has a few systems that I don't think would work in RPG maker, and I don't have enough money for it at the moment. So there's that too... Foremost is the way that Weapons work in this game. While most of the characters have weapons that work like normal, but the protagonist has a wepon called the Shadowreaver, which has a different system where it can be upgraded and customized, and it levels up like the main character. In addition it has it's own skill tree. That said all the characters have a customizable skill tree with 60 abilities and each level that they gain they gain a skill point that they can use to customize their stats or gain a new skill. While I don't think that either of these things are particularly difficult to make, I don't think that I could implement them in RPG maker.

Then again maybe it's more flexible then I'm giving it credit for. But it still isn't available to me at the moment.

I see. How much do they cost, though?

I'm using Georgia and Tahoma. =)

It's an RPG. Now, before anybody mentions it I'm not using RPG Maker because this game is a rather major step away from the standard RPG formula and requires something a bit more flexible because of that.

Oh, okay. Have you found anything?

Good. I'm hoping that you're familiar with GML, but if you aren't then it's very easy to learn.

Plus, if you can handle the scripting that will make my life so much easier and will help split the work load 50/50. I don't want to ask that much of you though.

Oh yeah, you should add me on Skype so we can talk about this on there.

I might change it now because I don't want people thinking that it's pedo bear. :p

I'd be haha.

No he doesn't. :( Rilakkuma is not a pedo bear. :(

I plan on making it in Game Maker which has it's own Proprietary programming language called GML. It's a very simple programming language since it's geared toward making games, though you'll still have to learn it if you're going to do any coding in it.

But if you prefer I could switch over to a different game engine that supports other programming languages which wouldn't be a problem at all at this point.

Great!So I'm geussing that you will be able to handle the programming, and I can handle the Mapping, Art, and Writing, correct?

Wait, you mean you'll actually help me make my game?!?

You don't know just how much that means to me.

I'm honestly not one to ask for help. Not because I feel like I don't need help, because I know that I do, but because I don't feel comfortable asking other people to help me. Particularly over the internet. This is mainly because of me being a very shy person.

Yeah, and that's why I'm using an engine that requires almost no coding, an 8-bit art style that allows me to make more of the games art with minimal effort, the story and writing... Well I can't cut any corners there. And I've got someone else working on the music.

But it isn't like I want to work on this on my own. I simply have to. Really, I would accept any help offered to me in a heartbeat.

Yeah, but this time I made sure that it's small enough that I can make it myself.

Wow that really is a miracle. :p

Noooo! It's Rilakkuma. :(

It's yet another one. And before you say anything I actually started rethinking the whole Video Games thing, and I decided that if I was going to make video games at all that I was going to have to decide on exactly what I was going to make, then I was going to have to take a much more organized approach to making the games. And if I made a game I would have to stick with it. That said the game I was previously working on was a mess, so i decided to make a new one and this time FREAKING STICK WITH IT. I actually made a lot of progress on it too.

Kinda meh really. I've been very sick lately, but today I just have a cough, so I guess the medicine's been working. That aside though, I've been working on a video game lately. One that I'm sure that I can create this time.

What happened? :o

Pretty cool beans! :D I mean, I'VE GOT SHORT HAAAAAAAAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR <33333

You know Haruhi Suzumiya?

I'VE GOT THAT LENGTH 8D

Oh yeah, I'm going to lunch to have a massive pie and meet my auntie and see her UGLY fiance. >:( he's fat and slimy and she's skinny and BEAUTIFUL

How about youuuuuuuuuuuuuu? ;)

By the way, no electricity all January. xD Maintenanceeeeee :(
