I am at my wits end with this game...


And I’m not saying this lightly. I have been banging my head aginst the wall over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over with script related bugs in this game, primarily…

Its combat system.

I have taken great strides to make the combat sprites be more than 32 pixel shitstains. Even going as far as hireing a scripter to rewrite part of a new combat system I’m using…

Now the scripter has told me that they are no longer working on RPG Maker VX Ace scripting anymore since MV has come out, despite the fact that THEY created serveral bugs despite making it possible for 64 pixel sprites to be usable in mog’s combat system.

These bugs are critical, I am unable to event inside combat without a crash, the player can’t run without a crash, and that’s not including the fact that several of the sprite animations have stopped working properly during combat due to this.

So, unless I get a scripter whose willing to fix these issues and work with me on this,

I’m left with two choices:

One: Cancel the game.

Or two: Reverse FOUR+ MONTHS WORTH OF WORK AND MONEY and go back to the old combat system.

I’m ready to assume the majority of you want me to go with option 2 but its not so simple.

This combat system was in my original game design, I hunted all over the net for a combat system that allowed true ATB AND the use of dual character skills as it is meant to be an intrigrate part of the combat system.

To reverse this work is basically saying: “Yeah, you see my vision here?” <tosses into trashcan>.

Not to meation the shitton of bugs that will fly up from transfering the game back to the old combat system. This will mean MORE WORK for me and me ALONE since I’m the only damned person working on this game. And it won’t be the fun kind either, i’ll have to comb through the entire database and shit and remove everything to do with this combat system and this isn’t including the event related bugs that will occur.

I have invested so much time and REAL MONEY into this game to make my vision become a reality for you all to have fun and enjoy but its quickly losing its fun in making it when things like this that are completely out of my control due to my lack of coding knowledge, I’m waiting for MONTHS ON END for resources, and a core part of my game is as buggy as a NES game made by LJM.

Suffice to say, if things don’t change by the end of next spring, this game really will be canceled.

I’ve been working on this game for nearly 3 years now. I’m a tolerant and patient woman but I can only handle so much.

If you don’t want to see this game end, NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.

No, I’m not talking about money. I’m talking about contacting artists, scripters, people who want to help make this game a reality and having them contact me. I am in dire need of a scripter who isn’t afraid to tackle a hard project at the present time.

If you or anyone you know has the skill to help make this game a reality.
