RPG Unknown/Hiatus Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

The one question I keep coming back to is: Why RPGMaker? Someone will just decrypt your game, though I cant see any other options that would allow you to not have someone decrypt your game in all fairness. Not to be condescending here, but I use RPGMaker as a crutch because I do not posess much in the way of programming skills. Why not simply build an engine from the ground up?

All the time and effort that is being put into the models, I can appreciate that since my dabblings with DAZ studio are not that high quality. Why would you leave those assets so vulnerable with RPGMaker being so easily decrypted?

You can use Ruby's RVDATA compressor, which until this day I only have seen a couple of people being able to extract.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Oh, do tell? Because one of the things that is stopping me from releasing my game, is that I just dont want people to run about decrypting the game at will and using my scripts.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

most of the scripts in standard games are already made so i dont mind when people use mine (unless i made a cool mechanic XD)... the art/story is what shouldn't be copied anyway.

i did ask myself why isn't this game done in a better engine, but licensing isn't cheap i guess? my unity license was expensive as fuckk and if you can get it working as you originally intended to work then it's no problem.

is there any chance of a date for the first playable/prototype or simple testing?

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Hey everyone!

I've been out of town and without wi-fi, so I am just getting caught back up on things. Sorry if you messaged me and went awhile without a response!

For those that have no other payment option besides Paypal and would like to donate to the project...
I'm going to give the following a shot and see what happens. PM me an email I can reach you at (orrrr simply PM me and let me know that you want to donate via Paypal) and we can work out a reward arrangement (see the Patreon rewards for the campaign on the first post of this thread for reference). I haven't set up a Paypal yet for the project, but when I do I can send people the address. As with the Patreon contributors, I'll announce ahead of each content release via message or email so that you can donate in accordance to the reward that you would like.

We'll see how this goes for the first release and adjust accordingly from there!

Thanks for the generous pledge! It's much appreciated!

It's really a case of the project outgrowing the engine. I definitely expect to experiment with better engines for later projects! I've actually got a post talking about some of the work I've done to try to bring RPG Maker up to speed in the Patreon feed (increased resolution, custom anti-lag scripts, etc).

Ideally I'd like to release the first version toward the end of the year. I plan on it consisting of a playable map where the player can test out the battle system and H system mechanics with a couple of enemies and potentially a boss. This release will be for contributors (see the campaign page for details). I'll announce more details on the Patreon feed as it gets closer to the release!

Really tempting to donate, but I'm gonna play it safe and wait for a good demo. Don't want to waste money again on something that is overhyped *cough* simcity *cough*.

No worries, I definitely plan on releasing a public demo eventually. It will be past the first Patreon release at least, but probably beyond the second as I want the public demo to be a section from the story as well as have the content for that section fleshed out.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Hey guys!

A quick update: work continues steadily! I just wanted to show off this sample of the artwork PDF reward for the Patreon campaign that I started on a few nights ago. I'll be including story and commentaries that will develop as the project continues, as well as some extra artwork that won't be in the game.

The file size is too big for the full size version unfortunately =/.

Eromancer,

Just a suggestion, but you should put your Patreon link in your profile (and signature if that is not against the rules). Remember, always make things as easy on the end user as possible. We are lazy and usually don't go looking very far for donation links

Just sayin', oh, and the artwork looks great! Nice work.

Nope lol, it's just a random text generator commonly used for filling placeholder text blocks when designing graphics.
