Slime Salad

I have to admit that I didn't pay much attention to NES games, and the few that I did play appear to be on the bad end of the graphical quality scale; some of those games look much better than I envisioned when I thought of the NES. Gradius II is another example, with a lot of large animations. Howe...

Changing the order of the colours that a sprite uses is very annoying, but don't forget about the colour Replace tool (R). Also I need to check if negative costs for attacks are working... The negative costs for attacks will be used, so the game can give tokens to the player. These Tokens can be use...

Hey, demo whatever is fun. I think both the Matrix theme and a fireworks display can look very NES-like. The main problem with the Matrix is perhaps that it didn't exist back then.

Creating just one demo is just not enough room to experiment!

I can only assume you're working on fireworks for the election, cause how's that more NES than the Matrix?

Run it after the equip menu. Yes, that means that you can't undo the player's action until they leave the menu, which isn't ideal.

It would be more correct to run the script after using the equip menu instead of before opening the inventory, in case the player doesn't go to the inventory immediately. Although reducing the inventory size doesn't delete anything past the end, you can't gain more items once it's full (they just di...

Well, you know, a scanline filter is not exactly hard to implement, so... But there's a near-infinite number variants of it. First I tried just dimming every second line to half, but that's a somewhat subtle effect (see first screenshot); I think your slice-based scanlines may have looked better. I ...

Hey, that actually looks really nice. I like that fact that you used all the OHR icons, and the fade in/out is neat. Not exactly the NES palette (hey, Willy didn't specify it), but actually it IS pretty retro, just imagine you're watching it on a CRT with long persistence. You could possibly even ad...

Specifically I meant the ability to run a script at the end of each game tick, right before the screen is drawn, rather than at the start before built-in game logic occurs. That's actually vital for heaps of different visual effects you might want to do, because at the start of the tick you don't kn...

If NPCs and heroes are on the same layer ("Walkabout layering: together"), and you're trying to control the layering of an NPC and hero, or hero/hero or npc/npc pair, then you can ONLY control the layering if they have the same y value, by using "move slice below" as you did. Wit...

Awesome, Fnrrf! Thanks for; when I have more time I'll add your screen shots to the wiki as well (and I should add any screenshots I can find for the other graphics packs too). We did have an existing tag, "resources", but I added "free graphics" too. Wow, Pheonix, those trees ar...

OK, after hammering out the plan a bit more I can say that Kylekrack is definitely in the clear for a tactical rpg.

(Yes, maunderingcabal reported teh harm tile bug in another thread) To avoid that bug either you need to keep the leader in the first party slot (and the next hero in the second, etc), or switch to a nightly build with the bugfix, or just wait for the next release of the engine. Actually, another ea...

One solution: run OHRRPGCE-Game.app and browse to the .rpg file. I've never used OS 10.12 either, but maybe they're greyed out because of the "Enable: Recommended Applications" option. Maybe those apps don't correctly declare that they can open .rpg files. But actually I can't even remembe...

Newbie Newtype was also working on a tactics game (unreleased) that was quite close to playable and looked really nice. And Sephy has released at least one (two, I think) tactical rpgs as tech demos. Yeah, one problem with adding demo modes to the games by using recorded input is that the recordings...
