If you're the kind of person who would find it fun to jump into an import RPG Maker title with no way of knowing what you're doing, then RPG Tsukuru DS is available for pre-order now at play-asia for $54.90.
I'll be passing for now. I'd love to own it, but that's a bit out of my price range for stuff I can't understand or ever hope to use. I'll grab it down the line. Hopefully in english.
Fair warning: we're almost at the end of the game. There's going to be some MAJOR spoilers starting here. If you haven't watched the earlier episodes, or haven't played the game yet, now's the time to do so. Preferably the latter.
Also, Valkysas posted some new Community News mere minutes before I got here. Front-page viewers, just scroll a little furthur down the page. (That MagCon and Pav rewards stuff seems especially important.)
LPisode #63: The Spiteful Dead - Unrest Game by Xisthruos
We make it through the capital square. But our accomplishment comes at a dire price, as we lose one of our friends. At least the cutscene was awesome.
This episode has been split into "mini-sodes" so you can watch what you want, when you want.
Here's Mini-Sode A, with the rest linked below it:
This was supposed to be posted last night, but I got a bad headache.
RPG Maker
Magcon is at the end of the month - Not going? You can still watch their viddler channel, and send in your RPGM projects for them to show off. Click the link for more info.
Rewards Program - You can now win stuff every six months for making games with RPG Maker
Upon Thus Rock - Chrysalon's new RPGM3 game is introduced and detailed.
Josh's Adventure - Again, 1ce throws out too many updates for me to summarize here. Go clicky the thing.
Esper's Quest - Alutra came back! And he's working on Esper's Quest again, and he posted a "History of Esper's Quest" topic too.
Survival 2 - MRevelle83 posted about some changes to stores and weapons in the game.
The Pavilion Project - Not being made with RPG Maker, but it's still a game being made by community members. This time, the only updates in the forum are in the "general ideas" thread.
A reminder - The submission period for the Monster Rancher Giveaway has extended to the 14th. Make stuff, send it in.
Starting Monday, the RPG Maker Pavilion is going to start a Rewards program. Every game submitted to the site (that isnt an update to a game already on the site) will get you a point. For every point you get, your name goes on a piece of paper. Every six months, these pieces of paper will be put in a box, and I will pick one randomly. The person whose name I draw gets a new game of their choice. Then I will remove all pieces of paper with the winner's name on them from the box, mix the papers up, and pull another name. This person will also get a game of their choice.
Every six months, two people who submitted games to the pavilion are going to win stuff. If by chance you manage to submit more than one game in a six month window, your odds go up. The only thing that won't get you points? Garbage games. They don't take long to make, and someone could easily churn out dozens of them in a 6 month window and ensure their chances at winning. Contest games will also get you points. And there is guaranteed to be a contest in each of these windows.
Drawings will be held on-camera. First drawing will be held June 30.
In order to participate, you will either need to be comfortable giving me your address to send the game to you. Failing that, you can still take part if you have Steam installed on your PC, or have a Wii, both of which have gift options for downloadable titles.
