First of all, 5000 subs?? I still can't believe it honestly. I never thought we'd reach that milestone but it happened and I have you all to thank for it so THANK YOU. So many of the kind and encouraging comments you all leave has genuinely kept me uploading for this long. There are times I think about skipping a week or two but the positivity and enthusiasm I see in the comments for RPG Maker/game dev always keeps me going. I'll keep this post on the shorter side so let's talk about what I've been working on.
I spent a lot of time learning Ruby to make custom scripts in RMVXA and I did just that! I have, at least what I think, is a really cool battle system that mixes idle game combat with RPG elements. However, I'm currently working on retooling that as I don't really like the exploration side of it. I want to lean more into typical idle game mechanics like the core fighting mechanic and ditch the exploration, kind of like it was in the tech demo. I'll post the current version on my itch.io page (I'll link at the bottom of the post) soon. I've also been learning to use Godot!
The next Maker engine, Action Game Maker, will be built off/around Godot so I'm currently in the process of learning everything I can about how to use it so I'm ready to make tutorials when AGM releases. On a related note, I'm still VERY early on in GODOT but if you all would be interested in seeing "Godot tips, tricks, and tutorials for beginners" in Shorts form or otherwise, let me know! I've already made a very simple one level brick breaker game that's available on my itch and my next project will be a Space Invaders type of game. After that I may look into doing more devlog and longer form tutorial content as I really miss doing those.
EDIT: I wanted to mention I've also switched over to Linux for various reasons and no longer use Capcut as my video editor. If video quality has been a bit different or strange recently, I apologize. I'm currently working through learning the new video editor and the videos should return to a normal, consistent quality soon.
That's it! Thanks for making it to the end. Truly, you all and the support you've given me has been nothing short of incredible and much appreciated. Good luck in your game dev journey and can't wait to see what you all make!
