I can never believe every time I look at this how easy would it be to fix this into a decent looking game. You would just have to turn down the hipster aesthetic, fuck, even changing the character designs into something that doesn't look like an awful self-insert would work.

My problem with most "meta" games is that when it comes down to it, the only winning move is to not play them at all. I think this is mostly because the games try to make you feel bad for playing them, despite the fact that it's the entire point of the medium. It is art that is best appreciated by not consuming it at all. Also I try to spoil myself as much as possible going in to games anyway because I give no shits about plot, it's the most worthless part of art.

Having said that, Bravely Default and especially Bravely Second make the best use of meta elements that I've seen in a while. What other game has the main character steal letters off the title screen to help beat the final boss, or has the Game of the Year edition of the prequel save one of the main characters.

If I were to make a meta game, it would probably be normal to start, but as further New Game +'s happen it would go from "you're a bad person for playing this", to "why are you still here", to existential dread, before the last NG+ is a two hour long FMV of me verbally shitting on everyone.

redpill me on rpgmaker; what's wrong with mv? I know next to nothing about it

VNs are for losers

I remember in Kotor 2 one of the main characters described how "one second I was standing around and the next we were killing someone".

You could also make a case for two of the main villains, one was a soulless korean xp farmer and the other was a cheats user.

Get the fuck out.

Nigger that's the correct fucking name for them, it isn't used only by Buzzfeedtropes.

God, what is not fucking wrong with that shitty program. But the reason why the project died was because no one wanted to fucking use it. It was ugly, had an unpleasant UI, every single thing fucked up after the switch and we kept trying to fix it, there was a gigantic break between one track playing and another appearing for some fucking reason and everything just looked and played worse than on VX Ace.

>>14740177

I swear one day I'll keep continuing that game's development, even just by myself

>>14742645

I might think about reviving the project, with the most recent VX version if you have it.

Being meta is what killed Superhot. Good game concept, shit and intrusive narrative that was totally up its own ass.

>>14742756

I wouldn't say it killed it, it just made it less enjoyable. The gameplay is still really fun but the story is shit, the game really starts once you finish the story mode, then you can play around with challenges and endless which are far more fun than the actual story mode.

It's kinda hard to explain without huge-ass spoilers, but in the simplest terms, the game starts with a tutorial that seems completely standard (barring the fact it ends with a little girl hanging herself) and at the very end of the game it is revealed it was actually a character in its own right.

That character being a malevolent entity haunting the mountain and preying on emotional distress, influencing its victims to commit suicide, hence the tutorial on how to move and shit resulting in death

The way it is revealed is that the starting tutorial repeats for the second character, except you can choose to disobey, whereupon the tutorial text goes all red and demonic.

The final boss has you going against orders given in the tutorial font

RPGmaker has basically been left unchanged for like a decade, and despite constant urges to fix the massive issues with room management.

Honestly you're better off with Gamemaker (Original the new release is fucked) and an RPG prefab engine. You'll have a much more stable end project, in addition you can have way more flexibility with what you can do.

Additionally, RPGmaker teased a timer for battles like FF but it never released.

And this was back in the PS2 era.

This shit is getting out of hand, are any of the alternatives ready for a proper user base? I know blazechan isn't ready yet and Meguca seems to be dead.

>>14743759

Nigger if I left 4chan in 2014 I can leave here as soon as something better appears

It's a problem we're faced with as a community, cuckchan rapefugees want to bring this place down to their level with low effort shitposting but we can't delete it without them screaming censorship. Yet if we allow it, they will turn this place into cuckchan.

It's a lot like what is facing western civilization.

>>14744327

What you do is delete it, and then also delete their tantrums afterwards.

I try to not jump around as much when I play this game, it just looks silly on the replay.

>>14744354

this

>>14752757

It was "a fuck you to people who thought story is important" that it took them five fucking writers to come up with.

>>14753027

>Five writers

How do you even do that?

>>14740152

Is that the actual music from the game
