Jc's fourth stint in rehab lol

I'd go Xenforo personally.

Jc's only friends are Riven and Shyvana. lol <3

@Azkanan makes a fantastic point, and I think I'll try to reinforce it. Peeps, little Sue Sally down the block has ideas. During my brief and inexperienced pursuit of game development for a living (ongoing lol) I've run into plenty of people that want to make games, but simply have no required skills to do so. This would be fine, however, if they were just open to trying to attain those skills. I started out as a simple writer and musician in game dev. It took me a while, but after a few years of hobby programming I've grown rather proficient at it. Never read a book, never took a class. Dedication got me to where I am and if I had to pick a trait in which to possess to pursue games as a living, or even a hobby, dedication would be it. Anywho, if you're the idea guy and you want to create a game, show some dedication and read some pointers on programming, artwork, or good storybuilding.

Well of course a writer's opinion seeps through. I just think it's silly to automatically assume it's all programming to make you think a certain way. If you don't let it affect you, it won't.

On the contrary, Merlin is a fantastic show. Anybody who takes it seriously enough to think it's subliminal programming should probably stay off media of the visual variety.

I don't think it matters what brand of condom you have man...

I mean if you're a dude and love BBC you're usually gonna be paying out your ass for it...

Holy shit. This is nearly revolutionary. Reminds me of a cross between Mushroom Men and Oddworld. Can't wait to play it man! Keep up the good work!

The way I handled it (because stats in Skywardens don't have the typical 255 cap) at 300 Agility you'll have about 35% crit rate. any stats past that grant minute but noticeable gains in crit rate. At 30000 agility (far higher than any player is ever going to reach) you'd have 100% crit rate. So any points past 300 grant noticeably smaller scales of crit rate, but not so small as to turn the player off to investing in Agility for Crit based rewards.

Some good shit man. I could easily see this in a game like Divinity: The Original Sin. I'd look into some voice acting studio's around your residence and see if you could do anything there. I took a few classes with a teacher who voiced some major characters in Mass Effect and Dragon Age etc. He got some pretty decent scratch for it too.

Hey glad to hear it man! In other news, before I post about this week's upcoming Content Update, all players in the top ten ranking numbers (press R in-game to check this top ten) will be receiving a Founder's Giftbox and 5 Drachma at the end of the week (on Saturday). The Giftbox contains an assortment of exclusive items only available through these founder's boxes, but you'll only get one of them as it's a random pick of the assortment. You can also purchase these Giftboxes in Ursa Village for 5 Drachma. (Drachma are a rare currency drop). Hope to see some of you fighting for those top ten spots! Good luck everyone!

Glad you enjoy my work, mate In other news, soon I'll be posting news on the first week's Content Update.

A big thanks to our players so far who have helped me fix any mistakes thus far! Seriously you guys are the best I'm currently uploading a new installer that includes the runtimes as well. (totally forgot about it when I was initially packaging the game). That should be up in a bit. Again, thanks to everyone who has played and helped me out

Yep! Free all the way! I was led to believe (by my apparent imbecile of a social teacher) that if you were taking donations that the donations were to your IP, not the assets. Just in case though, I HAVE taken down the donation link. I will be accepting no donations save people contributing to a wiki someday perhaps.

Haha, game creation is my passion man xD Though this is probably the last one I'll make or be working on until I finish Dawn haha. As an added thought, launch is actually going really really well. I'm gone for a few hours but damn do I like the player base so far haha.

Well, as mentioned before, Skywardens is also a free non-commercial project and is no longer asking for donations. My first goal is to provide a fun experience to anyone that checks it out. I ain't trying to make bank on this xD. Regardless, I welcome the critique and the legal advice. Thanks

Oh I'm quite aware of the stigma. If there were another graphics library that held everything I needed I would use it over RMXP graphics instantly. Enterbrain is credited for all graphics not made by me or commissioned. If it ever came to a lawsuit, I'm sure me taking down the game would service them enough. I mean, look at Crystalshire. It was up for a good few YEARS and it was running RMVX graphics while the software was still new. I'm sure I'll be fine, and if not, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Just means people wouldn't be able to experience what I believe to be my best Eclipse based game. (also my last one).

Ah, noted. The donation button has been taken down. I would find it seriously silly if the decided to take it down or even pursue legal action, however, seeing as there are projects under full release (some even selling) using RM graphics that have far more publicity than this one. And yeah just in case it wasn't clear, Skywardens is and always shall be completely free.

Skywardens is an ORPG that aims to bring Exploration and Adventure back to the forefront of the genre. I've created this game using my personal copy of Eclipse and it's packing some pretty impressive features such as mounts, a talent tree system, visual item drop, stealth, terrain, and much much more. I hope you enjoy and if you have any issues or feedback, just let me know here! Setting Oh, did I forget to mention that the game is playable as I type this out? Come on down and try it with us! Download Screenshots A super big thanks to Benjo for hosting our server!

As my lovely AGD'ers have already pointed out, I'm creating a video tutorial series for precisely this reason. They've already linked it

I have one for myself for old Eclipse. I'll be able to make a new one based off what I learned on the first one once the source code is released

I play Overwatch PC. Placed Plat and now sinking/climbing depending on what type of team I get.
