lol. I sort of had the same thought. I'll probably thin out the drops just a little bit. And for the second part, that's already a planned change actually, affecting all end-of-turn effects. Believe me, I'm as annoyed by those tedious messages as y'all. Since I'm going to be doing these for a while (at least a month), and the difference in percentage is rather miniscule, I added a count to the status thread topic title to make progress more apparent. The number listed is how many animations are yet to be done, so when it reaches 0 I can move on.

Probably not in the animation itself, but now that I think about it should be easy to replace the symbol that appear on the battle HUD for Pulses... Mm, maybe. Might cause issues if a player Mega-Evolved during a battle with a PULSE. I'll look into it. Yep. Remember, Strong Winds applies to battles on windy days in Reborn; not just from Rayquaza They all have sounds. I don't think there will be any animations that don't. So, with this all of the "common" (read: not directly related to moves) animations are done, and I can start on the moves themselves. 214 to go for E16..... :s

Suze has allowed us to borrow code in the past. Nonetheless, we would have to see how involved it is. Rest assured if it's practical I'm very interested in it personally because even I get tired of how long things take sometimes. Granted the text skip feature already implemented in E16 will help too.

Weathers today. Did you know that we've actually had a rain animation the entire time? A lot of people don't, because the animation frame on the old one was literally one pixel wide. It was nearly invisible even when you were looking for it. :I Anyway, these should all be fairly clear.

He was. I couldn't resist. Of course, only his name is really notable in that point. Run-down here. (And let me tell you, I can't wait. Some of the aces are already seeing preliminary character designs from it and I'm really so excitedddd)

I'll Tl;dr it. I liked anime pretty much since I first saw Sailor Moon when I was six. But once my friend introduced me to Rozen Maiden, it was all over for me. That show single-handedly defined-- or perhaps rather helped me find-- my sense of aesthetics and personality so much that it is entirely impossible for me to imagine how different I would be without it. Similarly, so much of my life has been irrevocably influenced by anime as a whole that it's not even worth looking at what parts of it haven't been. Nonetheless, Rozen Maiden is the veritable centrepiece for all of that.

As a new member, I should inform you of how our warning point system works. As users violate the rules, they stack up warning points over time. Once a certain number of points are obtained, an action is taken against the user. For instance, 3 points removes ace status, 5 points triggers a mandatory moderator check on posts, and at 10 points the user is banned from the community. Unfortunately, I can't talk about the actions past 20 points because they're not entirely legal in some countries. Anyway, hitting on Hilda is worth 150 warning points. ^^ Screw Yuki. This Yuno is taking Ninth as her waifu. (But if I had to choose a boy I'd be right there on the Juuzou train too)

Found the work-around. It varies significantly between animations. It's also still hard for me to say because I'm learning the editor and how to get around these issues, but I think as a rough estimate I can safely say about half-an-hour per animation on average if all goes well. Simpler ones like tackle may only take a few minutes. More complicated ones like Mega, take.... several hours, perhaps. More if the graphics need to be created in the first place.

.......look, some weird stuff happens in testing, okay? It would but I can't change the sprite until the animation ends, and if the animation ends with the target Pokemon invisible it uhh... stays invisible until something makes it not. (See: Aerial Ace glitch)

So I've had a fairly rough week. Aside from the site being taken down, I've been brick-walled on the animations because of some technical issues (i.e certain features seemed to work fine in the editor, but in the actual game they wouldn't) and it took me for bloody ever to figure out the work-around. But I eventually did. As such, here's a new Mega Evolution animation...

HostGator was our old server host. It has a strong reputation as one of the leading host companies on the net. Unfortunately we did not find its reputation founded, and we had a lot of outages leading to frequent gator icons appearing on the site and informing us that it was broke as shit. The outages were for a time so common that that period has apparently been dubbed 'the Gator Wars'. I'm a fan, personally.

please dont burn me :c im the victim not the attacker here

As of now, we seem to be fully recovered. Thanks for bearing with us, and hopefully that's the last we have to deal with it! As a couple technical notes we are now running Cloudflare, as I'm sure everyone saw based on the error screen we've been fuming at for the past couple days, so this will help to prevent future issues. Another improvement, though entirely unrelated to this technical debacle: The alternate registration/trainer card import feature on the site has finally been updated to accept Showdown imports rather than PO ones. Thanks to Swimming for correcting that!

...he's only supposed to flirt with female characters... that sounds like an error.... interesting.

Absolutely agreed. Everyone will have different tastes and its no one's place to enforce their opinion disrespectfully or as a matter of fact. Besdies, Btoom was one of my favorites... now if they would just finish it. Q~Q It seems like most people prefer to offer recommendations than ask, so I'll do the reverse, but with a specific prompt: It might be somewhat obvious, but I really love survival games. Closed circle scenarios where the players have to kill each other-- are just so fun! My favorite examples of this are Mirai Nikki, Dangan Ronpa and Rozen Maiden, but I'm always on the hunt for more so if anyone knows other survival game shows, let me know! I keep my MAL up to date and write comments about each show in the tags, so if there are survival games I'm missing on here, and I hope there are, hit me up. http://myanimelist.net/animelist/amethystrain

Ohayo! Observant forum visitors will notice the sparkly new Anime forum sub- to The Radio Tower. We decided to try this out on a similar trial as the Athletics/Creative Writing forums were in. For those who weren't around for that, it's basically a use-it-or-lose-it situation. So if you're an ani-maniac-- er, wait, that's something else-- then get to business! (That probably also means moving out of the general anime thread, should y'all choose) Note that per the subforum name this forum also applies to Western Animation and Manga. 楽しんでください!

her? c'mon now. Anyway since the concept's been introduced at this point I didn't mind trimming it down, which happened with the previous dialogue sweep. http://prntscr.com/82mclm I don't think it was a surge so much as just a fairly average site back then. Our rules weren't so clean or well-enforced (in part because myself and my girlfriend at the time were the sole staff for a while), and I also was not quite as informed as I should have been. Like all things, it's improved over time, and will continue to do so. And I've been working with RPG Maker for 12 years now, though I had been using other programs for a few years before that as well. ...Not very well, of course, since I was like 8, but, whatevs.

I hope none of you take my lack of response to this point as distance a lack of appreciation , because it's so incredibly humbling to read everyone's support and words of encouragement, that I'm left positively speechless. Well, that's not quite accurate-- the only thing I can do is say what I did in the first place: Thank you. I'll continue to work hard for everyone's sake as well.

Afraid not, since that's not in the code. Also, it's not something the main series has done to my knowledge. Red = Up and Blue = Down has been the common thread for animations in the franchise. P-much the blue-reverse of the stat-up. The sounds we have for these two effects are from 5th gen, so I based the animations off of that. Got through all the statuses tonight, but they're all fairly simple, of course. Next up is shiny, mega evolution, and weather.

Clear it up? That's no fun.

So these animations... are gonna a take a while. I don't expect to be finished with the E16 batch within the month. I'll try to post gifs semi-frequently though so it doesn't seem like a dry spell of development. Remember in terms of animation capability we're about on par with 3rd gen since 4th gen and on uses a lot of alpha-fading (which isn't consistent with our existing graphical style) and particle effects (which we don't have a generator for). Here's the redone stat-up animation. Gif quality is a consideration, but thanks to whoever recommended Gyazo.

Deep breath, Ame. Deep breath... Let me start this way: Who's she hurting? There's about four potential answers I see that have been brought up in this topic: She could be hurting herself. She could be hurting her viewers. She could be hurting other women. She could be hurting you as the single viewer. Now I'm going to tell you why all of those are incorrect. * She could be hurting herself: So, these comments go back to the idea, be it explicitly or implicitly that there's something wrong with a girl exposing herself, or acting in a sexual manner. This is called slut-shaming. Before anything, I'd like to say that regardless of your personal views on the matter, slut-shaming not acceptable in this community, as a matter of respect. I'll go ahead and pre-emptively answer the question of why that's disrespectful. Let's look at it in a basic frame. Girls who have sex with lots of different people are commonly called sluts and punished for this behavior. Boys who have sex with lots of different people are generally rewarded for the same behavior. See the difference? This is called the sexual double-standard. It's also called sexism. Now regardless of your personal feelings on promiscuity gender-not-considered, what we're addressing here is that sexist element. Let's assume the posted streamer is indeed making the choice to flaunt her appearance as a, or the main feature of her channel. How is that something not to be proud of? If she is comfortable with the way her viewers interact with her, and she is confident enough to display her body like this, what's the problem? If it was hurting her, she'd have stopped. This is her choice, after all. The argument that she's a whore for featuring her body, or that doing that is something to be a shamed of stems directly from the sexual double-standard. It's a popular, culturally reinforced notion that girls are supposed to be modest and boys are supposed to be sexual. This girl is not displaying modesty in line with that dated value system, so she receives scorn. Given the sexist foundation of that value system, what's hurting her is not her choices, but how people choose to berate her for it with comments like the above, and people who try to take that choice away by insinuating that it's harmful. The fault lies with the speakers of those comments, not her. In short, she is not hurting herself, but those who lash out at her might be hurting her instead. Hence why it's not allowed here. * She could be hurting her viewers: The implication here is that her viewers are being 'tricked' or are 'stupid' for supporting this person. First, let's not insult nearly 100,000 people's intelligence. I haven't watched this person myself so I don't know how she behaves but based on the context provided by others I am going to presume her manner of "tricking people" does not involve covert manipulation and instead is a rather overt tactic that highlights her body. In that case, I think we can hardly call it "tricking" anyone. There's no trick. Everything's right there on the screen... I mean it's half the damn screen as some others have pointed out. Where's the deception? The people who support her know what she's about. Maybe she's more about boobs than games-- whatever. Her supporters are probably fine with that, otherwise they wouldn't still be following/donating to her. Why pity them for not getting a real cam girl? I'm sure they know they could if they wanted, but they're interested in this girl. Maybe this streamer displays just the right boob-to-game ratio that they're looking for (man, that's not a sentence I'd ever expected to type...). The problem with these comments now is that you are not only rather rudely insulting the intelligence of a significant volume of people, but you are now also implying that somehow this "bad decision" is her fault, as if she somehow robbed these poor followers of their willpower using the magic mind-control spell placed on them by her chest. The viewers are real people who have the ability and the right to make their own decisions. If you're belittling that and calling them stupid, once again, the fault lies with you. * She could be hurting other women So, once again, we're all intelligent people here. So I don't think that there's anyone among us who honestly believes that any single female, or even a group of females, can possibly adequately represent the entire breadth, or even a majority, of females in total. Let's just make that clear now. Unless you've got a background in sociology and a reputable sample size with a properly analyzed statistically significant margin of difference (or rather sameness) between members of the female gender, there's really no reason any of us need to assume that 'all girls' (or even a majority) are a certain way. Apply that same logic to specifically female streamers, and it's not going to change all that much aside from the obvious. So where is this idea coming from, that by acting this way she's hurting other women? We all know that the tendencies of one individual does not account for the actions of a group. Therefore, no single woman is obligated to act a certain way just because of how it might reflect on the gender as a whole. Media sells ideas of gender-essentialism because it can profit off of them, and we grow up with them until we learn better. As a kid you might have learned that boys have short hair and girls have long hair, or at least you thought so until the first time you saw a long haired boy and were told that he was not, in fact, a girl. The title of this topic is indicative of a failure to un-learn essentialist notions. Time to grow up. Moreover as intelligent (young) adults we do not benefit ourselves by assuming that others have not unlearned these things. To act as such is again an insult to others' intelligence. So understanding that no individual bears the responsibility of acting as a representative for their gender, let us not assume that others will treat them as if they will. Those who have yet to learn that people are individuals are the ones who need to change-- not the individuals. Finally, * She could be hurting you, as a viewer Here is a solution to this problem: Stop watching her stream, and move onto something you like. Here is something that is not a solution to this problem: Posting a topic disrespecting the streamer and in the process skirt insulting an entire gender. You are entitled to your opinions and reactions. You are not entitled to be an asshole. You're also not excused by backpedaling with a comment like this, Because when this Is your opening post, it's clear that Twitch's ToS are not your priority, and your dislike of the streamer in question, is. Childishly attempting to redirect the conversation for the sake of your ego, so as that you don't appear to have been offensive, is a pointless move in a topic that is blatantly based in insulting another person. Please consider this in the future.
