Kurotsune

The fact no one has mentioned the Kingkiller chronicles here is a mistake you all need to rectify. Go read it. Now.

Yeah, you should keep giving ideas.

If you think Grass and Electric are sure-wins against Amaria, think again. No Gym Leader worth their salt fights unprepared.

I know what calculations the AI makes to decide what move to use next. With a piece of paper and a pen, I can simulate the entire fight before it happens and pick the sequence that lets me win. Check.

Monolockes are where it's at.

I've already beaten Reborn in a nuzlocke challenge. (Chapter 14)

Eh.

If not, beer. Favorite Colour: Guess. Favorite Music Genre : The one with the sounds Favorite Band : N/A Favorite album : N/A Favorite Game : Hard tie between Dark Souls 2, Fallout New Vegas and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (Which is way too underrated, by the way) Favorite Game Genre : I like the not boring kind Favorite Hobbitses: Bilbo's pretty swell.

Bonus: I'm known to randomly burst into song both in real life and in text. To anyone savvy enough to pick up from whatever music I happen to be singing, those are usually related to how I feel at the time. I'm also known for wearing a black pseudo-fur blanket as a cape, pretend I'm a vampire and hiss at people. I'm 100% serious. I hope my answers shed some light in the mistery that is Kurotsune.

And now we all have textual proof I'm Amethyst's senpai and all she wants is for me to notice.

Oh jeez, if only someone told you this before. I've been. I've been telling you this for six months.

You just rename them like before. Considering the "manual backup" system is literally the player manually changing the file name, there isn't really anything to revert it to.

So, as you know, episode 15 is nearing it's completion, and so I decided to expand upon what I've mentioned previously regarding the save backup system and list just exactly will be shipping in with the episode. So, first, I'd like to go over the list of things that were voted in the poll, and explain why we didn't actually follow any of your suggestions at all (oops) Would you prefer multiple backup files or only one? One file per character (You'd have to swap manually) We have identified an issue where several backup files may corrupt in a row, so we were forced to change to multiple files as a singular file ran the risk of not solving the main issue the system was designed to solve. Would you prefer the files to be in the same folder or have multiple folders for things like different trainers? Multiple folders We won't be using multiple folders at least right now due to technical inviability within RPG Maker XP, though I am looking into it. Would you like an automatic load backup system, or are you fine with doing manual backups? Manual system Because I managed to finish the system a lot faster than I originally imagined, so I decided to add in the automatic backup system. However, since I can't test it, it is currently only within E15's beta, and depending on the results of the beta test, the feature may be removed. Would you like the backup save files to contain details about the playthrough, such as name, time, map, etc? Here is how the save files curently look: 1 - Ari - 32h 27m - Peridot Ward - 12 badges.rxdata So, the system currently shipping out with E15 will be able to backup multiple saves, indexing them several criteria such as trainer name, map, time, badges, and the game may potentially upload a previous saved file automatically should a corrupt backup file be found. That's all folks. Enjoy your game!

While not exposing a particular opinion, I will discuss the sex-media's biological effect on the youth. Summing up: There are two main hormones that aid the body's development during puberty. the growth hormone, henceforth called GH, and estrogen for the ladies and testosterone for the guys (There's a lot of grey here. Women produce testosterone and men produce estrogen, but we are not going to merit these into the discussion, merely the main hormones involved in the process of pubescence and their relationships). So, GH makes you grow. No surprise there; Development of the musculature, organs, tissue - From a very young age we are constantly bombarded with a healthy dosage of GH, which is not bad at all since the more of the stuff you get, the taller and stronger you become. Here's the kicker, when we reach puberty, our body has fully developed. That means all bones, organs, muscles and tissues have fully finished their growth stage (with very few exceptions). So, when our puberty hormones kick off, our growth hormone gets shut down. For males, this is a non-issue. Testosterone does most of the things the growth hormone does already; It helps strengthen and develop musculature, it makes you taller (at times very much so), it increases libido (if also aggressiveness) and it does all of the other fun puberty things. For females, however, things are slightly different. While estrogen does contribute to some of those (most puberty stuff, libido, musculature definition (though in the female case is more along the lines of refinement rather than growth) it does not contribute to muscular or bonular (yep, this is a word) growth; In other words, when girls reach their first period, they will generally stop gaining height at all or in significant amounts. Now, in a situation where the maturing process of the human body occurs as nature intended - starting at 15 and ending at 21 - things would be swell and no one would have an issue. However, studies indicate women are actually growing shorter each generation because of higher sexualization in the media. Why? Because this is actually causing women to go through puberty earlier, with females starting puberty as early as 9 years old, which not only gives them trouble in regards to physical appearance, it can have drastic effects in organ development as well. While the same is happening for males (12 years old as opposed to 15), due to the higher uptake of testosterone, the effects are lightened and often harmless. So, from a biological standpoint, the exposition of higher to sexual material and a sexualized society can have biological consequences. The reasons why this happens can also be explained psychologically, but they a tad on the obvious side. Now, this deals only with one type of material, and only one particular situation, and a few things must be disclaimed: 1 -> As mentioned above, there are few studies on this matter, so it is theorized but unproven. 2 -> The same organizations that conduct the studies on early puberty have pointed other causes such as obesity as the main factor, so it may not be exposition. (though then one could argue the sins of a sedentary society, but this isn't the place for that) 3 -> The above doesn't reflect my opinion, just something I thought would add to the conversation. To briefly mention my opinion on the matter, I think to say we have a choice on what we are exposed to is bullshit. Even as an adult I have no choice on what type of content I'm exposed to when simply opening this very website I will see two or three ads I did not chose to watch; Opening a youtube video may expose me to a sexualized advertising propaganda I did not elect to view, and in the interval of my quiet cooking show I may be exposed scenes from the latest trailer of super-violent-action-movie V. Of course in regards of the some of content I have choice, and of course in regards to some of it I can shield my child from seeing, but I can't control the billboards she watches as the bus moves towards school, or what her friends' parents' allow their children to see and discuss and so on and so forth. Therefore, I don't think the right way is to shield content from children, but to guide them through it. Impart upon the child the knowledge to determine what interests it and what doesn't; Regardless of how much medical and psychological society likes to state otherwise, I've seen five year olds more "mentally developed" than some fifty year olds. Everyone can be taught and reasoned with, all it takes is a willing teacher. And from then on, it's up to them not to chose what they watch, but to filter it, and chose when what they watch will affect them.

I petition the fight against Titanita to be atop a giant cake. ...Gonna tell ya, there's about three different references in that small sentence and only a few people in this community will get all of them.

We are already in the process of discussing the validity of the current format, in fact. Then we'd have "date hype" and complaints if the date was blown. We can't predict the date accurately, while the progress bar can display accurately how far we are in. Unnecessary comments, however, are easier to remove. Some last little treat I'll get around to adding in soon.

If Amethyst was or ever is as petty as to stall development of her work to spite someone, I'll quit on the spot. So if it happens because of that, you'll know.

Just to point out, the woman has literally dedicated her life to this game. She's not going to do it as "slow as possible" just to mess with someone. As mentioned previously, we all have a lot of things to do. Some related to reborn, some not. It was long said that the closer the numbers got to 100% the slower they'll increase since as we get closer to beta release, we need to make sure for the Nth time that everything works. And even then, we still need to beta best to make sure shit isn't broken.

Awesome. Since this is the first game, I'll take care of everything from characters to plot, but the idea is eventually creating a consistent party that gets together every week/month to play a different set of adventures through a homebrew world.I'm going to finish the thread by creating the character descriptions, which I've been slowly working on, and then we can discuss time.

I'd strongly suggest worrying about timezone after gathering the players. For now, just voice desire to join. Afterwards we can gather everyone who is interested and discuss scheduling.

Yes, time zone will be a thing we have to discuss. But as mentioned, it's one game played across a couple of hours on one weekend... It'll hardly hurt anyone's schedule.

Honestly, the price to have free access to all D&D material in the game is actually more than fair. That said, like I've mentioned, there's the free alternative, Roll 20.

If you're curious, that was for this.
