i'm samanthuel, i am a gentle and giant girl, she/her video game developer and lover of hip-hop and insects. i made the megaman sprite game, mickeys dick smasher, and the "don't talk to me or my son ever again" memei'm more active on twitter these days so follow me there!: https://twitter.com/splendidland

been messing with OHRRPGCE and franken as one is want to do, and we found a mention of a malformed thing in the text data. could not find any corresponding enemy encounter, was it like a debug thing? because this sort of thing is fascinating & seeing it piqued our interest as to if it was like. an error handler or smth

you can find these entities in a place where you'll meet a man with nothing to say.

Man, I wish I knew about these music libraries sooner! They are awesome? Do you need a license to use this for free projects (for KPM and Bruton)? I’m having a hard time finding definitive answers but I’m probably just a dope

Avatar

library music definitely shouldn't be misunderstood to be free to use stock music and i believe you Should have a license, yes. granted i'm not an expert on this and i certainly didn't ask anyone or sort out licences when i Borrowed all the music when making franken, for that i'm purely operating on "well they haven't come after me yet lol"

d'you have any suggestions for good places to find library music?

Avatar

a good start is to look for music licenced by "KPM" or "bruton"! there's a lot of great artists who made music for them.

Would you recrommend OHRRPGCE for someone who’s never used it before or a newer engine

Avatar

it's a free engine so i think you should just try it out and see if you like it!

would you be opposed to people uploading franken rpg sprites on spriters resource?

Avatar

please do it! put them graphics on there it'd be Cool. if you download OHRRPGCE you can extract them Easily

how did you find the music for franken rpg its very obscure

Avatar

all the music in the game is stuff i already had in my music playlist! i love library music and 70's/80's anime

FRANKEN draws near! A new RPG from me appears out of nowhere! In “FRANKEN”, a hero fights monsters to become stronger so they can save the world.

Features: -the most rudimentary battle system imaginable -bestiary to read about all the monsters -find three magic orbs -explore the world and talk to characters

Length:  30 mins - 1 hour.

hey! do you use any external application for making sprites?

Avatar

ya i use ms paint for sprites and then import them into OHR usually! though for smaller sprites and tiles i often just draw them with the engine tools

Hey! I played through Franken recently and loved it! I also really really like the way you do your Pixel art! I'd love to get better at it myself and I was wondering how you got so good at it. Was it just practice or are there any resources you recommend? If you don't have time to answer this that's no problem! But if you see this I hope you're doing well!

i'm mostly Self Taught so i am a very terrible teacher. some of my earliest sprites were edits of megaman characters, which i don't inherantly reccomend at all but it did give me a good feel for like, learning to adhere to an artstyle and appreciating the graphics from games i like. mostly it's just i've been doing it for a really long time and gotten better at it and figured out my own style!
