I mentioned maps last week. Here is the #RPGMaker map tree for my current project. Every instance of MAP### that can be expanded looks like the open tree. It's tedious.

Excitedly showing something that you coded to someone who doesn't code at all and having that someone say "so" is the worst. Do you not understand that I spent hours of my life getting the computer to do that? #coding

Officially 2/5s of the way done map making. Doesn't sound like a lot, but 4/5 of the maps I have made are randomly generated. Each randomly generated map needs 16 child maps in order to generate correctly. My project has roughly 130 maps so far. #RPGMaker

I worked on a bunch of map chunks for my project this past week, a couple hours of tiles work. Had the random dungeon floor I was working on error out. Luckily I keep a lot of back ups for my #RPGMaker projects. Sometimes, it's easier to go to the last point that works to preserve your sanity.

The fact that you must be on an #Apple device to set up family sharing and make a child account is absolutely asinine. Why can't this be done through the Apple website.

Mapping out a forest maze. Moving upward is always random if there are more than two possible rooms. Moving down always takes you back to a room earlier in the alphabet with a couple one way traversal.

So far, the most annoying thing about #GameDev isn't working for hours to solve a problem. It's thinking you figured out the solution and not having time to implement it right then so that it doesn't eat at your soul.

It's good to have a sandbox project to just try something in. New plugin? Throw it in the sandbox. Idea for event scripting? Sandbox. I keep a sandbox project and just make a new copy to try things out in. #RPGMaker

Spent the afternoon trying to get the fog in my dungeon to reset each time I reenter the first level. My solution doesn't work with the second level and crashes the game. #RPGMakwr

I spent a good part of my afternoon setting up plugins, making maps, and looking for assets that speak to me like the 80s child that I am (I'm a terrible artist myself). #RPGMaker

There is something nice about getting something together that just works. Hire a party. Enter the dungeon. Get lost. This fog plugin makes even a small dungeon look huge. #RPGMaker

I've been using #RPGMaker for about two weeks. Just exploring what is possible. I threw together a way to add and change party members just using the event scripter. It took about 30 minutes.

Trying to generate random dungeons using a community-made plugin that has only a handful of pages for documentation has me pulling my hair out.
