As of the ninth of this month, I've entered in the Indie Game Making contest and have been working on my entry, As Above, So Below.
I'm making it in RPG Maker, which if I win best of that engine, I get 1.000 dollars.(And just that alone.)
Is anyone else thinking of joining the contest?

Because I couldn't edit the submission page without a download link. I said so in the misc details.

@Kris, Are there going to be any types of creatures & fighting in it? Can some of the creatures be trolls, & Big Caterpillers? Also is Endon an elf or just have face painting done? Will you answer any of these questions?

Yes, there will be. Maybe, if I can find battlers for that, preferably ones that can be used for commercial games. And maaaaybe. He might be an elf, and he might be a human with pointy ears. That will be revealed in the game.

Good luck! I won't be entering because the game I'm making will not be done anytime soon. I can't make a new game either, because I need to focus my game making energy on my current game if I ever want to finish it.

Good luck finding a job too! It's easier said than done, and going to work and then coming home and working on your own projects can be very exhausting sometimes. But, it's totally worth it!

@thenewguy, why not just submit what you have as a demo? So people can at least know about the game.

Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer 
If you feel that you do not want to play a game that features the pentagram as a major part of its symbolism

Is that a joke, or do you really think those people exist in large enough numbers to care about? And that they will actually use a computer and read that?

I need to learn how to adult.

You could try adultery, it sounds like what you need, right?

Good luck with this game, and with finding a job!

So far, I've focused primarily on the mapping and have most of the storyline figured out. The gameplay is going to be mostly sandbox, so there is no set route that you have to take, aside from the beginning town area.
I've still got quite a bit to go, but I'm getting there.

Yeah, sad that we live in a time when a star offends people. They call it satanic, but it's actually jewish.

Maybe they're offended by jews. Pay them no heed.

EDIT: I have been informed that I mixed up the pentagram and star of david. But I have seen 3 star like shapes called a pentagram, so whatever.

@Skurn, I think the difference is the pentagram is tilted & in a circle, while the star of David is just a star in a circle.

@Kris, Can we see some pictures of the map? Also do mean a sandbox create your own adventure like the Elder Scrolls or a linear(in story) sandbox like GTA?

I dunno, I've seen a regular star, upside-down star, and star of david called pentagrams before. Pretty sure at some point, the star of david was used as the symbol of this shitty card game I made back when our class made shitty card games. I was told it was a pentagram and promptly disposed of them I think.

The pentagram is a five pointed circle, the Star of David is a hexagram.
One of the major aspects of this game is the magical symbolism. The pentagram symbolizes the four classical elements, fire water earth and air, under the fifth element of spirit or aether. (Thus, spirit rules over the physical.) Inverted, it is symbolic of the material plane ruling over the spiritual.
The hexagram is symbolic of the phrase, 'As above, so below'. This means, that which is of the heavens is also of the earth. Or, more literally, the larger picture is reflected by the smaller. Small things make up the larger things and whatnot. There's a lot more symbolism in the game than just that.
(Also, the pentagram isn't Jewish. It's pagan in nature, as is the hexagram, it was just appropriated for use in ritual and spiritual uses.)

@Kris, how's the pentagram come to be associated with evilness then? Is it because of Christianity marking anything they don't think is right or of a different religion, as evil?

Good luck. I guess being a member of this forum came of some use, with the experience with programming and game design.

Actually, I didn't learn anything about those from the forum. I learned a lot of things, some of which was actually helpful, yet the rest is mostly in an internet context.

Well you cam still learn some programming stuff by asking people on the forum, you're going to need to be lucky though. If you're not then you'll summon people who don't know anything or some hate.

why does it look like he has a cape on?

Edit: Also will he be more than a cameo?

Because that a default RTP character whom I have designated for him. Like all of the people who live there, he has a storyline that the player can follow while doing jobs for him.
I intend to have him be more than a cameo, maybe have him as an ally during battle. Of course, that depends on what I decide to do with him.

Make him an unlockable character or recruitable like Shadow from Final Fantasy VI where you get him for a while but can get him permanently later on.

@Skurn, is that a game you're making? If so you can compete against Kris.

@Kris, is there going to be anymore cameos that we would know?
