Game making software Multimedia Fusion, as well as several games created using it, make up the latest Humble Bundle. The requirement for the lot is currently $6 (which is pretty insane) so don't miss this opportunity if you fancy getting into a new engine.

THE ULTIMATE SAGA

The Ultimate Saga isn't just a game. It's the ULTIMATE game. How ultimate? So ultimate. More ultimate than your body has room to handle. And it's an entire saga. A WHOLE SAGA. Do you even know how much that is, in dog years?

But on a more serious note, the ultimate saga is essentially a parody game. Of JRPG's in general, but more specifically, fan RPG's. It's like your friend's first game, back in middle school. The game is inspired a lot by Mother 3, it's really light hearted and goofy, while combat is still balanced in such a way as to always feel fair and fun- unlike your friend's actual first game.

If you're looking for a not too long but still fun 10-20 hour game, depending on your completion level and overall speed (I've had reports of 11-17 hours, with some hinting by me) that doesn't try hard to be anything it isn't, and has really...

Private Subforums are having somewhat of a reboot as: Personal Forums.

What is a personal forum?

It is a small board hosted on HBGames that works like any other of our boards, but which you have moderator rights in and can run as you choose (within reason and rules).

What's changed?

Personal forums can now be open rather than private, so anybody may post in them. It's up to you.

How do I get a personal forum?

Personal forums are available to all sponsors on request via a quick private message.

What do I need to choose?

1. A name for your forum
2. A short description that will show on the personal forums page
3. OPTIONAL, a small image: (Up to 100x15), which shows on the personal forums page
4. OPTIONAL, a password so that only you and your friends can enter the...

January Blues Contest

Just to let you guys know of our plans for the near future:

We intend to run a contest starting around January 1st. It will be an RPG Maker oriented contest and games must be made in a title from the series. We can use this thread to discuss the contest and what we want from it until then, but this will be a large contest with substantial rewards, sponsored by RPG Maker (http://www.rpgmakerweb.com). The prizes will include product keys for RPG Maker VX Ace, and the contest should receive good publicity around the Internet.

This is going to take some planning, but current thoughts:

• You will need to be a member of HBGames.org to join the contest (whether you join specifically for the contest or not).
• There will be rewards for critique and comments as well as for...

I have used the graphics I created for a previous generator (that used outside code) and created my own from scratch. I don't have a very good computer to test this on at the moment, so cannot gauge how it looks in the browser - fonts, spacing, etc - but functionally it should work.

I do plan to create one for RMVX/Ace sprites when I have a new computer that I can edit graphics on.

All graphics currently are RMXP RTP edits by myself.

Just a head's up, in the Steam autumn sale, RPG Maker VX Ace is 50% off. (In the UK that's £24.99, not sure about elsewhere).

In other news, Game Maker's standard version is now free (that's one up from the free edition). You have to do it from the editor in the free edition.
