I've been at making games for RPG Maker for almost 20 years! No, they're not ALL Dragon Kingdoms games, just most of 'em.

^ There's bound to be some hits and misses sometimes. Also, you've made I believe, three projects in the last six weeks?
Back to the drive, I made three more monsters (Black Eagle, Sahagin and Lake Dragon), which I could only do by re-downloading the SNES RPG Maker. Otherwise I'd get the colors wrong or something.

Two in a row! And on a Wednesday, too!
I colored two monsters that I had made in 2007, and imported them into the database. No more temporary graphics for Grass Snakes and Rockes (a type of golem).

I made some progress yesterday!
I added monster groups to the database, and accompanying events to the second area (touch encounters). In fact, I have more monster groups ready than monsters that can yet be encountered.

Nations and Populations
About the places being implied but you never go to thing- there's a path in Final Fantasy X/X-2 on the first island, Besaid, that you never take. If you try to go that way, the game won't let you. And there are more islands on the airship map than you ever go to. Conclusion: Final Fantasy X/X-2 have more towns than are shown in the story. They just aren't important.
Suikoden I through V (and now VI) more than likely take place on the same world, at different times. What is implied in Suiko1 isn't visited until Suiko2 or even Suiko3.
Breath of Fire did well at implying other towns/villages/continents even from its first game (well, maybe not continents in the first two). On the path to the Clock tower, there are several demolished villages shown on the map.
Breath of Fire III has several areas closed off (Northern Checkpoint, Western Checkpoint, etc.) where, undoubtedly, something exists. More than likely, Monster Island from the first two BoFs would be somewhere above the final town, as an example. And let's not forget the huge expanse of land never visited in Breath of Fire IV.
Dragon Quest VIII has several smaller areas than towns while wandering the map, so they probably existed in earlier games, they just weren't necessary. Dragon Quest I probably had farms and the like, too. Wasn't that the one where some girl was selling tomatoes? You couldn't actually buy them, but it did suggest that there are farms around somewhere.
As for my own game, I try to make it where each area looks different enough from the last. That way, it feels like a different country.
Why is Final Fantasy so terrible at portraying the possible existence of other towns and villages?

I think all those towns got aged to oblivion.

I forgot to post today's progress!
Nothing. It was a write off. Started a map but its impossible to concentrate today thanks to house renovations. Fuck.
What's strange is a couple days ago, I thought I was going to see a Nothing under progress in the spoiler text. I've had too many nothing days lately.

Over the weekend...
Unfortunately, not much action to speak of in the RPG Maker front. See why in the World Series topic.
I did spend Saturday morning looking through some scripts to possibly add, so at least something is going to be done.
Sunday just seemed to run away.
Hopefully, this week will be better.

World Series: The Curse is Broken
...why do you think my Drive slowed down for a while there, Kentona?
And the 29-30-31 of October slowdown was a direct result of the Phillies win. For, you see, I'm from the other town, "Tampa Bay". However, I've come to realize it was far more important that the Phillies got the win, seeing as the last championship was a long time ago.
Philadelphia (as a whole (all teams), before October 27*)
Last championship win was 1983- 25 years ago.
Tampa Bay (again, the "city" as a whole, before October 27*)
Last championship win was 2005- just three years ago. And of course, still is.
*Although the game finished October 29, it started October 27, meaning that for official records, the Phillies won on Monday.

Steel Survives to Terrorize the Internet Once Again
5:15 PM, is there any word yet? I didn't know if the topic was about the Steel at GW until I clicked on it. Hopefully it was a success.
