RPGmaker devs are making a Godot RPGmaker
people pay money for the semi-annual RPGmaker versions though
this is just a way to cash in on the godot relevance rn
There's an open beta coming up I want to try
But yeah, they claim the reason its FORTY FUCKING DOLLARS, is they're doing weekly story shit and expensive cutscenes
Archipelago information and links:
What is Archipelago (AP): AP is a multi game randomizer designed for group randomizer events. What this means is you could randomize multiple games items among each other, so a star in Mario 64 in one person's game could be a key item in Ocarina of Time for another person. The official website has a limit of like 12 or so people, but technically for self hosted games you can have as many as you want (this server is never at risk of hitting the cap).
Below is a set of links and a very basic guide for the things you will need:
https://archipelago.gg/ - Main page for the website, this will have setup guides and links to various things. If you would rather not go through their guide, here are the relevant items:
https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases The main software. You, as a player and not the person generating the roms, will only need this for the terminal that tells you when players get items (and let you get hints in your game)
https://github.com/black-sliver/PopTracker Poptracker is a multigame tracking software. It has built in AP support (so it will automatically update when you get items from the game). Just google poptracker game and you should probably find a github for your specific game
https://archipelago.gg/games - Official list of supported games. Anything on this list will be essentially feature complete as far as randomizers go.
https://discord.com/channels/731205301247803413/1343416927871307776/1368423198483415090 - Supported games, but not official for one way or another. Often these games are alpha/beta releases. Might have some issues, but 99% of the time we've not had issues with it. Because modern developers are awful, you need to join their discord to view these. Most of the good games are on this list, so its worth checking out.

List of games I am fine with doing
Yeah, I ran out of space in my message, and I did not want to split it between two posts
The days that work best for me are Fri 7/19, Thu 7/25, Sat 7/27
Any time requirements on that
Sometimes "day that works best for me" means like 11pm start time, which obviously does not work
Those are specifically the ones that don’t have time requirements like that
Its alpha
so it works
It will likely just be normal wind waker rando shoehorned into working with AP
Like theoretically I could do Wed 7/24 too but I have work the following morning so I’m more reluctant to do that since it could go long
Yeah Max would probably be faster at WW rando than vinny was at OoT
if she wants to join
I can check what it has, give me a second
it does
I might make a google sheet so people can just put down games/times that work for them if they are in passing interested
I think thats easier
Yeah, but thats not that much of an issue
Max is tech savvy enough that she can manage that, if I could manage mario kart 64s
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Of9YWWJQt4AJViOB0WgRnOROpLKJaGPpIPXRE4dmTKs/edit?usp=sharing there maybe this works better for planning
again no commitment to show up even if you add yourself to the list (and you can show up if you do not)
Damn, Jims stream was not short enough to beat VVVVVV blind for the first time
decent game
I can see why people like it
I missed the sub 500 deaths achievement by 2 deaths
