Siverix, if you want to talk about your idea which you think is better, make a different topic for it. And you can't just say "I have a better idea" without elaborating. M'kay? That's not fair to Last End.

The particle ricochet system looks really cool! Can't wait to test this out.

No. Do you know a site that allow you to search that database. So far the ones I found want a fee.

To make money in any business, one must spend money; not everything is free.

(LRS)That not a half bad, given its visual editer ui design is somewhat like a RPG Maker and Visual Studios smashed together; however just like RPG Maker VX COULD sue for LastEnd RPG Maker, RPG Studios is taken as well. In a way i see the term much like the term Fresh bread (Dannys Fresh Bread).

It was a suggestion and I have already showed you that RPG Maker is a trademark (registered or not it is still protected). Better to change it and cloud your mind thinking "no one will bother the little guy." This is business and if a small or large company sees you making a profit off of their trademark it could get ugly.

With this sue happy world there are no set rules.

Yes their are. For example if you live in the USA you need a business license to sell a service or product or the government may knock on your door come tax time. Not to mention filling a DBA, registering your own trademark (or save money and don't). There are plenty which shows you have not done the most important thing RESEARCH.

Seeking a new product name if changed will take time.

This is not true at all. I could come up with plenty of names and Google could help me find if they are being used or not. Example when I decided to start a business its name changed plenty of times for different reasons:

1) Dragon Eclipse Studios --- changed because the overall URL was way to long.
2) Ryu Interactive --- changed because I did not like the sound of it.
3) Magix Studios --- changed because the name sounded like we delt with animated films (like Dreamworks).
5) Medevil Studios --- changed because medevil.com was taken.
6) Mad Klown Entertainment --- What it is now.

Yes naming a business or product is hard, but it doesn't take a long time.

I say Just call it LastEnd RPG. After all Stencyl's name doesn't really say, "hey you can make games with me." Why add MAKER or anything behind RPG. It would make you unique and stand out. Also:

1) http://www.trademark...aspx?tn=LastEnd
2) http://www.trademark...?tn=LastEnd+RPG

If I where you I would just use one of them. I mean heck your domain name is just LastEnd.

[LastEnd]

As I said before it will take time because I need to update the site banner with the new name. Also I want to make sure I wont have to be change again.

Considering "LastEnd RPG" the only problem is that it could be mistake for a game name.

I beleave I have a great name is mind. Just dont want to say it yet.

This is true. I just hate giving money to goverments. Trademarks can cost a ton if your application for a trademark fails. The application fee is not refunded. Also I can pick a name and protect it under IP before summiting the application.

Hmm I been taking a lot of crap for this new name @ http://www.hbgames.o...p?f=179&t=67065 read over the end of post and let me know what you think.

On a lighter note I've been IOing the particle system, and so far Its working great. My next step is to link particle emitters to Spells.

[Broken Messiah]

Sounds pretty cool

Some are a little rude and wrong Glitch is a dumb a$$. ANy way I will repeat what I said there, but remember if all else fails e-mail Microsoft and ask them because proof is bad a$$.

I say lose all ties to RPG Maker and Visual Studios. It's best if you truly come up with a unique name that defines YOUR product and not SOMEONE ELSE'S, in whole or part. Also keep in mind that it's not just large corporations you have to watch for, but small well known business as well. When choosing a name you need to do more then just the basic search.

1) GOOGLE it or use any search engine. The quickest way to see if it is possibly available.

*Okay so it did not show up in Google to anything relevant...

2) TRADEMARK search. The internet is pron to many paid and free trademark search sites. Some can also do international trademark searches. Doesn't matter if you live in the US or not brand an item using a name to a major foreign company (which probably has a branch or division in the US or other country) and well they may come knocking.

*Okay so trademark is good right? Wrong...

3) DOMAIN SEARCH is also good as well as most people do not know that a domain name can be trademarked. If the domain name is not in use it's more likely not in use as a product or business name. If you are told it is taken visit the site. If a place holder page is there you might be able to buy it; of course keep in mind some people buy domain names to resell them for outrageous prices.

Research is the key here as people think that, "they won't bother me I'm just some dude in my bedroom," and then they get a wake up call. Reason being if they see a way to make more money (and in some cases a lawsuit can do this) they will do it.

[Kiriashi]

Wow... those guys sure are a bunch of jerks. Sorry about that.

[madanchi]

jees (the 1st page) the people on there seemed like complete ignorant ****s , dont they realise its in very early beta, theyre acting as if its a fully professional paid team like Enterbrain themselves and critisizing it to hell and back

if it was me, I'd keep away from forums like that, because no matter what you show them, theyll just throw it right back at your face with some other crap to go on about

[Noob Saibot]

It's the roots of rmxp.net/.org they still live in the many members of hbgames.org.

[Fateofdawn]

It looks awsome! Looking forward to the demo

[LastEnd]

Beta is now live. I am allowing anyone to download it and test it for free. All I ask in return is you give any feedback you may have using the LastEnd Forums.

[rgangsta]

YES! Installing it right now.

[Chief]

No, I read through it and they werent being jerks, maybe a tad frustrating, but you need heavy criticism. Youre attempting to outdo RPG Maker, the most popular 2D RPG Creation system around. Its a difficult task that needs attention to every detail. They were being a bit flustering because they wanna know everything possible thing about it and if they might someday use it. from your topic on there, compared to quite a few others, they were being a lot nicer to you than most people.

[Broken Messiah]

How do I see the scripting?

oh right sorry, didn't notice it

the only issue I've had so far is when i fail a level in Maze (1st lvl this was) I clicked menu and it fullscreened BUT the mouse curser and game curser where out of allignment. E.g. mouse curse is centred to the screen, ga,me curser is positioned to the far left but that only happened once so no worries as it's in beta

To add a tileset go into Tile Mode and right click the current tileset and select the add tileset menu. To get a map with a new tileset just create a map and select any image type. To add a map right click the map tree and select the add map menu.

Templates are made from game projects. Basicly any project can become a template. [.etp] is the project file type.

Updates version 0.6.9 Beta

1. Maze Template got down sized to 3 levels.
2. Tool bar now shows when user is adding objects.

Bugs Fixed version 0.6.9 Beta

1. Base Particle file was added to the template to allow for particles to be added.
2. You can now see Collision painting
3. (Spelling error) 'Pallet' [Wood object for stacking boxes on] change to be 'Palette'.
4. Application, about dialog, and welcome screen now pull the right name from the Assembly information.
5. Gameboard Grid no longer crashes.
6. Tools and Modes tool bar buttons tooltip now work.
