📚 A List Of Useful Websites When Making An RPG 📚

My timeloop RPG In Stars and Time is done! Which means I can clear all my ISAT gamedev related bookmarks. But I figured I would show them here, in case they can be useful to someone. These range from "useful to write a story/characters/world" to "these are SUPER rpgmaker focused and will help with the terrible math that comes with making a game".

This is what I used to make my RPG game, but it could be useful for writers, game devs of all genres, DMs, artists, what have you. YIPPEE

Writing (Names)

Behind The Name - Why don't you have this bookmarked already. Search for names and their meanings from all over the world!

Medieval Names Archive - Medieval names. Useful. For ME

City and Town Name Generator - Create "fake" names for cities, generated from datasets from any country you desire! I used those for the couple city names in ISAT. I say "fake" in quotes because some of them do end up being actual city names, especially for french generated ones. Don't forget to double check you're not 1. just taking a real city name or 2. using a word that's like, Very Bad, especially if you don't know the country you're taking inspiration from! Don't want to end up with Poopaville, USA

Writing (Words)

Onym - A website full of websites that are full of words. And by that I mean dictionaries, thesauruses, translators, glossaries, ways to mix up words, and way more. HIGHLY recommend checking this website out!!!

Moby Thesaurus - My thesaurus of choice!

Rhyme Zone - Find words that rhyme with others. Perfect for poets, lyricists, punmasters.

In Different Languages - Search for a word, have it translated in MANY different languages in one page.

ASSETS

In general, I will say: just look up what you want on itch.io. There are SO MANY assets for you to buy on itch.io. You want a font? You want a background? You want a sound effect? You want a plugin? A pixel base? An attack animation? A cool UI?!?!?! JUST GO ON ITCH.IO!!!!!!

Visual Assets (General)

Creative Market - Shop for all kinds of assets, from fonts to mockups to templates to brushes to WHATEVER YOU WANT

Velvetyne - Cool and weird fonts

Chevy Ray's Pixel Fonts - They're good fonts.

Contrast Checker - Stop making your text white when your background is lime green no one can read that shit babe!!!!!!

Visual Assets (Game Focused)

Interface In Game - Screenshots of UI (User Interfaces) from SO MANY GAMES. Shows you everything and you can just look at what every single menu in a game looks like. You can also sort them by game genre! GREAT reference!

Game UI Database - Same as above!

Sound Assets

Zapsplat, Freesound - There are many sound effect websites out there but those are the ones I saved. Royalty free!

Shapeforms - Paid packs for music and sounds and stuff.

Other

Hello I hope this post helps for why people think Marinette is a stalker.

1. The reason why Marinette knowing Adrien entire schedule was seen as stalker-ish is that Adrien never told Marinette his schedule. So it’s implied that the only reason why she knows that is because she stalked him. Not only that but she also made an entire physical chart of his schedule. It’s different if you’re really close friends with someone, and by proxy by being around them so much you know their schedule. Because in the early seasons Marinette and Adrien weren’t very close friends yet. Adrien had the same level of friendliness towards Marinette to everyone else in his class at that time.

2. Yes, her sneaking into his house without his knowledge or consent is very much stalker-ish.

3. Those pictures that you showed look more like sneaking to me. Granted I don’t remember the context behind these so maybe they actually are stalking.

4. Yes, her stealing Adrien’s phone without his knowledge or consent is seen as very stalker-ish. Granted I’ll give it to you that her reasons for why she was stealing Adrien’s phone came from a very innocent place. In that she just wanted to delete an embarrassing voice message she left to Adrien.

5. I will agree with you that the puppeteer 2 scene wasn’t stalker like behavior, but it is something completely different for why people don’t like Marinette in general. Is that she has a very possessive behavior for Adrien despite them not actually being a couple. And that puppeteer 2 scene kind of highlighted that for people.

6. Her age she sort of doesn’t matter in this situation. It’s one thing if she’s doing all of this and the narrative frames this behavior as really and something you shouldn’t do. But it’s another when the narrative frames this as a positive thing to do. And that’s really the main issue people have with this. Is that Marinette has done a lot of bad things but she has face little to no consequences. Like back to the phone thing, it’s whatever if Marinette doesn’t get in trouble for stealing, but it’s different when she is actively rewarded for stealing (I.e. going to the movies with Adrien). I’m okay with Marinette having these negative traits if the narrative also acknowledges that. Because these traits shouldn’t shown to children and frame them positively because that’s grossly negligent.

I hope this helps. If this post genuinely came off as aggressive I’m really sorry for that. That wasn’t my intention. There’s a lot more reasons why people see Marinette as a stalker. But I think this is enough and also I would be here for a while.

As someone who loves all the children in Miraculous with my whole heart...

Can someone explain me why marinette is called a 'stalker'?

Is it cause she has his schedule?

Listen ,

I know what my best friend is doing 24/7 ,infact without her telling me..

She's probably having her afternoon sleep rn...

My anxious self have calendars for like literally everything..

Am I a stalker for that.?

Is it because she tried sneaking into his house (lmao)?

So this is also stalking .. right?

Is it beacuse she stole his phone once?

Listen,I once broke my cousin's wooden toy(you know ,those monkeys that move when you twist the handle?)

Took it,fixed it(it was really easy ,you just had to put the handle back in the hole),and put it back

(to this day she doesn't knows about it)

Will I be considered a thief for it?

Is it cause of the puppeteer scene?

,she was just trying to practice her confession,she had no idea he was real ...how the heck is that stalking??.

Look,I have seen literal stalkers in news several times,she isn't one.

I need an explaination

She leaves you.

In Act 4, if you've used the Call Loop skill at least 10 times, there is a random chance that you can trigger this conversation upon looping to Dormont.
