**norsegod666** · 10-20-2008, 01:28 AM

has anybody here ever used any of the RPG Makers? im looking for someone to help me because im trying to make a game on my own and i am having a lot of trouble.

**dean_machine** · 10-20-2008, 01:35 AM

This is the first time I've ever heard of it. I've only ever use a program called game maker, and that was a long time ago with a really old version of it.

edit: Oh, wow, sorry I have no experience with it so I can help you, but it seems like a cool program.

No.

No one has ever used RPG Maker before. You are the first in the history of humanity to discover it.

If you want help using a specific software, particularly when you're so aimless in your asking for help, I suggest you search out a message board or website dedicated to that software. You will not get the help you're looking for here.

ps if I recall, the software is very hard to work in, so if you're stupid, you simply won't be able to do anything of any merit. Good luck though.

MSPaint is easy to use too, but you don't see many making works of art using it.

Really, good luck turning out anything worthwhile.

...I really doubt you're making an MMO from software design only to create small, generic RPG console games.

Also, no need to PM the info if you're willing to share what you have now.

**norsegod666** · 10-21-2008, 08:15 AM

sorry to say this but you weren't listening to what i said. i said the editor is similar to RPG Maker. I did not say I was using RPG Maker.

My friend spent COUNTLESS hours creating a game on RPG maker and it was really fun and funny at the same time. He had to show me some of the secrets he made because some were just absolutely ridiculous.

Yah and this is where I disagree with you. Tinker around with a low-level program for a while and you will eventually be able to turn out something decent. Sure, it wouldn't be commercial quality, but it's a start. A lot of people have ideals about what a good game should be, but until they really make it, they have no idea how it's going to play out.

well i have been tinkering a bit and i pretty much know how to do a lot of the different functions of the engine. it is not very hard to figure it out but to make anything worthwhile yes you need to take up a lot of time.

MrRubix · 10-21-2008, 07:57 PM

The problem with RPG Maker is that too many people nowadays only care about making custom engines. I'd like to see people actually focus on making a good game, first.

NFD · 10-21-2008, 07:57 PM

My friend Dylan used it to make a 1984 game. It was pretty funny, because it was just a battle scene:

***WINSTON USED A THRUST ATTACK!***

***JULIA HAS FAINTED***

It took hours to make the pixelated characters look naked. Hours.

**norsegod666** · 10-24-2008, 01:51 PM

its not that hard. all you need to do is sit down for about an hour and you get the general i dea of how the entire engine works.

**BigBoss37** · 10-28-2008, 05:56 PM

I have RPG maker for my PS. I found it hard to make a decent game without spending 500+ hours on it. >.>

tsugomaru · 10-29-2008, 01:22 AM

That's 5 people working on a game for 10 hours a day for 5 days. Don't be surprised if it turns out to be terrible because making a good RPG tends to take a long time.

Why don't people quit being asses to the guy for doing what he wants, he asked for help, not moronic comments that have nothing to do with him other then your personal opinion. Good luck with your game norsegod666.

For the experience? People do make games for fun on their own time. I know a lot of people who would enjoy spending time making another generic FPS because there is a thrill and satisfaction for replicating something you enjoy a lot.

Way back in high school, I made a game with RPG Maker 95. Had it uploaded and linked to on Download.com and everything.

Six months later, I downloaded it to show it off at a friend's house. Turns out I left the characters starting somewhere I was bugtesting in the middle of the game, with full levels and hit points and everything. Biggest D= moment ever.
