Title: New on the forums, i need your help.
Post by: LostAdventure on October 22, 2008, 11:01:03 AM
Hello guys, im new on the forums, and would to say sorry, if this topic is posted in the wrong section.

Well, my problem is - i dont know where to start, and could need some help.

I have noticed that the map is quite huge when you start up a new project, but if i make a door, can i go to another "world" that's as big as the world you start in?

Any guides, support would be appreciated MUCH!

Thanks on purpose, regards Alex.

Okay. It'll do you well and save you some trouble to read the help files.
You can add and adjust the existing maps,  by clicking or right clicking on the left sidebar:

Then, double click on the event layer (read help files if this does not make sense) and use the Teleport event command.

Force a game over screen.

Okay, just some inputs i just got into my head.

A big city, with armor, weapon etc shops, there is a door down to a dungeon, where you can raise the first 5-6 levels (like in World Of Warcraft with instances), where you have to kill alot of monsters to gain a fast level.

Cliche is a phrase, expression, or idea that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty.

A swordsman starts in a small village, a dragon wants to destroy the world, the swordsman has to find the seven eternal crystals to get to the dragon and defeat him.

The fun in RPG Maker comes from making your own idea come to life. There's no fun in making someone else's game. Use your own ideas and who cares if nobody else likes them. RPG Maker is about having fun with the program, not about making games that other people want to play.

You could call it Eternal Tales of the Crystal Dragon Legend.

I'd suggest you just play around with the program first, familiarize it until you actually have a good story in mind.
