I am in the process of working on a game titled Faereality: A Modern Fairy Tale.  I'm almost through with a demo, but college has put production at a standstill.  I'll try to have it out soon. :P

Yeah, that's why I never made a topic for mine...  Don't want to spoil anything before I even have a demo available.  I figure that the threads in the Projects/Games section get more views if you have "Demo available now!" in the subject line.

I wanna attempt a game like this except the main character would be a character who would turn into a Biometal to fight much like the animes Guyver and Generator Gawl.  Hopefully I go through with my concept since I really have taught my self RPG Maker and I usually give up when things don't work or boredom sets in.

Any advice about how to go through with an RPG Maker game?

Unless you are going to use 100% original resources, you will have problems with selling your game. Then RPG Maker is not even the best choice, since you are using totally original resources anyway.

I have heard of a Culumbine RPG.....

Yes, it was featured in the Washington Post a while back, and made a bit of a splash in this very forum because the screenshots shown in the newspaper were obviously from RPG Maker 2000, although no credit was given to RM or Don Miguel.

If you are referring to the game I said, yeah, others said that to.

My issue is the the news displayed the game as (even though they didn't use the words) a evil game.

Then talked how children can download violent games, I was like "Well DUH!"

Now I truly know that the news is biased.

clearly you haven't used RPG maker that long

Don Miguel introduced RPG Maker to the U.S. by translating RM2K.  He is revered as a godlike figure in RM user's minds.

Beware if you go looking for the Columbine game.  I have a friend who got a virus from downloading it.  Don't get it if you don't trust the site you find it on.
