1. Introduction:
 
I'm making my first game With RPG Maker 2003, I have Autism Ashburgers and ADHD (Attention Defisit Hyperactive Disorder) I have played games a lot for over 20 years. I got Hardly any experience except I have some experience with a Mario Game Maker called Mario Worker, a tiny bit with Game Maker back when it was free and most of my experience is with RPG Maker 2003.

2. Things I need most right now:

I am not a artist I'm seriously bad at art and have no interest in doing it or learning it I don't have a good eye for detail as my eye sight is very bad. Also I'm ADHD (Attention Defisit Hyperactive Disorder) it makes it very hard for me to pay attention especially to things that don't Interest me, but it's the only really big thing I need at this point. (Other then a Battle system.) Edit: I might have a Artist now a friend said she would help if she could get good at doing art again. I could still use another Artist to help since my friend is just getting back into doing art again.

I am a newbie at making games since this is only my first one and so I'm not really that good at making complicated stuff like a Battle system yet so it would be really helpful if someone could make me one or tell me about one I could use, I don't want something overly complicated as this is going to be a basic old style like RPG.

Message me or ask on this Thread for detail if you want to help me out.

3. About the game:

So I'm making a game on there called Mist of Memory Basically the Plot is this:

The Mane 6 Plus Spike are sent by Princess Celestia to check on the locked up Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings, Upon reaching there Prison in the Changeling Kingdom they find them gone Upon following Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings trail through Changeling Kingdom and the lands around it they will come to a narrow Wooded Valley that's is right between to mountains and a little bit beyond Knight's Peak and shortly upon entering Twilight sees some strange fog and the girls plus spike go to investigate it upon approaching the fog it instantly surrounds them, they slowly faint then later wake up with no memory of who they are or who these other 5 Mares and baby dragon near them are. And so our adventure begins....... (Story Ideas are welcomed and appreciated!)

This is where the new Plot ideas come from:

The Map in MLP Comic 2 shows me that the changeling kingdom is in between Equestria and Polaris. As I have decided to put a path to Polaris as a narrow Wooded Valley that's is right between to mountains and a little bit beyond Knight's Peak as show in the map. So I have decided to tweak my game's intro a bit: Basically Celestia Will now send them to check up on the changelings with were locked up at the end of the 4th comic, The Mane 6 and Spike will get there only to find them gone. Upon following a rather obvious trail they will come to the Wooded Valley leading to Polaris which is where they get there Memory wiped by the Mist.

8. Barebones Demo:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2IviCaffBpiSW0yZktjbkN6eGM/view?usp=sharing

9. Current Stage of Development:

To be honest this game is not getting much progress since my old partner decided he didn't want to help me, (He did allow me to use resources he made though) I don't want to see this project die as I put a lot of time and effort into it, Also I believe I have I have a interesting story idea as MLP never used amnesia (yet) I think it makes for a good set up even thought it's a bit Cliché. I am a newbie at making games since this is only my first one and so I'm not really that good at making complicated stuff like a Battle system yet so it would be really helpful if someone could make me one or tell me about one I could use, I also could use a Artist and any hints you guys could give me like which of those Patches, Add Ons, or upgrades made for RPG Maker 2003 should I use and are there any MLP like Tile Sets I could use? Pretty much I'm almost a complete noob but I do know a bit about RPG Maker 2003 to a extent due to messing around with it and reading a few tutorials.

Thanks The Face of Boe I got a Intro Screen for my game now, That's one thing out of my way.

Also if anyone wants to see what I've done so far I can put up a download for the bare bones of my game, it's mostly just maps. I could also post more Story but I'd be going into Spoiler Territory.

This is a bad attitude to have. You can learn anything if you put enough time and effort into it. If you're not willing to put forth the effort for your own game, how can you expect other people to?

Post by: Rusty20 on October 21, 2014, 08:47:49 PM
I'm just bad at Art, not everyone is a artist or likes to do art it's not my thing. I could never do a very good job my eyesight is bad and I just don't have a eye for detail.

Also I've done almost every part of this game myself except Art, Battle System, A few Ideas, and the art resources my old Partner let me use.
Title: Re: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Fan Game: Mist of Memory
Post by: Acolyte on October 21, 2014, 09:38:55 PM
So basically, you made maps.
I'm not saying you have to do art. I'm just saying, being a hobbyist game designer means doing and learning things you never thought you'd have talent or interest in. I bet boe spent like five minutes on that title screen (no offense boe :S). It's something you could've done yourself in MSPaint if you took the time.
Title: Re: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Fan Game: Mist of Memory
Post by: Rusty20 on October 21, 2014, 10:16:08 PM
Basically I'm doing and learning something I don't have interest or talent in by just making this game and that's not the art I really want Title Screens and Game Over Screens are low priority (and yes I could most likely do them myself.) what I need are Battle Spirits and Map Sprites with are very hard to make even for talented artists. Also I'm ADHD (Attention Defisit Hyperactive Disorder) it makes it very hard for me to pay attention especially to things that don't Interest me I don't have a good eye for detail as my eye sight is very bad. I'll adjust my first post to reflect that sorry for the confusion. And No I didn't just make maps I've spent many long hours working on this I've worked hard on a lot of events a lot of trial and error went into making them, Learning variables was a hassle I'm terrible at math I didn't know what they did in the game for months until I figured it out most of what I found out about RPG Maker 2003 was though Trial and error. I worked hard on the story line thinking up 2 Original Characters and a original Kingdom called Polaris. My old partner who was going to do my Battle system and art bailed on me without really doing anything except giving me a really basic description of there OC Vesti La Guibba who I decided to keep in the game and keep playable because I like the Character and I'm nice other then that just letting me use his old resources he had made for earlier projects, at that point I wanted to give up but I didn't want my hard work to go to waste, and many ideas for the battle system and game in general I even made my own Party Select Screen, but remember this is only my first game and I said I want a very basic game it will be old fashion most likely comparable to the very old RPG's.

Well, I can't help you if you don't want to learn. :/
I'm not trying to be mean, it's just highly unlikely you're going to find anyone willing to do this kind of thing for you. You could use the time spent looking for other people on improving your skills.

LOL misspelled.

Also I can't do art plain and simple It's not that I don't want to it's simply not in my skill set to do it's like asking a non athletic person who is naturally weak and uncoordinated who has no interest in being a athlete to learn to do a backflip.

Although the truly big thing I need is a Battle System. Getting a artist is actually secondary as I have a couple of friends who may do it for me later. So if you know any premade battle system that would work for me or someone who will make premade simple ones for people tell me it will really speed up development on my game.

Have you tried looking in the script resources section?

I know for fact there's some in there, because I've used them. Also, if none of those fit your taste, have you looked at other RPG Maker community sites? I know Chaos Project also has a rather large script database with several CBS's in it. Take a look around, see what's out there, and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for; you're most certainly not the first person in the world making a gme like this, which means there's most certainly usable resources for you to find.

Thanks for the advice PhoenixFire, I'll try looking around the places you mentioned. The Game Features section describes basically what I need. Edit: Darn it I underestimated how hard it would be to find a battle systems for RPG Maker 2003 since it's old and considered outdated few people other then newbies use it either that or I just don't know how to find them, I'll keep looking though.

I have a poor attention span and really bad vision and I'm an artist. :mad: Anyways, you should try to make a game with one of the newer makers if this is really your first game (like VXA). The features are far greater and easier to use - and you'll find way more scripts.

Sorry If I offended you I was just saying art isn't for me, Also the newer makers are expensive anyway I'm just making a nonprofit fan game.

And darn it why did someone negative rep me what did I do

Post by: yuyu! on October 22, 2014, 05:20:53 AM
No, I wasn't really angry. If art doesn't interest you, that's really no big deal and is your personal preference. But it will be tough for you to find an artist that is willing to dedicate time and energy into a project for free - especially spriters, since their work can take a lot of time. Like Aco said, it helps to get people on board that are friends or also feel passionate about your project.

Also the newer makers are expensive anyway I'm just making a nonprofit fan game.

There's always RPG Maker VX Ace lite (http://store.steampowered.com/app/224280/). It's terrible compared to what you can do with the purchased version, but still fairly decent because you still have access to (?) VXA's awesome eventing. It's preferred for smaller games, though, and you can't use scripts in it. ;9 VXA goes on sale all the time, too, so that's definitely something to keep in mind! It's by far the easiest maker I've encountered, and allows far more freedom (on the normal version, at least).

For now I'm sticking with this Maker. The reason I'm taking the extra Step is I've played games for 20 Long years I want the thrill of being able to make one myself.

Interesting and cool but the problem is my parents control my money darn SSI, I can't buy things without there consent. They'd never agree with me buying something like this if I can just use something free like the free to use parts of something like My Little Karaoke. (Planning on asking them if I can use their Instrumental versions of the official MLP songs as the ones with words tend to distract from gameplay.) It's the same problem with a Game Maker when there's a free one like this, They see no reason to let me use my money. (PS: I know it's sad I live on my own but my parents control my money it's not my fault SSI decided it.)

Is there any demo to play, really want to lay a hoove on it. ;) /)
Even tho you might should look on steam, because the RPG Maker VX Ace is there often for about 15€.
If you use Humble Bundle or what the site is called, you can get it for 1€, sometimes.
But if you want to stick with RPG Maker 2k3 it's okay. :)
I really want to play your demo. I work myself on a MLP RPG, so very interested. :) (\s/)

Um.... you're on SSI because of your poor vision, yes? I receive SSI for poor vision. Once you turn 18 your parents are no longer legally able to control your SSI unless you have some other  (mental) condition in which the government has decided you aren't capable of managing your own finances and gave them control over your income. The fact that you live on your own suggests that that is not the case, so... open a bank account and set up direct deposit. Done.

Also, I am not one to say "pirate the game" but you are able to try the demo of the other makers free for 30 days, and if you like one, and happen to want to use it, I know that I personally have an extra copy of both XP and VX that I don't care what happens to. And yes, both are legal copies =p

Post by: Rusty20 on October 22, 2014, 10:13:10 PM
I already said I have Autism (Read my first post Introduction section the first part) that's more then enough to get me SSI but it's also enough for the Government to think I can't control my own money, Also earlier in my game development I was told by many people experienced about making games that 2k3 was easier to use, so unless I can transfer this over and it's more easy to use then RPG Maker 2003 I'll most likely stick RPG Maker 2003. Trixe I have some bare bones Maps with events in them that I could put up or I could message or put up my games ending in a Spoiler Tag. (With if I may say I have a pretty interesting and unique idea.) I basically need Battle Sprits, to make a basic demo.

Post by: PhoenixFire on October 22, 2014, 10:27:41 PM
Also earlier in my game development I was told by many people experienced about making games that 2k3 was easier to use

Personally, I find XP (and by extension, XPAce) the easiest to use, most versatile, and much more widely supported in the way of scripts and resources. In the end, it would be worth your while to switch over, IMHO.

Trixe I have some bare bones Maps with events in them that I could put up

Trixie I'm sure isn't the only one who would be interested in checking it out; I wouldn't mind seeing what you have so far, though I would certainly be of little help with actually developing anything for you in it.

Post by: Rusty20 on October 22, 2014, 10:49:24 PM
I'm working on bringing it up in Google Drive. The battle sprites, Map Sprites and a lot of skills belong to my old partner who is letting me use it The battle Sprites I tried to make my own Battle Sprite from desktop ponies is there too. I wish there was a Pony Sprite Maker or someone who already made a MLP game could let use there Sprites, the only ones I got are a few cannon Map Sprites there's Battle Sprites but they don't fit my games style. There would be more maps but I've been slightly disheartened ever since my old partner said they didn't want to help me, I got ideas for more and you can see where they are going to be as there's a empty event where the entrances will be.

... much more widely supported in the way of scripts...

I just wanted to make sure. You are aware that RM2k3 doesn't have any kind of script support right? You can't add scripts or change how the games run. You can import resources and use events. XP was the first RPG maker to include scripts. The ones before that (95 and 2k) did not have scripts.

I was just wondering because earlier you implied they should find some "RM2k3" scripts, which doesn't exist, and now are implying that more people support scripts for XP and up, and that is completely true as RM2k3, as stated before, doesn't have script support.
Title: Re: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Fan Game: Mist of Memory
Post by: Rusty20 on October 22, 2014, 11:47:57 PM
Maybe you guy are right. Although I have no idea how to script, and variables confused the heck out of me until I figured them out. I'll try RPG Maker XP's Demo. I just hope I can port my already made maps.

I tried to download it twice and both time I downloaded it I got this error:

(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1204.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb405%2FRusty20%2FMININT-R71BCJ3%2FOther%2FRPGMakerXPError_zps628272ba.png&hash=d17055ee2d4639992ab42599e717bc6d2a8d5cda)

And thinking about when I original tried to download RPG Maker I tried to get a better one first but RPG Maker XP wouldn't work so I got RPG Maker 2003.

Actually no, I never used it myself.. I just know XP and onwards are vastly superior from what I've heard and seen through this forum and Chaos Project...

wut

VXA seems a LOOOT easier to use and more flexible than XP. Unlike the previous makers, VXA basically eliminates the need to use scripts to make your game look decent because they added in a ton of cool features. Not to mention the database is amazing - especially when it comes to making equipment and classes, etc.
Title: Re: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Fan Game: Mist of Memory
Post by: Rusty20 on October 23, 2014, 01:40:49 AM
RPG Maker XP's download seems broken so I might try RPG Maker VXA lite unless someone can tell me what's wrong with XP.

Post by: yuyu! on October 23, 2014, 01:48:27 AM
I don't mean to jump in like that, but I personally had a lot of issues with getting the hang of XP - especially the mapping style. I personally don't think it's worth picking over the newer makers. Maybe VX, but not VXA. There also seems to be more resources and scripts for it.

Anyways, that's ultimately up to you. They're all good makers. B)

Post by: Rusty20 on October 23, 2014, 01:51:43 AM
I respect everyone's opinion so if I can find a Download link to XP where the game actually works though it I'll Most Likely try both and stick with my favorite of the three makers I've tried using.

I already said I have Autism (Read my first post Introduction section the first part) that's more then enough to get me SSI but it's also enough for the Government to think I can't control my own money

Ok, obviously there's no way I could know all the details of your situation, but just judging from your ability to communicate on a normal level and the fact that you're ok living on your own, I don't see why the government wouldn't give you control over your own money. Have you tried going through a government office yourself?

Sadly, as far as I know you can only transfer game from VX -> VXA, even then it's a one way trip. Once converted to VXA you can no longer open them in VX.

I did find this in my quest for something completely unrelated. - http://www.unprolive.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=7

Starfire my problem is the only nearby Psychiatrist the government uses near me is a idiot and a quack and he knows nothing about ADHD ashburgers and Autism and Boe no offense Strike is right that is a little harsh for a MLP game.

Also Strike I hadn't yet I hoped there would be a way but if there not I could remake it and consider this a early beta

I think it's hilarious in that it's both morbid and completely unfitting.

also that sucks about the psychiatrist dude.

also oops I think the start area in that upload is in the wrong area. I can fix it if you guys like.

Also in a unfitting way to MLP yes it does fit the medieval theme but Kids may play my game and I basically don't want it that morbid. My Games going to follow cannon pretty closely so that type of stuff wouldn't fit anyway.

Because it shows that in the end everything is meaningless. They entered the mist but weren't able to leave and having no other choice they ended their lives rather then live lost in the unending torment. Nothing last forever and this would be an ending that really shows what the meaning of existence is.

I may make it optional to use it if you really want. But the basic thing is remember the Mist is a basically the Magic of a Familiar Trouble Maker and only appears once, after the mist they wander into Polaris finding it in chaos because of said Troublemaker and some others he hired. While helping in Polaris they slowly start remembering things and becoming friends again. Boe I think used misjudged what I meant if they never regained there memory they would either die in battle or just give up and live in Polaris although they'd most likely get hunted and killed if they did so. Although there is one scenario in the game where I could see that happening, But saying more would be going into spoiler territory.

Ok, I thought about it a bit and I don't want to trigger any children that would be about the worst thing be kids are triggered super easy because when I was a kid I saw somebody punch a horse and I cant still see it when I close my eyes and it's horrible.

So I made this one.

Much better I'll use this one.

I'll upload the game again later with that new game over screen and the start area in the right place.

Polaris isn't completely cut off as Pegasus ponies and boats can get there, without using the hidden and remote valley, (Not to mention ponies in Polaris think the valley is haunted) but it is very remote lending to the reason why it's still so medieval. And no one there recognizes the Mane 6 because they don't get much news from beyond their kingdom.

Here's the new download everything should be right with this one:

Title: Re: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Fan Game: Mist of Memory
Post by: Rusty20 on October 23, 2014, 04:49:33 AM
It's not even a real Demo it's to bar bones mostly It's exploring my Maps although Canis Mines is a little broken but I'll fix that. Basically a few dungeons and 2 towns are finished and the main map is mostly there.

Also just noticed the well dungeon was not enterable but I'll fix that too.

have fun trying to find this games secret area's, There's 3 so far.

I'm revisiting why I hate the Canis Mines Mine Carts. Because I found another glitch.

Now that I think about it boe your right  the lingering memories of there old life would very likely drive them crazy if they didn't get killed, and very likely lead to suicide. (Even though I won't mention it in game because kids may play it, but I might insinuate it.)

I had several issues to fix but I got it done everything should work correctly this time the start area is in the right place, areas that aren't supposed to be blocked off shouldn't be blocked off, and puzzles should work in this download:

First of all, Google Drive updates your files, if you upload it on the same file, so you don't need to post the link everytime in a new post and simply can add it to your firts. ;)

Second you can download a resource pack of small ponies here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6fufbefg2uwbd6y/MLP%20starting%20pack.exe?token_hash=AAHgm3tsGopAuvqIs3ap2LeGJIbp9DEPa1d_sW5WfRcXPA&dl=1
I use some big ponies, but therefore you need to set them up on a 3x4 grid or 4x4 grid yourself. :/
Pretty much work to do, plus you need to know how to use Paint.net and the tools of it. Like Mirror, drag and drop, muli window, layering and such stuff. ;) /)

But for 2k3 and XP you need to edit them anyway, because XP has a 4x4 charactersprite set and 2k3 has complete other, I guess, used it only once. But didn't had enough options. :/

I will put the download links for each trial of RPG Maker in the spoiler:

RPG Maker XP:

RPG Maker VX:

I would recommend the Steam version of VX Ace Lite, because that way I can support you via chat on your project.
I'm allmost everytime on the day online. Mostly from 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM (GMT+1), so about 14 hours. :D

I played all the accessable areas and the mapping looks good so far. But some areas are unaccessable, like the well. Clicked on all, but none worked. ;)
The second problem is the mine area to the left. There starts a sequence and never stops.
Are there some enemies in it or not? (\s/)

Post by: Rusty20 on October 23, 2014, 11:36:42 AM
I could try VX Ace lite Steam verison (If I like it enough and it goes on sale I might upgrade it to full later.) and I could use a new partner even if there only for helping me learn.

Also that MLP starter pack is beyond awesome at least for starting out. Thank You!

If I could get some money, I can send you a copy of VX Ace from Steam. :D

the well issue was a glitch easy fix. I'll look into the mine left, do you mean the mine cart area or the other one though.

Not to nitpick, and I do like that you're active and whatnot, but out of consideration for others, instead of writing one-sentence or half-sentence replies each time you want to add something to the thread, you really should try to make some use of the "edit" button on your posts. There's 3, maybe 4 by the time I post this, pages of replies for this topic, and when it comes down to it, if you used the edit/modify options, I'm pretty sure it would still be somewhere around 2 pages.. Take out the trolling (not complaining, it's humorous to a degree), and it would possibly be down to even one. General rule of thumb for the internet: less is more. People don't like reading a ton of pages, and would rather read longer paragraphs if it means less pages.

This isn't starting over I hadn't done that much on RPG Maker 2003, it was basically a glorified early demo. And I'm going to use what I made before as a guide when redoing it in RPG Maker VX Ace.

I edited the entire thread and made it shorter, so do you guys think it's better now.
