Biggest game?

I have two questions...

1. What is the biggest game ever made with RPG Maker?

2. When is a game too big?

a game is never too big if it's got a great story line. if it's story is bad a game can be too big with even 2 or 3 maps. 

Thanks. The reason I'm asking is cause my game's story lasts about a year and a half. I can't put anything in it that would skip a lot of time though, so I was wondering how long would be too long.

I would have to say if your going to make a HUGE epic story...split the game into different releases. have the first one leave off at a AWSOME cutscene that would make people get the next one..this way the ONE big one wont get too long.

lol, My Game is Big that I had to divide it in Volumes =D

Mostly If your planning to make it so the Player can add the Saved file of the 1st Volume, remember to make a Map in the first one where it would start the Player =. and don't change the Characters if your adding more or the spells...(Things from the Original One (Except the events) should stayed the same like a Copy otherwise the game gets kinda glitchy)

=) My game is Long, and have over 234 Maps Already in it...but mostly is because of them been many Cutscenes and small Event Areas that are played Once.

Volumes? Sounds like a good idea... Its kinda like the .Hack games. I might try that.

234 maps?! Wow...

Yep, this way you'll save more Time when your going to make Part two, and it would keep everyone Wanting for more =D

Leaving at a Point of High Tension...making One want to know "What Happens Next? I Wanna Know!!!"

Making people wait for the Next Volume excites them a lot, =) just to know what Happens next.

Something I quite Enjoy xD and you would have a lot of Fun at the Same time =D

I know just the spot to start the 2nd part...

I dunno...I've heard of a game thats 60+ hours long and ( I think) finished. What the name is I have no clue. I've only heard rumors of AN RPG Maker game. This was, of course, on GamingW. It was a game for 2003 I think (Since most people there use it.)

?_? I never knew of such game...

But I mostly like it to separate mines in Volumes at least =/

I've heard of a series called "Laxius Power". The maker's indinera, he's sometimes active on my forum. (since my sig isn't visible right now: www.chaosproject.co.nr )
You can ask him where tog et his game. I think it was over 100 hours and 1000 maps.

Ah, yes! Thats what it was called. Thanks Bliz

Thats one hell of a long game, IMO. How could a person make such a thing ? o.o

I think he is making the 4th part right now. xD
He often asks me some questions about scripting. =)

Because your an awsome scripter =D

yes I'm playing Laxius power 1 now... seems very long.
I already have items like in the middle of ff7... and the game is not even half way. maybe 30h played.
seems to me like one of the best rpgmaker games. well designed.
though there's lots of naughty jokes, and some of the pictures are definetely not like ff7
- what I mean that some pics are in the adult theme, and mostly for males btw.
Where are the topless muscle warrior men? 

Yeah, I feel my game is epic too. I already have the majority of the story down (THIS HELPS SO DAMN MUCH) and I split it into 50 "Episodes" Each with a title that pertains to it, with about an estimated 1 hour per episode. SOO THIS GUNNA BE CRAZY. But if you think about it, the avg. RPG is 30-50 hours long.

In your case, volumes sound pretty good.
