[Merte]

Are there any good RPG maker games set in present day out there? Like Earthbound for instance.

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.

[Arrow]

Oooh, sounds like fun!

[Lavata]

I'm also in the process of making a game =O

Can't give anything away yet though...

[Yossy]

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.

[Lavata]

I almost gave up trying to make stories and games..not many people, if any, seem to like them.      

[Arrow]

Don't give up man, that's just lame...

[Merte]

yeah. you always get better and better.

[Lavata]

Oh.  Im not quiting.  Im in the procss of making another one.  Not very much RTP (if any), side-view battle-system, MP3's...and thats about it =O

*big cough*

Yeah, I know it´s not done, but gimme some more time.

[mechadragoon14]

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.....

[Yossy]

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.

[Merte]

I tried it. It sucks.

[Land of Vita]

I tried it. It sucks.

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.

[Fantom]

Who is Don Miguel? Is he like the godfather of RPG maker or something? Sorry if this sounds noobish but i dont tend to keep up with this kind of thing

I think he is the creator of the Columbine RPG.

[thingy]

clearly you haven't used RPG maker that long

[Yossy]

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

[XPhater]

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.
