Hi I'm new to the community. :bye:
Just saw this thread and thought it looked interesting to see your opinions as well as share mine ( good to know what you guys like in a game/don't like in a game rpg maker xp wise )
So. I voted for:
Gameplay: This is really important to me, I feel like if a game has fun or new game style it would be enjoyable to play.
Story/Plot: You need something to keep the player interested unless your game-plays super amazing or innovative that it doesn't need a plot e.g monster hunter or Sims.
Characters: You can't have a good story without good characters, this is also important
and lastly Mapping: The game world needs to fit it all together not like e.g a cyber punk but then you have medieval characters with swords unless you make them cyber medieval gladiators with light sabers it might look...er?...or a large pyramid in the middle of the snow, actually that might be cool but you know what I mean. It's good to be creative but you need to think about the setting too.
Hope I'll be posting more, Hi to all of ya! :alright: ( P.S nice smiley's )
