Welcome to GDU. You should tell us some stuff about you.

RM2k3 doesnt have scripts so if you wanted to add stuff like a new menu, crafting system, etc.... you will only be able to do it with very very complex events that could take days to make. With XP you just add a script, get the call script command and done. For XP I use to use this battle system. http://www.gdunlimited.net/scripts/rpg-maker-xp/custom-battle-scripts/sideview-battle-system-tankentai-xp MV i think has a side view battle system. you can switch it from front or side view just like RM2k3. and it also has the ability to have scripts so you can change whatever, and add whatever. Theres also a free weekend on steam for MV if you want to check it out.

UNITY! OH wait this is an rpg maker topic :P. But yea as Kushi said MV would be your best bet. Once you get use to it you can start programming. dont get intimidated by programming, its alot easier than it looks but it takes time to learn.

RPG Maker MV is having a free weekend so if you used up your trial or want to give it login to steam head to the page for the rpg maker and click use now. Go here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/363890/ Click on this: http://i.imgur.com/Bx2V7iH.jpg I don't own it so it should look like that for everyone. HAPPY MVing! *Goes back to unity*

What you need to ask yourself first is do I really need an alpha/beta? Alpha/betas should only be done if you need testing done. Its not really needed to demonstrate something(you could easily make a video for that). If you release something to early it could lead to people losing interest before the game is actually out. Your best bet is to tease people with videos. For an example. I didn't even want to release an alpha of my game Mine Clicker till I actually had a fully playable version of the game from start to finish. All my testing was done in private with friends at first, then once all the major bugs were taken care of I did a public release to really find the bugs, then after that I took care of those problems, added more features then released it. I know as a game dev you really want to get your game out there ASAP but the reality of it is that you need to question yourself if you really need an alpha/beta. For my new game im working on im not going to have public testing otherwise it may make people bored of the game before the release. Ill show things like videos and screenshots of it to build the hype but never release a public alpha/beta unless I REALLY need it. That is my experience that I had so far with game development. Hopefully this was helpful.

Interesting.. cant wait to see what it is :thumbsup:

Yes its all in the past so lets just focus on the present and future(that never comes because its always the present :P). So lets just welcome leon back with open arms :thumbsup:.

I knew all along(you prob knew i knew). I just didn't want to say anything till you were ready. It takes some serious balls to come out and say it. I hold nothing against you and im glad you finally said it. It would be nice to have you back here. We had some good times back in the day. If you want your username changed i can do it for you, just tell me what you want it to be. EDIT: you could try to learn unity or rpg maker MV.

Good thing you had a backup. As for the future of the site if it comes down to it ill take over if the community decides they want to keep it and if you don't want to have anything to do with it. Personally the only reason id keep it around is for a place to hang out but i suppose its an expensive place to hang out lol. In the end we always have other places to hang out like teamspeak, the steam group, IRC, Curse, a free forum we can make, etc... If anyone wants to discuss the future of the site or just a place to talk over voice/chat i have a 10 person teamspeak server. Just send me an PM and ill give you the address. Im usually in it when im home.

I never really got into doom but this one actually looks good.

wow new year was 3 months ago...

Its an improvement in every way to all the other rpg makers except the mapping. i dont know what pot they have been smoking lately when making the mapping systems but it just sucks.... still better than xv/ace tho as bob said.

Wish i had days off of work. I had to work all weekend :(

Hey there chief, long time no see. Always glad to see you pop in here once in a while to show us something you been working on. As always im amazed what you manage to make. Love the simplistic look of it. Hopefully you continue this enough to finish it. :thumbsup:
