dolarmak 23 Report post Posted October 2, 2010 Hey every one, just gonna give a brief of myself. I've been working with RPG Maker for nearly 15 years, I started with RPGMaker95 back in the day, then got RPGMaker2000, and used that for a long time. I've made 6 games, all of which are now lost because of file corruption and a bad host. Most of the games I've made were orignals, but I did make a short Final Fantasy 1 sequal I called 'Final Fantasy 1.5'. Since I lost that I decided to revive the game on the RMXP to test it. The game shouldnt be too long, and since the game rips 90% of the graphics, music and sounds from FF1 its relitively easy to do. Tho I will need to completely remake the battle engine, thats the only point of major code, everything else is basic. I have another game on the table as well, its a Red Dwarf game ala Lost Vikings. I've only got a basic idea and was thinking of trying out Game Maker 8 to make that. I used to be one of the best Mappers in my old communities, so maybe I'll give people hints and tips on that. RMXP doesnt look terribly different from 2K in that mapping aspect so my advice should still be good lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dolarmak 23 Report post Posted October 2, 2010 Polraudio: its really a matter of opinion and familiarity. After using a program for over 10 years you tend to like it more than the others of its type. For example the fight between Photoshop and Illustrator or PC vs Mac. I'm so used to using RM2k that I could make a game in a fraction of the time it would take me in another program. Ive coded my own atb, menus, and hundreds of puzzels. Emanzi: Yeah it sucks, but not everything was from 1 event. I lost 2 games from a crappy host and my old computer died I lost them too. the others were lost when I got a virus and my files became corrupted. I still have one, but I'm unmotivated to finish it. As for being a Master, the system in RMXP is slightly different and it'll take me a while to get used to it. Thats why im going to revive an old game since i know what i want, I can test without being worried about it. Tho I admit I'm a really good mapper and my pixel art isnt too bad. I was pretty good with sprites and tilesets, so i dont expect that to ave changed much at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
