DarkDrai 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Hi, all. I used to use the RPG Maker a long time ago when RM2k was still big. I also made some stuff in the RM2k3, and somewhat dabbled in RMXP when it first came out, though I lost interest at some point around there. I recently found out about RMVX and it's made me want to get back into the game. I don't know if anyone knows of it, since I haven't been online on any forums in a really long time, but I used to hang out on RPG Infinity a long time ago... Don't know if that's relevant, but yeah... Anyway, VX seems cool, though for some reason there are bugs in the default scripts that cause strange errors when I try to do normal things, and I don't know how to fix them. Either way, I've got a game idea that is probably best handled by XP. I'm joining this forum in the hopes that I'll get some help and support in developing my game(s), since Google doesn't seem to be helping me much... >.< I'm a complete n00b to RGSS(2) scripting, although I know a fair amount of C++ and I know how to program, assuming I know the syntax. My devotion to anything is rather shaky at the moment, due to some things going on in my life right now (or rather, NOT going on...), but I hope to make some new friends and possibly even help some people out a bit, myself. As far as my specialties go, I'm good at programming, but my forte is design. My dream is to become a professional video game designer and lead a team in developing my own game ideas (of which I have many). I look forward to getting to know all of you. ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Wow you been around for some time with RPG Maker. Welcome to RMXPU. If its support you need then you came the the right place. :) Knowing C++ will help you lots if you are planning on going into the field. Im in college right now for Video Game Design.

Chief 30 Report post Posted October 11, 2010 hey now, we're talking the original 2k. not 2k3. Funny though, the only real difference in the two was the battle system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkDrai 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Edit: Actually, I used both. And trust me, there was more of a difference than that, though it's not as obvious. You know, if it weren't for the graphical upgrades, I'd still prefer rm2k3... It has the most flexibility and options for eventing, and the maps aren't too bad, either. I hate the default battle system, but I always planned a CBS in the games I made, so it wasn't really a problem. I understand the potential power of scripts, of course, but mastering it takes so much time and effort, it doesn't seem worth it overall. I'm trying to learn it since I'm working in XP right now, but I can't seem to get anything to work. (See my thread in the RMXP Support forum.) I actually kind of lost interest in the RPG Maker before because all of my files got corrupted as I was working on my game. I think I lost my entire database, actually, including all the common events I had just painstakingly created the night before. I recreated a few of them, but there were too many to fully restore from sheer memory. Currently, the game is playable up to the end of the first quest, and while it has no actual bugs to speak of, it has no battle system in place. Even so, my friends that I've shown it to recently have been impressed with what little I have; the intro cinematic is fairly elaborate, and you can do the events in the beginning in any order, such as entering the cave with or without recruiting an extra party member, or skipping an event where you stop someone from falling into the water. I doubt I'll be continuing that game, but I've got some other ideas that I plan on putting some effort into. Hopefully I won't have the same problem as before... >.< Edited October 11, 2010 by DarkDrai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

synchronicity 6 Report post Posted October 22, 2010 Welcome to the site DarkDrai! :) Getting into video game design professionally sounds so cool, I'd never be able to do it since there's so much technical stuff to learn, but you sound well on your way to doing it if you already know programming :P I'm sure you'll find the help you need here and no one is expecting diehard devotion from you, so you should be fine ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
