~raise hand~ I'm here

[Crym 10]

Hi there folks, you can call me Crym. I've been working with RPG Maker for many many years working with friends on a few game's but they all gave up before the game's really even got past concept. I take pride in everything I do, so generally I'll see anything I start on to the end, unless I get to busy and have to postpone something indefinitely. I'm pretty good with almost all aspects of game development, I'm no good at scripting and I'm no musician, that's not to say that I can't get better at what I can already do well of course. As to why I'm here, scripting, I'm hoping that if I hang out around here long enough the scripting know how of the community will eventually rub off on me and I'll eventually understand it.

Welcome to the forums, Crym!

 

I also want to learn RGSS (Saw your other thread) and if I may, an easy to read and follow tutorial (first) can be found here. I find it easy to read, and I hope it helps you. CNG will be making more he said :)

hi there! welcome tp the forums and good luck with your scripting lessons. it would be awesome if there was an actuall lesson for such stuff and not just those tutorials. i cant udersant most of the time...:)

Ah thanks for the link Crimson, though that sort of thing I already understand, I know what variables, functions, and methods are, I just can't seem to figure out how to make them become the pretty pictures and shiny lights on the screen, not sure why that seems so hard. I've been spending today editing the windows and scenes in RMXP and I've figured out the basics of moving things around like putting the status window on the left side and the command, playtime, steps, and gold windows on the right side as well as adding more commands that currently do nothing. Window's seem to be the easiest thing to edit, mostly I'm hoping to be able to create my own CMS and CBS from scratch. I guess I'll be teaching myself slowly, very very slowly till someone can help me with learning the more advanced stuff like a CBS, I know everyone is busy so no worries I'll get there eventually on my own.

Oh by the way, um nevermind I forgot (I wonder why I don't just delete this rather than typing up the fact that I forgot what I was going to type)

Sup! :P

This is probably the best place to learn scripting. So I know you'll be successful in your scripting lessons.

[Crym 10]

Thanks for the support, rgangsta. I'm hoping I can start actually understanding this stuff so I can be of some use to the community.

Welcome to the forums! What's your favorite video game?

[Crym 10]

Hm, favorite video game, that's a tough question. Hard to narrow it down, I'd say as far as favorite series it's a tie between Suikoden and Breath of Fire. I'm not a fan of the Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter it just doesn't seem like it belongs and it seemed to have been developed with "defeat the player" in mind. Suikoden would have to be one of the greatest series in the RPG genre and quite easily takes the #1 spot for most obtainable characters throughout the game.

 

I guess my favorites of these series would be Suikoden II and Breath of Fire IV but then again it's debatable as I could probably say the same about Suikoden III and Breath of Fire III. If you've not played either of these series I highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend them and if you have then you know what I'm talking 'bout.

 

Now as far as game's released in the past 5 years I have to say my favorite would be Eternal Sonata, probably the only decent RPG released in recent years in my opinion. I think that would have to be because it took something similar to the old Super Mario RPG battle system and combined it with a Tales of Phantasia battle system, then made it better, that along with the over all story and the fact that it was somewhat educational which is pretty important. I have to admit I did cry at the end when Polka "falls" off the cliff, and the final boss was a huge shocker.

This is almost exactly what I wanted to say, but I'm pretty bad at explaining things.
