My name is YelloMagic, and I'm taking the world Beyond Temptation.

[YelloMagic 1]

Hey, all my nerd droogs. I've always considered myself a "creative" type, a film & music buff, and I happen to enjoy playing video games as well. For years, I hoped to unite these disparate interests, but to no avail. The original RPG Maker kinda sucked, since it was ugly, hard to use, and had no way to import outside resources. But as of May of this year, I've been convinced that such a fusion IS possible. That fusion will be known as... Beyond Temptation. As I imagine it, Beyond Temptation will be equally influenced by Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Trainspotting, Twin Peaks, and vintage electronic music (ESPECIALLY synthpop, which often sounds curiously similar to the music from Super Nintendo games). As an English major with hardcore lit credentials, I also hope to introduce a level of plot and character development that's pretty uncommon to video games (foreshadowing! symbolism! dramatic irony! and so on). But the whole thing's going to be played mostly for laughs. I want to spoof cliches in RPG video games and draw comparisons between their admittedly silly tropes ("secret" princesses, amnesia, plots to take over/blow up the world and the like) and the most classic examples of melodrama, soap operas! Rest assured, I'm no hater. EarthBound, the really good Final Fantasies (YOU know which ones I'm talking about... don't you?) and Chronos Cross and Trigger consumed a fair portion of my childhood... time well spent. This isn't an RPG for people who don't like RPGs... it's an RPG for fans with a healthy sense of humor (and irreverence). But to achieve a finished product on the scale I've imagined (at least 30 hrs to beat), I'll need some help. I'm starting to get pretty good with the program's mechanics, and have begun designing my own characters and objects (to a certain extent), so I wouldn't mind returning the favor.

What's left to say, welcome. I'd have to say bravo on such a grand entry into the world or RMXPU. You may call me Crym the scripting student to help improve the number of RGSS knowledgeable in the community. I'm hoping that we've all shown encouragement for you to stick around for the extra help.

Hi! if you need resource sites, look at my "resource sites" thread.

[YelloMagic 1]

What's the proper etiquette for using resources? I'm going to thank and give credit to anyone who created an outside resource in my game- should I ask them for permission, too, or are all of the uploaded resources available for public use? I'm definitely not planning on releasing this game for a profit or giving it any kind of media exposure; my soundtrack isn't exactly copyright-secured, so I couldn't, even if I wanted to. This is just for me and whoever else I can convince to play.

The resources that have been uploaded to RMXP's resource area are free to use. It's polite to give credit where credit is due, though.
