RPG Maker FAQ/Q&A/Screenshot Thread

Sorry for hijacking your thread Dimentio, but I'm going to use this space for an FAQ when I have the time. Anyways, continue posting stuff about RPG Maker in here. ~Lucas




A thread I thought up by looking through all the forums and found not a trace of. You can just post demos or completed games, resources, tutorials, links to usefull tools, music, and the such. Let me start:

This a Koopa sprite I ripped, can be used for side view battler

A Mario charecter that I ripped from a sprite sheet

My pic, can be used for a battler ^~^

A demon knight made by me

A female knight made by me

You can post anything here related to RPG maker, including scripts and help topics, but to prevent flaming and fights, please only post resources designed by you, only post others stuff with their premission (IE: Ripped resources and scripts from other games and such).

I don't wish to sound selfish at all, but a sticky maybe? Zero percent nessicary though ^~^
Follow me on Hermitscape for random bits of game design talk and pixel art, or even request something for me to draw.

Actually, this does seem like a good topic to sticky. A centralized hub for resources and help / questions on RPG Maker sounds like a good idea, rather than the forum drowning in question topics.

*gets the hammer and nails, looking for the nearest telephone pole*
I've got a game on rpgmaker xp.

Actually, I have 2 on xp and one on Vx, but two of the 3 were abandonned so far and all that is left is this last project on XP.

After relatively failures (I still think my first game on XP is the best strangely, but my last seems better in many ways). I'm french and I go on french sites for help, but luckily, all of my three games are in english.

The names are in order of making:

Quest of the 100 adventres
Brief history: You wake up in what seems to be a military camp. You don't remember much of your past. According to the few people that are still in the camp, you were sleeping uncountious for over 2 years!
Then, you go see the chieftain of the camp, which doesn't care at all about who you are, he automatically sends you on multiple missions in the only goal of making the whole camp more popular, as, it was never really known (and even built in the middle of the forest where no one ever goes). Doing missions, you save the world and slowly know more about yourself. The whole game should have 100 quests, but it sticks to 9 so far, for a total of ~2 hours.

Path of dormancy
Brief history: You're an adolescent with a very annoying sister. You suck at school, she rocks at school. One day, the last day of the year, you are really late, you decide to take the eastern path as it is quicker (but more dangerous) and you meet with a man that is sleeping for VERY long. Strangely enough, right as you pass by him, he wakes up, saying you must save the world. He hands you a stone and then dies. Not really trying to understand this very weird scene, the hero heads right back at school. Later, when he goes to sleep, he makes a dream... he sees the old man. Then, something happens... the stone... it triggers something. It opens a door. It's the door between the world of dayn (actual world) and the world of dreams.
Lasts about 2 hours.

Confusion RPG (current one)
Brief history: In a time when there were mighty knights with shiny smiles, when princess got kidnapped by dragons on purpose to be saved by that very knight: Valdorius. One day, an oracle comes in the kingdom and claims that something will destroy the world. Not really sure weither it is reliable or not, the kingdom forces Valdorius in finding a apprentice. Not really happy of this tasks, Valdorius picks out the worst thing ever. A video game nerd. Later on, the oracle reveals that the chosen one that will save the world IS ths nerd!
Lasts about 30 minutes, the demo is pretty old though.

HERE

All of my games are humor-oriented while still keeping a quite epic side. I post my older presentation pages (not for the actual presentations, as it's french, but for the pictures...)
Our world will stop advancing once humans manage to create sufficient magnificence for a whole lifetime. Until then, I just create.
Awesome video game music on my youtube channel
me and my friend were making the most retarded RPG for RPGMaker VX, it was about Tetris believe it or not, all but the stick tetris block are gone and you have to get them back to "finish the game" you face up against Bowser, Eggman, Dr. Wily so far, your party members are neglected Nintendo characters like the Yoshi Cookie and Exitebike, its so stupid XD but i'm actually motivated to finish it
I think a post layout goes here somewhere...

Layout by Tom Servo
I'm currently making an RPG related to youchewpoop using RPGM2003.

It ain't nothing special, but it isn't terrible at least.
HEY LOOK BUDDY. I'M AN ENGINEER.
I've was trying to make a game that was like super smash bros that involves swap outs of all characters so you can change to another. I lost it all last year.
Working on new project : Paper Mario : SNES Edition (Need relatively good spriter, along with some experience with sprite sheets)
Hey there RPG makers, I made a random load of SMWCentralites with a character maker and GIMP. They are compatible with RPG Maker VX, but I'm not sure about the others.



Kyo and ArBe included because you always need villains :P

EDIT: Part 2:


Those sprites have just reminded me of a very old VX project I was working on about this site... I remember that you play as a new user trying to become a legendary SMW Hacker, but to do so you must best all the Admin's at their best skills. I abandoned it quite early on, like I always did with those projects.

Yay, Lymia!...Wait, where's Raibys?

Sigh, I always make up these epic storylines for RPGs...then I can't pull them throught the Game Making Process...Maybe I'll post my Story here, then someone could make the game! :D
Edit1:Darkrai, that's a good idea. I make stories up as I go. I'm stronger in the follow-through, but don't expect much... I do little by little...

Edit:Oh, and don't forget this site with tutorials:
http://www.rpgmaker.net/tutorials/

Well, I recently stumbled upon RPG Maker, so here's a tutorial on making a platform movement. (like SMW) I don't understand it though. It uses events. (RPG Maker 2003/RPG Maker 2000)

I can't pixel-draw Raibys XP
Edit:Before you say wrong editor, try using Game Maker, or something to that effect, its for like a minigame and/or CBS(custom battle system). You will be in the credits and all that.
Oh, and does anyone know how to event the platformer type movement into RPG Maker 20003? I put a tutorial I didn't understand in my previous post...
Here is a base game for link/zelda fans:
http://www.picceta.com/downloadgames/zelda-rm2k3-starter-pack/

Note: I just found this. I didn't make it. It comes with moblins (found in A Link to the Past, I think), the menu screen for the same game, Link from the Minish Cap, bombs, bow and arrows, and the sword (all in Minish Cap style). The problems with it (that I see) are:

1. You only get hit when you run into their faces (fix by changing
the event start thing to touched by hero),

2. They never follow you, just wander around (fix by adding guard
thingy into each moblin and add a chase mode), and

3. the menu screen just doesn't fit with the Minish Cap style.


Rips from M&L:BIS. It was very tedious work to get the walking animations to look right. Feel free to use, but make sure to put a dollar sign in front of the name when saving.

This is a WIP character that'll be one of Mario's partners in my game.



Basically just a purple koopa in sunglasses. I'm still working on his personality. Any suggestions?

A suggestion for his personality? Well, when I see him, the first thing that comes to mind is that he's a villainy koopa. But since you said he's also Mario's partner, how about you make him as a koopa who does good AND bad things?
He looks like he has a Boshi personnalty, 'cause he looks just like him.
Snob, talkin' like that. That kinda stuff.

Hmm... Would it be okay if I posted a video here in a couple of days to show off a project I was working on a few months ago? Just wanna' make sure before I embed it and it's somehow against the rules. :b

Just don't go overboard, like four videos in a couple posts or something, and it should be fine... Also, you could post some screenshots along with the videos.
