im think of making my own game

[kegan]

so you've seen the RPG maker and stuff right well I've seen some ads for some and I'm thinking of making my own.

im just wondering if there's anything i should know.

Rpg maker VX, not XP, what I did is got both, and transfered all the songs from XP to VX, besides that, i recommand watching the "how to" vids because VX has a lot of good things that they don't tell you. I'v used it for years and still don't know what it can do when in the hands on an expert. Good luck and have fun.

I like Step 4,lol. Rpg Maker is such an easy program to use, it requiers no Codeing what so ever and with its inport and export system, adding sprites and sound is simple.

that's like stealing a game....your just changing whats in it.... no the game its self...

After you try Rpg Maker, you'll know what I'm talking about. In now way is it stealing a game.

*sigh* why must I have urges to post?

RPG Maker isn't stealing, its simply using artwork and sprites which other people made for you to twist and turn into your own; however, there is (last i did like 2 years ago) a way to create your own, and code your own with it.... but RPG maker is not a "serious" good game maker. Its there for people (like the above) who have no knowledge on how to create a REAL game, and make their own and be able to call it theirs.... And IMHO it's boring... as hell.... just like creating any game is (which is why I don't create games, I just create ideas).


Just my $5 on it
