Hey, I was wondering if anyone out their is an experianced user of RPG Maker (for computer). I know I surely am. If I'm not playing an RPG, than I'm making one. I know, I know, people say its "ot worth the hassle" and "you can't do enough". But I assure you, you can do a LOT on RPG Maker! Sure it takes hours apon hours, but its AWSOME! I've made about 17 RPGs. Finished 2. Ha! Anywho, the 2 I Finished are about 7 hours each (if you do all the side quests and everything) if anyone wants 'em, I can send them to you. I was just wondering what other people thought of RPG Maker.

I was using rpg maker for a good 4 months and yes it is easy to program but then i realised that you could never make any real graphics and making sprites is a bitch.but its alright for 2d i guess.

We'll, just hope they actually begin to get into the 3d graphics for the PC version.

I'm so glad you have the patience Magus. :)

-_-

Well, I have yet to complete one, but I'm fairly good at it. I use VX and XP.

I deal with rpgmaker. I have made 2 games so far, not completed... I am working on one for rpgmaker xp, which is the one before vx. I imagined a small crowd knowing about the rpgmaker engines but none of you know at all... :(

and about the spriting part, it all depends... very rare people make games for profit, so you can always make fangames, and the whole original from scratch spriting is just a plus, as there is also the RTP and public domain graphics that people make specially so others can use them. I deal with rpgmaker for leisure, as well my games use rips and edits of some of some games, besides fun, as tribute.

I use the RPG Maker 2000 for 5 years allready. In europe we got a real big Scene of RPG Maker Users and Games.

Check out "Vampires Dawn 2", "Eternal Legends" and, "Unterwechs in D�sterburg" !! The very best Games are "Final Fantasy Zero" and "Velsarbor".

If you are lucky you can find englisch patches for some of them.
