I'm still on the fence with this. I like the idea of easily making my own RPGs on a portable system and that I can download and play other user-created levels, but I'm worried I might just become lazy about it and give up (lol) and that most of the more serious makers won't bother with the more limited 3DS version. I also have RPG Maker from one of the Humble Bundles.

It's a rough start! I beat it, it's only like 20 minutes long. Each level up gets huge stat gains so after like three levels you can steamroll anything.
It was a cute idea of a game!

Well, the ones I downloaded with the player are downloaded into save slots like save files; each one was tiny, like 2 to 5 blocks in size. I assume the ones you make work the same way.

First party goes up at midnight EST, other games update during the usual eshop update time which is around noon EST.
Nooooo, I was planning on cracking it open before bed tonight! Oh well. Thank you for the heads up.

There's something really magical about this game throwing you to the wolves and being all "Figure it out yourself idiot." It's hard and borderline frustrating, but it's fun.
Are there plans for additional tilesets? I didn't see any over lunch. I'd love a modern set.

there's a lot of "modern" dlc out for Japan (some of it for free). I expect it to come over eventually.

Oh shit! There are some amazing packs there! I hope so hard these show up here so I can throw money at them.

I'm tempted to get this - I hope the community lasts long enough to play the masterpiece I will inevitably create (it will not be very good).

I see the community dying relatively quickly...Until someone creates a game with similar penetration as Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, at which point the internet will shit their pants and everyone will start making RPGs.

Why isn't there any DLC in NA? Europe got them why not us? Need horror & Modern NOW!
It didn't seem like there would be any black characters, but there are a couple alts. Extremly happy theres a black girl with blue hair, even if she is an elf.

I figured I'd poke at the thread to see what others thought about the game.
But that. That is perfect.

So far, the only idle animation I've found is via the "Wait" command, except it doesn't actually allow any simultaneous events to occur.

eShop usually has a Thursday update so maybe then? I'd really like it ASAP as well.

I'm actually doing ok at creating a The Witch's House inspired horror game with the base set but yeah, want that dlc. NISA YOU HAVE FAILED!
I hope yall play my game when I'm done with it, but it will be janky. Only save at save points is all I'm saying lol.
Also found out "fuck" and "shit" can't be typed but "damn" can. So glad gay or lesbian wasn't banned or I'd be pissed since I plan to create many lesbian stories. As long as nothing related to transgender is banned then we good,
Anyway to change game over music? Or have an npc give you an item only when you have another item? Its alot to take in as someone who doesn't know much about game dev at all. Only played four and ahalf hours. Can't stop.
Pretty much finished with 2/20ths of my game. It takes awhile and its now only about 3 minutes long. >_<
Are there jumpscares in the horror DLC btw? Trying to lookup anything online and I basically can't find anything. Which is shocking considering how long its been out in Japan.
Also must say I am surprised at so many even options. Upto 99 text boxes in a row sure is something. Also nice variety of character art. Dunno why they don't advertise it all. Hope its a success!
This thread should already be 70+ pages of hype. Its that good. SMH NeoGAF.

I'm mobile, so pardon my poor response.
1) For the item question, create an event with multiple pages. You can set the triggers on page 2 to include "Hero is holding a specific item".
2) I can't find a way to change the game over music.
3) Jump scares can be done by having effects trigger on an event as you walk over a space. There likely are no screaming zombie witches or anything like that.
Learn to use switches and timers and triggers and stuff. There's a lot of power in this little package, but you'll have to get creative to get the most out of it.

This is way more intuitive than I thought. Not gonna touch combat yet, but I should have a fully functional ferch-quest/exploring-style game fully functional within the week. I'm so proud of myself for figuring out how to trigger events based on holding items given to you by other NPCs!
It's more an interactive story than anything I guess, but I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Alright. Thanks!
Will have to mess around with it more to truly see all the options. Really happy with this purchase.

Haha, my NA copy has a printing error on the case. The front says it's E 10+ but the back rating is just E.
Is there a guide for this?
I want to make something where you play as the monsters, but after a play around yesterday I'm not even sure if that's possible
I was also trying to lock people in to a path with what I thought were small trees, but seemingly people can walk over them and houses. I need a was to make an event spread across a fairly large area, which I'm fairly sure is possible

I was setting "Just watch" as dialogue and it thought I was putting down "T wat", haha
To design monster characters you just have to set the player character graphics to monster sprites in the party editor (their icon is the black wolf face with the glowing eyes).Is there a guide for this?

And while most objects have predetermined colision data you can customize the colision for each map. If you press B im the map editor there will pop up a menu screen on the lefthand border. There should be a button that reads Colision. Press it and you'll be able to edit the colisions on the next screen.
There's also the e-manual on the Home screen of course.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
The OP says a game can be max about 1 meg, how does that translate into how much content can be put in?
Thanks. I'm in work but I'll give that a look later

Well after about 6 hours I have about 8 minutes worth of game and its at 10%. but I think it started at 8% full so it can be pretty big if I only used up 2%. Keep in mind I am creating more of a horror/puzzle/no battle game and it may use up more if you do a lot of battles. But overall it seems pretty big.
While I like the look of some of the assets and the Mario Maker-esque upload system, the memory size limit for your game and lack of features compared to their PC equivalents (though understandable) makes this title a pass for me. Might check out what the community comes out with on occasion, though the quality of the titles within the first few years will probably be...well bad.
Exit Fate? To the Moon? Lisa?

I'd rather say Vampires Dawn, Unterwegs in Düsterburg and others from an era when rpg maker games were made by passionate people who weren't after the money.

I downloaded a game through the player that requested additional content be downloaded to play it. Clicked its link and attempted to find it, found absolutely nothing behing the wall.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
They're not up on the US store yet.
Yeah, I'm guessing that was one of the Japanese titles rights? it looks like you won't be able to play games w/o having the additional content downloaded. This currently isn't possible since the content isn't available for US servers yet. So, we'll either be stuck only being able to download US games or other region's games might be playable once their assets become available for download. We'll see.
Lol. What? Is there something wrong with passionate people wanting to be able to make a living off of their work? It's not like the 2k/2k3 age was a shining beacon of indie development. I can only hear Chrono Trigger music and look at ripped assets so many times lol. It had its memorable titles but let's not pretend the whole scene was ruined by current makers allowing users the option to monetize their titles. There's still plenty of developers out there releasing their VX/Ace/MV games for free these days anyway.
no, but I have still way more respect for those, who create something for the sake of creating something great (call it self-fulfilment if you will) versus those who do the same with the slight hope that they may be able to monetize it in the future.

That's still a thing, but it's just hidden in niche corners of the internet. People see successful projects made with RPG Maker, Game Maker, MMF, etc and get excited about their chances. It's only after failure that they realize the hobby nature of their game making days.
