Bah, forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to get some of these working. .flow is just refusing to play for me.
It would be pretty amazing if he could actually finish the game... or do a sizeable chunk. But AFAIK he's a one man army... Still, even what he's done so far is quite a feat.Originally Posted by legacyzero
OH DAMN. That's awesome!
Can you say what specific error you're getting, if any?Originally Posted by cosmicblizzard

Learn Ruby The Hard WayOriginally Posted by Dusk Golem
I am right now adding a lot to the OP, but a request of sorts.
Does anyone have any good links to tutorials, guides, resources, and helpful links to those who would like to develop for RPG Maker?
Think it might be useful, and was wondering if anyone has anything they know of?
Will link it, but anyone here have any feedback on this? Also of course an other resources for RPG Maker development or more games to suggest.Learn Ruby The Hard Way
Best introduction to Ruby, which RGSS is a modified version of, ever.
That sounds like an awesome bonding experience.Originally Posted by piratepwnsninja
I actually bought copies of RPG Maker VX Ace for my son and I to make a game together. Should be a fun project. Some people might ask why I'd want to work on a game in my spare time when I work on games as a job, but I really like doing it that much. Plus, my son is really interested in doing it too.
Oh God, that reminds me how I was making a "humorous" adventure game in it because I was bored on my trip to Vienna with my cousin.Originally Posted by Phonomezer

Visual novel:Originally Posted by Persona86
This is kind of inspiring, I'm going to try a few of these.
Damn now I feel like trying to make a game. Which program would you guys recommend for a more visual novel style game? or mixed with an rpg style?
Ah I see, well nothing concrete yet, I think I knew about all this and the programs in the past, I remember downloading Ren'py, it's just all a blur now haha, thanks for the reminder. :)But if you do want to do an RPG/VN hybrid, it's much easier to code VN elements into RPG Maker than it is to code RPG elements into Ren'Py.
I would say no. I and some friends did a similar thing when we were kids which involved people we know, lots of immature jokes and all that. Really had some good laughs seeing the results of each other, but I really think that an adult person doesn't have the "Throw it in because why not"-mentality that kids have and the jokes would be more predictable and not done on a gut level.Oh God, that reminds me how I was making a "humorous" adventure game in it because I was bored on my trip to Vienna with my cousin.
It was about umm... oh, well...
A knight's quest for the old wizard's house. He went to him because that's who the king got his sandwich from and it looked so tasty that the knight wanted one as well. It was totally random and consisted of lots of puns and parodies: from various games (hell, we even copied a few gameplay/design ideas from our favourites) to Monty Python to Eurovision to TV (one of few actual enemies was a group of... Power Rangers) and made no sense whatsoever.
We were kids and basically our creation process was "let's add it because why not". It was so stupid, but we had lots of fun.
Maybe I should get back to it?
This game is amazing. I played it for the first time a few weeks ago and I still can't stop thinking about it.Originally Posted by Dusk Golem
To The Moon is currently a flash sale on Steam.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend to anyone who likes story-based games.
I've been very glad to see people here loving Yume Nikki. It really is a gem though, both different than anything before it, and very well executed with some fantastic custom graphics, sound, and just overall design to create a very unique atmosphere.Originally Posted by Conciliator
Yume Nikki is magnificent. I never finished it(and never will), but my experience was extremely compelling. I have played very few games ever with atmosphere as effective and captivating as Yume Nikki. Profoundly beautiful in its own melancholy, sinister way.
Yeah, it was, but it was also legitimately upsetting. Mad Father's ending was also pretty fucked up, but it was more like an "oh shit" feeling in a horror sense rather than what we get with Witch's House.Originally Posted by Dusk Golem
Yai, it did really help put things into perspective though and thought it was a good ending.
I really enjoyed Witch's House as well. It definitely out of the recent RPG Maker horror games put me on edge the most and managed to scare me the most (pretty good atmosphere, you never feel safe), and has a good assortment of puzzle/survival adventure gameplay, interesting setting, and of course, unexpected but fun death scenes. And of course, the rather well done and surprisingly impacting twist in the true ending. I almost shed a tear the first time too, they did a great job at foreshadowing it but not making it obvious so its surprising.Originally Posted by A Huge Battleship
Well, the day after tomorrow then.
I'm very glad I played The Witch's House after Mad Father and Ib, because I prefer saving the best for last when possible, and it was easily the most frightening, the most affecting and the overall most enjoyable of the trio. I knew I was in for a treat when I stepped on a smear of blood in the first room and was promptly made paper thin, but even so, I wouldn't have predicted just how much I'd end up enjoying it.
I think the main reason I preferred it to the other two was because it kept me strongly on edge practically from start to finish. The sudden and shocking deaths in the early rooms instilled a fear in me that the house nurtured throughout the game, making me feel like the 'Game Over' screen was never more than a few seconds away regardless of where I was. It also had my favourite endgame; the final chase section made for an excellent climax, with my brain desperately trying to recall the way out and the house doing what it could to impede my escape.
The scariest moment for me was probably when I picked up the wristwatch underneath the desk in the dark passageway (I was fairly certain it was a bad idea, but I wanted to try everything out), went into the item menu to examine it and saw Viola's HOLY SHIT character portrait. I was already on edge from walking around in that passageway but then I just totally lost it.
I got the normal ending the first time around (not that my mind had much say in the matter), but I remembered reading here that the ending was supposedly very upsetting so I figured I'd missed something. Then I went back and got the true ending.
Yeah.
I said in my previous post that I usually preferred warped endings, but... no, even I couldn't enjoy that. The twist had my jaw hanging open, and watching 'Viola' call out to her father only to be rewarded with a hole in her skull almost had me in tears. Unusual reaction for me considering I'd barely invested 90 minutes into the game, but I think it's testament to the impact it had on my mentality.
I know it's only February, but I suspect this will be one of my favourite games I play this year. Overall rating: 5 grinning skulls out of 5.
Yeah, I looked that up (along with the other 'secret' stuff) shortly after getting the true ending and it wrapped up basically all the remaining questions I had. Cute new avatar btw. FaceOriginally Posted by Dusk Golem
There is a third ending, but its just an expansion of the true ending with a bit more explained. To get that ending, beat the game without saving or talking to the cat once.
Made by Amaranth games, this is the "prequel" the the Aveyond series (which are b2p) in a sense. I was mind blown at the time I played it due to the fact it was made in RPGM2k. Why? The Battle system itself is one reason, it's not the engine turn based and uses a lot of complex events to make the action combat work. An epic RPG to the core imo.Amaranth Productions proudly introduces Ahriman's Prophecy, a beautiful fantasy world doomed to be destroyed by the demon, Ahriman.
In a desperate attempt to stop the prophecy, the Daughters of Light send you, a young but powerful magic wielder, on a difficult quest to unlock the secrets of the prophecy and hopefully, learn how to stop it.
If you enjoy classic RPGs like Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger, you're going to love Ahriman's Prophecy.
I think this might have been the first RPG I ever played in my life. Didn't it have a rudimentary marriage system and everything?I can't believe this game hasn't been mentioned yet. It's what got me into RPG maker seriously starting with 2k after experimenting with '95 a bit. I've tried every RPG Maker except VXAce, I still prefer XP's three layer mapping.

Indeed it did. Can't say it was my first RPG though. That title goes to Kirby Warrior RPG.I think this might have been the first RPG I ever played in my life. Didn't it have a rudimentary marriage system and everything?
