Hi! Hello! It's lovely to have you reading my first topic.


I've been lurking here and there for a while and have picked up a lot of helpful tips and advice and I have been inspired by some absolutely amazing artwork & graphics & scripts some really awesome (that's not to say you're not awesome) people here have made.


I'm a mid-twenties Australian. I've fiddled around and played with this program since the 2000 release. I've always been a person with a lot of creative outlets - predominately writing -and always wanted to make a video game. After a decade of storyboarding, brainstorming, and good old fashioned procrastination I purchased VX Ace on a Steam sale and have been tinkering and experimenting to the point where I feel I'm comfortable undertaking a project that will be released to a larger audience (read: an audience that isn't my best mate or my *very patient* girlfriend).


I don't necessarily see game-making as something I want to try and pursue money out of. At this point I would say my main goal is to release a series based on the particular story/universe I've been building for a long, long time. While my focus on this series would be conveying the story and plot elements to the player I would like to have (reasonably) polished graphics/audio to accompany it.


That's it! Thanks for reading my wall of text!


:D

Welcome!


Even if game making remains a hobby, I wish you well on game development.

Heya, welcome to the forums.


I understand the situation you're in and hope that within your meticulous planning you've accounted for what mechanics/resources will not be found within the tool by default. By not pursuing a commercial project you'll have a very wide assortment of resources that can be found in the forums. However, it's always nice to have a backup or backout plan to avoid blackholes that can decimate your motivation because you're missing a certain element you were dead set on.


Good luck!

Don't forget, aspiring writers: Personality isn't what your characters do, it is WHY they do it.
Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
