Cheers everyone~!

[Omikuji]

Hello everyone, I'm Omikuji or Omi for short and I preordered Ace as the third RPGmaker program that I have had in my grubby hands. I think, I think I had four...? Anyways, I'm essentually a newbie at the programs, I'm not going to lie when I say that all I did with XP and 2003 five plus years ago now is that I was confused at the whole thing and then dropped the attempts at understanding the creator when my computer set fire.

I am an artist and I do enjoy writing here and there... mainly focusing on the art stuff. I want to be able to learn and understand Ace once I get my hands on it, I already have a project planned and I hope to make this a fun learning experience!

So hello! I'm sure some people may slightly recognize my name from another RPGmaker forum, but how could I not say hello in this one when I was invited c:

Hello Omikuji! A seasoned RPGM user right? I personally only briefly used XP and VX but I'm sure I'll go a long way with Ace!

 

[Ichi]

Welcome Omi! You mentioned you are an artist, do you incorperate your own art into your games or plan to?

 

[Omikuji]

Hello Omikuji! A seasoned RPGM user right? I personally only briefly used XP and VX but I'm sure I'll go a long way with Ace!

Ohhhh goodness no. XD I have used them in the past, but I was around 15 at the time and had no idea what I was doing. I think I got to play around with any of the programs I listed for half a year and I had zero help at all. I got maybe a very small portion of a game done, I am in no way a seasoned RPGM maker at all XD Consider me a newbie at the program as well who is going to work very hard to learn how to make her promise of making a RPGM game way back then fulfilled! That's why I'm sneaking around in these forums, I'm really hoping there will be a number of helpful people who can help me understand scripting and eventing way better then me sitting there guessing the whole time.

@Ichi: Oh, I plan to yes. Nothing too big for my first game, since I want to use it as a stepping stone to learn how to use the program itself. I do dabble a little bit in sprite editing, and I do a bunch of character art and have done years of arting around. I know for the sprites at least for my first attempting game, I want to edit the sprites slightly to have this look to them

They may just be very small edits, but I want to take away the black in the sprites to give them a softer look, and changing their souless eyes XD Maybe I'll also add in some of my actual art into the game, but one step at a time as drawing to fit the all around style of the game is a lot of work when I want to focus on learning how to make a game.

 

[Ichi]

Thats cool Omi, would you be interested in doing a sprite shop of some sort in the future? Just curious, cause, well I stink at sprites

 

[AstoXx]

Welcome!

I agree with Ichi, you really should have a sprite shop thread! I can tell from just those 2 sprites that you have budding talent and it should be shown for all to see... apart from me (as you can see, I have no eyes... T.T) I can't wait to see what kind of work you'll be producing for us

 

[Omikuji]

A sprite shop? What's that? Is that like... a resource area here? I didn't think they where all that amazing so it's surprising to hear that thank you you two! XD

Along with those animated ones, I have been working on a few other emotion sprites for my game (I haven't started on the other characters since I want to see if I can get them much closer with the character creator in Ace rather then the webbased one for VX that is... somewhere.)

Oh then there's the dragon in my sig who I also edited to make for my plotting game thing.

I also do a bit of comic art! I'll post some of that in here too as a bit of a preview of my actual drawing work since I feel I'm a bit better at that then actual spriteing XD (also no the main character shown here is not in the actual game. I'm going to attempt his story either later as a RPGM or as a comic depending on how things end up)

[Ichi]

Your sprites are awesome, yeah shops are basiclly a resource area, some shops take request from members who stink at what you are good at (spriting in my case ^-^) I thought your comic is good too, wondering what that one more thing is in #3...

 

[Shaz]

Hi Omi, welcome! We can never have too many spriters You may not think they're great, but as someone who's much better at programming, I envy anyone who can make the simplest of sprite tweaks and have them look good.

Your dragon is gorgeous!

 

[GemFall]

Woohoo, another artist! Looks good. Your spriting looks nice, as well. At any rate, welcome!
