I'm working with VX Ace, but I also own all previous versions of RPGMaker in case that makes a difference in advice (for instance if there is compatibility with some sort of plugin which will do the trick in an older version)
So, I'm starting to plan out my new project. I decided that I'd base it on a pen and paper game my friends and I play regularly. In this game, we play paranormal investigators in the modern era. That being said, the game has a very mid 80's spy thriller feel about it, in spite of being very modern.
I plan on the game being episodic, with each episode being a single mission. In each game, I'd like to make an old fashioned mission briefing for the opening scene. Maybe have an office background or some sort of letterhead with a coffee stain on it, then have the text come on the screen as through it's being actively typed out (complete with typing sounds.) What I'm wondering about are what the best resources for crafting that sort of opening would be. I need the following:
I need to be able to make a nice little song. I have access to some great resources, but if someone knows of a free or cheap loop creator to suggest, I'd really be interested.
The background seems simple enough. I'm sure I can find a resource like this. Actually, I think I recall something like that in one of the RTPs...
The big thing, and what I'm MAINLY asking about, is the text effect. I have Magix Video Pro X for making movies, but I'm still REALLY new at using it. So far I've only been able to make text fade in or out, but not come typed out on the screen the way I'd like. I'd really like the text to pop up looking like an old school word processor with the green text and the blinking curser that covers the whole typespace: Example from "War Games"
