Decided to Finally Join the Forums!

[jaggernaut25]

What's up everybody!? 

I have been lurking around the forums, dreaming of finally making the plunge into my own project and I have finally made the decision - it's going to happen. I've assembled a small team of friends and we are ready to finally push forward with our first (free to download) project and can't wait to reveal more details. Eventually, we hope to get enough experience to release a large, commercial game!

I have been involved with amateur game development for years, dating back to Game Maker even before YoYo Games took over and RPG Maker on the PS1. Professionally, I work as a Business Consultant/Writer and also write in the gaming industry. In fact, funny enough, you can see my review of RPG Maker VX Ace right here.

Glad to finally join!!!

Welcome to the forum.  Read the review you posted - at least you now have a good idea of what you're letting yourself in for!

Haha, thanks! I actually wrote that review over a year ago and have toyed with it, played with scripts and just messed around ever since, but we've decided to finally move forward on some projects!

I also just joined yesterday, after a wonderful friend of mine told me he was lurking on this forum for info.

Anyway, I wish you well on your project Mr. Jaggernaut. It sounds EPIC!

Look at this guy, trying to act all smooth, lol. This is one of my friends that I am working with - he recently bought RPGMVXA on Steam!

Welcome to the group! ^_^

Be sure to have fun while you are here, after all, a game you don't enjoy making won't be enjoyable to play!

It's great! I finally dove into the resource section and have spent the last several days just pouring over all of the stuff that people have made to share in the community. It's really and truly impressive. The project is still in early stages (hope to get some info up about it soon, though) but the scripts and resources on the site have, so far, made it far better than I thought would be possible in such a short amount of time.

Victor's Light Effects, for example, is amazing! I am still struggling with mapping (especially forests) but I am getting better with practice  

As a fair warning, people can expect to see a lot of resource requests in terms of sprites from me in the coming weeks...hahaha. May consider posting up on the recruitment page once the project is public.

Thanks!

Yeah, it helps a lot when it comes to plot as well, coming up with story elements, characters, that kind of stuff. Thanks for the welcome!

Took me about a year to actually get my team recruited, very few people who actually have the skills are willing to work for possible future royalties instead of immediate pay. (Main project, not made with RM)

Yeah thankfully when you write for a gaming site and host an RPG podcast, it's fairly easy to turn to friends you've made in those endeavors for stuff like this. We get along very well and have identical senses of humor - very important for our upcoming project!

Looks like your game is also available at Steam. This would be a good one. Welcome aboard!
