RPG Maker Forums

I've seen a few new-comers to game development despair that they've no skills, no abilities in creating games, so I figured, well, it's not fair that they see a lot of the older, more experienced people spitting out bits of awesome without seeing where they came from.

This topic is to show off your first attempts (or at least, much older ones) at parts of game dev. It's a little embarrassing to remember, but sharing some of our older stuff should be both fun, funny and an interesting insight for those new developers out there who worry that they're 'not good enough' to jump into game development.

So, I'll start the ball rolling by posting up a few screenshots. I'll ask mods/admin about whether posting links to old demos are allowed or not (since some of us started in 2k/3 >.<; ) but for now just keep it to screenies, edits/graphics, art, music, writing and the like.



A yes, sunny days with all that rain. Key points - the RTP mixed with various tile rips. Also, that window/text combo.



A forest, complete with grass, Breath of Fire II trees and world map forest tiles as smaller trees. Also, a chest. Yay.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
