RPG Maker Forums

Call me Cross, I'm a would be game developer/director from Australia.

...Unfortunately the job market down here in my neck of the bush is kinda non-existent, so I'm hoping to use RPGMaker as a stepping stone to actually getting something going down here.

To that end I'm going into this community as a complete newbie with big ideas...

Starting with something I've been cooking up for nearly 15 years now...

Now the thing is... I don't know what Maker can do. I don't know if my ambition break the engine or not...

How flexible is Maker's Engine?

...Cause I've seen a lot of RPGMaker games on Steam boasting 10 hour stories... and I'm gunning for 100 split between main quest and side stories.

Can Maker handle that? Or are you all looking at this post like I'm a madman?

EDIT:

Just felt it prudent to let everyone know what games got me into the idea of making my own RPG.

Like many I have had an interest in Final Fantasy and it indeed proved the initial spark of inspiration... but it is by no means my favourite series, and while I do enjoy the Tales series it too doesn't hold the honour of being my favourite. My actual favourites are Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals and Star Ocean: the Second Story and their respective series.

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?
