Greetings!

[Parallax Panda]

Hey!

I'm Parallax Panda, new to this forum but not to RPG maker, although it has been a while since I used it. Actually, I'm not really new to this forum either since I've been lurking here for over 1 year now, but with the release of the new shiny RpgMakerMV I thought it might be time for me to emerge from the shadows. If I'm going to use this program I might as well be part of the community, ey?

I am an artist, ...I guess. I started out young and I've dabbled in many different art disciplines over the last ~16 years. Pixelart, Comics, Graffiti, Digital art, Concept art, Portrait painting etc. You name it, I'm a jack of all trades, master of none (unfortunally). But as I get older I feel like I'm starting to find my own style and focus my artistic endeavour more and more. And it's mostly character designs and some pixelart that I've been doing lately.

As I mentioned I have prior experience with RPG maker. I started out in XP (but never really got anything done) then I stopped. I moved over to click teams Multimedia Fusion 2 (but once again never really got anything done) and then I stopped - again. Last year I bought Rpg Maker VxAce and played around with it, and you guessed it, I never really got anything done! ...but I learned a lot and it was fun. Hence, when this new engine got a launch date I pre-ordered it right away and here I am. Hoping to FINALLY make something. Hopefully a game but I am thinking about (not promising) making some tilesets or other art assets as well... maybe, I have a busy life. My day job as a teacher and my marriage demands a lot of time and attention and that will have to be my number one priority.

Anyways, might as well include here that I've also tried other game engines like Ren'Py and Game Maker Studios (and a whole bunch of click team products) but at least to me, there is something special about Rpg Maker that feels right. For artists with no or very little coding experience like myself (who also prefer to work alone), it's close to perfect.

But this introduction is starting to look like a wall of letters so I'l just end it here.

Nice to meet you all and don't be shy, write a comment!

Welcome fellow artist! looking forward to see your works!

Welcome to the ACTIVE part of the group!

@Dexter64

Thank you, and likewise! Where do you showcase your stuff?

My life is busy though, so I am not sure when and in what form I will showcase something. Much of what I have created is irrelevant to RM (and some pieces might not be 100% suited to show on this page). I will try to bring out something new in the future, if nothing else, at least hopefully a game or two.
If we're talking about resources though, I have wanted to make a modern Japan tileset for the longest time now. Maybe That will happen for MV? Maybe, maybe not.

@Cadh20000

Oh, why thank you! Besides the active group, I would like to level up even more and join the productive part of the community as well! I came here with the hopes to finally see one of my projects through to the end.

@Marsigne

Thank you for the warm welcome. I guess I am mostly looking for help and other peoples resources (hehe.. aren't we all?). But as I said above, if I find time I have some ideas for some RM content myself which I would like to make and share. Mingling and social networking is another reason I finally singed up, I don't know many people in real life who use this engine or have an interest in game making at all. So to be able to interact with like minded people is good.

By the way, I recognize your avatar and name. I am positive I've seen you on the rpgmakervxace.net forum before? I am a (passive) member of that community as well. Although, with another nickname. BD

You're welcome! Yes; interacting with other like-minded people can also get you insipired and even make a team with some! (though teaming here might be a tad hard, depends)

Yes I'm passive too; mostly do PMs and check around. Nice that you noticed

Hello!

I see there's another wall-of-text-introduction-specialist besides me. =3

Welcome to the herd then! (=

 

[Parallax Panda]

@Marsigne

Of course I noticed. I been creeping on that forum as well for a long time.

@Rikifive

Oh yes, I had to limit myself and ended up erasing a 25% of the original post beacuse I rambling as usual. I realized most people probably don't need to know my life history. Thank you for welcoming me, and by the way. Since I've already outed Marsigne I might as well point out that I seen you on rpgmakervxace.net as well. You have some kind of my little pony project going if I'm not mistaken? Oh well, this just proves that I am an excellent lurker, I already know who everyone is!

I'm doing the same sometimes. Creating a wall of text, then erasing a big part of it, which results in sentences all over the place making no sense at all. 

Thank you for welcoming me, and by the way. Since I've already outed Marsigne I might as well point out that I seen you on rpgmakervxace.net as well.

On rpgmakervxace.net I am waaaay much active than here, so no doubt you saw me there. 

(YAY! I'm famous! =3 Just kidding! ^^ )

You have some kind of my little pony project going if I'm not mistaken?

Correct! The silliest of all the projects on this forum! 

Oh well, this just proves that I am an excellent lurker, I already know who everyone is!

You know everyone's secrets! ... But please do not blackmail anyone.
