Greetings

[Kilgore Trout]

Just saying hi to everybody...


I've dabbled in RPG Maker since the 90s, starting way back with RPG Maker 95 but haven't released anything serious before. Last year I decided to have a real go at making games and was teaching myself Unity, then I heard about a new RPG Maker coming out and had a play with it. That playing around turned into my current game project "Mars Underground."
Other than games I like to make my own music, which I'll be doing for my game's soundtrack.


Have a nice day everybody!

What music tools do you use? I personally use Anvil studio (I also play piano and guitar, and can read/write sheet music.)

Heya, welcome to the forums.


Hope the new RPG Maker software serves as an excellent medium for your game.


Cheers!

Currently I'm doing everything in Reason 8. I've been through a few different tools but have come back to Reason since they've added recording and rack extensions. I just love the way that program works and the whole way it keeps your projects together, but had to move on from it back in the early 2000s as it started to become too limited compared to the competition (with VSTs, etc).


I'd say 100% of the sound and music in this game will be done in Reason.

Hey thanks. With the ability to output to android and IOS and with the JavaScript extensions I think RPG Maker is becoming a serious game development environment.


Actually, now that I think about it, Propellerhead Reason and RPG Maker are both old favourites I'd left behind because they seemed too limited but have returned to.

Thanks, never used Reason before. Thankful I didn't hear something like fruity loops or acid (although it is a decent arranger.)


I also havent really used RM since the early 2000s's nor anvil studio.


Happy RPG making!

What's wrong with Fruity Loops / Acid?


I know some people who've done some pretty nice stuff with Fruity Loops.

 

[thehackeryacker]

probably my lack of commitment on fruity loops. I only used acid to arrange my music from various inputs.... (play a rythm track on guitar, arrange, then listen with headphones and play lead.)  and I know there are millions of works done with FLstudio.


Perhaps I am just used to traditional composing with anvil studio. And it is all about personal choice. I am not currently working on any music, as I am aiming more at my game artwork with Blender. Would love to hear anything youve made lately though. I literally have nothing to do for weeks.... (I am from the Southern States in the outback boonies. I have to drive an hour just to get to an actual grocery store....).

That makes sense. I haven't personally worked with Anvil, as I understand it's based around more "traditional" musical arrangements(with a musical staff, etc)?


I don't have any recent music up on the Internet though there is some in the video for my game:




Here's a band I was in many years ago:

I also found out my old tripod page for an RPG Maker game I abandoned 17 years ago is somehow still alive:

Ok, you just got mad respect from me. Checked the myspace page, love the music. And the music from your youtube video of your game, did you create all the BGM? It complements the mystery aspect very well.

I'd welcome you to the group but it looks like you've been around a couple months.

Hey thanks so much!


Yeah I did all the music in the game. Still have so much more to do though.

Yeah, I've been lurking around mostly. I usually do that for a few months before posting.

Hey there!


Pretty sure I've seen mars underground in the early projects area. Just woke up so my brain is fuzzy. I'll look at your music in a bit too!


I swear everyone on this forum has so much talent.

Yeah I did things backwards. Only just got around to posting here after putting up a thread about my game weeks ago.


It's great to see such a supportive community
