Hello, I'm Curt!

Hello!

I'm Curtis, I'm a 3D modeler, I also enjoy creating 2D (or 3D) logos and texturing. (I'm self taught)
I use Gimp and Blender, two powerful free softwares.

I tried RPG Maker several years ago (like maybe 10 years ago, is it possible?) but I thought it was too complicated.

I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan. My favorite are the 8, I enjoyed the 4 till the 10 included.

Apparently, from what I've heard, RPG Maker is "friendly user", I'm thinking about creating a small RPG. Just to try making a video game for the first time.

I was wondering if we could have bigger characters? (I know it works with tiles)
If we could also change everything (Textures, Sounds, ...)
The screen size can be set to 1920*1080?

I'm more confortable creating buildings/scenes/monsters. But I'm improving my human models.

I'll show you 2 things, one old fan art of FF8 and another thing I'm busy with, an American football player that I will sale thanks to Shapeways (basically you add your 3D object, and anybody can buy it if he finds it cool...)

The famous funguars.

This footballer isn't finish yet. I'll also have to remove the Nike logos and change the Eagle logo (actually it's the official on the shoulders).

Thanks, see you soon!

Welcome to the forums! While RPG Maker is a lot easier to use than most other game engines, there is still a learning curve that you have to get through. It does take too long, though. Most sprites can be made larger or smaller by resizing the sprite sheets. This increases the area for each sprite in the sheet. Tiles work a little different but it can still be done with a plugin but it doesn't play very nice with the editor. You might end up wanting to go the parallax route anyway, though. Changing screen resolution is easy with the packaged plugin and others that do this. You're probably not going to find an easier way to make a Final Fantasy 4 type game.

Your 3D art look really good. It's been forever but I've messed around with 3D modelling. I know how long it takes to create. If you can get over that learning curve, you shouldn't have any problem with RPG Maker.

Nice to meet you and take care.

Hello and welcome. You'll find several tutorial pages to help you get started. First, you should settle on one RPGmaker at a time and then gradually work your way into doing more. I suggest MV. If you need help, you should let the site know. We're all pretty friendly here.
