Hello my name is Brandon. It's nice to be a part of this community. ^.^ Anyways I have a question.. Would I be able to make a game like South Park: The Stick of Truth with RPG Maker VX Ace? I was planning on developing my game in RPG Maker VX Ace and I was wondering if it could make that kind of game. I do plan on putting it on Steam once its finished. Here is some gameplay videos of it just in case you don't know the game. ^.^

So as you can see I would like to have a open world RPG in a way but I also want every one to be able to interact with anything and anybody like it shows here and also character customization. I also plan on using the same camera views etc.. My game is going to be anime style though so I am just wondering if you could do something like this? Another game example is Persona 4 but only with the interactions with other characters and being able to date them, spend time with them, etc... Where in South Park it has more of the gameplay mechanics that I want my game to have. Any advice would be great! Sorry for asking a question on my first day. v.v I just want to get started on this!


Well I have expierence in Unity and Unreal Engine 4 as well as CryENGINE 3 just a bit and dealt with Source Engine when it came to modding the games on Steam. But my programming isn't bad though. I am very comfident I could pull this off as long as I don't rush it so I don't think I am that inexperience when it comes to game development all together. I know I could pull this off in time so now that I know I could do this I am going to start working on it. Also I was wondering as I mentioned above about the social features like if I used the given tools to me right would I be able to pull off that interacting system with characters and objects? Mostly with characters I would like it if you could just start to talk to them and there will be a leveling system for each character stating your friendship and you can ask them out to go eat, kick it at your place, go to the shopping center, park, etc... Then if that skill gets high enough you can go into a relationship with them. I have all these ideas for combat, inventory, and also a lot of various things. As for sprites I am making every single character in Anime Studio Pro and backgrounds/props in Sketch Up and Photoshop. I am also into 2D animation. I have quite a bit of animating jobs as of right now as well.

Here is a background test I did a while back:
