Hi everyone, I'm Dosei-San, and am excited to become an active participant of these forums. Dosei-San is the Japanese name of the Mr. Saturn character from Earthbound, one of my favorite RPGs and a big inspiration for me. I've decided to get into either RPG Maker VX Ace or XP as a primarily story-telling tool. I've been heavily inspired by Super Columbine Massacre RPG, less for the story itself and more for the storytelling potential it shows old-school style RPGs can have. And it was made with 2000!
I think if I were to make a game it would be a couple hours at the most, but would be very involved and would call for constantly changing environments and a plethora of dialogue, characters, music, objects, cutscene events and ideally even compressed videos. I would need the use of user-created scripts, extensive knowledge on the programs and at least some knowledge on the Ruby scripting language for my dream to be realized. Unfortunately I'll probably be quite big on the question threads, especially in the early stages, but my wish is that eventually when I become seasoned with one or both of these programs I can help more new people who were once in my shoes! I look forward to getting to know some of you!
