I have SO many grandiose plans!

[Diatonis]

I want to introduce myself by thanking all of you for the amazing amount of tutorials, documentation and videos I've already found within these forums. 


I'm a week into MV, and am seriously hooked. I've messed around with twine a little, and have made electronic music for years (on hardware, not software), but otherwise I have little experience with programming, game-making, and computers in general. My day job is writing novels, but since tenth grade---when I spent all year programming a sweet interactive novel into my ti-83, but erased it during my math final by hastily pulling out the batteries---I've been dreaming of making my own games. This program is difficult for me at present, but I think I get it. It's going to take some work learning it, but I feel the happiness of future action.   


I'm mostly interested in using this medium for story-telling. I've been discontent with the limitations of the novel for a while now, and am eager to explore everything I can do through rpgmaker!  


Nice to meet you all, and I promise not to ask too many obvious questions.

Hi, welcome

Welcome to the group!

That sucks about your interactive novel... do you remember it well enough to at least rewrite the story?

Welcome!~


Don't be scared to ask a question-even if you think it should be obvious! Chances are someone can answer you, and several other users might have the same question! This is a really helpful community, full of people willing to help out. Just make sure you read the forum rules and post questions in the appropriate forum sub-sections.


Again, welcome!~

Welcome,


An interactive novel sounds amazing. I have a few stories I always wanted to write in the past, and that's my goal right now. Making a 'game' centric story. I hope to see some ideas from you in the future!

Ha! Never rewrote it---although I remember everything. It was a revenge quest through a shadowrun style city-scape, full of decay and exposition. It's probably a good thing I erased it!

Thanks so much for the welcome! These forums seem so supportive and helpful. I hope I can help, too.
