Hallo there,
I am interested in making a game in RPG Maker VX Ace. My interests are really in storytelling, humour and platforming.
I guess where I have fallen down in the past in my attempts to create games on this platform is the fact that, frankly, I have very little knowledge of, or interest in, RPG games! I never played any of the famous RPG games, and whilst I probably have played at least one game resembling an RPG at some point, I never really understood the mechanics very well or how you would 'put together' / design a game of that nature.
One solution to this would be to brush up on the genre and learn about it, but I thought a better approach for me might be to use RPG Maker to make a game that focuses on what I'm already interested in.
The question for me, then, is this. How do I then actually make that interesting to play? Do you guys have any advice for me and do you think I could make a game that focuses on something different to the norm and still make it interesting? What elements would you want to see in a game that's forged in that path?
Cheers guys!
