RPG Maker Forums

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!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
