RPG Maker Forums
Hello, I've been looking through these forums from a little bit, and I want to get involved but I'm really not exactly sure how or where to start. So bear with me really!
I came across rpg makers through like game playthroughs and I'm really interested in learning. Specifically, I'd like to create horror games, or games that focus more on narrative rather than turn based, magic oriented RPG games. However, I have so many questions and I'm so unfamiliar with things like this I don't know where to start. I'm a digital artist and you can check out my art at glisean.deviantart.com, I also have a good gist of code, as I'm an engineering student and I'm familiar with C++ and I think I can pick up other languages pretty quickly.
If anyone has the patience to answer or direct me to the answers to these questions, that would be great!
1. What are sprites exactly? (I understand they are 2D character images) Do they involve code? How do I learn to make them?
2. Does creating games involve pixel art? If so, are there any good tutorials out there on how to start creating pixel art. (I would very much like to create my own visuals.)
3. What are the languages required to code RPG maker games? Where can I find information or tutorials on the language.
4. What version of the RPG maker would be best for someone who is first starting out.
5. Where can I find informative tutorials on RPG maker?
I know these are a lot of questions but I feel like if I know how to approach these tasks one at a time I can head in the right directon.
If there's anything else you think I would need to learn it would be great if that would be included in your answer as well.
I know learning these things may often be a long, difficult and tedious process, but this is just a personal project I'd like to take up for myself and I'm willing to go through all that even
though it might take a long time to actually learn to do everything by myself. I'm fine and ready for that task.
Therefore I also have no interest on working on projects with other people, because I'd like to work at my own pace and free time.
Thank you again!

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
