RPG Maker Forums
Hello to everyone!
I've been a lurker of this forum for a while now, and finally decided to join in on the fun since everyone here seems to be very helpful and friendly. So I thank you in advance for any help, and hope I can also be a useful member of this wonderful community.
I'll probably put spoilers since I can rant a bit.
A little bit about myself:
Hopes and dreams regarding RPG Maker and game making in general maybe?
I want to congratulate anyone who has or is in the process of making or completing an RPG game, it is a HUGE undertaking and you're all awesome for doing it! Also another congrats to everyone out there that provide resources and guidance with your magical hands and minds to better the community and helping people out!
I hope this isn't too long, but I'm glad to finally be a part of it all! Thank you!

A little bit about myself:
I was gifted a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace way back when it was new, and had tinkered around with it a bit. I love creating things, especially projects. I'm a writer in my free time, but I've always wanted to make a game and never had the time to try and make one from scratch. I found RPG Maker to be the perfect format for me to try and express that creativity. Not much came of it since I had to focus more on my studies and so that whole project fell by the wayside.
By the time I got back into it again, I found that a shinier, new version of the software had come out, and so I recently bought it on sale. I have already started a basic online of the story and some planning into what kind of things I want in the game, but will work on the bulk of the game making when I have a little more fleshed out. It is going to be a tribute to an old MMORPG game I played (actually the very first one I played that introduced me to the world of online gaming) which is no longer in existence sadly D:, so I hope for it to be enjoyable to others!

I suck at art to start with, but after my first game, I hope to be able to make the games more unique to my style over the more typical RPG style that comes with the engine. By this I mean, I don't want to stick to the default for anything really from the title screen and GUI, to even the characters and objects. I know how to code and javascript is something I'm familiar with, so I won't have too many issues from that angle...but like I said, I suck at art, but I'd like to be able to use my own artwork for games to keep things consistent and to add a touch of individuality to them.
So I hope to, over the course this journey, get good enough to where I won't be embarrassed to use my own work or at least get people to enjoy my games without wanting to run in fear from the eyesore that may be the artwork associated with them. I also want to convert some of my text based games into full fledged RPGs! (for anyone familiar with the ChoiceScript games - I have a few projects there, but again, none completed...)

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.
