New user, RPG Maker XP veteran

[meustrus]

Hi all - I'm here to see if I can recapture the magic I used to experience in the RPG Maker community from around 2002-2009. I have no idea if anybody here was around back then, but if you were I'd love to hear it!

Back in the day I made all kinds of resources, especially RMXP scripts but also music and tile and sprite edits. I'd love to get into that again. These days I work professionally as a software engineer, and I'd be happy to deep dive into any and all RPG Maker scripting. I could share so much about how RMXP's scripts work, and by extension RMVX. I actually played with reimplementing all of RMXP in a different engine at one point, and I made the first pseudo-3d "mode7" script for RMXP.

Lately the only thing I've been working on is a 3d tilemap renderer in Unity for a RPG-styled walking simulator I've been working on off and on for a long time...which I want to port to another engine now . So much work, so little time.

Anyway, please say hi and show me around this place, it seems to be the main hub for RPG Maker stuff these days. Thanks

Greetings and welcome back to the RPG Maker scene.
Got to ask as a fellow early 00s person, what forums did you spend your days at?

I've been here since 2001, and I definitely recognise the name. Welcome back!

Howdy!
Sounds like you've got quite the record! Congrats!

Welcome back! I didn’t come around till 2014, so you’re definitely cooler than me. Hope to see you out and about here!

I was mainly active on LRPGM, then RPG Palace which I eventually took ownership of. Neither really exists anymore though. I also had some presence on RMXP.net/RMXP.org/hbgames for a while.

A+ for Ty Lee profile pic, by the way.

Thanks! The forum must have found it from Google or Gravatar where I've used it for a few years now
