Okay! Admit it! Who buys more resource packs than what they use? :)

How would you gauge your usage of resource packs purchased from rpgmakerweb/steam?

 

[OnslaughtSupply]

I own almost all of the time fantasy stuff but aside from setting up the passability, I have never used them. I like the look of them, it just doesn't fit with most of the ideas in my head. My PVGames Resources get used a lot though.

 

[mlogan]

I’m a resource hoarder. Must have all the packs!

 

[Ms Littlefish]

Gotta catch 'em all! GRAPHICS PACKS!

 

[Windows i7]

I don't use any of them because their terms of use is incompatible with how I want to deploy a game (without encryption).

 

[Matseb2611]

A bit confused with the choices. I make mainly commercial games nowadays, but I have used some resource packs in just freeware games in the past, and some I've used in both commercial and freeware games. So not sure which option to go for really.

During my early years as a game developer, I thought owning a lot of custom assets would allow me to build a great game since I'm not an artist/musician. Later on, I found that much of the tilesets/busts etc. were incompatible and unfit with what I have in my head. To use all of them in one game...that could cause a lot of inconsistencies in the graphic art and that can trigger me really bad

So now I only use them as placeholders or for practice games.

I like to think that eventually they will all be used in a way or another, especially when the person that purchases them is productive (and I'm trying to be like that lately), so I buy both graphics and music packs.

 

[slimmmeiske2]

The poll options confuse me a little. I've used packs in non-released games and in freeware games, so...

I have several I don't use (that I got through bundles), but I've also used several (mostly the music packs) in my games.
In fact when IGMC was announced, I felt that now was great time to use one of the graphic packs. I ended up using DS and DS+ resource packs, as well as several music packs.

 

[Tai_MT]

Let's see... I bought one resource pack. I use it. So... not me!

Now, if I had the $400 required to get all the DLC off of Steam for RMMV... Yeah, I'd have a lot of resources I don't use. It's an eventual goal. I'll get there someday.

I just have more important money issues atm.

 

[Parallax Panda]

I buy what I think I need at the moment. But since everything I make have turned out to be abandonware so far... well, I guess I haven’t used anything in a game.... yet. I will though, I totally will!

Aaaaand with that being said, I’m off to the store to spend more money on some stuff I’ve been eying for a while. Early christmas present to

Lots of great responses! I've been buying a lot of resources especially with sales, and if they are cheap enough, i dont mind buying just to look at them! But i can't wait to try them in my first mv game!

 

[kaukusaki]

I use the packs in commercial games i create. I would build by scratch but this saves time. I have different games in different art styles so it works. It's fun working in different art styles when i create new things for my game the packs don't have so my games appear unique.
No game releases yet because gremlins like to destroy my computers and backups... But im working on getting them out of development hell! Pray for me yall lol

 

[jayray]

*raises hand*

Not here at the RPG Maker Web Store... but, I STILL don't know why I bought Second Story and Game Character Hub...

 

[hp4000]

Winter Steam sale, so there's lots of opportunities to buy stuff!

 

[Ellie Jane]

I'm always stuck between them! I honestly have NO idea what direction to take my game in. Now I'm torn between three: Celianna, PV Games and Time Fantasy, though having seen some bad maps with PV Games I'm considering just buying it for the cliffs and to use that with Celianna's tilesets if they blend well.

But I have dozens in my DLC folders that I have never used. Some I don't even know what they are, they were just in the Steam sale. (Why is RPG Maker DLC so cheap!?)

 

[Punamaagi]

I have bought (and received as gifts) quite a few resource packs, but it's quite unlikely that I would use all of them, at least in a single project. Some of the styles don't work well together and/or with the ideas I currently have.

Nevertheless, I like collecting graphics and music packs just in case I'd need them one day, and some of them inspire me and make me feel excited already when I look at them or listen to them.

 

[Kenvi_Water]

Bought a lot of resource pack during winter steam sale, I like more stuff to play around when using RMMV.

 

[Sauteed_Onion]

I haven't bough any resource packs. I am still learning RPG MAKER basics, but I'm tempted to use either hand drawn or heavily modified photographs for backgrounds. Still considering hand drawn sprites for characters or taking the time to blend. >_ > I have seen blender go wrong.
