RPG Maker Forums

Hey all, lovely community, great reputation, happy to be here. Full disclosure; I'm brand new to RPG maker and I'm currently reading the documentation but I'm eager to jump in and I thought I'd take a shot and see if I can get an easy answer. Here goes:

I'd like to make a special RPG where events in the real world are able to effect the game state. Super easy stuff; log in at night, gameworld is night-time, got an A+ on your homework all week? you get 5000 extra GP. Did you quit smoking this week? Combat stat buff and so on. Keeping in mind that this is my core game mechanic, do you think RPG maker would be a good platform to work with, or would you just hop on to something more robust like Unity if you were me? Keeping in mind I'd like to go fully KISS on this one, what say you?

Thanks guys. In any case, I'll be checking out your projects for inspiration. 

Grind on...

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.
time for a new avatar :)
