RPG Maker Forums
G'day All,
I am very new to RPG Maker, but am really impressed with what I have seen.
I am interested in using a second language within a game and am wondering if it is possible. I would love any of your thoughts and feedback on the idea. I want to caveate that I don't know what I am talking about so I apologise if the language I am using is wrong, I would be happy to be corrected.
Second Language in Game
Thanks for you help and thoughts.
All the best,
Adam

Second Language in Game
- Players start in an area where there is a mix of languages, i.e. 95% english and 5% target language.
- They aquire target language vocabularly through conversations and adventure.
- They USE target language vocabularly to speak with specific people, access specific options, do certain things.
- When a new target language word is encountered it enters a COMPENDIUM.
- Words in the compendium are KNOWN, they have an english translation, or UNKNOWN, there is no english translation yet.
- Known words can be used in the game in order to access answer certain questions or achieve certain things.
- Players must search for the definitions of unknown words so that they can start to use them in game.
- I have searched for bilingual, multilanguage plugins but have only found things for changing the entire game to a different languange. Do you think it would be technically possible to write a plugin that handles two languages in game?
- Alternative to a bilingual plugin do you think it would be feasible to create target language vocabulary and compendium entries as items?
- Do you think it would be possible to create a plugin that would allow users to 'look up' words during conversations, e.g. search their compendium for word meaning.
Thanks for you help and thoughts.
All the best,
Adam

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.
