RPG Maker Forums

I've had VX Ace for a few years now and I've bought a ton of DLC for it. I haven't made anything complete yet though but I have a lot of ideas. I want to make something I would enjoy playing. Something nostalgic. The RPGs I enjoyed most growing up were Pokemon and Dragon Warrior Monsters. I still play Pokemon to this day and I tried Dragon Quest Monsters Joker and found it sorely dissapointing.

What I would love to do is make my own spiritual successor to DWM. Not a fan game but an original game with it's own story and it's own characters with very similar mechanics in breeding and monster raising and dungeon crawling. (My two favorite parts of DWM were the random dungeon portals and the monster breeding)

So I want to make this game, this is the project I want to spend my time on. Ideally I would like to learn to make my own tilesets and characters and monsters for this game. And perhaps even chiptunes. I want a gameboy retro style. However I was coming here to see if there were any good tutorials for learning to do those sorts of things, I'm not a bad artist at all so I do have some experience. But like I said before I own quite a bit of the DLC on my Steam account. I was thinking the RPG Maker DS and DS+ Tiles and characters and the Tyler Warren first fifty second fifty and third fifty battlers would make good monsters to use in a breeding sim. I was thinking I could try and make my own Charset party members based on those with some practice. It might take less time that making all the graphics for my game myself from scratch but I don't know if it would be as satisfying. Some advice would be appreciated here.

The next question is, How hard is it to learn to script? I've been wanting to do this for some time and I think I'll need it to make this game just the way I want it. If anyone knows any good places I can learn RGSS3 I'd appreciate that too.

Anyway thanks for your time.
