RPG Maker Forums

Following the cajoling of Ms Littlefish, here I am, introducing myself ridiculously late.

I joined the forum in August 2012 (yup, nearly 2 years ago) with zero intention of making games.  I only joined as it was another site where I could try out rpgmaker games.  That's all.  No other reason.  But over time I found myself thinking "I wonder if I could do that?"  So at the beginning of 2013 I launched myself at it and here I am still.  One game released, another almost finished.

I feel a slightly odd fish at times in this community.  I have never owned a console (I was a remarkably serious child, with no interest in video games) and it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I came across an rpgmaker game, played it, got hooked.  What this means, though, is that I have never, ever played any of the 'classics'.  You won't see me extolling the virtues of Chrono Trigger.  I wouldn't know a Final Fantasy if I found one floating in my soup.  All the references to so many of the 'canonical' games are lost on me.  But I get by.

I keep myself going by drinking green tea (not ordinary black tea, hate the stuff), though it has been known for a glass of fine wine to make me forget all about tea.  When I'm writing I can get through gallons of the stuff (tea, that is, not wine.  Wine is not good for clear writing!) and I think probably my writing is my strongest ability.  Mapping is coming along nicely, skills are getting really rather good, and I'm becoming much more proficient with graphics (though still a very long way to go)..  But scripts!  Ah, scripts.  I do not think my relationship with scripts will ever blossom into a deep and abiding friendship.

I enjoy the forum immensely, and have found so much help here.  I never expected it to be like this, having experienced some other sites.  Quite unique, in my opinion.

So yeah, here I am.
