This is for posting your RPG Maker routine, how much time you give to your projects? And much time you give to this forum?

Here is mine!

Works - 3/4 hours per day on the maker!

Online - 8/9 hours per day, of course. It's real.

I'm in both at the same time unless I'm on the mac, so 10 forum and 0-10 Maker!

I have no routine. Or rather, I don't have a focused routine.





I often do a lot of multi-tasking. One which usually involves scripting, checking this site for new notifications or new topics/posts to reply to, and switching between XP, VX, and Ace.

This is my hobby. Some days, if I have the day off, I'll work the whole day on a project or on the resources for a project. But I have no dedicated routine. Like most things in life, it includes a lot of coffee drinking and milling about on the couch flipping Internet tabs and chatting with people.

Same here. Last Saturday, the one before this one, I worked on my project for +- 14 hours, it was going so well.

Now I have some exams that I have to study for, been like 6 days without RPG Maker.

I try to actually "work" on the project an hour a day. At least, any ways. Although it depends on a quite of few things going on.

If I'm in holiday and I want to procrastinate, I spent my time in forums all day

If I'm in holiday and I don't want to procrastinate, I spent my time in doing project, and take a little break by visiting the forums

If I'm not in a holiday, I usually spent most of my time in forums than project. Considering my time isn't that much

Nice routines! I think mine is slow, I am doing a lazy development. I don't like it here, I need to take these serious.

I work about 40 hours a week @ my actual job. Spend probably about 2 hours a day on the forums, usually while doing other things, like working with the RM and doing prelim stuff (pencil art for graphics, writing out dialogue, sketching maps, etc.) Pencil-&-paper work plus computer work probably comes out to about 3 or 4 hours a day.

Sometimes whole days will go pass with me not doing anything at all, and then you'll get those days where you work 3-4 hours straight on a project. 

I'm less active as of late as well ( more over at RMN nowadays ) so I can actually finish my games and not waste time on forums.

Most of my free time is spent working on a game. It depends on the days and whether I have other commitments, but it can range anywhere between 2-3 hours a day to maybe 2/3rds of the waking hours in a day. I always have the maker open so I can come back to it whenever I feel like adding more stuff to the game.

As for the forums, I tend to have them open for most of the day too, but I check stuff in small bursts, mostly when taking a break from game-making.

Once my schedules not so hectic, prob by September, will get back to Spriting whenever I have some free time. At the moment just working on my character before anything else. The story is safely locked in my head.  :ninja:

Probably about an hour a week, to be honest. At the moment. I used to have more time in the holidays.

Hi. Normaly i think this is mine: 3/4 hours on the maker :)
Now i have more time to do my proyect, so this number of hours could increase at any time

I think when you're doing good with the maker you can stay hours and hours, but if things don't go to well...

I'm not dedicated to my project. I merely treat it as a hobby. Its progress relies heavily when I feel like opening it. But that doesnt mean I'm willing to give that up. Not even likely. If I started something, I'll finish it. Because if I didn't, I'd feel so uncomfortable emotionally and physically.

But to answer the question, I normally spend 1 to 3 hours using RPG Maker XP. Most of my time either goes to composing, producing, or whatever it is that's related to audio.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD

Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such?
