Title: Pros and Cons of RPGMaker
Post by: Scarface Larry on June 07, 2005, 11:50:58 PM: The title says it all, again. What do you like and dislike about RPGMaker? I like making maps events, char-battle-charsets, and making battle-animations. I dislike programming all those items and skills, it gets tedius, as does programming common events for things like day-night systems, or for a CBS-CMS, also because I usually press "cancel" instead of "ok". Once I actually had to make one char 5 times over because I kept pressing "cancel".

What I hate is making graphics. I can make a semi-decent characterset if I take my time, but nothing big like monster graphics or battlechars. I also don't really like to keep altering the monsters' stats so they can be the right difficulty for the heroes when they are a certain level, it takes FOREVER sometimes.

Also beta testing and testing maps and stuff is cool :D

The only thing I don't like to do is figure out all of the stats, and balancing the heros, items, monsters, and bosses. Makes my head hurt... :yell:

Post by: WarxePB on June 08, 2005, 02:31:19 AM: The only thing I dislike about RPGMaker is map-making and chipsets. I love to draw (even though I'm no good at it), and I also like to code. The database stuff is somewhere in the middle - don't like it, don't hate it.

Post by: danilynnarthur on June 08, 2005, 03:14:26 AM: Coding is my worst. Figuring out monster strength, item functions, weapons... i'm still having trouble with that...

I also have problems with map making, especially worldmaps.

Dislikes: Actually making the game.

Post by: SaiKar on June 08, 2005, 06:45:07 AM: I like it all, from the drawing to the coding. The one thing I dislike is how much time it eats up.

Post by: Sephiroth rocks on June 08, 2005, 07:40:50 AM: I like everything (especially coding actually) except the kind of events you have to copy hundreds of times (as I had to do with my equipment system, it took forever!).

Tomi is the one I agree with most, although my CMSs suck, but the maps were good :) Making the charsets is good, but I hate making sprite size B-chars, which is why we need a Sprite-Size B-char generator. But the maps and Char-making is my favorite.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on June 08, 2005, 06:39:05 PM: I love making the database for some reason. I HATE making events; faceset, message, type, faceset, message, type, over and over.
