I finished a few games, but they died along with my computer never to be seen again :/

Right now I'm getting close to completing my current game. I only have 15 or 20 maps left to make, a little reworking with the battle system, a few mini games, and hey it'll be done.

I agree with you. I almost had an entire plot figured out for one of my games, but since no one would help me, I lost motivation and trashed it.

See, thats why all ya'lls games failed. You actually care what others think about it. If you like your game and idea that should be enough to keep going. If you don't screw you. Besides, you feel more pride for finishing a game on your own than if tons of people helped you.

Well, I can't feel good about the game unless I actually have the resources to make it, and the only department I really have any skill in is music and plot. I can't get far with music and plot.

I know a page where you can get them. But, is it illegal to post sites of where to download the RPG_RT.exe file, but not the RTP?
If it is not, I can tell you.

You're a lot like the gfx whores. If a game doesn't have good graphics, it will not last. You phail at life.

Since when do graphics matter? I don't have an XBOX or PS2 because I don't give a damn about graphics. All the games I like are on cube. If you can make a good game with okay graphics, only an ignorant asshat won't like it.

I believe that we have a charaset genorator and a buttload of complete resources, all for you to choose from.

EDIT: Oh, and I suck hard at making music and sound effects, but its not holding me back.

If you call me a graphics whore, then tell me:  Would you care at all if in the game, the hero were a dot, and a normal house looked like an Escher painting?

It's all too common for people to just lose interest in their projects it seems though, or that it's just too much for them since they ussually run the project alone or with little help.

I personally have no intentions of showcasing a project on Charas since I for a fact know that it wouldn't go anywhere, and I never have enough time to dedicate myself to that kind or ordeal.


I'll just stick with composing for one main project at a time, that's pretty demanding as it is.
Freelancing on the side is always good though too, right Ace -_^

Post by: Rune_of_Punishment on July 02, 2005, 09:55:11 PM

As long as the story is good.

Seriously though, I could live just fine if the graphics were sub par if the story was good.

You don't get the point, do you?

Graphics don't make a game. Good-looking graphics are nice, sure, but if the plot is good, then why bother caring?

Isn't this same discussion going on in another thread by CoolZidane?

I'll never trash mine.
I have reason enough to keep going, and I'm not letting anything stop me.

You still shouldn't forget that video games are overall a visual experience an graphics have a great part in the game's fun factor.

It's true, but graphics is just ONE element of the many others.

Since when will your hero be a dot? Find one on the net! There are hundreds of decent charsets out there!

I've finished two decent games, both mainly using rtp, and one crappy one, completely using rtp. GO RTP!!!

Post by: kadeity on July 04, 2005, 11:45:20 PM

well....

MY POINT is that everyone gets soooo distracted.
very very few games EVER get finished.

I honestly wish i could find a way to make it so several different people could do things for a game at once.

You can import maps right? (never tried too so i dunno)
if so, then one preson could do one portiend of the game and another do another and so on and so forth.

Honestly i reaallly think that if we made a community project with a singular idea, and someone realized that STORY is THE biggest part then wed be fine.

Story is also the HARDEST part.

Losts of people, including myself, start a game without a single thing written down on paper...except a few dreams and scattered ideas.

Being that games are ALOT like movies, a script is pretty much essential. Have i ever written a script?

Heck no.

Am i gonna?
Prolly so, bc i realize this is the only way ill EVER finish my games.

My biggest problem is i want to make 3 GAMES.

_i really wanna make an Oregon Trail rpg... (you ahve died of disentary)
_i really wanna make a game called Final Fantasy remix, which takes several porular characters from FF games and reconcieves them in much the same way that KingdomHearts did...for example, in my game Seifer is Sephiroths son.
_i also really have a mixed up game thats alot like ff1...

but are any of these EVER gonna get done...i hope so...but probly not. WE all do have lives... and we dont ahve a TEAM or a Script....

we just have dreams.

if that gets your game done...right on...
but if not...well...

sorry.

i for one am gonna go write a script.

Actually there was a game finished ... kijuki posted the link a page back it was by SMB. Also didn't Robotam finish his game?

though The way I see RM2K/3 for is a starter for people who want a career in Game making or that just wanna make a game of there ideas.

I use it for both, I try to make games that I wanna see happen or "Remake" a game with my touch up's (Eample: FFTNB [Final Fantasy The New Beging] which was a FF game with characters all from FF 7,8,9, and 10 plus my own added FF characters)

But I also use RM2K to get me started on my career in Game Making .... even though I may not finish a game I discover the reason's as to why and it will help me in the future when I do make games.

Yes I would though actually like to finish a game but what happens is one of the following and I'm sure it happens to everyone on charas.

1: I Come up with another Idea for a game and stop working on my current project to work on the new idea.

2: Don't have enough time to work on the game I am making.

3: I didn't plan out before making the game and now it turned to crap.

4: My computer crashes and lost all my info and don't want to restart all over again cuz it's too much a hassle.

------------------------

Though I'm not concerned much with the graphics of the game ... Yes I don't want it to look really sucky but I am positive someone could use all "ORIGINAL" RTP and still make a game better than ones out on the market.

Some games in my opinion are actually better with cheasy graphics. Look at suikoden Personaly I liked the Suikodens 1 style of graphics better than Suikodens 3 ... it suited it better i think.

A game is all about the story, characters and developement of it. Graphics are only a small part. There sorta like movies. Some movies are really great and had no special effects or minimal effects due to not much money and still make it big.

Just give it time though and you will soon see completed games arise on charas ... Hopfully I'll be adding Ledgends Of Purgatory to those completed games. This time I'm actually planning it out first and making the game slowly so it won't be out for a while.

If you think about it, games are created by many people. possibly hundred working on different things. Did you bother to watch the credits for some RPGs? Their almost as long as Movie Credits. So when you give one person the resources to create a game, it's like giving an ant a rock and telling him to build a colony.

You may say a game is like a movie, but unlike movies, you're building an entire world. And every place, detail, and person in that world has to be created.

Along with the story, graphics, music, systems, a game can be too much for some people. So for those who get even a demo out, they should be proud, even if the game does get ranked 1.5 by Ghostclown.

What it boils down to is RPG Maker is just a game, and as teen-agers we all have enough things going on that can slow us down. We just gotta remember that's all for fun. Why else would we do it?

I've finished 2 games, they might suck but still, they're finished and one day i might let everyone see them. All I have to do is fix my music, and find a site to host them. Anyway whatever, some games get finished just not released.

i love charas.

to be honest, i really enjoy editing resources more than making my games...

i dunno. i was just wondering how many of us actually finish these things.
