How'd you hear about RPG Maker?
« on: June 08, 2006, 12:09:39 AM »
     Once upon a time, I'd say over 5 years ago, I had a friend who was playing FF8. I played the game for a bit, then decided get it. It was sold out so I got FF7 which blew me away because it was the first RPG that I had fun with. (I was always playing fighting and racing games. I already had FF4 at the time but I didn't like it. I didn't even here about FF6 for years.)
     I went back to Best Buy, they still didn't have FF8 but I saw the Playstation RPG Maker instead. It said you could create your own RPG games. I got it and tried to make a FF7 Clone. It wasn't fun, wasn't done, and it sucked.
      A month later, I looked over the net to try and sell it (Like I knew what I was doing). I found RPG Maker 2000 through google and downloaded it. It was a lot more fun and easier to use. I think the first game I played was Legion Saga 2.
How'd you hear about it?

BTW: My fanboyed clones from my first game are still there as Gale and Colt. They have new personalities and no intentional refrences to Cloud and Sephiroth though.

Like 5-6 years ago a friend of mine had RM2K on his comp. I would use it on his for about a year, then he deleted it. I got RM2K a few years later and voila.

About a year and a half ago, my friend (DarkFlood2, to be specific) told me that he was making an RPG. About a year ago, he gave me a copy of his [strike]terrible[/strike] game, along with a copy of the RM2K3 installer. Shortly after, I joined the forums 'round these parts.

Thus, the legendary tale of Archem2 is told.

I saw the RPG Maker for Playstation and bought it. Then one of my friends showed me RM2k, which is LOADS better than that crappy Playstation one. :p

I played part of a game I got from download.com.com. When I saw that it was made with Rm2k, I searched and then downloaded it.


I still have the PSX RPGmaker, too. Never used it once. It looks brand new. Now, fighter maker on the other hand...

Also I think I played that same game!

Don't really remember that... though I think it was boredom that lead me to RPGmaker.

Well, about one and a half year ago...Or maybe even 2 years...Well anyway mybrother went to visit our cousin, we always borrow games from him, well my brother borrow them but make me play for him...
But, I always used to make maps with the Heroes oMaM III mapmaker, it was easy, sweet and I ruled. Then I started too play Warcraft III and began to make maps there too. WellŽ, I played some of my maps with my cousin while he visited us last time so he knew what I could do.
So when my brothere visisted him he transfered the rpgmaker to my brothers Mp3 and I put it on my computer and 'Ta-da'.

Then after the computer chrash a year ago I found the rpgmaker on the web after alot of searching and I joined Charas.

My tale's better because it's legendary.

I don't remember. I was doing something with Kazaa (looking for a 2D RPG I guess) when I saw it and downloaded it. It was the spanish version though... and it wasn't untill about 2 years passed that I got the english version. Course, I didn't really start using it untill I got the english version.

About three eyars ago, I was searching for an FF6 ROM, and I found some sort of RM game using FF graphics. "RPG Maker" intrigued me, so I searched it up on MSN, and found a link to RM2K. I joined a few forums, asked for help and such, and ended up downloading RM2K3 and finding Charas. Woot.

About 5 years ago I was on a school computer and I found a RM2k Game on it. I played it and later searched for the program. 5 years later, here I am. Thanks to that I do what I do now since that program got me to come here, and then I met some people here and now I am a web designer. I think now, if I didnt  ever play that game, download RPG maker, come here. I wouldnt know and do everything I can do now, or know all the friends I've made. wierd. one action can cause a bigger one.
