What's your RPG Maker strong point?

[zuhane1]

Everyone is best at something with RPG Maker, like Meiscool with maps etc. Everyone is the best at something. What do you think you're the best at? Spriting? Maps? Coding? Storyline?

I think my strong point is my innovation, I have quite a good imagination and have invented strange custom levelling systems and lots of wacky ideas for my games.

EDIT: That reminds me, perfection. I can't have a single spelling mistake in tiny error in my game, it drives me nuts! Everything has perfect spelling down to the last capital letter.

I'm kinda good at everything. That isn't supposed to be obnoxious or anything, more like saying that if I had a report card on this, I'd have a B+ score in every field (writing, mapping, art direction, sound design, etc.)

If I had to say what I'm best at, it would be structure. I know how to keep things organized and consistent. I'm always going through game, character, and world design articles to make sure my game stays focused.

I guess I'm innovative, too innovative. I always get these "awesome" ideas that just won't fit in my current project and I have to start all over. Again and again.

I'd say story and music are my strong points. Although, I must admit that I haven't worked on a game for a long time. I've been busy writing a musical with a friend of mine.

I'd like to think I make some pretty good plots.  Not sure if that's true or not, but whatever.  And since none of you know anything about my game, no one can really verify that, either.

I'm also highly imaginative and funny, or so I'm told.  I like to put in little things like wizards who randomly disappear if you say 'Get away from me, freak!'  I'm detail-oriented, so I often spend hours at a time smoothing out all the little things, and making sure my chipsets and what-not work right.  That's probably why everything takes so long for me...

Spriting? I dunno.

[Roland_Deschain2]

Story, duh. I write actual short stories and am still working on my novel trilogy, so...
Oh, and plus the fact that I'm extremely average in every other aspect.
My report card would be all C's except in story, which would be either an A or A+, I'm not sure....
Yes, I like using more than one period. It's fun.

I'd get a B+ for sprite editing, an A- for mapping, an A++++++ for making fucked up gory stuff. and a C or B for everything else.

You're probably best at programming, from what I noticed.

For me, it's definitely story. I'm ok at sprites, and I can do pretty good edits and custom stuff, but mainly, I'm a story writer.

Programming, mapping, etc, I suck at. Thus why the Charas game has failed... because no one would do those jobs.

Thank You! That means a lot since I kinda considered that my weakspot.

I'm sorry to hear that the game went down. I was really supporting it.  Maybe you could post about it. No use trying to make a surprise if you don't have much to show for it I guess...

Lessee here, In order from best to worst:

Story writing
Spriting
Mapping
Music selection
Programming
-
-(Here's where I begin to suck completley)
-
Database organization
Music composition


Yeah, I've been told I do pretty good jobs on the stories and characters. Spritework is pretty obvious, maps are alright, and I always do strive to choose my music well. Programming is okay, though I don't particularly rock at it.

Now for the database; if you go into any of my games, you'll notice that, most of the time, items are just clumped up in random piles. Thing about that is; I don't want to use extraneous resources on empty item slots, so I clump 'em up into one little ball. It's alright for me, but makes things wonky in the inventory screens in the game. Arrg. As far as actual music composing goes, I suck. End of story.

And did the Chain game really die?!

I was hoping AFL was just taking his time, but I haven't seen him around.

Anyway, as for me, it's music and story all the way. However, whenever I develop a story, it becomes too big of a project for me to do, so anything I do end up making myself won't really focus that much on the story. I can do 8-bit sounds since making NES sounds is done the same was as making music, but I can't do anything more advanced than that. I'd say I'm a B grade coder and about a C+ to B range spriter, depending on how much time I take, which usually isn't a whole lot. As for mapping, I guess I'd be about a B+ (once again depending on how much time I take).

I think Shady is talking about the Community game, the other game that's supposed to be made.
