Another idiot interested in RPG Maker Nodev 10/23/16 (Sun) 15:50:11 756f24 No.27949

So.. I saw RPG Maker Ace VX is on a 90% discount, only 6 €, and I'm seriously thinking about buying it to make some easy RPG, but then I noticed RPG Maker MV and I was thinking about waiting until it had a discount of that level.

I have no experience nor knowledge about programming, also don't know how Gamemaker will work in the end, yet I saw many people playing stupid RPG Maker games and thought that maybe... maybe... I could get some easy bucks if I work hard in a good RPG game using the engine and then after getting some experience and have some assets jump into Gamemaker and make a beat'em up spin off.

So... what is your recomendation besides stop being a faggot and actually learn how to program a game?

It's easy to be overambitious. Work on one thing at a time. Try creating a dungeon. By the time you've gotten it looking nice, you'll have picked up the tricks necessary to trick out the area around the dungeon.

Aside from that just make sure to keep working on it day by day.

Oh, you also need to kill this part of yourself. It doesn't serve you. It only distracts. You'll find yourself discouraged that you aren't making progress quickly enough as the goal of wealth remains as distant as ever. It'll encourage you to rush things with the justification of "the stupid fucks will buy anything" leading to an unfortunately early release.

Just worry about making a fun little game.

Well, I just want to make a 2d horror/thriller RPG with gun shots instead of magic. The thing is that I saw the two and MV looks much better, specially having an integrated side scroll battle. The easy buck part is just me trying to look more ambitious than I am to be honest, I just want to make a game about monsters in the forest and rednecks and the sheriff searching for lost people, at least to prepare some assets to do a beat'em up spin off where you play as one of the monsters.

So... should I wait for a 90% discount for RPG Maker MV? or will it never come?

I got RPG maker vx on sale with the same plan in mind.

And it is possible to make a game like that.

But a lot of things in Ib and blank dream ect. are done with extra tools that allow you to better customize the game menus, and text windows. These tools also looked a lot more complicated than the standard interface.

Anyway the things called the Luna Engine.

MV might allow you to customize all that stuff, with a friendlier UI, but I'm not sure if it does.

I figured it was better for me in the long run to get GMS off that humble bundle, and take one more stab at coding.

Sounds like a fun game. Good luck.

>So... should I wait for a 90% discount for RPG Maker MV? or will it never come?

VX Ace is on sale because of how old it is. So, although MV will probably get a 90% discount, it won't be for at least 2-3 more years. It wouldn't make sense to wait that long.

He should pirate it and then buy it if he ever releases his game for money, which we all know is extremely unlikely.

Does RPG Maker Games still start abysmally slow if your game is too big?
