RPG Maker related brainstorm

[Crimson Knight]

I thought RPG Maker users would want to hear about this more than anything.

It's been a while since we've seen a decent RPG Maker released. Some people still use the previous software iterations, and that's great. But many realize, that the current iterations we have now, are just too limited for our imaginations... Our creativity grows, but the software does not. This got me thinking... Why not create OUR OWN RPG Maker software!? Of course due to legal reasons, it probably couldn't be called RPG Maker bleh...

I dunno. I have a lot of programming knowledge under my belt, and I thought it'd be cool to make a RPG creation tool that was not only moderately flexible, but easy to use. It's possible overall, it's just a LOT of work. Wishful thinking I suppose.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Well I think it's a good idea, but I'll I could do is offer suggestions because I have no idea how to actually make a game other then RPGM's. Although very ambitious I like the idea.

I dream of creating video games. I even think up the ideas in my spare time. So this sounds like a good idea.

Re: RPG Maker related brainstorm

Ive made a RPG Maker before using visual basic, didnt spend much time on the tilesets so it kind of sucked.

However I do know how to create every aspect of RPGM3 with exception to 3D rendering, if I knew that Im sure I could create an exact duplicate of RPGM3 on the PC that could incorporate most of the RPGM4 Wishlist(After all, it would be on the PC...no memory constraints)

But I wouldnt do that, even naming it under something different, for the simple reason that I would take away from Agetecs future success in the series(even the simplest of RPG makers users can create out there would affect agetec in some way), and thus would actually be a negative impact on the pavilion(as the illegal RPGM's were on the PC, mine would be legal, but would still have the same impact as one of the illegal ones, possibly more so since it would be legal to distribute in the US)

If you know what Im saying, I cant morally do something like this

But you can though if you want to

Let's say that were true JPS...who said there was no way in hell we could get the help of a corporate entity?

Many possibilities here. Let's keep it that way for now though.

Re: RPG Maker related brainstorm

We could, but we'd be aiding in the demise of the pavilion, the mag and the RPGM series, unless Agetec accepted, and I dont think theyre up for that

Its a great idea, dont get me wrong, but I dont know how well it would sit with higher ups that we're trying to outdo the RPG makers and would offer it as freeware or even sell it. Ive spent a lot of time at this board and I wouldnt give this place up for a better RPGM

You know if we made this thing Valk wouldnt let us talk about it

I think he would. It's not illegal.

Re: RPG Maker related brainstorm

But if the Pav community was involved, Then I think it would be good because it will just give everyone here something else to use and discuss. Also, maybe it's a good thing for Agetec/Enterbrain because they may decide to create a newer better maker which would DEFINATLY sell to everyone here, despite the pav members making a free maker. I don't think that if the people here made a maker
(even if it turned out great), it would cause everyone to forget and stop using newer PC and console makers created by Agetec. Just my opinion.

Re: RPG Maker related brainstorm

I dont know, Im kind of swaying on both sides of the issue, I know me and Crimson Knight(If he lets me assist) could pump one out, Ill just wait and see what Valk says on the subject.

Tell you the truth Id be pretty anxious to get this thing on the road

I don't have any coding knowledge, but I am willing to help out in whatever way I can.
