Hey....why is the message board for RPG maker 3 only 2 pages long now? Didn't it used to be bigger? And how do I browse old postings (without using the search feature)?
I've come across a stumbling block in my game. I intended to make 4 areas (North, South, East, and West), which would entail using about 25% of the available memory for each area. I'm currently working on my second area, and have only finished the first town....and already am at almost 50% usage rate. The two solutions I can think of are to cut it down to three areas, or use multiple files. Unfortunately, the second choice cannot really be utilized in my game, as it is open-ended to the degree that you need to go back to earlier areas later in the game in order to get special items, further the plot, etc. So I think instead of a 15-20 hr. game, it's looking more like 12-15 hrs. As ambitious as my game is, that is really too short. As I've mentioned on these boards before, I'm trying to incorporate an alignment system, multiple endings, and two different guilds you can pick to join in order to give my game some replay value. It seems after going through all this trouble, the game will be over before it really begins. I'm kind of disappointed with how things are turning out. So, sorry for ranting on and on about my problems, but the title of the post WAS random musings. Thanks for letting me spill. I try to discuss these problems with some of my friends, but as they are not into RPG Maker, or RPGs in general, they seem to care less what I am telling them. Again, thanks!
