RPG Maker 3... we are over!

[Ceciroth]

I made a game for RPG Maker 2 when it came out. I spent 100 hours on it and only got a 1 hour game out of that (it did have lots of little cinematics though). This time around, I was more interested in telling a story, and RPGM3 seemed like the better choice for doing just that.

And while the storyteller in RPGM3 is fun, and the ease of programming the game is a welcome change, the strict limitations set on the developer (mostly in regards to the battle system, which I really do hate, and the less good music, character alterability, and the LOW LOW number of 'decorations' with which to brighten up your environments), have left me feeling that, though making my game in RPGM2 will take much, much longer, it will be more worth it in the end.

Thus, fellow boardees, I bid you farewell. If there are any still around that wouldn't mind answering some questions (which I'm sure will come up, considering it's RPGM2 we're talking about!), I will be posting on the RPGM2 board, dead as it may be.

Enjoy making your games!

W00T! Two people who'll be asking RPGM2 questions now. Isto està muito excelente! Hm.. I wonder if that was correct. Damn Portuguese language!

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

... There should be a topic just for people to flame about how bad RPGM3 is. We know you don't like RPGM3 because it's limiting, but you don't have to make a new topic just telling us that you don't like it and are going to switch back to RPGM2.

Saying that RPGM3 is no good and that RPGM2 is way better shows lack of experience. There are many very good RPGM3 games, you might want to try them out and learn a bit from them.

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

My good man. I am an experienced game maker. I created a WORKING ATB system in TURING when I was a kid. I created an RPG with Basic. I created a game with RPGM1, and 2, and I was quite well into my game with 3.

My post was NOT about how RPG Maker 3 sucked. Indeed, it is quite a handy tool, IF you're not all that interested in presentation. The game is limiting and to deny that is simply folly.

I'm sure that there are plenty of good games that have been made with RPGM3, but the POTENTIAL to make a better game lies with RPGM2, and why I'm not allowed to, upon rational and well-articulated grounds, express that point of view, you do not have the right to decide.

And to Drye. I look forward to your advice when the time will come that I need some help.

-Peace out.

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

RPG Maker 3 lacks on the flexibility of customization and RPG Maker 2 is way better for such and has the potential to make much better games, that's a fact. People will have to accept it, move on and either enjoy RPG Maker 3 for what it is, or don't.

UH, anyone wanna sell their copy of RPGM2 to a hobo who's down on his luck? No?! Well, anybody wanna sell their copy to me then??


I been looking for over 6 months now and RPGM2 is SO hard to find it isn't even funny....

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

Heh. You should've been like me and bought it the day it came out, after never playing the first one.

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

Yeah, but I looked at the box in the store and I just couldn't get over the terrible graphics... I wish that I bought it then cuz I haven't been able to find it again anywhere!!! Plus, now that I have 1 and 3 I wanna get 2 so that I can own the whole shebang!

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

Yea 2 has that gameboy graphic feel to it...lol

The store I bought it from gets it every now and then, if you have a cell or free LD I can give you their phone # and you can call them every now and then, if they have it i can drop by there on my way to work sometime and pick it up for you and we'll just swap the cost for the game

I got mine for $14.99 so they shouldnt increase in price

$15?! The only time I've ever seen it was for like $45 (in the store) and on E-Bay (w/o box or anything) for $30... I just can't see spending that much on a disk, but I guess whoever won the bid did...

I'd be more than happy to get my hands on a copy (for, well, anything under $50 would be nice...) and I have 2 other buddies working on it for me as well (I've been at this for a while now) but I have no objections to getting another helping hand.

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

ya it was $15 but there was no case, no manual, and the disc had a few scratches on it, im goin out to backstage video and seeing if they can rebuff it

Im kind of scared of doing that though, I rebuffed RPGM1 and after that it always froze when you went to save it, so i had to go out and buy another copy

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

I just ordered RPGM2 off of half.com yesterday for 11.75 (after shipping). Says it comes with everything and from an adult home. There is another one for around the same price. Can't wait to see what it's like.

Re: RPG Maker 3... we are over!

I paid 17.99 for my copy of RPGM2 with original case and manual at my local Gamestop. I don't think I got ripped off.
