I think RPGM 3 is Absolutly Beautiful. and i think people will get over their opinions and learn to deal with the tools at hand, like we've always done. If you're going to be creative, you must be adaptive. anyone who cant adapt to this tool should just go learn C++ or whatever, and make that super customizeable beast their talking about.

exactly.

some people have great imaginations and just cannot use this tool. it oesnt mean anything is wrong with him.

RPG Maker 3 does not provide a large array of features like RPGM2 did, so it is going to be useless to some people.

I have an active imagination and know what it is I'm looking to do when I try and make things. It's why I'm a bit frustrated now.

I know how you feel. I had a ton of great ideas, but I don't know if they're plausible with RPG Maker 3. I don't have the game yet, but when I do get it, I'll check out how it works and see just what kind of variety I have in terms of characters and world creation. Those two parts are the heart of the games you can make as it somewhat defines what kind of story you can make with it.

It may be limiting, but I think it will be easy to get around them.

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

some projects are just a bit too ambitious for the current RPG Maker. it's been that way since the beginning and will continue to be so until they get the core formula absolutely perfect. one of my games may be a bit too much for 3 as well but i'm not gonna let a $60 game go to waste.

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

... $60?

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

not really but i hate odd numbers. paid $53 for it. i'm not that stupid, lol

but still that's two months of saving for me right now and i'm nt gonna waste that kind of money. i'll just adapt to the tools in 3.

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

I mean people can use it, and probably make some cool games. But don't expect to make anything that doesn't have anything to do with a medieval/samarai theme to it.

That's just the thing though. There is not much that you can adapt.

I bet ixzion's gonna make a farming sim.

its what he does.

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

most of my games involve that setting for the most part. i just feel comfortable with it. i'm just glad the elves look somewhat cool again.

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

I was going to actually do a SIM with it myself, though it was kinda going to be a bit different. If, by some way, I can make the head place look the way i want it to, then I'll try using this to make it. No guarantees.

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

The only thing I'm disappointed in is that apparently you can't have characters talk through events while staying in 3D. It's not the end of the world, but I was hoping to create cutscenes that were the same gameplay. I might just be missing something, but so far, I can't see another way to do cut scenes between action.

i always liked this format. but i can see how it'd kinda suck.

Re: The official "I've got RPGMAker 3" thread.

If you'd have asked me an hour ago my reaction to RM3 was: Rather Disappointed. But now it's: This is so cool! What changed my mind? I just threw together a quick character with one spell, a winding cave maze dungeon, a freakishly ugly field, and a little bit of a town with one house and a puppy in front of it. Did all this in minutes and it was easy and fun. My favorite parts have been the class and dungeon editor. You can make a lot of choices as to the fighting ablilites of your character's class. I loved the skill editor, it was like RM2's except without making your own VFX (which I'm not any good at anyway). And the dungeon editor is just plain cool. I just drew some curvy lines and BAM! it turned into a very cool cave maze which I instantly got lost in. Oh and I also made a monster party with the Hellminion. That's without a doubt my favorite monster.

BTW, it seems that quite a few of the character models have a color option that looks like a super hero (even some with eye masks) and also most have an evil-looking color for those who wanted more playable monster models. For instance, Thief Color Opiton 3 looks like a goblin. And Warrior Color Option 3 looks like a zombie.

finally, a good bit about it.

all this focus on the negative aspects of it was starting to make me rethink my purchase.
