    RPG Maker Text Game

    QB is QBasic, a VERY basic programming tool. If you spend a hell of a lot of time with it and take several college courses, you MAY get good enough to make Atari 2600 graphics. I still love it, though.

    I was thinking of making the game with some graphics, so no QB. I just love using RPGM, thats all. There is mostly 2 and 3-way choices, but its hard to explain exactly what I'm doing.

    Think of it as text adventures accompanied by pics.

    If you all must know, I was thinking of doing a Silent Hill fangame. I already have adequate art for the game, and I'd need a hell of a lot more on a different medium. I found a niche that I should be satisfied with in RPGM, even for this game. Only downer is that this SH game would have no original music, but whatever.

    There was an official SH game that was made like this (Silent Hill Play Novel for Gameboy Advance) but mine is still different. I guess I'm taking a SH story (it is a fanfiction I wrote 2 years ago) and making a text game out of it. I'll explain more later. Before I do this game, though, I have 2 other projects I have to get out of the way. Like Mencara Revelle for the contest. Assuming Valk is still doing it, with all the problems he's been having.

    RPG Maker Text Game

    Before I make a game that I have been planning for awhile, I'd like to get some opinions on the premise. As the title says, it will basically be a text only game in RPG Maker. There will be some graphics, but the story is told more than seen, a lot more.

    Just wondering how that sounds to people, if it would be worth it or not.

      Like, Zork or something?
      I guess it wouldn't be bad, I just think there are better platforms for it than RPGM. *shrug*

      Whatev. I'd play it.
      man your own jackhammer
      man your battle stations
      we'll have you dead pretty soon...

        I'd probably play it, but I'd need to see some screens/story first.
        1) Statement 2 is true
        2) Statement 1 is false

          I don't know whether or not I'm going to be doing this. And its funny you say screenshots... its a text game. Although I could show the artwork when its finished.

            How would the player input comands?

            And you'd have to build a libary in RPGMaker... seems like a whole lot of work when there are so many IF programs avliable for the PC.

                I would still play it on RPGmaker.

                  So would it be a bunch of 3/2 way questions?

                  What is QB?
                  1) Statement 2 is true
                  2) Statement 1 is false

                    I was already thinking about doing this on RPGM 3, but my poetry/short story unlocking game A Series Aside scratched that itch, I think. Although, I do have two short text-based adventure minigames within the game. So yeah, I'd play it, as I've already thought about making the same thing. I just think you would have to come up with a lot of written material to make it work, which could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you look at it.
