http://www.phylomortis.com/html/rmxp1.html This looks like an awesome game for Windows. Is it out in Japan, yet? If so, can you fix it to be in english? Ok, one more question, since its a computer type game, could you make your own online "World", like Graal? Thanks
Nope, dude, it's pretty much the same thing as RPGamer, only with prettier sprites and tiles, and new file formats to import. Though, that's pretty cool. Not very likely that you can make your own online stuff, but you could make a very impressive game in english. Too bad the dude that translated the original one is no longer around to translate this one, likely - since I've been pretty interested in this software since I last found it like a year ago. I sort of made a game with the first version (translated into english from russian from japanese) - but with only midi support and no bitmap import function for the tilesets, it's kind of draconian to build stuff with it. I really really want an english version of XP, though, it'd be da bomb.
The BGM also supports .wav files.....and if you are clever you can compress the wav files to be relativly small (so as to not make the game filesize huge). I did that with my RPGmaker2000 game to make the music better
Indeed. Back then, that site was the most awesomest thing ever. You know, with Brad, then all the stuff about Googleshng's gender, and the editorials section back in the 90s. It rocked.
Can you put your own music in this game? Im thinking of making a comical Dungeons and dragons game. :-D When you see the game over screen...this song plays. "Hey, dude...dont make it bad..." :smt043
That site still rocks. I got there to check up on the new rpgs coming out. They have an awesome database of rpg games, relased or not! But here is a good site I dont think anyone knows. http://terror.snm-hgkz.ch/mirrors/www.thegia.com/mirror/psx/arms/armsart1a.html The only RPG website that has the original Wild arms artwork!!!
if rpg maker xp is the same thing (or an evolution) of rpg maker 2000 or 2k3, yes you can, as well as alot of other things. with some patches, by exemple, you can play mp3 tunes in your game. :smt045
I don't know if you guys know this but the site says "RPG School XP" dunno if they're the same or what, because I've never used any of this soft. IMO, if you're going to make a game, do it the long, boring and REAL way.
I would if I could, mister Kyuusaku, but truth is, I'm only one guy, and I don't know C++ or Java. Any recommended way to start learning?
Iunno, the best place to start, maybe Visual Basic? If you're an artist, draw your own sprites etc for use in RPG maker if possible then play around with VB second, thats what I'd do
Yeah, it's called RPG School (well i can only assume 「ツクール」 is school - dunno why they don't use 「スクール」) in Japan, but for some reason the dodgy translations of the previous games always had "maker" in English stuck over the kana. I don't get it. Where there ever official translations before that called it RPG Maker or something?
RPG Tsukuru As far as PC releases go Don Miguel (fake name of some Russian guy) released "RPG Maker 95" around 1999 (all I remember is that I was in high school), and re-released it about a year later with some improved functionality and more of the error codes translated under the name "RPGMaker95+". Both became known as RM95 and RM95+, later ASCII's newer 2000 version was translated again in assocciation with Don Miguel and dubbed "RPGMaker2000" or "RM2K". I don't know how it was translated to be a "maker" but I do know that DM used some crappy program to actually do the translations (from Japanese to Russian to English) and not an affluent knack for the languages. I was pretty active in the late RM95+ and RM2K days, I was even head moderator on TWO of the RM2K boards (the boards were erased [not always by administration] and moved every 6-9 months because they seemed to attract all the worst sort of posters and fall into a spiraling decay). I became uninterested in the whole thing and after the second board change I declined to be instated as a moderator. I've heard and old poster and oft-times moderator named "RPG Advocate" (who had a penchant for misusing overly elaborate words and condescending his detractors) translated the newest release of ASCII's RPG creation suite. ~Krelian
I'm not sure about the newer iterations of the app, but I do know that you could hard-code in C and import it into RM2K (thereby having complete control over the material and just using the pre-made RM interface). A good example of this would be the RM game Jump! by a programmer named New_Age. (Jump! actually isn't an RPG at all but a Dance Dance Revolution clone made only to show that it was possible) ~Krelian
RM95, RM95+, RM2K Nope, I don't think I was even a member... I was only a moderator on two of Don Miguel's "official" RM boards and a member on a few other boards that pertained to Don Miguel's iterations of RPG Maker. ~Krelian
I think it's a pun or wordgame or some sort of japanese humour. School - Suku-ru - スクール The verb to make - Tsukuru 作る つくる You combine and make - Tsuku-ru ツクール So I think that's what's going on with the name.
Oh yeah, never thought it could be a pun. The Japanese sure do like their puns after all... and abbreviations... and acronyms - pretty much anything to confuse us filthy gaijin even more...
