GENERAL HELP FOR WHAT TO DO AND WHAT MEDIUM TO USE

Hello everyone on RMN ,I have started making a game and have outlined most of what I want to include and I even I started making resources (sprites, roughly making some simple music and a map.) The tool I'm currently using is RPG Maker XP as I have no scripting knowledge.

The project came to somewhat of halt partly due to many things happening outside of game creating, but also in part due to the fact whilst I do occasionally like making digital art, I didn't enjoy the spriting and the map-making as much as other things such as developing the lore, composing the music and doodling the concept art.

What I want from what I ever I make in the end is a combination of these elements and for the person to find out the lore by exploring the world and by examining the surroundings. I want the person experiencing it to have to search for clues in the environment and piece things together for themselves. I did intend for some combat as well.

I will elaborate more on specifics if need be as I understand I'm being a bit vague at the moment but in summary my main issue what other potential mediums and/or engines could I use?

I have contemplated the other possibility of forming a team to make it but I'm sure as of yet and I will make a separate post if I intend to recruit anyone.


Thanks very much for reading :)
