HOWDY!

My name is Amber and I posted the demo for my first RPGMaker game Parallels a while back. I'm currently working on the next major update for it, and I'm planning on snooping around the forums here a bit to learn some more about RPGMaker/gamemaking in general, and maybe collaborate with others on projects in the future.

I am an animation student and I have taken classes on game development before (though that class focused on teaching us how to create games in GameMaker). I also have a history of writing music, but I prefer working on visual arts and storytelling.

Looking forward to participating in the community!

I believe we used GM Studio in my class? I don't remember exactly but I remember at the time of the class there was some special where the entire setup was free to download for students or something like that so it was really great! I ended up making a platformer for my final for the class, but I didn't upload it for public play because it wasn't as finely tuned as I would have liked (6 weeks to make a game from scratch on top of the other art-related finals I had to do, you can imagine the hell I was going through LOL)

I like that GameMaker lets you make a wider variety of games, but right now I'm liking to experiment with RPGMaker because I'm more interested in story/RPG style games!

Also thanks for the welcome!
