[RM2K3] DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE?

author=DrDriscoll
I obviously agree but have you ever tried games that used rpg maker and wasn't an rpg? If so could you tell me how they were?

The only one i've played which I liked is this one https://rpgmaker.net/games/4610/ , it's a board game in tsukuru 2k3.

For a Street Fighter example, I do remember that Doom 4: End Game had a Street Fighter mini-game in it (which was really cool and really impressive for the time) during one of its multiple story branches that you can take. I do remember (although it’s been a while) that the mini-game was a bit on the laggy side and DEFINITELY not as responsive as an actual Street Fighter game would be…but it’s definitely possible to make!

But, yeah - it's possible to make all sorts of things in 2k3 - as I've seen and have played various different genres in it like board games, platformers, puzzle games...and even a god damn racing game to name some!

Now, how well it performs and how smoothly everything goes will entirely depend on you and how good you are when it comes to your overall eventing skills and general knowledge of the program; and even with that, you're still going to have to work around some of the engine's limitations when attempting to make some of these mini-games for yourself, as it won't come out entirely perfect. It's also a very arduous task that you could probably end up doing a lot better - and much faster - using a different type of program that's more tailor-made for it.

But, long story short: yes. Yes it is possible to make ALL of these things, even in one game!

Oh, and, um...just a quick heads up if you're planning on checking out Dooms 4: End Game for that Street Fighter example, it's...not exactly a very family friendly game as it contains violence, gore, nudity and some disturbing imaginary in it. It's...not TOO bad compared to other games that you would find or discover on the Deep Web that's much, much worse...but it's definitely something that you should know about before giving it a shot.

PacMan, not difficult but to make it great would be tedious.

Anything platform you want done well, needs to be done using pictures. RM2K3 isn't great for this.

I'm inclined to point this out - if you are already looking to stretch RPG maker beyond it's designed purpose, why would you limit yourself to making games which have already been made?

I strongly encourage you to think outside the box and build unique mini games. The limitations of rm2k3 can serve as inspiration for this, rather than being a limitation.

The whole RPG maker engine is limiting. Which is something I enjoy. It allows creativity, to overcome the obstacle that is it's engine is restricted to.

I concur. I can't wait until I get to the minigames portion of my current project. Want to see what I can do with a darts game.

Speaking about minigames do ya'll remember the RPG maker 2k3 game that was made to be a DDR game?

I think I vaguely remember posts about such a game in the lost/old RPG Maker games thread? Maybe it was in the other, older, thread?

*Edit: If nothing else, you could probably ask about in the aforementioned (and linked) thread.

I'm making a game that will utilize several minigames such as a Pac-Man, Mario and I want to try to do a Street Fighter minigame. Do you think it's possible to do in RM2k3?

I would think it would be a lot easier than making the normal game.
