Closeauthor=Jude link=topic=3215.msg63851#msg63851 date=1235746363... Maybe I should post my game document...author=kentona link=topic=3215.msg63848#msg63848 date=1235745757
Weird! All of my games have at least 10 pages (in a .txt file), if not more. AND I usually have an excel document filled with MORE data.
I find that if I don't write something down when I think of it, it's gone forever.
Writing your ideas down is different than mapping out your entire game in a Word document and then following it to the letter once you get started. Pretty sure everybody writes things down.
This is 1 of 15 text documents I have for Hero's Realm. I also have a 16 worksheet Excel document.
This particular one is herosrealm_TODO.txt (I have ones for things like Cities, Weapons, Quests, Balance, Chap5, Secret Classes, etc...):

Tell me, is it fear or courage that compels you?
We may choose what to remember, but we are not free to forget at will.
"We don't need any 2-bit heroes here trying to save the day!"
"Um, sir, there are 16 of them."
"Eh?"
"There are 16 heroes, sir."
"Fine. We don't need any 16-bit heroes either!"
"We'll settle this the old fashioned way:
The first one to die LOSES!"
Our backs were against the wall,'' said Turco. ''The pressure was on. It was do or die and we were all about the do.
Whoever named this place Befuddle Hall knew his business! I am certainly befuddled.
Holdana, you have stopped a nefarious plot to kidnap all the children of 12 years of age
Shen, you have unmasked the false king, whom surely would have crippled our forces.
Zefiryn, you have secured the mines of Dracoma and saved the land from poison!
Akira, you have subdued the Conjurer, an evil mage bent on stopping the forces of light!

BACKGROUND
===========
Ah, Mephistocles, the Lord of Demons...
\!He is a fearsome demon, that one.
\!He rules the Shadowlands from his Throne of
Skulls.
He and his demonic ilk were caged in ages long
past within the Void of the World, separating his
Shadowlands and Shadowspawn from our world.
Balthalas, the Undead Mage.
\!He is a pompous fool, that one, though that does
not make him any less dangerous.
Balthalas fancies himself as being Mephistocles'
second-in-command, but it is unclear if this is
so.
Like all other demons, he was locked away behind
the Void of the World in ages past.
\!Which is fortunate for us, for his undead army
would ravage this world...
Murzhor, the charismatic manipulator.
\!This crafty and vile demon is a master of
deceit, illusion and magic.
\!He is brilliant, in his own evil way.
Though shrewed and conniving, he was no more able
to escape from the Void of the World than any
other demon.
The fierce demon Urok is a force in of himself.
\!Massively strong, and massive in size, this
goliath is truly frightening.
He leads the Demonlord's armies mercilessly
and with a cool conviction.
\!Despite his fierocity, he is utterly loyal to
Mephistocles.
Despite his might, Urok too was trapped within
the prison that is the Void of the World.
\!He anxiously awaits a time to lead the demon
army back into the world of Light...

xThere's no item animation when you get one of the seeds in the poisoned forest to the west of... the Chapter 2 starting town... whatever it's called. Yes, I'm being nitpicky, but those animations are cool.

xCharacter Creation:
-http://dragoon.negative0.net/Images/RPGMaker/HR001.PNG
-Selecting any of the uber classes then hitting left/right plays the cancel sound and the character selection process continues, with the character that you were on when you were picking your class being the ???? Class.
-Hitting down to view the skills then hitting any direction key does the same thing (but it plays the selection sound instead of cancel), resulting in a ???? Class.
xYou can walk behind Stromholm (on the world map), appear behind the castle, then step down, move behind the towers, but onto the base of the castle. Minor graphical glitch? Yeah, but still :P
- don't really care
xDirection face lock isn't applied when you go on a rope inside a well. It is applied when you enter a well though.
- don't really care

- no idea

It's 25 minutes past the hour. No wait! 35 minutes. Wait! 41 minutes. Oops, I meant 45. Well, it's definitly one of those.

The minutes are two numbers repeated.

PRE-BETA:
TODO:
xMerchant Pass
xNew Cliffs in Indhopal
BUGS:
xThe Tiny Medal in the Rover's Camp (or at least, the one in the pot in the Item Seller's home) doesn't actually give you a Tiny Medal.
xThere's no item animation when you get one of the seeds in the poisoned forest to the west of... the Chapter 2 starting town... whatever it's called. Yes, I'm being nitpicky, but those animations are cool.
xDefeating (at least) one of the ghosts in the mines sets the battle theme to the wrong music.
IDEAS:
xMake quests give out EXP upon completion
xAdd many new sidequests -- SEE hr.txt
xRemap Okasa?
xAdd in some Team statergery
--new classes planned and multi party battles

x-Aleksandria
xNO - FF2 chipsets?
xOrnate chest does not stop opening
xReferences to mage knights and soldiers in Stromholm
xCharacter Creation:
-http://dragoon.negative0.net/Images/RPGMaker/HR001.PNG
-Selecting any of the uber classes then hitting left/right plays the cancel sound and the character selection process continues, with the character that you were on when you were picking your class being the ???? Class.
-Hitting down to view the skills then hitting any direction key does the same thing (but it plays the selection sound instead of cancel), resulting in a ???? Class.
xYou can walk behind Stromholm (on the world map), appear behind the castle, then step down, move behind the towers, but onto the base of the castle. Minor graphical glitch? Yeah, but still :P
- don't really care
xDirection face lock isn't applied when you go on a rope inside a well. It is applied when you enter a well though.
- don't really care
xSteal Message showing up in some of the battles??
- no idea
xFix CH5 quest rewards!
xFix CH5 EXP sharing
xMagic Key => Master Key
xChange Influence to -200% 0% 100% 200% 400%

It's 25 minutes past the hour. No wait! 35 minutes. Wait! 41 minutes. Oops, I meant 45. Well, it's definitly one of those.
The minutes are divisible by 2.
The minutes start with a 2.
The minutes are two numbers repeated.
We aren't yet 10 minutes past the hour.
If you were to add the digits of the minutes, you'd get an even number.
The minutes end in 9.
The minute hand is at 47.

"GO away zombies! We aren't letting you in!"
"Please, save the emperor! The survivors are holed up in the palace."
"The guards won't open the doors, so I tried to find an alternate route..."

If you have enough inspiration and just start making your game without initial planning, it's quite fast to finish a project.
Te more planning, the more it takes. But as you have aready said, sometimes you end up not being able to put in practice what you have envisioned for the game, and stop doing it.
And zomg kentona, wish I could have so much ideas for my game D: I prefer planning the game based on chapters. After I finished planning and writing one chapter, I make it in the maker. What really suck balls is the initial programming necessary to implementent all the systems in the game. Once you do that, the rest is easy, imo

I've only created 1 actual game, Catalyst the beginnings, I plan on doing a complete remake with high res graphics, or better gfx at the same res.
Had absolutely no life at the time either.

God of War is a nice game, but its not an RPG. If i would make an action/arcade game i would make a more basic planning. But in a RPG with milions of stadistical and neverending history?
Also he is a producer. He dont have to remake all because didnt plan anything, in his position is very easy to say that, but the truth is that if i have rewiriten a thing 3 times in my design document, i will have wasted my time remaking 3 times in the game (when with the documents its only to write some minutes).
I think its imposible to make a BALANCED complex game without planning, this or you reamke all the balance in every moment, wasting your time. Also documents arent less creative, they have the same ideas you will improvize in your game but in a more inteligent way.
PD: I have two projects, one with 250 pages and other with 170, and i think i have only 50% of the work. I have been working for 9 months. Also i like the freedom of the document design, because i can plan the game everywhere.

I've finished more games than I have available to download right now, but I lost nearly all of them except for Island Sky which I did have backed up. So now I only have 2 complete games and one near complete. What's been keeping me back lately has been working on the graphics for other projects (paid requests usually), and I had University+Work+Online work.
Basically, I first plan out the systems on paper. I make some drawings, I design the HUD, I write down what characters the system allows for, things like that.
Then I will go to notepad or Word and write down the outline and any new things that may come up, as well as a list of things I have to do. It's not a big design document, I may give that a try sometime, but I do tend to keep multiple text documents (or word or excel or a combination of the 3) for them. I can generally tell what would be too much work for me, so I don't overplan and go ambitiously 2305923894082309 quests and 3290582390582390 areas or whatever.
I then start with the systems. I want to make sure the game is at least fun to play and that those work before I start going off and creating the game itself. There's been quite a few projects where after a lot of testing, I cancel it because the system wouldn't work for long term. The system making shouldn't take much more than a month, although that depends on a lot of things. Could take a few days if it's simple enough.
When that's done, then I start going about making the maps and the story. I do graphics as I go along, so in the meantime I use RTP or graphics I have lying around already. Music is also something I have placeholder music for until I get around to composing for it, but composing tends to be the last thing on my to do list generally.
I also don't like giving up on things that I want to see finish, so yeah, some things will require work that won't be fun, but I just get it over with and then go back to making the other things in the game. The beginning planning and the ending seem to be the most fun times for me.
What I think also gets people is the desire to make a new project instead. I just write down the ideas and try to forget about it, because if I switched to that every time I had a new idea, I'd never get anything done.

If you check my sig, you may notice that my VX game is
already almost completed, far more completed than the next
three games I was going to release first...If you are
interested in the storyline, characters, gameplay, and
all of that stuff, than you would put most of
your time into making it. That's what happened for me,
but I would suspect that most other people would
think the same thing, mabye.

Back when I first started, I was making about a game a year. PH1 took a little less than 12 months, then PH2 was 10 1/2. PH3 would've been the fastest done, but I got distracted by other stuff and didn't focus on it quite so much. PH4 is nowhere near finished, but it's hit a lot of roadblocks (the biggest of which has been my re-releases).
When I do work, I usually get things done quickly. I think a lot of it comes from familiarity with the platform. Then there's also the amount of time I'm willing to dedicate to it. There's no one reason why game making goes fast or slow. It all depends on the millions of different things happening to and around the creator every day.

I have recently found that sitting down and mapping (not necessarily adding chests/NPCs/monsters/etc. to) a dungeon or town each day has made development progress quickly. Note that I'm working on a design that's more a wRPG than a traditional story game, so design and density is different from most RM* projects.
Also, I cannot comprehend how you people map. Ever since I started using RMVX's autotile-based mapping... oh man. It is wonderful.

XP and VX's mapping systems are totally different.
In VX, pretty much everything that would be in rm2k3's first/bottom layer is AUTOTILES. You know how you have to put the corners/edges on every wall in 2k3, or sometimes even the little tiny groove tiles in XP ceilings? Not in VX. =D Rectangle tool -> wall tile -> click/drag -> done!

I'd find it believable if someone suggested they were more inclined to work on RPG Maker games because they have less free time.
A bored person isn't a motivated person, I don't think.

...I work on my games or draw or read or do homework or whatever in my free time. I am very rarely bored! If you are insinuating that using RM* is boring, then gtfo. /polite
