Miscellaneous

Cancelled, and I'm leaving.

I made a topic in the forums that explains why.

Miscellaneous

Taking a week-long break from RPG Makering.

I have so much I want to get done on this game, but I don't want to burn myself out. So I'm taking a vacation from it. I'll still be on this site, though not as frequently as I normally am right now. I just need to clear my head, and live for myself a little.

RM2K3 is harder than RMXP.

When I downloaded the RMXP free trial, I had a basic idea of what game I wanted to make. After going through some online tutorials for it, I got better at RMXPing, and my old game story idea got tossed out the window in favor of my unfinished magnum opus Bronze Soul. And for twenty-one days, I was enjoying myself immensely thinking of new story elements, trying to create maps, and thinking of unique character interactions. The last thing I was able to do was a basic blueprint for a shopkeeping minigame. Then my whole Buying the freaking maker failure, I had to downgrade.

RM2K3 has differences between RMXP, the least of which is graphics. Options are named differently, the battle system is better, I can actually use Charas-Builder, events are harder to time since I have no wait until move is over command, random dungeon maker if I ever decide to make a mystery-style game, 8-16 bit music is easier to implement without making it sound out-of-place, and world map. All in all, I enjoy RMXP more, but I'm getting used to RM2K3. Maybe I'll eventually enjoy it as much.
