But the straw that broke the camels back was one of their rantings about my art on DeviantArt. He said "Not drawing naked 17 year olds might help, I dunno. And people wonder why the RM community has been getting worse."

Huh? Are they bashing your game based on your outside artistic ability, or were they just throwing that comment in out of nowhere?

Either way, it sounds like they just made personal attacks with statements that had no relation to what they were supposed to be talking about. It's called the "ad hominem". Don't worry, they're utter idiots. :)

I draw girls because I find them attractive. I truthfully believe that the female body is a piece of art, an attractive, sexy piece of art. There are many others out there who draw this stuff too, and for those of you who criticize us by calling us perverted or immature are damn stupid. I'm not sure if they believe this because they think drawings/art such as this are demeaning, or pointless, or maybe just drawn so a guy get boner off of it (or more), but for me it's not. I can only speak for myself and I'm saying that I don't draw for those reasons, I draw it because I admire the beauty of women, any heterosexual guy should; and for most, part of that beauty IS there body (of course that's not the only part, but it is still nonetheless a part of it).

I haven't looked at your art collection or played your game, but I can say this: the only nudity arts that I don't like are guro, lolicon, torture, or any variants or combinations thereof. I'm not going to go on a tirade about how society should view nudity, but admiring the beauty of a woman (and the other gender's equivalent ;)) is only natural in anyone, and shouldn't be held back.

For the font issue, ensure you have MSGothic, MSMincho, RM2000, and RMG2000 all in your fonts directory. There are actually two RM2K3 RPG_RT.exe files out there; one that uses the new set, and another that uses the old set.

I agree with the themes idea. That can totally expand into something everyone, in any maker, could use.

Mother as a theme may be a little constricting depending on how many Mother chipsets exist out there, though I haven't looked yet. How about Mother-style environments? (i.e. the trippy feel)

Well, it was good back in the day...around the late-90's early-2000's. Then, as it approached the mid-2000's, the game became so corrupt that certain people were more equal than others. Reason is the government is entirely player-run (some players are able to confine other players because they are given "judge" positions in the game's justice system), and certain players actually held more than one position of power. Players could even hold positions where they had the ability to permanently ban someone from the game, or give another player free, extremely expensive items. One can easily see the potential for bias and abuse of power here, even though rules were created to prevent those kind of actions. But hey, there are ways around these rules...

Also, the game's company made so many actions to turn the RP environment (considered to be at its peak within the aforementioned time period, and the best among all MMOs by the game's players) into utter shit. War, negative actions between countries, and general conflict is specifically discouraged and ignored by the company, who is more interested in keeping the status quo of a peaceful, lovey-dovey ancient Korea.

My addition to the topic:

I've always wanted to turn one of my stories into a futuristic shooter RPG kind of game, either in the style of a plain FPS like Mass Effect or a real-time commanded battle system like in the Star Ocean series. Except in 2D, of course. The problem with using RPG Maker for this is that, as I've seen in a few games, it's a monster to code, with so much repetition as to make it a complete waste of time.

If a game maker like this comes out, then such a dream would finally be realized. :D
