Boulevard of Broken 2k3 Dreams

no one is stopping you from installing a windows 98 VM and making an RM game through that

How much lore should you find in a university library ?

you can do whatever you want. it's pretty inconsequential to have an optional lore dump area. Morrowind has tons of libraries in the game that are just books for days.

though I feel like you're falling for the trap of "every door needs to be openable because it's a door" and not just adding function when actually needed. you don't have to put lore in if you don't like making lore which should take precedence over realism or whatever.

i opened up rpgmaker 2k3

so Easy RPG is pretty good now? is there any drawbacks I should know about or is it very minor. feel like maniacs is probably overkill but I'd like at least a decent render wrapper to smooth things out. Also does anyone have the GOOD font with the angled A and stuff? (nvm found it wait this site is useful?)

I Have Two Conflicting Plot Ideas for the Same Game Concept. Help!

this only further bolsters the idea of eating the mona lisa

I Have Two Conflicting Plot Ideas for the Same Game Concept. Help!

if you want notoriety after death you're better off eating the mona lisa or something

Ballads of Battle (Do you know these songs?)

Battle Upbeat is driving me insane because I've heard it in multiple rpgmaker games before and I prob downloaded it as a resource somewhere. I get the feeling that it might be a midi track made by someone in the rm community (the chosen instruments seem too deliberate to be a transposed track) and not a commerical snes/ps1 track but I could be wrong.

i still get catchaserguns'd once in awhile by people eagerly awaiting my game, maybe that user just wanted people's work to feel desired

Remake one of your first starter projects from memory.

I could probably do it...

I Have Two Conflicting Plot Ideas for the Same Game Concept. Help!

I'd (briefly) list the pros and cons and put them side by side and decide from there. I've had many projects that split into multiple projects like some damn cell division. But it's best to return to why you actually liked the original idea in the first place and stick with whichever one is truest to that essence. Though ideally it's the easiest one to do and execute that takes precedence.

and yeah lore really doesn't matter to most. people generally do not care about world building until they've actually played and enjoyed the game and want to know more. Otherwise it's self indulgent and you can really do whatever you want. There are some exceptions. Like the SCP Foundation is just media that's lore on its own. But that's across different contributors and borne out of a natural community occurrence (the same way mythology is created).

No one is going to be able to tell you how "good" the lore is based on a wall of text and it's not the main expectation or why a game is generally good. If it's for your enjoyment then do whatever direction is most enjoyable to develop. It might be worth considering writing a novel or a tabletop game or something since those tend to be more compatible.
