A new person, yay!

Hello. After several months of lurking around the site, I've decided to introduce myself. My name is DarylSun, and I'm a casual gamer who hopes to learn enough to become a decent RPG game designer.

During the latter months of 2015, after I decided that writing stories wasn't enough as a creative outlet, I developed an interest in game designing, specifically interactive fiction and RPGs. The December of that year, after months of deliberation, I got a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace and began playing around with it. Why not the new engine, RPG Maker MV, you may wonder? Because A) JavaScript gives me bad memories, and B) I found that VX Ace had more tutorials and scripts than the new engine, so until MV "ages" enough for me, I'm not touching it. I do appreciate your thoughts on the merits of MV, so you may convince me.

Eventually I began designing a game, which I'm still working on. Actual production of the game is put on hold for the moment, though, since I still have school to content with. What I can tell you so far is, it's gonna be a simulation RPG with turn-based combat, item crafting, and NPC socialization. Yes, it's formulaic and cliché, but as I've learned in creative writing, there is no such thing as original work, only stories with well-developed characters, interesting settings, and sensible plots.

Browsing through this site, as well as the official RPG Maker Web and RPG VX Ace forums, has been very helpful to me, and I'm grateful to all the wonderful people who have contributed to RPG Maker. I hope you receive me kindly. Thank you!
