CloseI would need another strong creative outlet. RPGmaker helps my flow of creativity when I need to relax :)
i'm not sure. probably nowhere near as happy, as rm* is, like a lot of you have said, my primary creative outlet. i've also met some of my closest friends through rm*. (can i get them to post anything other than snarky comments? ofc not) soooo idk

I originally started making a game using the Turing programming language. I only approached RPG Maker because I wanted to use it's graphic resources, but then thought to myself, "why not just use this program?"
So I'd probably still be gamedeving.

I'd probably would have never given up on painting, and specially drawing... In high school, I used to draw a comic of me and my friends, sometimes re-imagining our shenanigans in various fantasy settings and stuff. I filled almost three notebooks that way, one page a day (Yeah, I didn't use to pay much attention during class xD). And before I first heard of rpg maker, I was learning how to set one of those crappy Geocites sites to start a web comic with my own characters. I even drew a few to get things rolling.
But then I leatrned about rpg maker. Got a bunch of Chrono Trigger rips, and I replicated Crono's house the best I could. Put Crono in there, and just looking at him walking around blew my mind; Like, in the most literal way possible.
And to be honest, I kind of regret that now. Games are probably the best medium ever, and a great outlet for your creativity, but they demand so much more time and effort to get things done. Just to make a simple scene I not only have to draw something and slap some text into it, but I have to sprite, write, map, direct, synchronize, edit, test, test, test, test, and at the end of the day things never look like you pictured them anyway. And games keep getting better and better each year, and you just can't keep up... -_-
