JCOX2820'S PROFILE

First of all - hello!

I've done some research, writing, thinking, soul searching, hot-pocket eating, and considering and have finally decided to commit myself to making a game using one of the RPG makers. I made this decision a couple of weeks ago when I learned that an RPG maker player was released for Android and was prompted to get off my ass and look into this thing .

It took some time, but after I realized I could actually make a traditional RPG myself I was so excited I could hardly sleep. Still, I figured I should be sure that the RPG Maker was not beyond my capabilities. The more I read about it the more it seems something I can grasp if I stick to it.

Thus I began the process of creating a story. And might I say, it IS a STORY. A hell of a story - compelling characters, events that extend beyond the comprehension of the player at the time they happen, unexpected plot twists (and some expected ones), epic plot, and a device by which the player feels the characters emotions.

But that was the easy part for me. I am a writer by semi-profession after all. I have never designed a game before, nor have I any experience in coding, etc. In fact, I'm such a goober that I don't even know HTML!

So here I am, realising I need some questions answered before I dive deep. Here are the ones floating in my head right now, but when you answer please keep in mind that I know I will need to do a lot more learning (tuts, etc.) before I really get moving. But before going further I need to know this stuff:

1) I wont do too well writing music, and I am not sure if I can do well creating sprites, tiles, etc. Is it likely that I can get someone to help me out with these areas in which I am seriously lacking?

2) Is this one of those places were newbish questions are disregarded or treated with disdain?

3) Which RPG Maker should I use?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!

4) Do I need to do something special to make my game compatible with the Android player?

5) Is it possible to create a game in such a way that it is downloaded from the android market as a seperate file from the player but used by it?

6) How hard is it going to be for me to piece together a working knowledge of this system from the tuts etc. that are laying around at this site?

Thanks!
