JPARKER1984'S PROFILE

Ok, I love magic users in RPGS. For me, it's hard to pick from White Wizard and Black Wizard (or what ever wordings you like, if not familiar with Final Fantasy.) So when I first set my eyes on a Red Wizard, I was thrilled that I could use both magic types at the same time. Though not so much when I discovered they are really limited on what magics they use AND on magic power.

I came up with the Grey Wizard for my game. Magic user to the fullest, shitty ATT, DEF and SPD, but good MAG and MP. A Grey Wizard can use both White and Black magic with no limitations on availability or power. Only thing is, you can't have both at the same time. You would simply have to switch what type of magic you want to use for the time being (not able to switch in battle.)

I've been wondering for a while now. How dose one customize their game profile. I'm not talking about using bolds, italics, underlines, special colors or basic stuff like that. I'm talking on a bigger scale, here is an example of what I mean.

http://rpgmaker.net/games/3678/, that game is Revelations by Ashley_Lacure. That profile (and game) is really nice looking. The dark and dim background, the cool looking font and the neat clouds. So, in a nut-shell. How can I do something like that, thanks.

Ok, I want to make a multiple party dungeon system (like the last area in FF6) one problem though, I can't figure out how to set the characters to a variable. When I go to the change party section, it will give me the option to add character based off the variable they are stored in.

But how on earth do I store a character to a variable, please help and thanks.

I love a lot of the modern RPGs, but what I have noticed is that they are not quite as long as they used to be. I don't enjoy spending a big chunk of money on a game (not just RPGs) only to beat it in a few days, that pisses me off. Why can't they make em like they used to. Now, I know there are still some games that come out and last a good while, just not at the rate in the old school days.

Now, I direct some attention to the RPG Maker community. I have played some amazing games that were long, but. I have also played some amazing games that I felt were cut short. Leaving me to question why the creator didn't make the game longer, when the story could have very much so been extended without feeling like it was dragging on. Why is it that long games, whether it be commercial or made with RPG Maker. Are not being pumped out.

(On a side note, if my writing seems a little off. Please excuse me, its 4am where I am and I wanted to post this before I went to bed, lol.)

I was going to join GGZ in an effort to be apart of some other communities, then I saw their rules. This is a text taken from the rules page.

"NO RM2K3!!! Posting of original resources, games, tutorials and discussions relative to or made with any LEGAL game maker is permitted. GGZ reserves the right to remove any screens or links to games, etc., if GGZ deems them to be made with an illegal maker. Links to Enterbrain and/or their legal postings of new materials and/or games is permitted."

I think it's funny that they allow RM2K, which is illegal. So, that means that should be against the rules. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that make them hypocrites? I mean, if they want to go for a clean look and feel (which is fine) and they don't want to allow RM2K3, how is allowing RM2K justifiable?

EDIT: Just noticed I posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry.
