2D or 3D?
3D graphics get outdated :/.
2D graphics aren't immune to the tests of time; there is a decisive difference in the level of complexity and resulting quality between, say, FF1 and FF6, or Age of Empires I and Age of Empires II. We just don't notice it anymore because 2D graphics aren't the current focal point of the industry and thus take a backseat to the faster-moving 3D which is more apparent.
However, most 3d games just look the same to me... Especially FPS.
The FPS genre legitimately benefits greatly from a 3D environment, so the deciding factor there isn't the graphics so much as it is the atmosphere and gameplay mechanics. Other genres like RTS (with wonderfully rare exceptions like Homeworld) have no excuse, though.
2D or 3D?

I hate the 3D RTSes. It's so hard to distinguish units from the environment, impeding gameplay. It also makes selecting them (and targeting them) a bitch..
It also made all the games of that genre nearly identical to each other.
Take, for example, Age of Empires II and Starcraft. The feel I get when playing the two are vastly different, both in mechanics and in the atmosphere presented. I get clearly different vibes from them.
Now I look at more modern games like Warcraft III, Age of Empires III, Age of Mythology, Rise of Nations, and Empire Earth, and I cannot help but shout "what in god's name is the difference here?" when I play them. I'm sure something is supposed to make each of them unique since they're all different games, but I just don't see it.
Map Formatting in RPGMaker2003
post=131029If viewed from a 45-degree (or similar) angle, a person would naturally be partially or totally obscured ("walking under") by a tall wall or roof when walking next to it. It thus gives a sense of depth and diagonal viewing angle to the map.post=130993I tested it and noticed that, but... in what kind of situation is it useful?
It has special logic for walking underneath. You can walk under the top row of roof tiles, but cannot passthrough 2 or more.
Without this, the impression we receive is that we're looking at the map from a 90-degree angle (from the top), and that point of view tends to conflict badly with the majority of chipsets, sprites, and panoramas that are made and/or used.

Questions on rpgm2k3
Playing movies in VX
"Playing movies" isn't as easy as it sounds.
To begin with, you have to properly encode the video/audio for whatever medium, conditions, and audience it is you're encoding for. You then need to have the proper codecs installed to properly decode said video/audio, otherwise your computer won't have the slightest clue what it's supposed to be doing.
In a nutshell: Playing back videos (or having anything to do with videos for that matter) is not recommended for the average RM* user.

Just don't understand the purpose for using the older rpg makers anymore. Someone enlighten me.
Familiarity with the interface (for long-time RM users), variety of resources, and in RMVX's case a fundamentally flawed mapping system. Ruby being an intimidating beast to people who've never programmed/scripted before is also a large factor.
Of course, none of these are things that can't be overcome with practice/effort/????, but your mileage will vary.
I'm leaving...
This is why i don't share information form the real world, you guys say age is irrelevent and then say this isnt right, i knew i coulden't tell you guys the truth but you said my age was irrelevent, forget this people are just trying to find another reason after another to have a go at me,As far as your age is concerned, no one with half a cup of decency will call you out on your age. In fact, if you really are 8 years old I am honestly impressed at the level of communication that you've shown here.
Moving on, what we did have an issue with was with your attitude and reaction to your game being denied. Self-proclaiming your game is awesome, prodding staff members, and then proceeding to ragequit when it's denied doesn't really give your image any positive light. On the bright side though, I don't think you tripped on anyone's ire besides that one little slip, and you seem like a nice person if you can learn to keep your ego in check.
