I enjoy playing and creating games (mostly RPGs) and have a love of story and characterisation above graphics. I've been into RM* since '96 and have used all makers - started on the PSX makers, found and used a patched version of the SNES RM, then moved to RM95. When I found RM2K I finally decided to join some forums and I've been a part of the community ever since.

We Did It First screenshot thread
Thanks. It's from an old (on hold -_-) project - Love's Requiem. Maybe I'll add the chips to the site.

I really like those large tree edits - very nice. The canopy is looking sweet, but You don't see forests that are so thick. Perhaps move the trees at the back up a pixel or two, so it doesn't look quite so clustered? As to the roof - there are ways to edit them - colour-wise and graphics wise.
Here, I'll post an edit I did ( I love RTP to pieces. <3 )

Chapter 5 under progress...
Now a topic about character design.
Suikoden! Hello...? Each Suikoden game has a connection to the other, being that they are all based in the same world, just at different times. And in each you'll find out more about the characters from the before or after games. Take Suikoden Two and Four for example. In SII you meet Maximillion of the Maximillion Knights. In SIV you meet the original founders of the Knights.
And this is turning into a rant about the awesomeness of Suikoden.
:on topic jump:
Actually getting to know and care about a character can be hard in amateur games, usually due to inept dialogue, cookie-cutter characters and/or no character development. There are some games that are well done in this aspect, though.
The Way series, as mentioned. Love and War. Clouded Heart. Home Far Away. Hero's Realm (it's the mirror comments, I swear. ^.^). FF High. War of two Worlds. Three: The Hard Way - okay, that one made me cry.
All these I think are pretty good amateur games that use good characterisation.
All time favourite character? Katt: Breath of Fire II. She's just so spunky! ^.^

post your picture
Just looked this topic up and I gotta say... you're all human, thank God. ^.^
antifarea, you're not my 'brother by another mother...and father' are you? Cos you look identical to him. I mean, da~mn!
I'll look at getting one posted up soon. Gotta get one of them cam-e-ra-thinjymabobsits first.Yuhhuk!

My mum was pretty strict on ratings. I remember coming home with FF7 - it had a G rating sticker for some reason. She wasn't impressed. ^.^ Funnily enough, it's now one of her faves. yes, she plays RPGs and simulators (digimon/harvest moon/pokemon).
I forgot X-2. Go girl-power!

Odd happening here...
I'm gonna start real basic and work my way up as I'm not sure what level of RM you're at.
VERY BASIC MATERIAL
Check to see that the tile you teleported the character on to is passable. Go to the database>Tileset. Click on the tileset for the map on which you are having the movement difficulty. Check which tile the character is standing on. If there is an X on that tile then it means that the character will not be able to move on it. If it is an O, then it's passable. You should teleport the character to a different spot or change the X to a O by clicking on it. *s show tiles that will be above the hero and squares show tiles that are best used as roof tiles.
If it is an O, click the 'directionality pass' on the right of the screen. You'll see a lot of arrows. If there are dots instead of arrows that means the character cannot move in that direction whilst on that tile. Click on the dot to change it to an arrow.
Basic
Do you have any events running on the map that you teleported to? If so, check that they are switched off when finished. If they are a necessary parallel process, make sure that you have a wait of 0.0 at the end of the coding, as the loss of movement could be caused through lag.
If there is an auto process, turn it off or change it to a parallel process instead. Auto process will stop all movement. No ifs, buts or maybes. If you want movement during a scene use parallel processes.
Check also the Common events in the database for the above.
Is your computer good enough? Does it lag? Try playing another's XP game to see whether it's the computer or the program.
If it's none of that, I'm at a loss.

How do you earn AP?
You can make a custom random battle system so that every X steps you go into a battle, then if you win the battle you gain x amount. Um. I'll try to explain a bit better.
Have a process that checks whether the player has moved by constantly comparing X/Y positions.
Make it so that if the player has moved there's a random chance of an enemy encounter. You'll have to test this so that random encounters aren't too annoying. Try about a 1/10 or 1/15 chance.
If there is an enemy encounter you can choose a random enemy via variables and have the victory condition give your the AP (best used if AP gain is constant no matter what monsters you face).
This way is easy if you want to just have a random monster group attack. Make a variable *Random* and set it to randomise between the numbers of the monster parties in the database. It's highly recommended that you have each areas monsters together. So say in the database:
MP(Monster Party)0001: Field Slimes x2
MP(Monster Party)0002: Field Slimes x3
MP(Monster Party)0003: Field Mice x2
MP(Monster Party)0004: Field Birds x 4
MP(Monster Party)0005: Cave Bats x 2
So if you wanted only the Field monsters to be chosen you'd make the *Random* variable randomise between 1 and 4. If you wanted the Cave monsters then you'd have to randomise between 5 and the number of the last of that area's monsters. Then, in the enemy encounter command have it choose an enemy via the variable *Random*. Viola!
If you want AP gain to be different for each type of monster, use variables to create random battles and add the different AP in the victory condition.
Make a *Random* variable (every game should have one ^.^). Using the above example (hidden) have the amount of monsters randomised. Four monsters in this case.
So:
IF VARIABLE =
ENEMY ENCOUNTER
VICTORY CONDITION
<>ADD POINTS HERE
DEFEAT CONDITION
<>DIE
END
END
IF VARIABLE =
ENEMY ENCOUNTER
VICTORY CONDITION
<>ADD POINTS HERE
DEFEAT CONDITION
<>DIE
END
END
ET CETRA and so forth.
Hope that helps. It's easier to add it during the battle, however.

No joke. I liked it for the large amount of character interaction, the side quests, the battle system and the small extras that made it fun. I'm not saying that it's perfect by any stretch of the imagination and the story was pretty awful, but it's one of my faves for what's in it.
Then again, I haven't played half the stuff that's been mentioned yet. What's on my list are about the only PS2 games I have - as well as SO3, Unlimited Saga, Dark Chronicle, Ephemeral Phantasia, The Snow Queen's Quest and Orphen. Yeah. I need better RPGs.

What we did horribly on our first games.
My first RM game was on the PSX RPG maker. I had the first town made, three islands on the world map completed and half a forest dungeon before I ran out of memory card space and gave it up.
I later started to remake it in 2K but didn't get to demo stage. It had something to do with an amnesiac who was trying to find her father and a few other characters.
My first 'real' RM game was ten kinds of crap and had you starting in a village where you were supposed to just know where to go. It did have a pretty awesome inn system, though.
