Hi, I'm OldPat, an italian indie game developer. I'm trying to improve as much as I can, hoping to reach a professional level one day.
I also like to draw a lot and that's another of the fields I'm trying to improve. My English is still a bit bad, so I hope you'll forgive me if I make any mistakes.^^'

How to make better rpgmaker trailers!!!
Interesting article, lord! I liked it.
I don't completely agree with the "show text of your game, not text you made specifically for the trailer". It's better to avoid showing in game texts sometimes, because they shift focus away from your game graphics and they usually aren't at all "quick". They aren't made for a trailer. Instead, texts made specifically for the trailer that summarize the game's intentions and mechanics are usually better. Perhaps with just a portrait or some cool graphic in the back. Example: Steins Gate trailer (the game). Both can work though, if you manage to implement in game texts that flow. I usually try to use both.
Also walking shots can work, they can show glimpses of the game's overall feel and atmosphere, its graphics too. Just, they need to be quick and not overused. But they absolutely can work. I mean, lots of games rely on exploration. And you wanna make sure the players know that you're exploring a well made world.
Making a trailer last 1 minute is recommended, I absolutely agree. But I guess you could even go for 2 minutes no problem, if you got things to show. You can break this rule and make even longer trailers? Yes, but it's better to know the rules and how to do stuff correctly before doing so. Not recommended. 1-2 minutes ftw.

Very interesting interview! Good job to you, Cap, as always, for taking your time to spotlight interesting devs and congratulations to you, Lollo! I really hope Theia will gain many more players, it deserve tons and tons of love! There is really no other RPG Maker game like it.
And now we want NecHroma!
It's actually a shame that Fifth Era and Tales of Banalia are not translated. Those games are really, really good and they deserve to be played, especially FE.
Damn, I grew up a lot as a dev thanks to games like Fifth Era, they really inspired and shaped me. I'm really glad that I had a chance to play that little masterpiece back in the days. :)
And thank you for mentioning my games, Lollo. I'm really honoured. I really am^^
