RAREWARE'S PROFILE

author=Noel_Kreiss
@Rareware: I also consider the Sphere Grid-type system, even though it's time-consuming, and can be a bit laggy, even with usage of ani-lag scripts, but to tell the truth I haven't really tried to make super-evented maps, soI might be wrong with my thinking.

@Zachary_Braun: I don't really get what you mean, and besides...My game is nothing of sort what you describe. Or maybe I do understand? You mean something like Final Fantasy XIII did? Limit the players? Yeah, I could do that, but then again the Crystarium Tiering system was heavily attacked as "limitting".

OK, you're right, I was thinking of later cartridges. Most NES games didn't go over 500 KB.

Still, that's with midi music, midi sound effects, 8-bit graphics, and really skilled programmers micromanaging the assembly code to compress everything down as small as possible. If you were to make the original Contra in RPG Maker, it would probably be a good 20 MB.

RPG Maker XP and VX games are similar in quality to early PSX games, minus the FMVs. RM2K3 is more like SNES in terms of graphics, but still matches PSX in terms of audio. Most non-rpgmaker indie games are in that ballpark as well. How big are PSX games if you cut out the FMVs? A couple hundred megs?

The idea that anyone would not be willing to wait fifteen minutes to get a game is beyond my comprehension, though. I bet you spent a good hour or two browsing the list of games. I bet if your only criteria were "completed game" and "less than 10 MB" it would take you more than fifteen minutes just to find a game to download, especially on an economy-class internet connection.
