I'm just a guy interested in making an RPG. I started using RPG Maker way back in RM2k days. My first game was wiped out when my old CPU crashed so yeah.. I decided to make a new one and have been working on it ever since. I mostly enjoy lurking around the RMN forums but I've decided to become more active in the community. I can be a smart-ass at times, but I'm generally an easy going friendly dude.
P.S: Oh yeah, I'm gay (seriously)

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Sorry, but I love the idea of making fangames.

Which is exactly what I said. That post wasn't directed at you so you kind of took it out of context!
Sorry, I wasn't really adding to the topic. I was just stating another one of the possible factors of why the game sold so well. The ones who the game didn't cater to ended up having it anyway cause it was bundled.
We should bundle quality RM games with games such as Chrono Alter and see how popular it would get.

No one missed your point. We aren't talking about success, we are talking about quality.
Success is measured through things like response, download numbers, sales, etc. Quality isn't really measured at all, or at least it's not quite the same.
WiiSports is the most successful videogame of all time. It's sold over 60 million.
Why has it sold so much? The same reason the Chrono Trigger fangame is popular. Not necessarily because they are good games, and not because they are fangames, because WiiSports is no fangame.
They are people pleasers. The developer(s) look at the target audience and sell it specifically to them. The CT fangame was linked to from a major Chrono Trigger fan website, thus it got many downloads there. WiiSports was marketed to people of all ages, which is why the Wii sold so well. I would never say WiiSport is the greatest video game of all time, in fact, I'd say it's a pretty mediocre game and I got bored of it really really fast.
If you are actually passionate about game design, then you should first care about making a good game. People-pleasing comes later down the line.
IMO, another reason why WiiSports did so well was because it was (or still is idk..) bundled with the Wii. I've played mine once and never touched it again, but that's besides the point I guess.

I'm just saying in the end, an individual should make whatever he wants to.
I agree. What really matters is if the individual enjoyed working on the game itself.

I'm about to finish up Ace Attorney Investigations and start with FF6 soon. I've never played FF6 or lower yet.

V&V is doing well relatively, but it still is worth about, oh, nothing. I want something to be proud of, not "oh a little more than shitty RM* games.
You can always request to take the page down if you feel that way

There's a lot of misplaced hate for RPG Maker out there but it's mostly that I don't want to release anything super-publically without being absolutely 100% sure that I am putting the best possible foot forward.
No matter how much effort you put into something, you'll still be faced with criticism.
