ROWAN'S PROFILE

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)

I won a video contest and now I'm headed to E3 next week!

Have fun at E3. Bring back many images of booth babes.

What are you jamming to?

Good ol' BEAT IT

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

Speaking of MS Word, I'm currently working on the dialogue for my game. I'm finding it to be the most frustrating thing to get right thus far.

Hot.

EDIT: Did you really sprite all of this yourself?


Heck no, lol. The background is a rip from one of the Metal Slug games. All I sprited was the road with the picket fence, the truck, the gas billboard, birds, tumbleweed, and I've extended the depth of the sky and made the clouds bigger. I've learned ALOT from this though.

Hey!

Welcome aboard the RMN train!

Is this also for Osheru Shori, Rowan? Even alone it is very ambient...well done. Not sure how I feel about those dark bluish stars, but I'm not a art expert and maybe they look different in-game.


Yep, it is. Thanks for the comment!

Damn. I'm sure I've seen those buildings before. At first I thought it was Streets of Rage, but I confirmed and it wasn't it.
It looks good, and I'm sure it looks better in-game.


Thanks! I appreciate it!

This is what I've been doing for the past couple of days. Another side-scrolling far view screenshot. This is Kastelahn City, one of cities available to visit in my game. The Police Cars, Airplanes, Balloons, Sky Beam Lights, the red lights on the tower, and even the lights on the freeway (the bottom-most strip) are all animated. Yeah, there's alot going on in this. Even so, with the music, it is very ambient.

The helicopter sprite I created (THIS) was made specifically for this scene.

quick question

author=zaeran
Ok, so alot of times I see in some peoples screen shots panorama is seen while editing a map in RPGM 2003, is it possible for me to see panoramas while i'm editing?
If so How do I go about it doing it?

In Rm2k3, if the dimensions of your map is 20x15, you can see the panorama in the background while your editing; that is, if the map is set to have a panorama.

Methods of garnering inspiration

For me in no particular order its:
1. Playing other video games which includes commercial and amateur work.
2. Looking at other people's character design & Sprite Work.
3. Listening to a great music score.
4. Watching cartoons/anime & reading manga/comics.
