STORM'S PROFILE

I sometimes use variables when I don't want to use a lot of switches.

For example, a monsters appeared, then another, then another. Instead of using 3 switches, I use only 1 variable that will be getting +1 each time a monster appears.


But I agree with you, usually I only use them for systems and such.

If you have enough inspiration and just start making your game without initial planning, it's quite fast to finish a project.

Te more planning, the more it takes. But as you have aready said, sometimes you end up not being able to put in practice what you have envisioned for the game, and stop doing it.


And zomg kentona, wish I could have so much ideas for my game D: I prefer planning the game based on chapters. After I finished planning and writing one chapter, I make it in the maker. What really suck balls is the initial programming necessary to implementent all the systems in the game. Once you do that, the rest is easy, imo

Thank you very much ;D

Besides all that RM stuff, I'm currently 18 years old and a big fan of old games. True classics for the SNES and PS1, mostly.

My favorite RPG of all time is Final Fantasy 6 (which I played after 7 and was much more epic, imo). And Super Metroid will always have a special spot in my heart, because of my childhood ;_;

I'm not that much of a graphic whore myself, so I just search for games that... make me have fun. For that reason, Chrono Trigger, Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario World are some of my favorite games.

Also, Metal Gear > life

And I play some games online with kaillera (SFA3, MvC, Metal Slug, KoF 2002, Garou, Super Smash Bros, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs...).

After skiping both the PS1 and PS2 generations (I'm really ashamed of myself), I currently own only a PS3 and a gaming PC.



I guess this settle all the introductory stuff. :-X

Sup people. Here I am, introducting myself.

I start using RPG Maker in 2004, when RPG Maker 2003 was all we got. I had two projects in that period: Storm`s Saga, which was a lousy game that I made using only the RTP. It was more for me to test all the RM basic functions (switch, variable, fork conditions, ...) and get to know what the program was all about.

After learning the basics, I decided canceling SS and started a new project: an action RPG, with shooting systems and all that.

After the RM forums I was in died, I lost my interest in RM. But then in late 2005, me and some friends of other forums (there's even a person I talk to since 2001) thought about making a game based on ourselves. At first sight it's a common and silly idea, as I think lots of people do that. The project carried itself along the years, and after a lot of rehashes I finally decided, now in 2009, to continue and (with some luck) finish the game. Although it's based on a specific community, I do think it will be enjoyable to everyone, as it's not infected with internal jokes and memes... Only the characters are based on people I know/knew.

Anyway, I'm here to both relearn what I forgot and to try helping whoever needs it. Hope to get along with you guys 8D



Btw, English is not my main language, so just pretend I know how to speak write accurately D:
