Hi Friends,

I'm David. I'm a long time fan of indie games and especially RM2K/3. It's absolutely amazing to see what other have created here. I started gaming with the TI-99/4A computer with titles like "Hunt the Wumpus" and "Tunnels of Doom". Yeah...I'm showing my age here. From there, the classic old Sierra games like King's Quest and Space Quest were my favorite.

I'm working on remaking Tunnels of Doom with RPG Maker 2003, it an ambitious project giving this game an RPG story when it never had one before. In retrospect I probably should have remade Hunt the Wumpus first... it would have been a lot easier! (But then again... I'd want to give that game an RPG story as well!)

I'm looking forward to learning more about writing and character development here, as this is an area I can definitely improve on. So when I'm not doing my day job, I'll be here on RMN lurking and learning.

Feel free to talk to me, I'm easily approachable!

What are you thinking about? (game development edition)

You know that feeling when you have thousands of ideas burning in your mind, they're all well formed and you know the direction you want to take the game in, but you still can't bring yourself to actually start implementing it, because you don't feel ready? How to deal with that?


The only thing I can suggest is... do something, even if it's wrong. Just getting in there throwing in "show text" events will get your brain working in the right frame.

I've been working on a new battle mechanic for bosses... I started with just a simple idea... I wanted bosses to be about 4x larger than regular monsters... but HOW can you do that in RPG Maker 2003 without large sprite support?? With Pictures! I had no idea how much of a pain that would be... but I've spent over a week with it, and it's almost ready to roll out in the next update. Just a few more tweaks and I'll have a video to show you.

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

That sounds Amazing Yusha! Looking forward to seeing more of this and playing the demo later this year!

Seeking a Playtester

Count me in! I'd like to be a tester for you, I'm a fan of your games, and I reviewed Loop's Quest some time ago.

The Linear Game

Yep.. I just had to remove an event... to allow me to touch the 3rd ending event.

Maze of Heroes

Downloaded... I'll try it out this week and write a review for it.

Update: 3/19/2018 - I've played the first two mazes so far. I'm recording it for a Let's Play. Will do some more throughout the week.

Downloaded! I'll play it tonight, looks like fun.
Awesome, I hope you have fun!


I loved the scenery, made it to point B! :)
I also restored and saw the 2nd ending, though I don't know if it's possible to get the Glitch Ending 3 without cheating somehow.

Well done!

Add it to the Media page in your game and then submit that media in this page (top right corner "Submit").

...I think.


Thank you! I'll get right to work on it.

RPG Maker 28th Birthday

First time entering a contest like this... I aim to make a trailer for my game. If I understand correctly.. I just need to create it and add to the Media page?
