What brings you to RMN?

A good amount of us do frown on anime avatars.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooookay. :>

What brings you to RMN?

this isn't true
Yeah. It's like GW6, but actually works.

At least I THINK that's how the promo went

RPG Maker War Game?

Technically, this could be done (with tons of scripting, obviously) but the lag would be horrendous. So yeah, AGM's your best bet.

What brings you to RMN?

Some random Feldshsthatcet person ( ::))promoted this website on GW and everyone there took the piss. I thought "hey it can't be that bad it might be like a GW which doesn't frown on anime avatars" and thus joined the site.

TL;DR: Crashed through the fence

What are you listening to?

Birds at 2:00 am? I'm guessing you mean owls.

I've had a long day so for your sake and mine I will make this short

Anyone who thinks a show-picture CMS is INNATELY some kind of great asset needs to wake the fuck up. Most of the time those POS front-end menu systems are broken, ugly, annoy me by not letting me do what the DMS does, and does nothing the DMS doesn't do.
Or you talking about CMS/CBS's you made, or that others made? Either way, it would be hard to pull off a CMS/CBS without a message box is what I'm thinking, I guess I should have said so instead of custom systems.

Now, er, good night

This is idiotic. Graphics do not equal effort. Not everyone is an artist/employs an artist. Leaving out rips (which you clearly have an ethical problem with) that leaves the RTP. What you seem to be missing is that RTP games can excel on other fronts.
You might be mis-understanding me; what I mean is the basic RTP that comes with RPG Maker 2000/2003. Even simple sprite edits would show that you actually give a damn about the graphics of your game (which, IMO, are pretty important in RM games).

(which you clearly have an ethical problem with
Not really. I use rips all the time. I just don't think they should be used commercially (which is pretty obvious, but...)
This kind of adds to this:
I don't see an RM game being made for the mass market (mass meaning commercial RPGs in this case) without a whole development team working behind the scenes rather than one creator and his music-making friend.

Are most RTP games awful? Of course. Does that mean that a game made with RTP graphics can't be surpassingly excellent enough to be worth paying for? Not in the slightest.
How are you going to make custom systems without using custom graphics? Message boxes? Not very neat IMO.

Yes, I am in fact (and almost always have been) aiming to work to a "commercial standard" even when NOT charging for my games and not planning on charging for them, but clearly a "commercial standard" means different things to different people.
Ja. There's no real fault for what you're saying here 8U

This is what demos are for.
Most RM games ARE demos. :|

Do you have any idea how good a writer you have to be to even stand a chance of getting published? (Well, unless you are J.K. Rowling, Christopher Paolini, or that Twilight bitch, but don't even get me started on those fucking hacks.)
