Fear this anime.

Are classic RPGs still a viable option ?

I've asked on IRC before why, since the tools have gotten so much better, I don't see a bunch of Western RPGs being made with RPG Maker.
Be the change you want to see.


I'm not really interested in making such a game. I've just been curious why I don't see them.

How many maps do I need for a average demo?

Depending on how your game is built, one map might be enough. Especially if all you want to do is show off some quick dialog and have a battle.

If your game has these words in its title, it's a big red flag

Max: It's complicated and if you don't remember really pointed details about the game, the meaning would be gibberish. Also, TTHW *did* have a craps table in the casino :)

That's like one of my favorite RM games and I still have like no idea what the fuck the title was supposed to even mean. It is a pretty stupid fucking title. (Sorry, Iish. Love the game, though!)

It's a great eye catching title and it has a meaning. Calling it "Vance's Quest" would have been a poor decision.

Again, the reason I pass over games with red flags in their title is because they usually suck. The pros can do it because:

1) They have tons of advertising money (Example: Kingdoms of Amalur)
2) The creators are worshipped by fans (Example: Dragon Age)
3) They're grandfathered in from long running series (Example: Final Fantasy)

4) They aren't RPG Maker games competing against a ton of others using mostly the same art and music assets.

Solitayre: And my old game with the red flag in its title sucks. Like most games that break the rule. That's the point.

If I didn't know anything about the games in this community, I'd skip right over Hero's Realm because of the name.

I'll play Alter Aila Genesis, you play Dragon Spirit Legacy. :)
