MAIA'S PROFILE

My name is not Maia, but instead it is something that I was dubbed on Don Migel's old forum for the first game that I showed off to the public. My generic name was changed into Maia, and since then I have been Maia. I am a girl, I am old compared to some other people, in fact for the majority of RPG Makers, I am twice their age.

I was born in Russia, and moved to America when I was a teenager, but not as an exchange student. Back in Russia, I am a published author and I have written two dozen books. One dozen of which have been published.

Screenshot Shogunate

I hope that this is not too many screen shots:



There are many dead bodies piled up from the cold.


Showing off the new lighting effects. Glowing save crystal and lit lanterns.


Fort Weston that defends the western portion of Ravana.


The path leading up to Fort Weston with a grave to the north.


It will take more than the king's permission to get past the guard that blocks the way.


Hope not to see the dungeon of Fort Weston.


The entrance to the Shrine of Xarzith.


The mysterious ruins.


A path inside of a labrynth of dead trees.


















The many mysteries of the witch hut.


Just a demonstration of how long I have been playing the game.


A canoe can take you to mysterious places.


A very intelligent cave to be in full of tricks and traps.


There are secrets everywhere.


Levers help solve bridge puzzles everywhere.


Note from Karsu: Why are you posting the same screenshots again? Think before posting please.

Note from Maia: I posted these on another forum... not this forum.

*Get your "unfinished" games reviewed*

World Crafters :-)

It is unfinished, but still about 12 hours long for me. I am looking for someone to play it 1 hour into the game.

Castle Quest Demo Review

This is a novel of a review. :-)

RPG bosses...

author=BlueMind link=topic=1510.msg23572#msg23572 date=1215908593
Just a thought here, but it seems that every last boss in every RPG is UBER! powerd up...Its almost a untold rule of thumb that your last boss must be nearly unbeatable. I feel almost udderly forced to make all his stats maxed and his skills legendary in power. But how do you balance this...????


(I think ill let the discussion start here)

Nearly unbeatable? Like people play to that point :-)

Grand Theft Release Something! IV: Guns of the Patriots [Sept 22nd]

I will post a new version of World Crafters. First new version since July 3rd and the game has changed and grown in a lot of great ways.

So maybe we should lower our standards a tad.

People have always loved and played my games despite no new graphics or scripts. Just make your game fun and that will make up for it.

Story Developement: Killing off Characters

Never ever kill off player characters, only big NPCs. People spend hours upon hours of increasing player characters. Have them turn, but killing is so finalized.

Long RPG Maker Games

author=Jparker1984 link=topic=1574.msg24731#msg24731 date=1216676291
sorry if this is the wrong forum. I was wondering if there are any long RPG Maker Games. Most of the full games i find are like 15-20 hours at max. some as low as 8. Are there any around the time range of 35-40 hours

My game Maia 2K3 is around 40 hours. However, most people don't play it past 15 minutes.

Game Design Discussion of the Week: Hey Assholes, Stop Giving Up.

Why did you give up on your game?


1. I don't have time! I have a life you know!


Yeah I have a life too. I am a writer, but I do not sleep :-) I do not let RPGing get in the way. My project can remain untouched for a month or two, but eventually I get *the itch.* The feeling, the want and desire to RPG make once again.

author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=1611.msg25440#msg25440 date=1217144383
2. My project was erased from my computer!


Yeah, that happens.

author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=1611.msg25440#msg25440 date=1217144383
3. My project isn't what I originally envisioned it to be!


Yeah, that happens too! Actually, happens to me all the time. Projects take on another life, hopefully that life is better.

author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=1611.msg25440#msg25440 date=1217144383
4. My project sucks and nobody likes it!


Happens to me all the time. I think it is because I flood people with info where nothing at all can be said. I purposely throw in quirky errors just to get people posting.

5. This is too hard!


Duh, so don't do it and don't post your project.

NPC Dialogue.

Captain Bligh is such a dastard.

He'd kill you if he heard you say that.

What say you new guy? Made up your mind yet about the capt?

I just gotta warn ya, pick a side now before ya get killed in the crossfire.

Welcome aboard, you'll find that I'm a very generous man. At first, I'm generous enough to let you keep your life, if ya last long enough, I might even be generous with me gold too.

Bligh is a dangerous and wanted man, he's robbed many ships of the empires. Careful what friends you keep...

... that is dialog written on the fly!
