Gamemaker, Game-Maker, make me a game... win RPG Maker VX Ace! *COMPLETED*

lol that gif, just wanted to say that, bye

island full of dinosaurs, drop hero in the fray

a game about bob

i love the idea of creating games, and got a lot of ideas. but i lack of the time. But this is awesome of you "doctorofjournalism" :D. Hope to see a lot of good games now :D.

I was thinking about a possible journey through the subconscious of a gamer. Specifically, you'd journey through different parts of their mind which represent different stages of gaming for them, and fight characters which "resemble" famous mascots in gaming. You'd encounter a lot of gaming-centric things like glitches and "DLC", which acts as kind of obstacles aside from the enemies you'd have to fight.

All the while you could be finding out more about the main character and the type of gamer he is today, and how gaming affected his life positively/negatively in different places.

And then in the ending, you'd find out that it was all just a game...bombshock.

I was considering buying RPG Maker VX so i could start my way into game developing by practicing with a simple tool before eventually getting on something more complex. Initially i was thinking about creating an RPG version of the first Deus Ex so i could focus more with technical aspects of the developing stage than writing a story and a script.

An original idea that came up on my mind months ago was about a guy that gets in a coma and starts dreaming, with levels being set in his memories, his psyche and fake memories created by a part of his own mind that wants to screw up the situation even more.

RPG Maker is ill suited for my plans (which is why I've been faffing about with GM Studio), so I'll hold off. I just wanted to say that I love your idea. Cheers!

The... gif... yea bye

Great idea! I don't think I would have enough time/interest to use it so I won't enter, but here's a free bump.

I support this idea 100%! I will always back things that increase the number of game makers out there. You never know who is going to make the next big thing.

I still want to make an RPG that slowly transitions to a foreign language as you play, so that all those hours spent in the game aren't just wasted. Although, something like that might not be suited to RPG Maker, especially if I want logogram drawing incorporated (eg, for teaching CJK).

i own it already, but thanks for the donation!!!

Edit: if i was as sly as you i would have done this instead of redeeming it :D

I would do the soundtrack for a game.

Have a nice day and thanks for the giveaway.

Basically, my idea is you wake up on a deserted island. You are forced to try to gather food. You go to a part of a beach, and you find a small ship. It is a broken ship, and you are forced to fix it. You gather parts, and go to a nearby island because your ship is sinking. There, you try to find parts. You find natives, and you can gather them as crew. You eventually build a ship. The ship you build can be crafted using different parts. You then become a pirate.

I would tell my idea for a game, but I'm probably going to sell it eventually.

Obviously a rogue-like, with pixel art graphics, and punishing Dark-Souls like mechanics. Somehow anime will tie into it. Music will alternate between retro chiptunes and dubstep. Player will pick their own gender, as well as the genders of any and all love interests, and there will be an overarching anti-war theme. Rogue... Souls. Dark like. The game. The movie. The artbook the game. Based on a true story.

Because of a previous giveaway for RPG Maker, me and another user were chatting about an idea.

A Day In The Life Of Bobofatt
With dealing with such trials as Support Tickets everywhere (the random encounters), for beggars, scammers, regifters, rerolls, flames from the banhammered users, etc. I also wanted to include certain well known members for being in Forum Village or being boss fights, but some of that could come under calling out, so...

Jade would be a cranky old hermit far away from other people though. I'm sure he would love that.

I'd hopefully be able to find custom sprites for a Megaman character for the game, and I imagine the Banhammer could either be his most powerful special attack or a heavily limit item. As a limit item, it could instantly beat whoever it was used on. As a move, it would be used as a finisher. Provided I could do it that way.

Leveling up could be "You won a giveaway". :P

The rise and fall of Mr. Meowcatsir on his way to long island ice tea bay on his ship called diarrhea.

Well of course I'd make rpgs of movies/tv shows too, but that is not original. So here are two of my ideas:

1.Your character is a medicine made to cure different mental illnesses and phobias. Each stage represents an illness or phobia and has something characteristic of that illness or phobia. Once you solved the stage, you've cured that illness. However later in the game, cross-over levels will appear where two (or maybe more) illnesses are mixed together.

2.A mostly historically accurate about the time when the Americas were being explored and settled. You would either play as an explorer and face challenges of survival and hostile Natives or play as a settler of one of the original colonies and experience events such as Bacon's rebellion and other historic events.

I have more, but don't want to make this boring/too long.
Thanks for doing this!

Excellent.

I'm currently studying GD, doing a course on programming and considering a ton of options. Have a project that I'll probably develop on AGS, but I was very close to buy RPG Maker and a bit closer, to GameMaker. There is one project in particular that I liked for RPG Maker, and I'll describe it here, though I have to post only the introduction, since posting the whole plot is too risky.

Story

I wanted to develop a small experimental game about a mailman (or mailwoman?), that works on a very special mailing company, and find himself/herself with the lives of other peoples. The twist is that this plot is set in the current times, where no one mails to each other. So somehow, this mailing company manages to mostly get very personal mails. The how is why is hidden yet, and the lives affected and how it develops, it's part of the rest of the plot.

I think it might be a very nice experiment, and it will be very "bright" game with very "dark" stories, such as is life. RPG Maker could be an ideal complement to make a game like this :D

Think of it a To The Moon, but with not-that-linear gameplay.

Stupid question. Do we have to make the game we propose?

An apocalyptic sim: No main story, no crazy plot twist, no ridiculousness(Outside of the cause for the apocalypse).
Open, randomly generated(ish) world, in which you can:

1. Build your own base and protect it.
2. Find and interact with other survivors (NPC's and Players)
3. Loot anything available, and create nearly any item you can imagine.

This is just a very general overview, that I may change if I am required to. If you want any additional information (anyone, not just the OP) just let me know here or on steam.

A Time Travel RPG...

You are a happy normal person in 2120... and that's when things go wrong. Scientist have been trying to find a way to time travel, but it hasn't been easy, that's when you propose something new. When you test your method, things go wrong and you are sucked into the void, and you meet the God of Time. He isn't particularly happy for seeing you, and tells you that you should not mess with time and as a punishment he sends your closest friends and family back and forward in time and it's your job to get them all back.

You would have to solve mini puzzles, and use the things you know from your time to solve the riddles in the future/past. As you level up, you get the ability to travel further in time. Each time you time travel, you would have to fight mini bosses related to that period of time, creating time paradoxes or not. (Let's say you kill... Hitler... what would then happen?) The God of Time would be the final boss and after the fight the gateway to time travel would be forever closed.

It would be cool that whatever you do in the past, affects the future... it's doable with RPG Maker, just requires a bit extra work.

'RPG Maker' RPG!

Snoop Dogg RPG

16-bit retro style

Working Title:
Dogg Pound Chronic-les Part I: From tha Chu'ch to tha Palace

game works backwards to title
dude with amnesia pieces together he's snoop. title card flies up at the end.

My idea would be for a Steamgifts based game, loosely based on the Wizard of Oz. Intrepid users would be embroiled in an epic quest to reach cg at the Emerald City, in order to discover the secrets of the universe, and perhaps become endowed with some desirable trait, or hitherto absent organ. A fountain of endless Fortices may also be involved.

Without wishing to call anyone out personally, I envisage that this quest might be aided or hindered by a selection of NPCs, drawn from the good, the bad and the ugly of the Steamgifts community. Chaos, controversy, and the occasional "Thanks for Skyrim" would undoubtedly ensue.

Not sure how readily RPG Maker VX Ace supports additional DLC, but I have high hopes for an "me too, me too" zombie mod, along with a plethora of overpriced skins and weaponry.

I truly hope we can make this happen :)
