I got Rpg Maker 2000 on my Macbook Prop and working finally after close to 3 years of people saying I couldn't do it.
Well, screw you game making community! It's not that hard. It does require an emulator, but you DON'T need to run Parallels.
Anyways long story short; I joined GIAW - a contest at www.rmrk.com and actually finished Hawkeyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06896778185251240290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340623845808576338.post-78279359067727302962013-05-12T12:26:00.002-07:002013-05-12T12:26:32.829-07:00Still AliveI'm not gone.Hawkeyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06896778185251240290noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340623845808576338.post-11200727573543422342012-03-27T22:42:00.001-07:002012-03-27T22:50:50.576-07:00Waterside rebootedSadly my previous project: Waterside was lost when my last PC went.

I'm still around By: Hawkeye
So I may have been gone a year from this blog, but that's ok as only one person was reading at the time anyways :P I'm back now however because I finally got myself a new PC over the Mac I was using, which made it very difficult to use RPG Maker mainly as you couldn't.

Making a Heads or Tails Mini-Game(Rm2k/2k3) By: Hawkeye
Ok so you want to make a, "Heads or Tails mini-game," this is actually very simple:
1) First off, get yourself a person who's gonna flip the coin, so make an Event and give it the graphic of some random guy. Make the Event Start Condition: Push Key and set the event to Same Level as Hero.

So, I'd like to take a moment to talk about a new site trying to get noticed in the community that deserves recognition. Project-RPG has recently updated their site and organized their somewhat chaotic resource section into something quite worthy of checking out.

Pushing objects(Rm2k/2k3) By: Hawkeye
This is very basic stuff and is meant for mostly newer rm2k users, but it is still useful and it's always good to start with the basics before going complicated. I don't want anyone reading my blog saying it's not good for beginners.

It's said that most independent game designers quit any number of projects 75% through completion. Why? When you're so close do designers become discouraged? Namely because Hawkeyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06896778185251240290noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340623845808576338.post-15848931846381490132010-11-18T21:44:00.000-08:002010-11-18T23:49:13.458-08:00Changing Your Hero's Clothes(Rm2k/2k3)Changing Your Hero's Clothes(Rm2k/2k3)
By: Hawkeye
Ever wonder how it is that in some RPGs people have their hero change his/her outfit and none of the stats are modified?
This isn't as hard as it seems and in this tutorial I'm going to explain: How to make your Hero have a change of clothes. Now this can be greatly modified Hawkeyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06896778185251240290noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340623845808576338.post-49676829711482595492010-11-18T02:14:00.000-08:002010-11-18T02:36:37.331-08:00Keeping busy and Mapping Tidbits
So, I'm still busy joining forums and sites and meeting as many people in the community as possible. I extended invitations to several Youtube posters who are making games, but not really members of any site yet and am hoping they'll join to have their projects featured. I've also contacted several independent game designers for interviews, but I won't reveal any names Hawkeyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06896778185251240290noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340623845808576338.post-59973243851245774582010-11-18T01:14:00.000-08:002010-11-18T01:17:10.802-08:00Improving NPC Interaction (Rm2k/2k3)
Improving NPC interaction(Rm2k/2k3)
By: Hawkeye
RPG's are quite dull when NPC's(Non-Playable Characters) always repeat the same things over and over again.
So, why not improve your Hero's interaction with them by having them give advice or get mad at you. This is a very simple thing to do using only one Hawkeyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06896778185251240290noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340623845808576338.post-48481214448548603152010-11-16T23:08:00.000-08:002010-11-17T00:52:38.611-08:00The search continues So in my continuous search for Rpg Making websites I joined another forum, this one solely for RmVX even though I have yet to get into using it. The site is at RpgmakerVX and I highly recommend them if you plan on using VX or are just curious about it as I was. I hope to be as active there as I am now at KobrasRealm, PhanX and RMRK.

Okay, this feature of RM2k3 may already be known to you; however, I found out about it by a total mistake, and it's GREAT.

It's called Waterside and takes place in a fully customizable town where You, the player have to build up and manage a business and lifestyle while trying to help save your sick grandfather.

This project has been under close observation by many people since early June, 2008. And has quite the eager following behind, which obviously has captured my attention, so listen up.

I would rate this game 7.5/10 only because the graphics could have been better even for it's age and the intro music is annoying.

You can check them out at the Resources Section. So far it's all of my original Charsets created for my games by me. These are Rm2k/2k3 resources, but can be compatible for XP with some modification.
