He probably means switches... I think.

[Lukas]

yeah srry about that... i was just wondering if theres stuff
like walk over "trap" activate switch "Spikes!"

[Ben]

not so much switches, as variables.
And the triggers are programmed by you
theres quite a bit more work then with RPG maker. its more complicated to learn, but you can do XONESQUILLION more with it. Ranging from side view platformers and chat windows to 3-D graphics and multiplayer

thing is... you need to actually learn to use the program. Unlike RPG maker, where a n00b can just learn some basic functions and make a game.
Dont get me wrong, you can do plenty of stuff with RPGmaker... wait... no you cant. nvm

[Ben]

I wasnt being mean. I was being cheeky.

You can do lots with RPGmaker.
As long as its a Top Down RPG
with either a turn based, active battle or if youre really good a TBS

if you ask me its pretty limited.
And what I said was true. A n00b with a good game Idea and some time on his hands only has to learn how to properly use switches Variable and Conditionals in order to make an enjoyable game.

Its limited. I wasnt trashing it, so much as just stating facts. 9/10 time RPGmaker produces a shitty and amateur looking product, because 9/10 times its some kid who wants to make it so u can play with sephiroth and naruto in ur party

[Ben]

Started building a new Adult Human Female template.
Figured Id post the progress

[Ben]

and the kit ive made for the bulky template.
Eventually Ill be adding more attack poses to the original templates
three in total for each type
a one hand attack
2 handed attack
unique/special attack for each type

[Moosetroop11]

Maybe I should take up gamemaker again...

[Ben]

Lol... maybe I should too. I keep making the sprites but havent worked opened the maker for almost 3 weeks

I agree with Gemini 1000%.This is a big problem with RPG-maker is that so many n00bs
don't even try to make good games,just crappy cameos of their favorite animie heros.
And what you said about game maker being better than RPG maker i agree.I would probly take it
up again,but i the problem is finding it free.Plus tutorails and game maker freindly resource sites
with good fan made sprites.

[Ben]

Im not going to say flat out that one maker is better or worse.

Im just saying, If you want to whip up a functioning RPG to show your friends then RPG maker is better for you

And if you want to build something where you have complete controll over things like sprites and gameplay, then GM is probably better.

But in reality, by the time I have all of my Design Documents made, and All of my Tiles, Sprites, Skins, Animations and Icons Made, Stencyl Will probably be released and Ill end up using that (If its anywhere near as easy to use as them mofos claim)

[Rahl]

I've never used GM, is it as hard as everyone says?

[Ben]

Its not 'hard'
But its definatly harder then RPGmaker

[Moosetroop11]

It's more 'frustrating' than anything else.

Anyway, the new templates look nice.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

Boobs need to be bigger.

*walks away*

[Fisherson]

Can u gimmi a link to gm?
or is it on charas.

No it counts as a maker,i think.
