Subtitle: Times have changed. What's new this month?


Well, it's the first day of September, and it's time for a new update. I would wait until a bit more time has passed, but I tend to be an impatient fellow.

My newest game, the Time System Tech Demo, was released two days ago. It's seen one dowmload at the Mag and two at the Pav. Honestly, I can't help but feel a little disappointed. The game and readme took about a good month of development, and I was hoping for a better reception than what it got. Then again, rpgmaker games don't tend to have outstanding downloading numbers on the first day. They tend to have more of a slow cooking method; where games get downloaded in small numbers over a long period. So I'm trying not to get too discouraged just yet.

I also recieved RPG Tsukuru 4 in the mail today. First thing I notice is how heavy the damn thing is. It's got quite the manual, and two disks, in a big case. I'm looking forward to messing around with this for a bit. Might we see a release from Quixotic Productions that's for RPGT4? MAYBE! :lol It's an exciting thought, if nothing else.



And so the big question on everyone's mind: with the time demo complete, what's my next project?

I'm actually planning on taking another small break from RPGMaker. Rather than continue production, I think it's wise to sit down for a while and carefully consider my next project. And I do have an idea, and have already made some levels. I think for nowI'm going to relax, collect my thoughts, plan my next move, and then charge full steam into development.

Here's what I'd like to do; release one more game before the end of the year. Whether that happens or not, we'll see.

And that's it for now. I may take the rest of the month on haitus, but I'll get back up soon and begin development for a new exciting game.

Stay tuned!

Haha, well, at least you're honest about it!

And let's leave the topic at a bit of a strange point:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT

I've also purchased RPG Tsukuru 3. What do I have in store for it? You'll find out sooner or later.

Dude, didn't you pay any attention in the topic you asked about these?!

RPG Maker 1 and RPG Tsukuru 3 are THE SAME GAME! :>_<

I know that. I knew that when I asked in the previous topic.

Maybe it makes him feel better that no one plays his game because they can't rather than because they choose not to. :D

Can't say just yet. I'll inform you of my plans after my haitus, which will likely be next month.

I think I know what you plan on doing.

You're going to look at the english text in RPG Maker 1, compared to the japanese text in RPG Tsukuru 3, and use that to figure out RPG Tsukuru 4, and hopefully be able to make something.

if I'm right, you're in for some trouble. RPG Tsukuru 4's commands arent all the same. agetec changed some of the terminology for the US release of 1, and some of the terminology from RPG Tsukuru 3 has been changed in 4. not to mention 4 has a ton of new features (layers, variables, more battle system and attack options, new event properties and types, for just a few examples) that you won't find in RPG Tsukuru 3 and RPG Maker 1.

If I'm right about your intentions, you're going to run into the same problems I did when I attempted it several years ago. too many new and changed terms to really make good use of the software. but I wish you luck all the same.

Thanks for the concern Valkysas, but that's not what I had planned. Heck, just booting up the main menu proves enough that there's so much different with 4 than 3, it's amazing.

I'm thinking of shorting my haitus from the whole month to about half a month. I still haven't decided. Actually RPG Tsukuru 3 hasn't arrived in the mail yet, which may make me swing either way. I'll post here when I make up my mind.

It's pretty similiar, obviously. There were a couple of surprises, like the ascii intro showing up and not freezing. Also I was surprised that O is confirm and X is cancel, not the other way around. Other little surprise was the inclusion of english text in message boxes, but there's so little space to type out anything in English.

I'm starting to appreciate what Agetec did, in other words ;)

So here's what I'm thinking I'm gonna do.

I purchased RPG Tsukuru 3 with plans to work on an original title for the maker. But at the same time, I kind of realize that this move leaves a lot of people out in the cold, since almost nobody could play it. So, I figure that if I'm going to be working on games nobody can play, then I better make something that will be enjoyed by everyone.

So, next time I post in my forum, it will be the announcement of the new game I'm making for RPGM1.
