Anyone Know RPG Maker Well?
10 years ago
General
I started a Kirby RPG project alongside a friend of mine, and I've gotten several other acquaintances to help work on writing and music, but as it stands now, the only one on the team who actually knows how to use the program has no interest in the project and does not like working on it. He started it as a joke, but since he was building an actual game and putting sprites in and everything, I wasn't aware it was a joke at first and got really excited about making the game. Now we're in a situation where the person doing half or more of the work does not have any interest in what they are working on and doesn't enjoy it whatsoever. This makes progress not only unpleasant, but also really slow.
So, basically, I'm looking for a new team member (or even several) who know RPG Maker VX Ace at least decently well and would be willing to help me with programming, scripting, that kind of thing. As it is, the game is functioning in that we have a title screen, part of an opening cutscene, custom menus, a combat system, sprites for the party members and enemies, some conversation images, multiple party members, and even a working mechanic for an easter egg that would become available late in-game. The essential building blocks are all there, I just need someone who can help me start building. I have no idea how the program works or how to use it, all I've been able to do is write, provide artwork, music, help with visual design, that sort of thing.
Also note that anyone who would like to help in ways other than programming is welcome to do so as well. If you're interested, please drop me a note or PM and we can discuss details!

I sadly only know basic RPG Maker functions.

I haven't played around with Ace in a couple years, now. I do have a friend who might know more than me, so I'll ask him, and hopefully be back with good news.

I'm fairly familiar with RPG Maker. I've been using it for over a decade. I can't say I'm the best, but I believe I'm pretty competent on most things.

Any interest in joining a team working on a Kirby RPG?

Possibly~ I'd like to know some deets about it though, if that's okay.

It's early in development, but it's an indirect sequel to Kirby's Adventure in which Nightmare is resurrected and conquering galaxies. Kirby, Meta Knight, Dedede, and Bandana Dee are all playable party members. The copy abilities are implemented as something enemies drop that you can equip when you want, but will last only temporarily... That's everything major I can think of

That sounds pretty sick~ I love Kirby games, and an RPG on it would be sweet! Temporary abilities would definitely be a challenge (unless they were like, 1-time use items like a "potion"). I think this would be within my abilities though! :D

That part has already been done. We have 3 other people working on programming as far as I know, but the more the merrier. You got Skype?

Yup yup! It'll take a master hacker rocket surgeon to figure out my username though!! >:O

I'm guessing it's the same as your username on this.

Damn, I have it, and was even planning on starting a game, but I decided that I wasn't interested enough and decided not to. If I hadn't, I probably would've been pretty decent at it by now.

Ah RPG Maker. I never got my hands on the full version, so I settled for the lite. I spent weeks on it, and hammered out a decent game. (Mostly) So far, I have two dungeons, packed with a few tricks and twists, a team of ten characters strong (party of 4), backstories for em all, dialogues that change based on who is in your party, and unique gear for certain characters once conditions are met.
