I have got to tell you: A lot of....kids (not me, ok...me too...), struggle with RPG Maker xp/vx/2003/etc. Well tonight I downloaded Chris Pines Pragmatic Programming - Learn to Program Ruby and that makes it at LOT easier. And I get so frustrated with RPG Maker VX because I can't find everything to help me understand. Like the Window_Base script inherits from Window and that script isn't in the script list for editing... But THANK GOD (like really, thank you God) I found Gosu. Now I can work on my Final Fantasy Tactics type game and just use the RPGM-VX scripts as coding references to learn how to do stuffs. This is so great. Thank you Gosu! I have exactly the right balance of guidance and control I have been struggling to find in order to really take off on this endeavor. I shall keep you all updated on my Tactical RPG on this thread.
I'd like to see your game. I don't think anyone here has posted anything RPG related. Your enthusiasm really makes me want to work harder on my game as well. ^_^
So far I'm working on the New Game, Continue, Exit, New Game + on the Title Screen. I think it will be really kewl to have the whole process chronicled as updates on this thread so I, and others, can see how far you go! ^^
