My adventures in game creation

GethN7

I'll be blunt: I'm not a very patient person.

 

Typically, I want things yesterday if I need them today, but RM VX Ace has taught me the value of hurrying up and waiting.

 

I've tried other game creation software like Unity3D, which I found way too complicated for my taste, and since I've always wanted to make old school games in classic Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy style, RMVX Ace is probably the best tool for the task I have found yet.

 

However, it's not a magic lamp I can rub for my wish and it will be granted. I've learned I have to check and recheck my event and script coding constantly, have to make sure every process works right, and if I get an error, I have to fix them. This program is not for those who go insane bugtesting and doing general quality assurance work, and for someone like me, I'll admit I sometimes find this program tedious.

 

However, that's usually my innate impatience coming to the fore, and I've learned that suppressing those desires is the only way to get anything done, otherwise I'd still be looking at my very first Alpha build of the game I'm working on.

This is a really honest look on what it takes to make a game in RMVX-Ace and I agree with what was mentioned. Any developer starting a game should take a look at this because a lot of people get discouraged when they find out how big of a task it actually is if they're trying to make a quality game.

 

All I can say is that it's best to keep moving forward no matter what gets in the way, it's a very rewarding experience to bring your ideas to life.
