Recently I've played through Yume Nikki, OFF, Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden (which I guess is really gamemaker rather than RPGmaker) , Uncommon Time and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User.
Yume Nikki is a classic and I liked OFF a whole lot more than I thought I would. Barkley had really surprisingly good character writing in between the jokes (or maybe I'm just a sucker for tragic hero archetypes like Barkley). 7th Stand User is an all around masterpiece that pretty much validates RPGmaker existing on its own and I'm definitely going to come back and New Game+ it to see more possibilities and stands - I had no idea going in that there would be so much in the game.
So have I tapped the mine for RPGmaker games? People seem to like LISA but is it good enough to pay for? Should I just play the first one and pretend the sequels don't exist? Has anyone played any other RPGmaker games that were actually fun?
I forgot about that one. I'll check it out sometime.
Dominic Reed
Don't pay for it, also the first part is better than the second.
Caleb Turner
Lisa is really good but the developer went fucking insane after his father died so don't give him any money.
Logan Rivera
Off is very good but don't bother with the fan games. They are fucking garbage. As for recommendations? You should play space funeral if you liked those other games. Very… interesting writing that you'll greatly enjoy if you liked the writing in Off.
Jose Rivera
I once knew this spergy girl who made a game on RPGmaker as a kid.
Adrian Moore
Why is that something you felt was necessary to share?
Elijah Nelson
In theory amongst the hundreds of RPG maker games that use default scripts, a few might be decent RPGs.
I'm struggling with code, so the temptation to just make Generic Quest #3058 is blinding- even if I can't find someone to make OC sprites.
Hunter Butler
I'd heard of Space Funeral but I didn't try it yet because I didn't realise I'd like things like OFF so much. I'll play that next. Good mashup.
There are spergy girls out there who make RPGmaker games as adults. There are classy Japanese ladies who do it too.
Having OC sprites really goes a long way to making an RPGmaker game stand out as "good" among its kind. But if you're learning from scratch, it might take longer to make the sprites than the rest of the game.
Gabriel Martin
Play Ib, its free and its not that bad.
Owen Cruz
Guess I'll write books.
Benjamin Harris
just make a text adventure that isn't shit
Justin Rivera
But what's the point in making something interactive if there's no accompanying artwork? I can't entrap an entire generation of young men by waifubaiting if there's no art.
Thomas Foster
Do the sprites yourself, nigga. Even shit programmer art will stand out and have more character than the default sprites.
What about imagination? Surely as a budding writer you know its power.
Luke Price
The only literature that really makes it big and into the public eye nowadays is young adult fiction aimed at the middle school and early high school demographics. I'm aiming at the extreme limits of high school and college up to middle-aged. Old people can join too I guess.
I understand it's not exactly a clear-cut distinction - I was reading mostly stuff intended for an adult audience as early as elementary school, and as an adult still watch the occasional shonen - but you get the picture.
Levi Ross
People pay Fenoxo 28k month for a game that has tiny pictures of varying quality for character art, and even before that, it was just tiny pixaleted sprites on the bottom of the screen that you have squint to make any detail out. If you can stick your dick in something weird, or have that weird thing stick their dick in you, people will cram their autismo bux down your throat.
Cooper Lewis
Chara can beat Madotsuki ez.
Nathaniel Martinez
chara is a mary sue edgelord, madotsuki is just a hikikomori that does drugs
Isaac Campbell
I know of another similar game that makes 12k as well, people will pay quite a bit for games involving their fetishes
Gavin Gray
And he does a terrible fucking job at it already. You could write the first things that come to your head and do a better job than him.
Angel Morris
I would say it depends on what you're looking for. There's too many generic RPGs but there's at least one that stands out for me: Forever's End. sadly not a complete game and seems to be stuck in development hell? I enjoyed it for multiple characters and their skillsets as well as upgrading them. One character was a drunken swordmaster that changes his usual melee class to black/white magic via alcohol in battle or out of battle. The plot's not much to write about, but the characters themselves are a joy to use. But feel free to call my taste shit if the game isn't for you. It's still a try. I just miss having set character archtypes in RPGs, never mind unique ones.
Luis James
Continue Stop Rise is good though.
Cooper Flores
shieeeeet
David Green
What was that RPG Maker game written in a entirely unknown language that only the dev could understand?
Liam Hernandez
Yume Nikki really is a comfy NEET life simulator.
Doesn't seem to have updated since 2012, so it's safe to say it's not getting finished. But it's a complete "episode one" so I guess there's enough to be enjoyable, like Anonymous Agony. Thanks for the recommendation.

Anime has Pozpigs? Never knew.
Easton James
Dungeons & Prisoners when??
Kayden Cooper
GOOGLE HORSE without Hooves & new born Foal Hooves
David Evans
Do not listen to this man, he only wishes to cause you mental harm and misfortune.
tl;dr: It tells you how to implement Chat Mapper files into RPG Maker VXAce, which makes creating Fallout/Torment/Arcanum-level branching dialog trees much easier.
Nicholas Price
It's always interesting to see how far people can push this program. If nothing else there are some obvious oversights in the default scripts that pretty much everyone has to figure out how to script around.
Samuel Hill
not an arguement
Brandon Martin
fucking thank you holy shit, user second part is tryhard edgy bullshit
Kevin Adams

Aiden Brooks
I should've listened, but I chose not to. I deeply regret my mistake.
Zachary Taylor
Lowering the barrier of entry to get a game on steam was a mistake.
Ethan Wright
I've been enjoying Pokey Quest so far. It helps that the comics that it's based off of are good.
