I recently started on one of my dreams, and that dream is to make & finish an RPG. Of course I plan to finish this game but I say that for all games. Anyway this game is about aliens invade the earth and breaks the earth apart. This RPG is something that I have been thinking of for a while but I never had enough sprites to actually start but I do now. I am a good story-maker and now is the time to put it to the test. The battle engine is 70-80% done which is a good thing because the battle engine is what beats people up and prevents them from finishing. I forgot the most important part! The games name is Hiatus(working title) and if your not sure what that means you might want to look that up (Just playing it means a missing part). The game has a sort of a create-a-character but then again I wouldn’t name it that because you don’t get to choose, it is random on who you are. I don’t believe in posting W.I.P.’s so you don’t have to worry about me posting one. Uhh this is all I really have to say, so now just gawk at a couple of screenshots.

Hey, nice! The top screenshot looks…empty. Keep working on it. I tried to make an RPG, but I never got very far. It's not easy. Good luck.
yeah it is extremely hard but Im going to try my best.
and iknow about the first screen I am still working on it, just recently started on thatTry to improve the graphics. Other than that, good luck! =D
Theoretically a RPG engine is not too difficult,
its just very time consuming!But thats because of the variables,can you use arrays in GM (never tried, but I have used them in LUA)because if you could, they would be very eseful for storing monster data, and would be alot easier to call,(plus it would make a fighting engine alot easier to code)If you can create the fighting and movement engine first, (which by looking at the screenshots you have done), then the game should be easier from there,so long as you don't get writer's block from the story! [:D]Tesla wanted to break the earth apart using a series of large explosions timed to match the Earth's resonant frequency. Do that.
most of the sprites are from RPG maker…
But it looks nice! I'm making a RPG too.Did you get those (grass/cliffs,etc) from Reiner's Tilesets or did you make them because they are really good.
At some point every Game Maker believes his dream is to make a RPG, too bad not many get more far than the basic movement engine.
@amerup: iknow iknow i am trying my best to get flawless graphics
@Retrovertex: you left out sprites, sprites can stop a games progress as well@Shork: That does sound good, something simular may be added in the game, or sequal(if i even finish)@robcob: iknow it is hard to find honest spriters@theparaoh: i got the grass and what not from chara website@gml_josea: my dream has been that ever since i first played ff7
