RPG Maker Classics

[Merchant]

Just had a thought that, one of my fav types of games is rpg maker horror/exploration/adventure etc games, I'm not really sure how to define it. I have a massive list of rpg maker games that I either have played/need to or stored on a hard drive. Some of my favourites being, IB(beat 3 times once on my 3ds, now playing the steam remake, mad father(havent played remake, never beaten yume nikki but thats a whole other off shoot genre of rpg maker games lol. Dream explorers is the best thing I could up with lol. Lisa, akemi tan, ao oni, the crooked man, witches house etc etc. I'm probably forgetting some, its such big genre weridly enough and I bet theres a ton of old and new ones I've not heard about. Need to get back into finding them.

There already exists a pretty good RPG Maker thread here, where people share and discuss RPG Maker games, you should check it out!

If you guys wanna, I have a game called Oracle of Tao.

It was on rpgmaker.net but their certificate has expired, so I'd recommend going to Itch IO instead.

Here's my main page too.

All my games, you can technically pay for (it helps me out), but it's not required. I like Alpaca: Escape For The Butcher's Shop, it's very much a Katamari game. Your alpaca eats meat to make market weight so it can be turned into sausage. If you don't manage that, you get the "bad" ending of only being used for wool.

MOTHER: Cognitive Dissonance

<p>Created and directed by MOTHER fan “Handish2000” or “Otherhand” in the year 2009, Mother: Cognitive Dissonance is a fangame that is a side-story and sequel to MOTHER 1 and a prequel to MOTHER 2, explaining what happened between the two games, hence the subtitle, “Between Two Times”. Starring...

I'm gonna use this opportunity to talk again about Aëdemphia.
Take a look at a random screenshot:

And tell me why you don't know a single thing about it.
Is it because it's not yet finished? No?
Is it because it's French? N-
It is because it's French, isn't it.

You should definitely check out Fear & Hunger 1 and 2.

yeah I seen good things about those games

 

[PSVitaForever]

In the "RPG maker" for Switch I downloaded a free game titled "The Tenth Realm" (I believe there was a section in which you could filter games by title?), not sure how I found it but it was a nicely made rpg; you can choose which area to beat first from a main hub and after every area you get a new character, the level difficulty was well balanced.

Corpse Party is like a super vintage version but never played that, playing the 3ds one tho and thats pretty similar to the ones we are talking about. Misao? was another one. Schuld?

For some reason, every time I try to recommend Aëdemphia, I keep getting ignored. So I won't even try to sell you on it.
Well, okay.

• It's been in development since forever
• Nice art
• Super fucking long
• Mixes CRPG and JRPG elements
• Has (janky, yet cool) fully animated sequences
• French cartoon vibe, you know the one
• It's French
• Only in French
• Oh...

I've made some really stupid shit for gamejolt and newgrounds on rpg maker

There’s actually a full on Shin Megami Tensei remake on RPGMaker, kinda surprised it wasn’t mentioned

Shin Megami Tensei XV

Shin Megami Tensei XV, a fan remake of the first Shin Megami Tensei in RPG Maker XV, was translated into English late last week. It adds some new routes and QoL additions, but appears to be pretty true to the original game. I haven't been able to play more than the intro yet due to work, but...

Excuse me, fellas... Totally noob question: I was heavily interested on that "Wind I Creator" game featured on the opening post, but I can't find any info on it.

A little help, please? Looks like it'd be right up my alley.

This look a bit more searching than usual but I believe this is the GitHub page for the game. I compared some of the sprite art to OP's screenshot and it looks to be a match. Let me know if I found the right game or not:

Thanks! I'll have to check as soon as I have access to a computer (so... As soon as I find someone to bother lol), but I really appreciate you taking the time for it!

7th Stand User for sure. Takes during part 3 where your character joins as the 7th Stand User with many events and endings centered around what you do. You can even side with DIO (and betray him if you want). There are custom Stands for yourself and enemy Stand users that you encounter on your way to Cairo. The Stand that you do get can affect certain events or other things and they do play differently.

Does VX Ace count as an older version?

 

[Deleted member 560402]

Never was able to download any so I just made my own. :)

Anyone have any interest in classic RPG Maker games? Or even just games made on the older versions of RPG Maker?

I just finished off Wind I Creator which is a raising sim made basically entirely in RPG Maker 2003 with the default assets or edits of the default assets. You try to raise an army of clones of this incredibly frail girl so you can use a medicine with a 1/10000 chance of death on her to cure her condition. Was a really fun time with some good jokes, plus it's really interesting how far they can push the engine.

Would love to hear what you've been playing or any of your old favorites!

you wouldn’t happen to have a download link for this game? I tried looking for it but I can’t find it, it looks really interesting!

You can find a link on this page + a bunch of other RPG Maker games translated by the same guy.

The only one I know that hasn't been mentioned yet is the Middens - Gingiva - Where They Cremate The Roadkill trilogy, the first two games are free. While fairly flawed from a technical standpoint, they are extremely bizarre and dreamlike experiences inspired by collage art. The third game is a personal favorite of mine.

But if I had to choose a favorite RPG Maker game, it ironically would be the original Yume Nikki, a game that isn't a RPG. Other honorable mentions are OFF and Space Funeral, the latter also has a few fan sequels worth checking out.

 

[Cantarella]

I preferred some of the weirder more experimental games over the FF-derivatives but a lot of these could become very self-indulgent. I remember really liking The Way games, Yume Nikki (all time Japanese horror classic), Middens, some of Calunio's projects were good too. I really wish I could include Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden but that sadly ended up getting completed in Game Maker.

the way is pretty great. also pretty bad (those early episodes...) but it hits its stride (heh) around episode 4. its really interested to just see, this author's psyche as he makes these games. I think he had some kind of catastrophic breakup during episode 6. The worldbuilding is legitimately interesting, even if it all doesn't amount to much. Something about that series always pulls me back in.

Rhue is also just kind of an interesting protagonist. rarely do you get to play as a guy this unhinged.
