Welcome to HBGames, a leading amateur game development forum and Discord server. All are welcome, and amongst our ranks you will find experts in their field from all aspects of video game design and development.

Hello all!

Heya, guys and girls. I'm new here (obviously) and just want to let you all get to know me if you wish. first, some basic questions:

* What is your history with RPG Maker and the RPG Maker Community?

My sister is an obsessive rpg player, as am I, and she loved using rpg maker xp, in fact, she used to have an account here I think. As for me, I have no real experience with the program yet, though I have it.

* What is your field of expertise in RPG Maker?

I specialize in atmosphere and theme mainly, not necessarily in rpg maker but in general. I'll elaborate on that in a second.

* How did you find the forums?

Like I mentioned, my sister, though she doesnt come here anymore.

* What you hope to get out of the forum?
I hope to meet artists, learn to make my own games, get some experience in my favorite field of all, Music, and of course to be part of a community of artists and creators. (sounds like I made that from a template, huh? That's how I type, sadly xD)

* What kind of creative talents do you have (outside of RPG Maker)?

Music....that's about it. Making it, playing it, and aside from that just socializing and talking...if that's considered a talent.

* What are your hobbies or interests?

Video Games, Music, Music Studies, and of course my friends.

* What kind of music do you listen to?

Hehe, well that's a very extensive answer, but I can sum it up pretty quick in general terms: Jazz, Classical, Metal, Punk, Post-Rock, Blues, Techno (a bit at least), and anything that involves beautiful design or sound.

* What level of education are you in? What are you studying in college?

I am a high school graduate currently unable to afford college, as things are. My brother and I are both working to get some tuition, and our parents are looking for work too.

As for other information, a bit about my personality. I'm a very happy-ish person you could say, I don't like seeing others sad and so I don't like them seeing me sad. I'm also extremely nervous, my foot never stops tapping haha. Ethnically, I'm a mutt, between my great grandparents im 1/8 rwandan, 1/8 finnish, 1/8 Persian, 1/8 israeli, 1/8 Japanese, 1/4 Russian, and 1/8 Brazillian.

Music is my thing, just about the only thing outside of academics i can do. Normally I would write something like metal or punk, but as of late have taken a huge interest in classical and classical themed game music. This is the main reason I am here, I know this place is a good gathering of people who make their own stuff, and I think it would be great for me to learn from this. So any advice, help, criticism (helpful, not just bashing rude) and comments on my work are always welcome :)

As one last note (I know, I type a lot, nervous, see what I mean?) I'm always happy to collaborate, and help anyone with their projects if they would like their own music, I know this probably belongs in another board, but it isnt really the point of my post so...yeah.

It is very nice to meet you, all :)

Hey nifter, what instruments can you play?

Guitar, Drums, Piano, Bass, my teachers want me to learn all instruments as it can help me write their parts in bands, though I kinda suck at all of those except for guitar hehe. Why do you ask?

PS. Your name is just plain down awesome xD Sorry, I'm a megaman fan, and a history nerd.

What genre of music do you play on Guitar, are you more of a shredding kinda guy, or do you just like to take it easy with campfire songs ?

Metal, jazz, and occasionally the random classical or funk. Whatever tickles my very ticklish fancy.
Hehe, well actually both. I can shred, yes, its what I love to do. But I also learned chords and how to play them because of their importance. Unfortunately, I have never gotten to play by a campfire :sad:

Well I imagine it's pretty cold playing by a campfire anyways, lol... (I've slept by a campfire, and it's not as cozy as they make out on those cartoons !)

Maybe you could post some recordings of you playing your instruments ? :thumb:

Lol, sure why not. My normal guitar is in the shop but luckily I have audacity, band in a box, my amp, and my microphone. Gimme a few minutes to crank out a little improv to one of my instrumental chord progs.

Here you go, a quick little 8 minute jazz improv in the C major scale. Recorded from my headset microphone :D

jaz.wav - 44.26MB

Sadly, band in a box only gives a good style for jazzy or rock-ish improvs, well that and country but I'm not all that much for country hehe
I also posted a topic in the music section with a sample of my attempts at video game music, go over there and look if u wanna hear something I didnt actually play but just wrote :D

That's actually pretty nifty (Oh god not the pun, please not the pun !, Actually, it wasn't intended)
The only thing I could say for C&C would be that the guitar is a tad quiet but I'm guessing thats your microphone ?

And I'll go listen to your battle theme now (I saw the thread, just didn't go in it)
