Well I shall comply and let you know a little more about myself :thumb: I'll go through the list of intro rules from the top
My history with the Rmaker series begins long ago in a faraway land called Grade 9 :wink: (I'm in grade 12 now) I've always been drawn to game design and editors, the creativity with it is really appealing to me. So I found this program called RPG Maker 2000, and started playing with it! Spent about six months making a game called
Destiny of Orion and then dropped that. The data got deleted when I got a new computer, or else I'd pick it back up, it was cool! Since then I've upgraded to Rm2k3, and recently picked up XP though I still use 2k3 a LOT :grin:
My #1 expertise is in storyline; I'm both a creative writer and a songwriter in the real world, so I apply that to my games. I always try to stick to a good meld between realistic story (the whole
"it could happen" factor and the magical RPG style of things. I'm also an excellent mapper, and am good at making the backbone of a game, like setting up items and skills and stuff... Working in the database. I'm a pretty good eventer and a novice scripter, though I'm learning well, I started playing with RGSS about a month ago! I make music for games (and for me :tongue

I was referred to this forum from another forum (phanxgames.com, you may have heard of it), and am glad to be here now. The more help the better :lol:
I write alot in my spare time, I also love playing guitar, which I've been playing for 5 years now. I picked up the drums a couple months ago, I'm ~decent at that. As for music, I tend to prefer hard rock and metal (System of a Down, Disturbed, KoRn, Rage Against the Machine, and Metallica are my 5 favs) but I listen to everything - from Foo Fighters, to Primus, to Eros Ramazzotti to Ricky Martin. EVERYTHING! :tongue:
As I said, I'm in Grade 12 now, and I might go after post-high school education to become a profession game designer. But I might not. It's a big part of my life, but I don't know what I want for a career!
And one last thing - I
do NOT usually let my posts get this long! I'm completly introducing myself and getting that out of the way! :tongue:Don't worry, I'm not going to be a post fiend, nor will I be a double poster! Haha :smile:
