RPG Maker games

Post by Lykoris »

Seems like a suitable topic for a pixel art themed website.
Have you made any of your own? RPG Maker girls used to not be taken seriously but after the success of Fear & Hunger (which I'm a fan of) I think we might see a possible RPG Maker revival in the future. I, myself am thinking of creating my own RPG Maker adventure after finishing both F&H games, based on a dream I've had years ago.

I wasn’t super into RPG Maker games, but some of my friends dragged me into the worlds of Yume Nikki and OFF. I think the simplistic charm of the engines really helps push towards more surreal storytelling, considering the possibilities with texturing, sounds, music and spriting.

I actually wanna make my own little RPG Maker project… I’m using the 2003 version for it ^^

RPGM horror games are a special kind of genre. I've not played Fear & Hunger but I've seen parts of it. It seems a lot darker than most RPGM titles, so I'm glad it's broken through the market. It could've so easily been invisible.

My mind is thrown back to titles like IB, OFF (like above), The Witch's House, One Night, Ao Oni...anyone remember the Hetalia Ao Oni...? Lmao

I haven't played any RPG Maker games lately, but Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea has been on my list for a long time now... (I'm gonna play it as blind as possible :D)

I've not heard of Fear & Hunger but I really enjoyed RPG Maker games when I was younger. Wadanohara was one of my favorites. I do kind of wonder why most of the stand-outs are horror, or at least thematically pretty dark? Is no one making really good generic RPGs?!

I'm over a month late. Hopefully that's okay. I'm a huge RPG Maker enthusiast. I run a webring for it and some other groups. I am making two games in RPG Maker, one is a larger one that I've been working on since 2021 that will release in December and the other is a smaller one I'm making for a game jam that will release in November. I've loved the RPG Maker engine since I was very young, since the RPG Maker horror boom of the early 2010s back when let's players were the biggest genre on YouTube.

Fear and Hunger scares me, so I haven't played it, but I'd like to play it with my friends so there is a buffer between just me and the game HAHA..

My favorite recent releases are 8:11, re:curse, Halope, Married in Red, and some others. I could go on and on. I'm hosting an RPG Maker zine right now that will get a physical release, and I am very excited ^_^ I hope RPG Maker enthusiasts are around forever!
