First timer!
Hi all! I'm L0veRaven, but everyone just calls me Raven. I'm a livestreamer, but I also have plans to make my own RPG game. I plan on it being a farming & social simulator game (inspired by Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Harvest Moon). I know that using RPG Maker XP is gonna be difficult for game making, but I've seen a couple farming sim games made in XP so I know it's possible. To what extend, I'll find out along the way.
I originally wanted to make my own game in XP back when I was anywhere from 11 to 13, but I never managed to understand how the program worked. I don't think I looked up any YouTube tutorials for it, so that's probably where I failed. I tried to get creative with things though! I wasn't going to be a farming sim though. I think it was going to be more of a "movie" in a game engine, which is kinda silly looking back on it.
Anyways, I can't wait to see what I can learn on the forums and hopefully it'll help me get the hang of the program faster!
I do have a question though:
Would learning RGSS be useful in making a game in XP?
From the perspective of someone that's in progress of making my own Stardew Valley NPC, I tried using an NPC creation program (MissCoriel's NPC Maker), but I wasn't able to utilize it well, but figured out how to understand the coding when I starting physically writing notes on the different variables and whatnot. NPC coding (at a bare minimum) uses JSON and Stardew itself uses C#, so do you think that background experience might help me in XP?
I hope my intro post isn't too confusing, but feel free to reply and I'll respond!
