discussion Do you hate RPGM games?

[kuraiken]

Depends on the game.
RPGM is an engine. And like every engine, it kinda depends on what you do with it.
With JS knowledge, you can create visual novels, space shooters, real time strategy games - 'cause RPGM is really just a pre-built editor interface for a nwjs browser application that has a pre-designed (optional) game system.

A lot of devs just throw stuff into it, do the bare minimum, and try to make money through the power of the lewd with as little effort as possible.
Others put an enormous amount of effort into rewriting the game, designing new mechanics, drawing artworks & animations, etc.

Symphony of the Serpent, for instance, is a relatively new RPGM game by NLT Media. It looks VERY different from the 08/15 cookie cutter RPGM game.

You can also find tactics games like Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga.

Both are RPG Maker games.

So it looks like they CAN be decent, but 99% of those who use RPGmaker use the shit default way. And an RPG isn't a good way anyway for an adult game.

Agree on number 1, number 2 seems a personal and subjective point.

Why would RPGs not be good for adult games? Witcher 3 has softcore sex scenes. Make 'em hardcore, and change the themes of the story to be more adult oriented and there you go.

Well, for one thing most of us get pissed off if there's any sort of difficulty. We just want choices for who to get and what to do, not play an RPG.

So you want kinetic novels with choices and zero difficulty, that also aren't kinetic novels because they suck and aren't games?

I think that's your personal preference. I like my games difficult. If there's no challenge, it's boring.

 

[Echo Foxtrot]

There are some good RPGM games out there. Anna EA, Elena's life, Little Braver, and Manila Shaw. To be fair RPGM need good waypoints and quest logs or it's a mess.

I don't hate it, but it's a lot of work for little +18 content. I think it takes too long.

No, choices as to who to pursue, etc. I don't like a challenge in games period. Most games out there have the difficulty at about 90 billion. I need it at about a 2. I stick with games like Sims 2 and such. Heavily using cheats.

I like RPGM games when they are well done or at least short and to the point , some of them are really made to waste your time running around to unlock some scenes, renpy sandbox games have the same problem sometimes

 

[ripportier]

I don't look at those games at all. Any gems I might have missed?

 

[Republican Bear]

I love playing them as RPGs as I was fan of such games in the 90's. Heck I have played them since RPGMaker XP.

Having said that I don't like playing adult RPGMaker games all that much. Though there are a few good examples.

Ultimately most are just a huge pile of garbage, and they used to be free till they allowed developers to make money.

Depends on what you're looking for.
There's good SFW and NSFW games, depending on what floats your boat & what genres you're intro.

I really liked Meltys Quest when it came out, it's been some years since i played it but i think it's on the shorter side

 

[User_56991]

I hate RPGM Games. How about you?

Not a big fan since the movement adds nothing. Not like walking through a forest or city in a modern 3D masterpiece where you can marvel at the tech. Just silly pixels that are eating up time as you rush to the next plot coupon.

Having said that, some of the better games are RPGM, so gotta do what you gotta do.

Nowhere near as much as Unity.

 

[User_111574]

I wouldn't use the word "hate." I just don't like them. The user interface is awkward, the graphics when moving the characters reminds me of computer games from my childhood. I just can't play them - it's uncomfortable, the graphics in general are often mediocre, in general RPGM is a kind of stop word for me. I prefer RenPy and Unity exclusively.

 

[User_111887]

I don't hate RPGM but I do lose interest in playing the game.

 

[magicace]

Can't say I'm a big fan of them. Game-wise they're okay, but as far as adult games go, they feel like theyre lacking a bit.
