The bad games get the spotlight while actual quality games get ignored. It's quite simple. You only know about the lame walking simulators, horror games, and JPG gallery porn games because those are the ones curated the earliest and in the largest quantities.

nta but people will look at these (admittedly amazing feats of engineering) and say "why not just use game maker" because at this level of engine overhaul you're likely calling a bunch of draw sprite operations, using the database variables as registers for a bunch of custom systems/UI, and forgoing a lot of the built-in features that are meant for a Dragon Quest-style RPG. The engine is being used more like a framework (e.g. Love2D) than an engine, and by using RPG Maker to make these games, you're actively fighting the engine to do what you want, rather than the engine being helpful to you.
You can think of these posts as "look at this sculpture of David I made with a toy chisel" and then people saying "why is a toy being used for this, just use an actual chisel"

>>746903940
Well, if it worked for Undertale.
>>
>>746903940
Making any game in any engine is all about wrangling the engine to get it to do what you want. The only thing that matters is how easy it is to wrangle it and in RPGMaker's case there's a wealth of documentation and it has ease of use behind it.

>The only thing that matters is how easy it is to wrangle it
I'd argue that it is easier to make side-scrollers using something like Game Maker instead of RPG Maker.
>in RPGMaker's case there's a wealth of documentation and it has ease of use behind it.
this is true but probably not to the level of making a side-scroller. RPG Maker docs are going to discuss how to make RPGs. Which is why it's easier to make these games with Game Maker because you're going to find a lot more relevant info for "how to make a 2d sidescroller with game maker" on google than "how to make 2d sidescroller on RPG Maker 2k"
>>746904352
iirc it was more due to Toby being an inexperienced programmer. Game Maker is very well suited for games like Undertale.

Yes, Undertale notably launched at 30fps and it took a year for it to be patched to support 60fps instead because GameMaker's retarded engine requires the FPS to be set individually in every room.

Why do people seem to think that the less it resembles RPGM (or an rpg at all), the better an arpgmaker game is?

>>
>>746904508
I know this is kind of a jokey response but it's another reason why Game Maker and other engines documented in English are going to be more well-suited for English-speaking devs wanting to make non-RPGs. If the esoteric knowledge of making these non-RPGs requires Japanese fluency, then for practical purposes, RPG Maker is just not viable for developers that can't read Japanese.
>>
>>746902292
You might as well ask why people like games, there's no set style or gameplay for a game made with RPGMaker. Some are trash, some are good and some appeal to niche markets. It's just an engine.

the best part of rpg maker is everyone gets the same tools and has to make something out of it.
its really fun to go into people's games in dev mode and see how they did stuff, and also edit/translate their games.
i've fixed a bunch of other people's bugs too. its a fun hobby and I hate how people think they need to wait for someone to MTL when you can do the same thing yourself in 2 minutes

also rpg maker u2u has a trailer.

It's video game version of fan-fiction. Everybody can do it, but the downside is that it has fewer quality control aspects. There's probably some gems out there. Buried under mountains of mountains of the vidya equivalent of "I borrowed my dads camera and we're making a movie with my friends".
My original RPG maker plan was to re-tell the Warcraft novels by re-creating the scenes in RPG maker and having actual dialogue from the book. But I eventually realized Warcraft novels aren't exactly bestsellers.

There's novelty intrinsic to deviating from the engine's defaults, but that also tends to correlate with the dev putting more effort into other aspects of the game when it comes to traditional RPGs like Hat World or Enchant Farm.

The easiest and quickest way to test someone's intelligence is to make a generalized statement

Say something like "rpgm games are shit on average" if they say any variation of "but some games are decent" or "this game was made with rpgm, see how good it is" you are dealing with someone genuinely low IQ.

They have proven that they aren't intelligent enough to understand abstract ideas like a statistical average. Why else would they think bringing up an exception like it was some profound statement? They literally CAN NOT understand abstracts, no attempt at rationalizing or explaining yourself will increase their IQ.

And it's true, at least for the ones that you know about, because western devs suck ass and never reached a high skill or knowledge level with any version of the engine, and the Japanese games you KNOW about are the ones translated by a troon whose taste in games is utter dogshit (horror, walking sim, gameplayless trash).
>>
>>746913547
Appealing to generalities is also low IQ. You wanted to prove a point, so you made a general statement, but the person saw right through the generality statement, ignored it, and disproved the point you were trying to make. You would be equally upset if someone asked "Okay, what's your point?"

It's modern numale bitch behavior where you think you can accumulate enough general statements and let them hang to do all your talking. Like a debatebro.

Your post is peak Dunning-Kruger Reddit. You do not understand the underlying concept of the "epic pwns" that you use, you simply regurgitate them because you were told this was "le epic pwn". This is the same issue with the "how would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?" question. (You) have no idea whatsoever what the purpose of this question is, and yet I know for a fact that you're one of the retards who might ask this non sequitur question in an argument on the internet anytime that you find yourself in a losing position but are growing tired of the argument (and maybe you've even realized that you're wrong and stupid, so you're looking for a quick "out" that you think makes you look smart even though, conceptually, you have no clue what you are saying)

Because doing [anything at all] in RPGMaker is legitimately harder than programming in raw assembly and I'm genuinely not joking or exaggerating here even slightly and so people make these kinds of demos to show that this stuff is even possible. In any other engine none of this stuff would be the slightest bit impressive, but RPGM is so god awful and so geared towards making the most half-assed kinds of RPGs that people scramble to do the weirdest shit in it because the install base are impressed by virtually anything that isn't copy pasting shit.

Even for making *good* RPGs, RPGM is terrible at that because it just assumes you're making the most basic bitch level up anime doll movie game possible and don't care about gameplay specifics.

There are definitely parallels between ASM and some of the techniques essential to "programming" customized things in 2k and 2k3 (look at this post >>>/vrpg/4060622 for a good example of things that are almost command-for-command something you'd write in assembly to perform those operations), and any processor worth its salt is specifically equipped to handle processes quickly and efficiently that have immense cost when implemented in 2k and 2k3, but you also get so many freebies in 2k and 2k3 that you would have to build from scratch in ASM on your processor of choice that the comparisons all start and end at
