GREETINGS EVERYONE!
This thread is about a tutorial game named "EVENTS".
I made it for people who would like to play a video game that can teach them almost everything on RPG Maker VX Ace in about 4 to 5 hours. I say "almost everything" because
scripting and
parallax mapping and
shift mapping are the three things, I did
NOT included, because I had only one month to finish the project.
- IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT, YOU MUST FIRST DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL RPG MAKER VX ACE RTP. YOU CAN FIND IT BY CLICKINGHERE!
- CLICK ME TO GET EVENTS!
BEFORE DOWNLOADING IT: Keep in mind that some browsers classsify exe files without any digital signature as malicious. Guess what! RPG Maker games don't have any digital signature, thus some browsers might detect them as malware. To my knowledge, this is a false positive, but just to make sure, after downloading it, scan it with an anti virus, just to be sure.
The story behind the project:
SpoilerI once was active mostly on Steam community. And that's how things got started. On discount periods, all the community users, were receiving a load of questions in the Steam forum, that were actually questions already answered many times, that were repeated again and again. Most of the people don't search for just a "fast" and "simple" quetion. People don't even use google. Others, take a look at big text tutorials and say TLDR.. Many people hate reading whatsoever. And Video tutorials, sometimes take forever to finish. It seems that patience is a merit missing today from the majority of people, I blame technology for that, but that's how things are.
Thus a community should enhance and evolve in order to satisfy its members needs, in better and faster ways. I don't really care much why people do something. I watch them doing it. And I sit down and think about what I can do to help them. So I came up with an idea of a real tutorial game for RPG Maker VX Ace. So I decided to take it slow... and slow... and never started.
Then a contest with a deadline came up. The game was my submission on the first Indie Game Making Contest. I wasn't going for the money, I was focused on making something other people would like. That's why it is also FOR FREE.
(It is also for free because it is full of typos and bugs and because it sucks but whatever...)
Contest result:
Spoiler
They found it solid as a tutorial,but it needed more work as a game.
Finished 108th/750.

How to make a Timer work properly:
Events covers all basics.
Timer though, is a little tricky, even for me. I had to understand what was going on with the program to build it right, so here is the solution.Thanks goes to
@Andar for that solution:

IT SEEMS I CAN'T DO SOMETHING USING EVENTS. OR MAYBE USING EVENTS WILL BE TOO MUCH WORK TO DO. IS THERE ANOTHER WAY?
Yes. Scripts. Some general scripts are given for free by Yanfly, Yami, Galv and Fomar. If you need a script that will do CERTAIN stuff, not so common, for your own game only, you can always hire a coder to make this for you for a reasonable price. I am not sure if they accept requests at the moment but I know one who does and he is also a fantatic person. I personally consider him trustworthy, so his nickname is
CP also known as
NeonBlack. You can find a link to his workshop inside my signature.
