RPG Maker Games

[Manibrandr System]

Making this topic since Jason's game in progress brought the attention of RPG Maker to TE. So let's talk about them, which ones we enjoy, etc.

I have been scouting youtube for RPG Maker videos, and I have come across some good ones, some bad ones, and some that are so bad that they are hilarious. First, the good :

Wings of Eternia - Kopo14 has been working on this cool evented battle system for his RPG that uses D-pad input to do moves and attacks. A demo of the game has been released, it's worth a try-out.

Agaroth Story - An awesome system, too bad it's in Spanish. Some of you might want to try it out regardless.

Untitled Action Adventure Game - This looked very promising, but the author has fallen into the wayside recently.

Sacred Earth Bonds 2 - Another interesting RPG in progress with several custom systems in place.

Of course, off of Youtube, there's U.S.G. ~A New Beginning~, the RMXP Schmup and Balmung Cycle Part 1 : The Messenger and the Heretic, which I have been playing recently. Balmung Cycle is lots of fun so far, with an interesting story and a great combat system, involving Divine Benefits, Hyper Moves and Adrenaline. I highly recommend it.

As for the bad, well....let Drakiyth tell you about it. Some of these are really, fucking hilarious.

I wish my friends would start designing again. They had some great ideas. My friend Jacob Olnick was working on a game called Yuletide Apocalypse, about Santa Claus going insane and creating an army to destroy the world. You played a young boy out for revenge for the massacre of his family.

I based a mission in TE:A off of that game as a nod to him.

The Lakebed Facility was also a dungeon in recstudios game The American Gentlemen: Battle of the Bands (which now looks like it won't get finished either).


As for professional games, KnightBlade was one of my personal favorites, and way back on the PSOne RPG Maker, the built-in game Gobli was awesome.

Unterwegs in Düsterburg - the german game I'm always talking about. can easily be compared to the big SNES-hits like SoM, SoE, Lufia...

I played Legion 1 to 3... Bobs big adventure, Final Fallacy, Epoch, A blurred line 2.1 and many other in the rm2k/3 era.

I miss those days
