one of reasons for hating Newbies(like myself) our games suck. But I still need a few pointers on making those really cool houses that take multiple maptiles. Does that take just a lot of precision or is there some trick I don't know about?

The trick is to not post tons of worthless messages on the boards like this. You're spamming like crazy.

Actually, not to be mean er anything, but Hunter is right, Battle.

Don't worry about your games and whether or not they'll stink or not, `cause it's a part of becoming a game maker that your first several projects won't be that hot; it's all about the learning experience.

The best thing for you to do if you want to know about things that other people pull off in their OHR games is to either study their form, or PM them and ask them how they did some things. Granted, not everyone will be willing to share their secrets, but if you keep posting like this, you're eventually gonna get nailed hard. Just letting you know.

Congratulations. You are now one of the dumbest people I know.

blaze... honestly, you do need to stop spamming the boards...
and if you've been following the helpme board at anytime, you should know that you should not worry about things like this to much and follow what setu says.

I think you need to relax battle, practice makes perfect... or at least experience makes the master as the say in Germany. Anyway I don't think you should be so concerned about the games you make... at the very worst you could learn from your mistakes.

Step 1: Make horribly sprited newbie game. Finish it. Beginning to end. Don't just drop it, make it actually able to be beat. Aim for 2-3 hours of playtime.

Step 2: Make another newbie game, except try to use plotscripting if possible, and try to do well at least on your walkabouts, hero graphics, and some weapon attack graphics. Finish this game as well, from beginning to end. Make sure it can be beat as well, without dropping it for another game. Try to make it about 5 hours long, if possible.

Step 3: Screw over making your own maptiles and enemygraphics. Rip. Do all your own hero graphics, attack animations, weapon graphics, walkabouts, and go heavily on the plotscripting if possible. Aim for a good 12-15 hours of playtime, and be sure this game is beatable as well. Add multiple subquests, puzzles, etc.

Step 4: Remake a famous RPG on the NES, Genesis, or an obscure japanese console. Go for a professional look to everything, with your own walkabouts, heroes, attacks, etc, but do the same as the last game and rip enemies and maptiles. Finish this game.

Step 5: Do a whole bunch of smaller games and hire out your walkabout skills to other OHRers. Do plenty of enemy graphics, since now you'll be good at them. Your maptiles mysteriously will have improved as well.

Then you shall be as good as I am.

That and almost nobody is willing to play a single OHR game for 15 hours. And it's no more repeditive than Secret of Mana. Spend an hour just to BARELY afford the next weapon/armor upgrade, and lo and behold there's better stuff in the next town. Since it's a game literally BURSTING with cliches, having to actually level up seemed appropriate. Or you could go due east of the first town and kill pandas in the forest. Yes, pandas. Big ones. With microphones.

Though all that levelbusting is good for you. Too bad you don't actually get any HP per leveling up. But yes, make your gameplay the core focus of an OHR game. Though if it looks like crap, it'll probably play like crap, which has been my experience for a long time.

"That and almost nobody is willing to play a single OHR game for 15 hours. "

objection: wingedmene is just about exactly 15 hours long, and it's only 25% finished. and from its position (current and previous) in the top 30s, i think people are playing it.
