Will Gamingw ever be getting an RPG Maker Game Database (like it had as it's main theme not just 3 years ago)?

RPG Maker games are alive and well, they just need the right kind of place to promote their stuff. Unless RPGmaker.net has basically taken over as the new Gamingw and Gamingw is now dedicated only to indie games (as in re-makes of bejeweled, pong, and pinball).

I do not understand why you would want a database specifically made up of RPG Maker games. Especially after saying that one already exists.

I think you kind of tripped yourself up there.

there used to be a website called rpgmaker database. then it died. it had a pretty small community that's moved on to the alastrian lampoons and nobody really gives a rat's ass about rpgmaker there. maybe it's a symbolic representation of actual rpgmaker game databases???????

Awww come on, you mean you don't want to hear about the bejeweled clones for the iphone? I think people have made it clear there will be no attempt to make an rm game database. According to the people that don't make rpg maker games anymore, nobody makes rpgmaker games.

RPG Maker is dead. Move on. Sorry, but I understand the pain.

www.rpgmaker.net

this is established. There is no reason for GW to attempt this when it is already done.

fuck i didn't even realize that at first, seriously DO FUCK YOU.

indie games have never been so diverse and interesting, unlike rpgmaker games where the vast majority of them are just LEGEND OF JRPGS CHAPTER 1: REVENGE OF SECRET OF MANA RIPS

do you even read the mainpage? fuck i usually don't but i still know from when i have that the games put up there are really impressive. on the other hand i also read the gamemaking forums and have not seen rpgmaker games posted here that i could say the same about. rpgmaker games are almost always awful and the few good ones do not make up for the number of ones that are so bad. after all, "Just look at this board :\"

The old gw forums were rpg maker centered and they no longer are, and now the forums have indiegames they feel watered down. Fuck indie games, there are a ton of other gamedev and indie sites. Try acidplay for example, tons of freeware indie games (www.acid-play.com).

GW is half the site it used to be, but thats the way it is, so it's either deal with it or go somewhere else.

That's the same with indie games and indie movies, but I would say that the good ones completely make up for the bad ones.

There are a lot of indie games which are just platformer with weird gimmick that tells you how to finish the game, I think james_the_composer mistook them for casual games which are mostly clones of bejeweled and are also indie games because the creators didn't receive any extra funding from a big corporation

Why are there so few speciality shops for bikes with permanent training wheels? I am enraged!

These are the greatest bikes of our times.

I still believe that most would agree that there are some solid rpg maker games out there, and they are still in development and being released right now. It's personal creative self-expression. Like writing a story. It's artwork. Rm2k3 was only 6 years ago and can tell some pretty good stories.

Bejeweled remakes I would think are hardly close to creative self-expression.

I haven't seen bejeweled remakes since like forever but I do know that indie games today are amazing, I mean look at Machinarium or Cube Colossus <_<; You must be just looking at the wrong places, have you tried tigsource or gamejolt? Anyway, Rpgmaker.net has a wide database of rpgmaker games and it's constantly getting updated so your best bet is over there.

tbh i have NVER seen a bejewelled remake, and you don't know the difference between casual games and indie games. your really treading on shit you dont know anything about so i don't even know why you brought it up.

rpg maker is just getting more and more out of date, if you want to tell a story, write a book. different engines (like game maker and MMF) are the main choices for creating games nowadays and I see no reason why not. every new version of these programs brings new features that keep it (relatively) up to date, without the need to shell out $1500 for Unity Pro or something. Everey new version of RPG maker (if there will ever be another) just updates the resolution. whoopdeedoo.

next time you are about to bash on something you know nothing about, THINK TWICE.
