I was really grateful to be invited to participate in the RPG Maker Festival event. RPG Maker is a big part of the reason I became a game developer; as a kid, it gave me the ability to experiment, create, and learn the basics of development, which I spent countless hours delving into.
Some childhood project highlights being a Kingdom Hearts 1 sequel (which nonetheless focused on Cloud and Sephiroth XD), a Final Fantasy VII Advent Children fan game, a very unfinished Pokemon Gold/Silver remake called Johto Legends, some high school projects (I genuinely managed to submit a video game for a P.E. assignment, which might be one of my proudest accomplishments!), and an "original" work called Paladins vs. Dragoons about star-crossed lovers (taking heavy inspiration from Final Fantasy's jobs haha).
As an adult, RPG Maker has given me a way to tell stories and create the kinds of games I love, despite my very limited programming abilities. It's because of this that I think it exceeds any limitations that it does have. So thank you RPG Maker - and here's to many more years of empowering creators! =D
Stay tuned for more news next week!
