Hello, RM Community!

Hello, 

I've been admiring RPG Maker for many years. I decided to put forth some effort, start reading up on material, and move forward, from square one. All along the way, there are constant messages and tags saying how active and helpful the community is, so it seemed like a no brainer to sign up and dive in. 

From a couple posts, there were strong recommendations to follow along with a tutorial, building the game identically. Is this the general consensus? I don't have an interest in making commercial games, it's specifically intended for a family member who is (to make it brief) socially withdrawn. She is the reason, growing up, I played fun RPG's like Lunar, Lufia, Zelda's, and countless others, helping 10 yr old me grind out levels. She was always a great mom. Anyways, I'd love to be able to give her a custom gift (or gift mini series :) if I can wrap my head around it.) I'd assume, over the next years. I would think (and have read) that this is a labor of love, but still labor in it's own right. 

Ha, first day around, and I'm already rambling. 

Thanks,

That's really touching. Welcome!

That's really sweet of you! I hope you learn a bunch through joining this community, and have a great time!

I've never done that myself, but I think using a tutorial to build a game from would be very helpful indeed!

Thanks, for the warm welcome!

Welcome to the group! ^_^

Welcome to the hub. Try to enjoy yourself, will you?

Welcome :)

What a lovely idea!

If you have any questions in using events feel free to message me.

Thank you, everyone, for the warm welcome! I've started the basic framework of my world map (after reading some tutorials on importing DLC,) and I'm loving the ability to customize every detail! The map is kind of standard, but I'm having fun so far. Not positive how to post the image on here...

Nice to meet you Levi! That's one of the best motivations for wanting to learn a new skill I've heard. I hope you have  a lot of fun here. 

You got a lovely intro right there and welcome to the family.
