The RPGMaker Thread

Anyone work on RPGMaker at all (any version)? Thought I'd make a thread where we can discuss ideas, trade scripts, or ask for help/advice. Working with VX Ace here, but I've used all past versions. I had a 20 minute snippet of game on XP, but all that got deleted in a hard drive crash, and had to start over... I'd also love to start a Yume Nikki styled horror game, but you gotta be the Total Package for those: sprite artist, musician, and programmer :(

I can't say I'm much good either though. My games end up like visual novels with random encounters (all that writing's gotta make up for the lack of programming). I do know that feel though. Always have wanted to make an actual visual novel, but getting someone to co-partner and do the artwork is tough.

I've toyed around with RPGmaker VX cant remember which version it was but managed to create a megaman fanfic JRPG with a playtime of 7 hours, the project took me 4 months of daily effort of about 2-4 hours. 75% of this time was spent ripping and adjusting sprites from megaman 1-8, x1-x5, and battlenetwork 1-6. so graphics are definately not my strong suit, i cant do RUBY either, i used the program just like one would use the Starcraft map editor. then again im no programmer or even modder, I'm a balancer and QC'r so if you need help with Adjusting mechanics, difficulty and such, I'd be more than willing to lend a hand, I am already doing a bit of QC for another RPGM user.
