Hey, I wasn't very active here the 1st time around, but I figured why not.

I've been active in thet RPGMaker community on and off since RPGMaker 95 was first translated. I've started nearly 20 projects on 95, 2k, 2k3, XP, VX, and SimRPG95 over the last decade or so but only ever finished one game. That was Dungeon Dwellers in 2004 for RM2k3.

I spend most of my time now on blogtv while playing various games on emulators. I got back into SimRPGMaker95 recently but I've slipped right back out of it due to the limitations. I'd really love to do something with that other tactical rpg editor program but as far as I've seen it doesn't work with Vista so bascially I am just here now to post in the forums on a semi random basis.

In that case, here's to hoping you stay around more often. Sim RPG Maker 95 was a pretty good tactical RPG creator; I had a project a few years back, but unfortunately lost interest after doing the first 2 or 3 battle scenes. I am not really that great when it comes to storyline, but I love working around maps and strategies.

Welcome back!

Unfortunately, compared to today's standards and newer maker programs like RPG Maker XP and above, SRPG95 shows its age. Though, for a maker that's 14 years old, your still able to pull off some pretty impressive games. I've got a few Japanese ones that I think are pretty good that I'd like to translate for the English community, hopefully it's something I can get done this summer.

In regards to Tactical RPG Editor, Megaman has found a way to get it to work on Vista and newer OS, hopefully he releases an updated version soon.

I'm in pretty much the same boat, though I was introduced to RM2k and SRPG95 around the same time like 12 years ago. Dozens of half-baked projects, and only one finished one - "finished" in the sense that you can play it from start to end, but no guarantees that it will always work or that it's even an enjoyable experiece, heh. RM2k was a dream come true for me and I dabbled in every version as they came out, but RPG Maker VX Ace has reinvigorated my enthusiasm and interest. If I ever get off my ass and pick back up on real programming, one of the things I'd like to do is make a simple freeware turn-based strategy game engine, but that's still a long ways off in terms of my programming abilities.
