So I'm thinking about doing a small side project, and combining platformer game play with RPG-style elements such as story progression, possibly quests, and character development.
I was thinking of using RMXP to do the project, for two reasons. One, I know the system, and feel too lazy at the moment to learn a new one. Two, I was thinking I could possibly use Blizz-ABS or some other ABS for real-time battles on the map.
I've never tried making a platformer with RMXP, but I've heard of it being done before. Any ideas?
While the idea is good, and has been done successfully in the past (see Super Paper Mario), RMXP is not the engine to do it in.
I was going to use GM, but I'm running windows in a virtual machine, and game maker's past i think 6.1 won't run in any VM software.
What about using Stencyl? I'm fairly sure I seen an RPG platformer kit posted on the forums, if it's any good, most of the work for the gameplay will be done, though I haven't really looked at it yet.
