Isn't this literally an RPGmaker game? It can't have been that hard to make.

They're indivually art, but the main focus of a game is not any of those, but gameplay. Any art, music or writing is only there to facilitate the gameplay, which is make what makes it a game in the firstplace.

Also sculpting is art, 3d modelling is not art.

To put it another way, scrolling through an artbook or a collection of works, even a museum is not an art in-of-itself.

Right? Most RPGmaker games are developed by a single guy using only one hand

the joke is that they use the other hand to wind up the crank on their 100 year old machine, because RPG maker runs on any machine, literally

12 hours late, but it's code is such a fricking nightmare that they had to make a custom modded version of rpgmaker for it and it was only made possible because omocat hired one of the people who made that rpgmaker version.

Sounds peculiar :marseyhmm: why not make a custom engine (or use unity) at this point?

I doubt any of them had enough if any experience, the game was originally supposed to be a visual novel.

RPGmaker is variable editor, no code is involved to my knowledge.

Well you can make some pretty good games with it if you put in enough effort and i could certainly see a team making something cool with it. The problem is that their whole team will never make a game better then some 15 year old RPG maker games made by a fat Japanese neurodivergents.

There has never been a good RPGmaker game, just degrees of bad. And more than that it really shouldn't take you more than a year or two to finish it, it's such a simple tool. These guys took 6 years, and I'm wondering on what, because it doesn't look like a 6 years in the oven game.
