My (terrible) business idea.

Might as well begin in building your own wind turbines to not waste energy.

now theres probably a lot of other shit that goes into rpgs that i dont know about since i dont like them, like at all

RPGs are awesome. Those raised on Open World, FPS, and loose story games (ones where the story is not of concern, like BOTW) are the ones I feel sad for. I was raised on Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and platformers.

Good luck. RPG is one of the most time consuming games to create due to the advanced mechanics, large game world and huge amounts of text/story. People trying to make this stuff for free, or without a team of skilled employees, don't realize how much work it actually is.

The problem is not really about the amount of work or the sheer difficulty of making *good* RPGs.

There is a single resource you have a finite amount of without a realistic way of gaining more of it: Time.

Seeing your profile says you're 14, you have around 4-6years, you still have the freedom of being able to spend school time on your projects (I know I know, school debate towards and against it, yeah yeah, asd asd).

But once you're out of school, your options become quite limited:

• get a work - basically everyone does this, but there is a limit on how much you're allowed to live depending on how much time and effort you can sink into it - not even talking about not being able to find a worthy job -
• be a freelancer - you must be doing something really worthwhile for clients to commission you, although it can be almost as risky as being a youtuber if what you're offering is not in high enough demand
• live with your parents - sadly this is not possible in most cases, and there is a high chance you'll outlive them, so it's not a long-term solution

Considering you're just 14 (if it's correct), I have omitted some options for the sake of your sanity.


But yeah, all this wall of text above is just so I could tell that once you're out of school, you won't be able to dedicate enough time to the project, unless you find a way to get the basic necessities and resources to stay alive and be able to work on the project.

The reason people say "oh, you don't wish to become adult" is not because they oh-so-fucking liked school, but because they were able to "waste" their time on what they wanted to do while still getting food and shelter. I would never in my life would go back to ANY school. I'm much better at learning things myself than having to WASTE months (and a lot of money!) on shitty schools when I could learn the same amount in 1-2weeks on my own in a very fun way in a way where I'll remember it for a life, not just for a few days after school ends.


tl;dr: you don't have enough time to make what you want to that level of quality, and our old beloved games are fucked by both big corp (by being "greedy"), and society (for allowing them to be greedy and exploitative)

@The Real Jdbye I can always cut corners and use RPG MAKER MZ. I do understand the intricacies of making a game. I've done a crap ton of research on this sort of stuff (even though my age plays a huge factor in believability)

@Sono Yes, I am 14. I completely realize how much time it'll take by myself, but everyone can dream right? I have a few people I can call it so it wouldn't be by myself if I didn't want to. I come from a long line of nerds and have a good amount of connections. After school (and a two year hiatus) it'll become a hobby project if I'm still working at that point.

NOTE: An RPG is the ultimatum. I want to make one at some point that doesn't suck crap or look generic. I have everything planned out for when I do. I can always work on smaller free games (once again, diverting away from the trifecta) until I have the experience to make one. This is a life goal, not something to do immediately.

RPG Maker takes care of the engine, you still need to create unique characters and a story, a large game world, unique skills/spells and enemies and bosses and all of the other things a RPG should have. It doesn't save you as much time/effort as you might think.

When I already have unique characters, a storyline, and a preplanned world, it should be a breeze. I’ve been planning a storyline since I was 10.

you have a good heart, and there needs to be more people like you in the world. but there needs to be at least some way to make a profit, even if it's a small one.

@1B51004 Thanks mate!

You want a good mobile game, eh? Get an APK for Cordy 2, or get Super Cat Tales off the playstore.

@WG481 You have an idea, turning that idea into something tangible is the hard part.

@The Real Jdbye Believe me, I will try my dang hardest.

Well, better learn how to code in Swift for the apple market, and in (java? python? idrk) for us androids.

UPDATES: Have not given up.
