My first RPG maker 2003 experience, What the hell XP!!!!!! Options

[Lato]

Ok now anyone here that knows me knows that i'm a hardcore fan of XP, but feeling a bit bored I decided to try out 2003 once I FINALLY found download link. First off what the hell! RPG maker 2003 is AMAZING! I just used it for like 10 min did 1 battle and was so mad at myself for all those years and money I spent on XP!

Where to begin, the battle system really blew me away like crazy, the default you actually get to SEE you char! And they in such a cool anime/3D style! And there is like words with the status effects and real time is already built in?! IT comes with a world map too!

Why the hell did they make XP but not bring over all these bad ass options, we all had to wait for ppl to script them and thats just a pain. I already started editing new char and its just like doing icons cause they so small I love it! so much simpler then trying to work with xp sprites.

That being said im switching my time now to 2003, ill still be working with xp but only when I get bored.

PS. And they have face graphics!!! Grr I wanna kick the ppl that made XP in the balls now!

Great to see you enjoyed Rm2k3.
Personally, I love 2003 for those reason stated above. The only reason why I chose to move away from it is because of the little resources it had. Sure, I can always get some but not all resources that people provide match everyone else. So either I make a game that clashes with characters that clash with each other, rip off some game, or make resources. I decided to leave....

Kinda miss having my old project now

I would say XP has that same problem only much worse! With all these "style" battlers there is way to much clashing in the games ppl make. 2003 is so basic in the char sprites thats its easy to make your own ppl, I just spend maybe 5 min to edit a char in 2003 when it would hve taken about 20 min to do in XP!

I got this weird happy/mad feeling going on! The lack of resources just mean that when I make them they will be even more cool and rare lol. With everything to old school pixel like I think I could even do a world map set with ease. Ive gotten some really cool ideas again, its like im a kid again lol.
