Has anyone ever played with this ?: http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/product/ig-maker

I was just curious. I would to try the trail but only looks like its avalible for PC (I got Macs but I think my wife has a PC laptop somewhere).

I would love to make a short Super Mario World type side scroller game based Paul Bunyan, Big Blue the ox, and Minnesota... It doesn't have to be super super amazing or long, I just want to see if I can do it.
 
I personally use Yoyogames' GameMaker for that kind of thing, but it's unintuitive to figure out and takes hours just to make a simple platforming engine. Perhaps I'll try this out as well.
 
This might be a fun cab art project? Look me up when you need Side/bezel/marquee art.


Oh, I just noticed this was post 1000 for me!
 
Having trouble accessing the yoyo games account (The Website wouldn't accept the code that they emailed me). I emailed them and hope to tool around with it tomorrow.

I want Paul Bunyan to ride big blue like how mario rides yoshi!
I want Paul Bunyan to throw axes at killer trees, rabid loons, and killer Walleye Pike!
I want Paul Bunyan to eat juicy lucys and drink beer for powerups!

That's actually been my issue too, I purchased a serial code for the old version and it's not working and their help desk has never gotten back to me. :| Let me know if you need any help in GM, I've been using one version or another for about six years now and I know about everything it can do without using coding.
 
Sounds like a cool idea, but I think the Ox you are looking for is Babe the Blue Ox.

Is there a grid sprite maker for GM or do I have to photoshop drawings and transfer them to GM?

Make a new sprite (pac man icon), click Edit Sprite, do File->New, enter the dimensions you want, double click on the image and then click the grid icon at the top right of the window (looks like a Sudoku puzzle). Now if you zoom in the grid should show up.
 
Sent them another email to fix my activation key code. I really can't wait to work with this program. I saw there's already mario world type games on their forum. I'm hoping to download a basic mario sprites and redraw them to what I need... just to make my life alittle easier and spend more time with details then 4 frame animation.

make the warp map look like Minnesota. with pipes, lakes, and huge log cabins... with the levels to look like forest and major cities (Duluth, St.Paul, Minneapolis) and landmarks (Spam Museum, Biggest ball of twine, Matts Bar, Grain Belt sign). Thinking of villains and bosses... Jack Frost? Spam Monster? Giant Walleye?
 
No reply for me either. I resent my question and everything. "Within 24 hours"? More like "within 24 years."

You should throw in some Fargo stuff too like the kidnapping and the woodchipper!
