Hello everybody. I picked up rpg maker xp and 2003 from the steam store for £3 (yeah they're really cheap right now, get on that if you haven't) and am looking to make a game for the film 'man on a ledge' by leonardo di bonaventura in january 2012

HOWUUUUU!!!! ( Translation from Lycan: Me saying, Howdy! )

RPGMaker 2000 and 2003 were always entertaining engines, and should be good for learning how to really handle event systems. Working on a film-based fangame? Novel idea, working on a crime thriller game. Most everyone goes fantasy or steampunk. Would love to see how that goes.

Do you have any talents in RMing, or talents in music, writing or art prior?

I have no idea what RMing stands for (unless it stands for remake, in which case no). I used to use Warioware DIY a bit back when it came out if that counts as art and music experience, and I'm mostly going to follow the films plot except for making changes that convenience the engine, or my artistic ability. I'm no good at art at all, but I certainly hope I get better over the next few months and a lot of the music will be borrowed from the films soundtrack (already going to use "standoff on the roof" for the final boss song and "the roosevelt hotel" for the menu themes, they fit surprisingly well).

Anyway, RPG maker XP really is interesting, I was surprised when I saw the scripts are written in ruby of all languages, I didn't even know ruby dated back to 2005! The layer system seems like a really good idea too.

Ruby scripting language dates back to 1995 actually, it's 22 years old to be honest.

So those songs fit well in such circumstances, why ain't I surprised?

Edit

Ruby is a bit older than I first expected...
