I just discovered RPG Maker - Let's Make And Play Tokimeki Apocalypse!

Two months ago, Protag-chan made the worst choice of her life.

She didn't date anyone, and was left alone by the end of her third year in Habataki Academy.

This led to the cataclysmic event that many call the Tokimeki Apocalypse. The world raged so hard at Protag-chan's lack of a boyfriend that it literally destroyed itself, leaving few alive and making Habataki City the center of a post-apocalyptic world. Faced with certain annihilation at the hands of the League of Evil Rivals led by Arisawa, Mizuki and Fujii, Protag-chan must lead the men who were once her potential boyfriends to a better life - and beyond.

Is all truly fair in love and war?

Hello, everyone! Randomletters here with another one of my crazy...things. I have RPG Maker VX Ace, you see, and I was messing around with the character creator when I realized the guy I was making looked exactly like Amanohashi. Thus, this idea was born. Someday it will be an actual game, but for now we can only talk to Sakuya, Amanohashi and Mihara, who I remade with the Character Generation Tool.

I know it's incredibly random, but that's what's fun, isn't it?

It happened two months ago, but it feels like it's been forever.

The beautiful Habataki City, once my home, Tsukushi's home - has been destroyed. There is no trace of people ever having lived here, and there are only a few survivors of the apocalyptic event known as the Tokimeki Apocalypse.

When all kokoros were shattered, when I failed to romance one of the boys even slightly, the world fell apart in grief, and now we only exist to pick up the pieces.

I quickly met up with a group of familliar people. The rest of the world's dead, as far as I know. Even Tsukushi.

Tsukushi...



I shake my head as I look out over the sea of lava that was once the beach I'd gone on so many failed dates to, and I try not to cry. I have to be strong for the people still alive. They expect me to lead them.

Sakuya-kun.

Principal Amanohashi.

Mihara-kun.

Life feels like a prison when you're alone like this.

All I can do for now is talk to them to pass the time. What little time is left, anyway.

My mouth feels dry and my feet grow heavy as I plod over to Sakuya. He sees me approach, and smiles a bit.



He's obviously lost it, but I try to humor him.



There were no flowers in Habataki City. Not anymore. Not after the Tokimeki Apocalypse.



Sakuya-kun...still using flowers to convey his feelings.



I put on my best fake smile.



I can't help but interrupt him when I hear him say this. If me not being loved caused this to happen, maybe his feelings for me could reverse the Tokimeki Apocalypse!



But alas. He interrupts me as well.



I should have known.

OKAY HOLD ON
EXPLAIN RPG MAKER TO ME PLEASE

did you like
pick those guys that look like the people or did you make them or
i have seen it at gamestop but i don't know what it is

Never fear, citizen, for I have the answer! RPG Maker VX Ace has a built-in sprite and character portrait maker. You can also import your own sprite and character art.

/screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech guess what i am gonna go play right the fuck now
once i have made Melinda the pokemon monster ranch master i mean

RPG Maker VX Ace allows me to make my own characters with a generator, pretty much, although you can always draw sprites and portraits the good old-fashioned way. I just use the character generator because it's faster and it automatically makes sprites and portraits at the same time.

It's a pretty cool little piece of software. The defaults aren't too much, but there are a lot of art and scripting resources out there so that even people who aren't exactly talented at writing code or drawing art can enjoy tinkering with making an RPG.

My new OTP is officially SakuyaxFlowers. Yep. Gonna ship it right now. Gonna- *sniff*- do it. *sobs and runs into corner* WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME SAKUYA?!

This makes me question myself. Did I ever truly have a chance at Sakuya, or were flowers his true love all along?



And now he's stating a well-known fact. Of course, this is Sakuya - he knows almost all there is to know, but he's still socially awkward and has a strange fascination with bombs.



I try to make my apology sound as indifferent as possible, but inwardly, I'm very close to crying.



Sakuya isn't sane anymore.

i just realized
i can make a BF LP FORUM RPG HOLY FUCK GUYS I AM HAVING IDEAAAASSSSSSS

SO UH..........................




also BF is now a high-looking chick with a flower in her hair

I just HAD to log back on when I saw this topic full of WIN and give you ALL my likes!

"Elyscape is the overseer of the Forum World.
He's kind of a butt, but pretty awesome otherwise."

this is the greatest i am never leaving.

You should upload the files when you're done. This is too awesome not to share.

gurl you know i will
i'm trying to figure out how to get music playing on the map 24/7 and also how to make another map because this is a TINY AMOUNT OF SPACE OKAY

It should be under map properties. You can make a new map there as well.

I saw Tokimeki so of course I clicked. Looks interesting~

That sprite is really a dead foreshadowing...!? ringer for Sakuya

You know what is hard as fuck
GETTING SOMEONE TO ENTER A TOWN.
I have the stepping on the event in and the fadeout in
but it won't...fade....back in....hhhh

excuse me but i think i might be a master at this shit mmmhmm

Where is apocalypse Himuro? Because I want to romance the holy hell out of him.

Oh nun-chucks I LOVE post-apocalyptic scenarios.
I blame playing Fallout while still in my formative years.

This was the best I could do with the character generator:

No glasses? But other than that it's not bad. ;D

There aren't any glasses other than the ones I made Sakuya wear. I can however give him goggles or an eyepatch.

Ha! Apocalypse Himuro in an eyepatch is kind of a funny idea.

Seconded.

If there is some kind of crazy anime scar he also needs that.

HEY PEOPLE THAT HAVE RPGMAKER ACE SUPERNOVA TWENTY TWELVE ALPHA
