Learning RPG Maker 2003 Devlog! (6/11/25)


Yes, you read that correctly. I’m starting to learn RPG Maker 2003! It’s fun so far.

As of right now, I’ve been able to make transitions, make a working chest, an item shop and some sort of inn. I still need to work on stuff like magic and whatnot, but I am making some good progress. ChatGPT has also been incredibly helpful for most of this.

(Unrelated note, today and yesterday made me feel emotional for an idea I’ve had for an achievement.)

I hope to be able to make some pretty good maps and layouts as well. Right now I have a test map for all of these little lessons.

As for animations, I have to figure that out as well. I have access to sheets, it’s just that I have to meticulously plot one pixel at a time. Hopefully I will be able to share some more progress.

In addition, I am also starting an enemy spreadsheet. I know, I know, I should focus on finishing one spreadsheet before the next, but I wanted to start one.

TLDR, I’m learning RPG Maker 2003, can do some stuff right now in the engine, and have done a few more things.

Due to… recent controversies of someone, I might have to change one of the bosses.

However, if the person in particular is innocent, the boss will not be changed.

Here’s what their attacks would do.

Guys I think something’s changed with my Humble Town theme, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

I think I have finished the track! The song is called Curious Beginnings, and I’ll upload it to the music player once I get two or three other tracks out, the place where you pick your characters, the town, and a shop.

How’s the art and visualizer?

Making an overworld map and some funny stuff for a demo in the future. No idea when the demo will come out though.

Decided to do some world building stuff today! Will probably do more in a bit.

Testing out random variables and events with conditional flags!

Woah? Some gameplay for Fox Fighters?

Currently it’s just a bit of a walking simulator (and a short one at that) but I hope to eventually change that :P

Also, on another note… might redo the main theme. I just… don’t really like it now.

The first inn is done! Mostly. Probably needs a track and some more stuff, but that’s done. Now I gotta do… everything else in the first town.

I also realized that if I’m bored, I can add random stuff because why not! As you might see.

Key item tune! Waiting on composing a song fit for royalty first before uploading this track. There will be castles in the game, and of course monarchs.
