Kinds of Games You Can Make With RPG MAKER WITH
Though it looks simple on the surface, RPG MAKER WITH can be a robust tool for not only making traditional RPG games but exploring other genres. Its comprehensive tools and features, primarily its "Events" system, allow users to implement gameplay mechanics and storytelling techniques that are outside the usual boundaries of role-playing.
For example, you can make mystery games that emphasize character interaction and investigating the environment, or horror games where your protagonists are no match against a scary monster and have to evade it rather than fight it head-on. With how it simplifies game development, both beginners and experienced game makers can use RPG MAKER WITH to experiment with making different game genres even without the use of mods or "plug-ins."
Action RPGs
Action RPGs or ARPGs are a well-known genre. The classic Zelda games are quite famous for being ARPGs, as they offer a mix of real-time combat and puzzle-solving. You can also make a game with real-time combat in RPG MAKER WITH, though you will need a good amount of event scripting to get on-map attacks to work.
One of the examples of this in RPG MAKER WITH is one of the user-made games "Cleanse Lord."
How to Make a Boss Dungeon and Traps
Horror
You can also create horror games in RPG MAKER WITH. Though you can include battles in this type of game, you will primarily rely on strong storytelling elements and an eerie atmosphere.
One notable example of a horror game created with RPG MAKER is "The Witch's House" by Fummy, where the protagonist must solve various puzzles to win the game while surviving against horrific creatures. Or Ao Oni, where a huge monster called an Oni chases your player character around the map.
For your own horror game, you can make one similar to our examples above, especially the version where an all-powerful enemy chases you on the map. You can trigger a death scene once the enemy touches you with the "Event Touch" trigger while scripting events (like how Traps get triggered if the player character touches them).
How to Make Different Kinds of Monster Encounters
Mystery
You can also create mystery games in RPG MAKER WITH. The strong point of this genre is instead of relying on the action, you instead create puzzles that your players will have to solve in order to progress the story.
An example of a popular mystery game made with RPG MAKER is To the Moon, developed by Freebird Games. In this game, you control two doctors to reconstruct a dying man's memory. There is no battle, party, or inventory system in this game. Instead, the doctors have to rely on their wits to solve puzzles and find the man's lost memories.
If you want to test players' problem-solving skills, creating a mystery game is right up your alley.
Game Prototype
If you are unsure about what type of game to create, RPG MAKER WITH can help you flesh out your gaming ideas. With how fast and easy you can develop games in RPG MAKER WITH, you can use the program to determine what works best with your idea.
Would it be better to use turn-based battles like in classic RPGs, or real-time combat like in ARPGs? Would it be better to remove battles altogether and focus on puzzle-solving and character interaction? Prototyping your game on RPG MAKER WITH could help you flesh out your game concept further before bringing it on to another game engine (or continuing with RPG MAKER), saving you time down the line.
