Rpg Maker Games... What a nice hobby, or profession?

The first time i entered in the Rpg Maker world was at the age of 13, in a cyber-cafe, looking for roms to download minding my own business, and suddenly i saw it.

"¿You want to create your own rpg game? CLICK HERE!!!"

And i was like "Dude!!!!WTF?!! hell yeah ill click there!", i used to play a lot of rpgs, i remember i played Lufia and fortress of Doom in that week, and after that experience, i definitely wanted to make my own game.

But how?!, what kinda of stuff do i need to became a game maker?, first of all i didn't know shit about programming, and second, what the hell was programming?!, all i known about it, its that it has to do something with commands, numbers and superbrains dudes.

But then i found the answer, so i follow the link in that page and sent me to some site which i don't remember, and i maybe it doesn't exist anymore, all the same, it has a lot of info about that, music files, charactersets... "¿charactersets?? whats is that??" i asked myself, chipsets, and a lot of utilities such as...

The Rpg Maker...

Thats it!!!!!!!, i was really excited about it was like a dream to come true, a dream that i fabricated about 2 days ago, and suddenly it was already done. I remember that i told to the owner of the cafe, to download the files for me, and it took a full week!! a full fucking week??!!, what the hell was wrong in those days, the internet was really slow, but hey i got the program along with some other stuff that has the "maker" word on it.

This was the first set of programs i can remember that make my first travel of RPG land, and it was awesome, a bunch of friends of mine, came to my house and saw the shit i was working on, and i showed to 'em. They were amazed about it, just to see their names on the screen moving, and doing stuff was really great, and come to think off it was really funny to remember that.

Anyway i just wanted to write something about this because it was really important to me this RPG Maker phase that it seems it will never end.

Cheers and ill see you guys later!!
