Rpg Maker Developers Group

I finally, finally got inspiration to actually continue my RPG Maker 2k3 ventures after two years of faffing about with things, and I'm getting things DONE. I got a title screen and various other doohickeys here and there, and although I didn't want to reveal too much right now, I had some more general ideas for this here I wanted opinions on.

Only two big ones right now, which are for the text boxes having full portraits rather than small photos representing them.
The small ones are still going to be used for the menus, but likely not for actual conversation.

<- actual character design, woah.

The other one I wanted to share was this shop idea I had. It's not top-tier by any standard, but having the plain 2k3 menus for everything would be boring as heck, so I wanted my own spin on a few things. I'll still use the default menus for some things (as mentioned above) but having some new menus manually created like this would probably help it stick out a smidge.

Because of where the money window appears (top right for me... huh), I may need to swap where the shop-keep and the purchase options are when it comes time to actually create it.



The other thing I wanted to ask is if there's was a decent way or place to ask people for help, because although I can do everything myself (solo dev moment), my main issue will be keeping myself in check to actually keep working on things. I'd probably get distracted again and then proceed to mess about for another year or two and I really don't want to do that...

Oh yeah, and I only have default 2k3. I don't know how patching works whatsoever so if you're going to suggest something, just keep that in mind, please.
