The man doesn't know when to use a loving apostrophe and he plans to make his own game with other people's money. If he can get money using this site, I guess anyone can.

The Arkh Project honestly makes me feel really loving dirty thinking about it because of how horrible of a person its creator is. Not only is the thing itself a scam, but the impression I've been getting is that if you aren't a transgendered person of color (and only specific ethnicities at that) who acts a specific way, the creator of Arkh Project actively hates you and hopes you die a horrible, painful death. He is an incredibly lovely and hateful person and likely a thief on top of that.

Hey, I'm all for people funding RPG Maker games. There are some games made in RPG Maker that are legitimately good videogames and I always felt bad not paying for them.

The main problem they suffer from is not having a person to do art assets for them. Characters are pretty easy to make, but things like maps and faces for text boxes are difficult and require a meager amount of skill. Still you could probably make custom assets for a game like Dues Card (a game I did some work on), Aurora Wing or Dark Energy and come away with a very good JRPG.

Was BarkleySUAJ a RPGMaker game?

Echoes of Eternia is a game made entirely in RPG Maker VX, and the creator is asking for $10,000 to complete it. Pledging $200 will allow you to design your own character, pledging $225 will allow you to voice your created character, and pledging $400 or higher will allow you to design an in-game shrine dedicated to yourself.

It currently has 847 backers pledging $27,028.

I looked at ones local to me and this one was just wonderful. I feel like 'donating' money that I know will come back to me and comment-asking why it is so awful. It's like poser plus a thousand filters until it's just smudges.

I think he's trying to make a printed comic about the Mechwarriors in New York City? With boobs, and maybe explosions. The video is to die for. If only he were kickstarting a TV show.

He needs $11k. He doesn't even have .

Aliens are out to take over the world and there's only one man that can stop them, and you can call him Al. Join Albert Einstein and his band of rag tag hero's in this sci-fi alternate reality thrill ride where aliens are trying to pick Einsteins brilliant mind to find the deadly secret that lies within that will give the planet the means to destroy itself. Can they save the day or will these aliens help to destroy the world and then re-purpose it for their own needs?

Yep, sounds pretty cheesy right? Well it should, but i hope you like it, wrote this as a short story for a class and thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone likes it and would want to see it turned into a book or maybe even a comic book. It's pretty cheap too right? Come on, buy it, read it, i hope you'll like it, but please tell me what you think. I know it's not the best writing but it's a good story and it's just plain fun. Right? Comment tell me what you think, should i pursue a career as a world famous writer, or stick to what I'm good at? Please, do tell. And tell your friends if you like it. And anyone who buys this will get whatever i do next for free, so there's some incentive for you.

The Green Thumb and Purple Haze are fraternal twins, so they have the same basic powers, but they will tend to use them a little differently based on their individual natures. Basically they develop cannabis-based metamorphic powers. They can change from a normal flesh and blood human body into a humanoid cannabis flower body.

This form is actually living, growing plant matter and they can control this plant body to a very high level. They can grow leaves, take on stem or root like qualities, or concentrate their flowering buds into solid crystalline THC that is effectively invulnerable.

Indie games still often get published via Steamworks or other distributors. They still get green-lit by major publishers, but they require, you know, portfolios and actual work backing it, rather than "I'M AN IDEAS MAN OKAY HAVE SOME COMMISSIONED ART"
