is 2003 the latest version? I know there is about 3 different versions right? Just make sure you get the best one first :P

You any good at using the program?

actually XP is the newest version, but they did away with side veiw battles and I wanted an animated battle so I'm opting to use 2003

Wrong. Side battles can be used in XP, and can also be made much more fleshed out with custom made scripts. If you honestly want to make a Mario RPG and not some lame-ass "Final Fantasy Mario", take some tutorials in Ruby, download XP, sit down and never think about using 2003 ever again.

But does he want to learn Ruby?

If your going to make this in 2k3, a good way of making this not a lame "Final Fantasy Mario", is to make a lot of custom stuff, such as custom menus and custom battle systems.

I made a custom menu for MFGG RPG.

well I am not adverse to making custom stuff, in fact I'm making a BUTT LOAD of custom NPCs
if anyone wants to see them I made like 6 sheets of toad people and like 3 yosji shees, all baded on ML style of course

I can help if you want,I made a mario game in rpg maker 2003 and it was okay...never finished it though,but I would like to join your team

sure you can join, what can you do?

I can get most of the mario and luigi sprites for rpg maker 2003,I can get music,I can find some enemy sheets and I know how to program rpg maker a little bit

ok then, actually I'm hand crafting all the graphics myself, as in I'm custom designing them, even though I'm using rips I'm assembling and recoloring like crazy, as far as programming any way you can help out will be apreciated

I've done some of a game on RM2k3 before. The battle system had one action command. But then the most important item in the game stopped working for some reason... Maybe I can send you a copy...

sure

So, when do you think this game is going to be done? :-P

I have allways loved RPGS.

it's in the very slow early stages but if I can circumvent a few programming issues and get the chipsets I need then it'll fly by, I'm gonna say by years end at the latest...assuming I can get what I need done, but it's going slow because of a few issues

though the more people I get on the project the faster it will go, sorry for the double post

BUMP!
no just kidding, actually I'm calling out! I have a slot open in this game for a ML and PiT ripper, I need one bad, anyone wanting to be part of the game, please help!
