Topic	I kinda wish I could do creative stuff, but I'm terrible at it.
Kisai 07/18/18 8:02:39 AM #14:	Ryetoast posted... Takes practice. Cant expect to pick up a hobby and be a god, and even after doing it for awhile there are still shortcomings. If you find it enjoyable do it for yourself and screw impressing everyone else. Re: Practice: I honestly do believe that there is a level of "talent" or whatever you wanna call it that you're either born with, or you're not. Not everyone is born with the same mind. And doing it only for yourself is fine to an extent, but it's not going to be that way forever, no matter who you are, or what you're doing. All of that said, I just might open up RMMV and fuck around in it for a bit... Darkrobotisback posted... Start with something small. I think little big planet is good for starting "small projects" You can: -make your own music -add your own pictures (assuming you got that PS camera) -define the physics to your liking. You can make a 2D pinball table to a 2D side scrolling shoot em up if you manage to get that elaborate. Yeah LBP2, you can make your own music. But I feel there is a ton of work that goes into making just one LBP level, and it might not even be that good. I could give it another shot, but what's the point if it ends up bad? Also Pinball?? That's genius! I never would have thought of that! This is what I mean. ;_; (Lack of creativity/imagination.) The most elaborate I got was a side-scrolling tank shooter similar to Blaster Master. WaterLink posted... Mario Maker is a good creative tool but I ended up just playing everyone else's levels. >_> I've had one or two levels actually end up with something like 30 Stars. Out of something like, 15 levels, I wouldn't consider that a massive success, though. By the way, other games with creative things that I utterly fail at are the Sims series, Cities Skylines/SimCIty 4, or Animal Crossing... I have no fashion sense for either Sims or AC, my houses in Sims games are shit, and my towns in Cities Skylines and Animal Crossing look terrible. All these things trigger some stupid impulse within me that make me think, "We could do stuff with this! Let's edit/design/make something!" But it's nothing compared to what other people could create. Also, there's a shitload of replies since I started writing this. I will debate that I don't believe if everyone just practiced, that everyone could have an equal level of talent, or imagination. I don't think any amount of practice is going to give me the same ability as others. BTW, this topic was partially inspired because I tried doing some RPing an hour or two ago in a chat room, and I was so fucking abysmal at it that I pretty much scared all 3 people away. _ (Kind of got me thinking about pen & paper RPGs, and how fun those look, but I'd be shit at those, too.) Regardless, it has kinda encouraged me to open RMMV. I'm in the mood for some turn-based RPG making. I feel ashamed to do it, though. --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? <cite>Kisai posted [p:905286017] in I kinda wi... [t:76818307]...</cite> <quote><cite>Ryetoast posted...</cite> <quote>Takes practice.
