Okay, Im editing this first post because people are thinking I still don't have a program to make my game on lol. And, I'M making this game, my friends are just kinda helping lol.

The story of the game: A girl named Anna is going for a boat ride when she crashes to avoid some *sea turtles?* she is in a coma and is left outside for a day and a half, until a hunter finds her and takes her to the hospital. To wake up from her coma, she has to face her nightmares....

List of awesome people here that have contributed/are helping:

Thanks! Gonna look into it a bit more. I've read a bit about it when looking for a program, but I didn't really pay attention to it. Do you know if XP or Ace is better?

What about sounds and tiles and stuff? I could either find some free ones or make them, right?

Pretty much, yeah. You can find music and sounds on those Royalty Free music sites (as long as you credit them in the credits)

I see, thanks!

I just checked and saw that Ace was $69.99 (wow) and XP was $29.99. Maybe I can get Ace for my birthday I can't wait until there's a playable version so I can share it with you bros! does anyone here know the advantages and disadvantages of XP and Ace?

What's better about the mapping system? Is it easier to use, more customizable, or what?

Thanks for the help guys! I got the trial version of Ace to use until I can buy it. So, can I use this thread for actual updates to the game, or do I have to make a new thread for it?

VX Ace happened to go on sale for a few days (until 4PM PST today) on Steam for 50% off! So, of course I got it. Here's a screenshot :

I realize that its not the best screenshot to post, but its the only one I took of the intro. You can guess what's going to happen next
It's going to be about a girl who is in a coma and has to live her nightmares to wake up. (There's going to be more, this is.just a basic plot) and its going to.be called Wide Awake.
What do you think?

Yes, I'm using it until I can make good enough tiles do you know how? Like, I know how to use gimp, but how do I make tiles that look nice? And thank you :3

Thanks, but I've already got VX Ace and started to work on it haha I'll post more screenshots tomorrow or something.

Aw why don't you try again?

And so, I've been working on the story a bit and getting music (Thanks ChewbaccasHandcream and wulfsok!),but I actually don't know what to use as a threat in the game. Should it just be one monster /killer in the game? What do you guys think of a serial killer?
