Things I Need to Know Before Making My First RPG
Thanks for the help.
From what I have been looking at the stuff I plan to be doing with the maker is considered simple stuff, so I am not too concerned. That's not to say I think it'll be easy, just not too worried.
Regarding Android:
I was confused by the way an app called "IRM Player" billed itself on the market. It sounded like it used the rpg maker system we have been talking about but in reality it is it's own unique tool, which is disapointing.

Things I Need to Know Before Making My First RPG
First of all - hello!
I've done some research, writing, thinking, soul searching, hot-pocket eating, and considering and have finally decided to commit myself to making a game using one of the RPG makers. I made this decision a couple of weeks ago when I learned that an RPG maker player was released for Android and was prompted to get off my ass and look into this thing .
It took some time, but after I realized I could actually make a traditional RPG myself I was so excited I could hardly sleep. Still, I figured I should be sure that the RPG Maker was not beyond my capabilities. The more I read about it the more it seems something I can grasp if I stick to it.
Thus I began the process of creating a story. And might I say, it IS a STORY. A hell of a story - compelling characters, events that extend beyond the comprehension of the player at the time they happen, unexpected plot twists (and some expected ones), epic plot, and a device by which the player feels the characters emotions.
But that was the easy part for me. I am a writer by semi-profession after all. I have never designed a game before, nor have I any experience in coding, etc. In fact, I'm such a goober that I don't even know HTML!
So here I am, realising I need some questions answered before I dive deep. Here are the ones floating in my head right now, but when you answer please keep in mind that I know I will need to do a lot more learning (tuts, etc.) before I really get moving. But before going further I need to know this stuff:
1) I wont do too well writing music, and I am not sure if I can do well creating sprites, tiles, etc. Is it likely that I can get someone to help me out with these areas in which I am seriously lacking?
2) Is this one of those places were newbish questions are disregarded or treated with disdain?
3) Which RPG Maker should I use?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!
4) Do I need to do something special to make my game compatible with the Android player?
5) Is it possible to create a game in such a way that it is downloaded from the android market as a seperate file from the player but used by it?
6) How hard is it going to be for me to piece together a working knowledge of this system from the tuts etc. that are laying around at this site?
Thanks!
