A text-based RPG designer would be easier than RPGMaker? And you still have to code an entire game, write the script, sprite the characters, draw the graphics...
well, you see, the text RPG maker would make text RPGs a popular choice, its not just for this project, though i will be designing it to be close to RD in game play. and actually, i wont be making any content, story, or art for this project. i'm just supplying the program. also, for some reason, i dont really want this to be easy o.O;
anyway, spilting the project into 2 parts will stop any S&Ds too.
