To clarify, when I said "get a ruthless project manager to build the frame-work and get as many people as possible to contribute into it" what I meant was a project manager who would accept all content that keeps the project healthy, rather than do any kind of recruitment, and content that...

My thoughts are this isn't a community collaborated game. You've fallen into traditional roles and have assigned yourself the scenario writer. I'm not sure you'll be able to get the community to make your game for you.

It could be that one of these plugins accidentally overrides console.log, however your browser might not allow that so silently ignores the override and allows normal console.log to work. See if you have any objects called "console" or if you've done "console.log=" or something weird like that...

A big, big thing to avoid with community led projects is getting the community to make your game idea. You don't want to lock down everything and say "community monkeys, fly my pretties and make my story into a game!". Everything critical to the project should start of as a single page and then...

Another angle to go with, which would be way easier, is to do a sort of demo-scene style game with mini chapters each telling a different story, even returning to a previous story or connecting to one. This lets the story burden dangle and then it becomes "anything goes". I remember watching an...

I've seen countless community RPG Maker projects, none of them finished. A lot of the problem is the pass-along system losing track of who the current owner is and the project falls apart due to lack of a project manager. Things like story are nigh impossible to keep going and everyone...

What part does not work? Does the minimap not show but gabwindow still works? Does gabwindow not show but minimap works? Do both of them break? Could be related to the weirdness of this plugin overriding Scene_Map.prototype.start rather than Scene_Map.prototype.createAllWindows for window...

I believe this is a very important point to consider and exactly why I see this as the best scenario. You only have to do the hard thing once, then your customers and you reap the benefits forever after. OS X is just BSD Unix, so from the point of view of the computing world, Windows is the...

It's not a very good option as it requires a lot of intervention from the user. They'll likely give up and ask for a refund rather than waste an hour figuring out how to package their own game. It should simply work when they download it. The best option would be to serve both copies of the...

Exactly this, I've done this myself loads of times and I've written out a couple of tutorials for people on how to do this. If you release your MV game for Windows but not Mac, then your customers can themselves make a Mac version, so why not do that yourself and claim the credit for it?

That's a smart way to go about it. For my project, its primary target is Android due to rapid prototyping being easier on the platform and the license fee being cheaper. The iOS version will happen after Android is launched as a result, despite the iOS market being provably significantly more...
