Growing an idea by Cluster Parable
--MISSING DLL ERROR: Link on the itch.io webpage to it. Place it on the folder

--RTP ERROR: Link on the itch.io to it. Install it too, it's a system created by RPG Maker that allows you to decompress the file or something like that... I ain't any programmer so the description is here (http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packages)
--ALT+ENTER TO FULL SCREEN--
Growing an idea is my first game. I designed it and created all the art. I'm not a programmer neither a screenwriter neither a graphic designer. I'm just a man that enjoys playing the piano so I think music is the best part.
The source code, artwork and music is located on the folder where you install it.
This is a game that tells the story about an artist that found one day the inspiration and how he managed it. You are the inspiration itself and you two will experiment and discover wich type of art you are. Were you born for that, can you change what you are, or worse, are you even alive?* Don't ask me, I'm just a videogame creator! But ask yourself. Enjoy!
*some or all this questions may not be included on the game.

The RTP is a system that makes the game size smaller (or something like that). I uploaded on my itch.io webpage. The file comes from the RPG Maker Official webpage (http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packages)
About the graphics I have to say that I didn't have that image of them in my mind but I had to use the black filter due to some problems with contrast.
I rushed a bit creating the music part, I wanted to work more on it but I didn't have enough time so that's why it's a littl' crappy.
Graphics were made rushing too but it went better.
To Dreyan: there's two current issues happening to those who don't have RPG Maker installed. You have to download the dll file wich I uploaded to my itch.io page and move it into the installation folder. Then, if it asks for the RTP you've got to install it too. Sorry for all the trouble, it's my first time uploading!
As such, this game as a piece of art - considering the amount of development time - really nailed a couple of things.
Not sure if the art style is intentional or just rushed, but it surely fits the game!
It was a fun experience and I really love your way of thinking!
As a slightly more experienced developer, I can help you if you need some basic ideas in regards of releasing the game.
As for example, RTP can be turned off - or even put into the game folder if you used parts of it - and considering the kit you used to develop, it would be probably better to release the game as a zip package instead of an RPG Maker package.
As for a first entry, I love it, I totally love it, your art style made this game really worth my time!
Keep up the good work!
