www.rmrevolution.com is one of my faves KTC.

There's also a small, but growing community at www.rpgmakervx.net - focussing on, if you haven't worked it out, RMVX

rpg has has nice scripts,the resorces are most for rpg2k...

www.rpgmaker.fr, they have many kinds of resources.

phylomortis.com is no longer an RPG Maker resource website, so I removed it.

Heads up, KTC. I found this one:

http://www.teamanti.com/rmxp/

@KTC
http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/skylon/1991/
This web site at www.fortunecity.com has been reported as an attack site.

I found this site to have some helpful tutorials for beginners, so I thought I'd share:

http://rmxp.tigerseye.uk.com/index.shtml

That site is the best I've ever encountered. It has tutorials and tons of screenshots, and detailed instructions...thanks for posting it, Rage.

After wandering through all the resources, I realized that the most important part of independant gaming is knowing RGSS throughly.

But there are hardly any good guides to learn Ruby scripting at home all by my own.I seriously need names of books/ebooks or any other resources available online that teaches Ruby game scripting language from the scratch and also has self-help exercises.

By the way I couldnt locate the game makers forum here where i originally intended to post this topic.can someone provide me with the link?

this is the game makers forum.

here is another tutorial for beginners, for RPGVX

http://helloismileyou.com/rpgvx/vxtutorial.html

Thanx elonah,the resource is helpful and much appreciated.but I need help learning RGSS.

tigerseye website has been updated and there is a small stuff about RGSS

another thing i found
an online face maker, written in japanese though
http://lovelymoro.web.fc2.com/moromagalabo.html

http://fayforest.sakura.ne.jp/sozai/english.html

I think they're meant for VX, but they work fine for RMXP too. ^^

if they're in japanese, download a translater from bing or google to help. they have an auto translater that automaticly finds the languge it is in. its really useful to the ones in japanesse ,ect.
