Well, I just downloaded Verge and did a tutorial, but I still don't know enough to make my own games. Know any good advanced tutorials? I have a lot of experience programming, I just don't know much about Verge.
Oh, and how do you make a save file for a game?
Thanks,
++Krazy++

Read all of the beginners resources. Then, trawl through the downloads (I recommend using the "browse old index" feature) and grab pretty much every game you see (I personally advocate my own contribution, the unfinished "Parallel 7"). Most come with source code (*.vc) and most are also reasonably well commented. Have a glance through these for working examples of how you can write game code that works with Verge, how people arrange their maps etc.
Finally, don't expect to get started overnight. Verge needs a little perceverance but the rewards more than make up for it. For a little encouragement, take a look at the galleries for a set of screenshots from some games made with Verge.

Thanks! I guess I just overwhelmed myself a bit with this... I'm used to RPG Maker, and recently decided I didn't like the piracy.
One more question though: Will anyone care if I nab their text box code and battle system?

Most people will not care if you reuse their code, as long as you give proper credit.
If you release your game for free, that is.
If you are doing it for "teh monies", you should work out some sort of agreement with the original codemakers.
Note that any source code from The Sully Chronicles is free and clear for any and all reuse. It's BSD-license, which amounts to: "Eh, we don't care, go nuts."

Thanks... Wait, how DO you get source code from Sully Chronicles? I've been looking (I just need that TextBox method), but I can't find it anywhere!

Sully's source is mostly contained in the "vc" folder of the Sully packin. The textbox code is in /vc/v1_rpg/v1_textbox.vc relative to your Sully folder.

Thanks, I found it. Hmmm, could I nab that battle system from the front page?

So long as I get mentioned somewhere I'm happy for you to use any code that has my name on it so long as you don't also nick my dialogue or claim ownership of a large portion of my art. I'm working on a library of useful code if you're interested: there's an early version of it kicking around the downloads. Search for Interference's Function Library. I've updated it a bit since then but I haven't gotten round to uploading a new version just yet.

If you're crazy enough to work with my code, by all means, try!
