RPG MAKER MV ANNOUNCED FOR PC AND MAC

author=kory_toombs
Looks like VX graphics to me.

Yeah, it looks a lot on the surface like another VX / VX Ace port, but the multi-platform functionality and touchscreen / mouse support does sound rather intriguing… Hopefully there’s gonna be a lot more information about this and even some more new features possibly being added to it and posted up sometime in the future, because, at this particular moment, I’m not too superly enthusiastic about this other than those two new features, which I guess is a lot better than standard VX Ace, I guess.

I’m hoping that the eventing process will be very similar to 2k3’s and it will be able to handle a lot more going on than what VX or VX Ace can do. I mean, scripting is great and all, but I do miss being able to make all sorts of crazy shit using just mainly events, and it’s a shame that VX or VX Ace can’t replicate some of that same functionality like 2k3 can – but whatevers.

- But, either way, I’m happy to see another RPG Maker announced! You can’t complain too much when that happens. ^^

So what's the 65% in the box on the bottom of the right-hand page? Is that an estimated % complete?

- Metacritic score?
- Features not yet announced?
- The likelihood of the Chicago Cubs winning the pennant?

Who knows.

There will likely be a 30 day trial version, which will lead to some sort of event.

Remember I have remarkable powers that allow me to predict what RMN will do.


At this point it's hard to say if I would get it. With Ace and its scripts being so powerful there's only the mobile device option that makes it better at the moment. It seems more like they should name it RPG Maker VX Ace+

I am hoping that the second screenshot on the upper left is indicating that the software will track the player's elevation and make bridges work the proper way without us having to event it in (walking over and under them).

I got my hopes up when I saw that too. Bring a new dimension to mountains and valleys without being awkward and frustrating.

Maybe there will be an entirely new passability option or mapping tool for it. Even just a "bridge" flag like there has been for counters would be nice.

I think what they mean by auto three layers is that there will be three layers of the map itself by default. In Ace there is really only two, A, then B, with events acting as a sort of 3 but not really. So, I'm thinking that it will going something like the XP style of mapping, which is cool, but the way that they say that it's automatically like that makes me think that you may be able to add additional layers to the map if you want to.

Exactly, I never understood why great features of past makers were forgotten about in future releases. rm2k3's eventing system and sideview options, XP's awesome mapping system, etc. I just want more customization options outside of a high-level scripting language... as has existed in past makers. For a program designed to create games based around complicated menu systems and battle algorithms, games based around retro graphics/pixel art, and party and inventory management mechanics, all with the slogan 'even nubs can gam mak!', the actual ability to meaningfully edit any of this without learning ruby is severely lacking.

and yes, I want the scripting language, too, but I feel like ruby became a lazy replacement for a lot of features that should have been default, putting the onus on the community to find workarounds for a program they paid a lot of money for.

bahleted

I-It's happening.
