ENGINE LIST UPDATES

Not sure exactly where to put this, so I figured the User Feedback might be the best section. Mods feel free to move if I'm an idiot ;)
Since I'm broke I went questing (which by questing I mean Googling for a few hours) for a free RPG Maker clone, or another engine which I could use. Here are a few engines that I believe should be added to the list:
WolfRPG Editor: A freeware RPG Maker clone. It is in Japanese, but the there is a partial translation available somewhere on the webs. Games run at a silky smooth 60fps after being built (RPG Maker games run at 40fps if I remember correctly).
ENIGMA/LateralGM: An open source, cross-platform Game Maker clone. Includes importing/exporting Game Maker projects (5.3a to 8.1 I believe), compiled executables (smaller and faster than Game Maker's interpreted executables), Drag & Drop developement, a GML and C++ code language called EDL, & the ability to make .DLL libraries. Not complete yet but still extremely impressive so far IMO.

Honorable mentions:
EasyRPG: Very promising RPG Maker clone. Supposed to be compatible with RM projects. The Player is a cross-platform, drop in replacement for RPG Maker's game executables (RSSGM.exe?). The editor is only available for Linux as of now (although it might run in Windows with andLinux + dependencies installed).
Dia RPG Builder: An RPG Maker clone built in Game Maker and Dev-C++(?).
Open RPG Maker: Another RM clone. Looks promising, but project appears to be dead.
TURBU RPG Maker: Haven't really gotten around to playing with it, but seems promising. Supposed to be compatible with RM2K projects.
Engine001: Played around with it for a little bit, but seemed much too underpowered to make complex games. Feel free to correct me, if I am wrong.

For the hell of it, might as well post these too... Someone might find something useful/interesting.

(RPG Maker games run at 40fps if I remember correctly).

RPG Maker 2000, RPG Maker 2003, RPG Maker VX, and RPG Maker VX Ace all run at 60fps; RPG Maker XP runs at 40fps by default but can easily be made to run at 60fps.
I think the policy usually is to add an engine to the list once someone's made a game in it on the site.
as far as I remember rm2k3 runs at 30 fps, not 60 O_o

I'm curious as to why it's believed to be 30 fps (wondered when I saw the claim in the rpgrage comic). Fraps tells me that rm2k3 is running at 60 fps.

That wasn't really the point of the post...

Dunno I've always tought 2k3 was 20 fps because Shanghai said that o:

This is roughly true. If a few games are made in an engine and submitted, and we perceive there to be a continued interest for people to make games in that engine, we usually add it.

The creator of TURBU emailed me some time ago, but he is holding off until he finishes the engine. And that's the other thing, I suppose, we only consider engines that are generally functional (and preferably complete (though we've made a few exceptions with Construct 2 and RM20XX)).
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

So, because you lacked the insight to deny my awful submission graciously accepted a game from my youth, I now apparently have one of two RPG Maker 95 games on the site. Since RPG Maker 95 was actually made by ASCII (before they became Enterbrain) and is part of the main RPG Maker series, is it worth adding to the engine list?

This game is the other RPG Maker 95 game. It is, as far as I can tell, the only other one here. According to Google, anyway.
