[POLL] RMVX ACE OR RM2K3 FOR A CLASSIC SNES STYLE

I don't think is should be in this forum, spellcraftquill. But the mods should transfer it, so don't fret.

Anyway, I think you should go for 2k3. Ace is too smoothed out for the type of game you want to make.

The graphics that come with Ace out of the "box" aren't great. But the graphics you can buy through add-ons such as the DS Resource Pack are great.

RPG Maker RTP is probably better than Ace's.

Though with the resources out there for Ace you don't really need to use Ace's RTP.
And with Ace's functionality you will have an easier time getting what you want.

Like was said, though. The DS and DS+ packs have a more SNES authentic feel, but you have to be willing to fork over the money to buy the packs. There's also the High Fantasy pack that has a sort of old school Western rpg charm; but again, these cost money to buy.

If you're looking for free alternatives well...

Ace can support rips, like 2K/3, but somebody has to be able to format them. The fact is, 2K/3 has an abundant of rips already available from the NES, SNES and PS1 era, much more so than Ace does. There's also the Mack and Blue set (completely free). VX had a few Mack tiles converted, but the Mack and Blue for 2K/3 has about 3 or 4 times the amount of Mack tiles that VX has, all of which have an SNES feel.

So yeah, an SNES like game can be done in Ace if you have the right resources or find somebody willing to take existing resources and format them to work with Ace. After all, the next Blackmoon Prophecy is being done in Ace. But 2K/3 already has everything you need right at your fingertips (minus scripting capability), so if you're looking for something quick and cheap 2K/3 is your best bet.
