RPG MAKER MV ANNOUNCED FOR PC AND MAC

I'll be sticking with Ace too, it seems like I'll mostly be getting decent export features and that's about it. MV is looking like a better maker to start with for newbies though.

Neat, the character creator looks a lot better now. The Ace character creator assets varied from looking bad to repulsive and I'm glad they worked on that. Plus there's no more awful front angle for facesets which is probably half the problem. It's also neat that the engine itself controls equipment slots too, I hope it's something extensible via traits or so.

I did notice the first script I'm going to add to any MV game I make: An "Exit Game" option at least on the title screen if running on a desktop environment. Which makes me wonder if there's an automatic flag or identifier in the script backend to identify the environment the game is running on. I wouldn't want any sort of preloader script running on anything except HTML5 for example and not having to go through export game as X, change scripts, export game as Y, would be nice.

The Steam version won't be tied to your computer, but to your Steam account. So if Steam works on Mac... (I don't know if it does.)

Personally the larger sprite size is enough for me.

That most of my coders are eager users of Javascript, that i need better optimization in the engine and that it's got mouse support are also huge though.

Yeah, Yanfly's video is impressive with no slowdown. I'd grab it to show y'all but I'm at work...

Oh hell yes. I've always personally detested that little event slowdown issue, since it doesn't really go away even with certain anti-lag scripts. Good to see they've finally patched it up.

iirc RMVX Ace has no limitations on sprite size, only tile size, just like VX and XP did before it. Frankly, I wish we could have better control over the tile grid itself, so we could make 16x16 tile games a bit easier.

Anyway, after discovering a check I forgot to cash in and receiving some payment from my job, I decided to jump on the pre-order bandwagon. Despite the oversights I'm seeing right now, I think this'll be a fine game making engine!

rm2k darklord returns!!!!

Well Javascript Support is what gets me right there. As a Webdeveloper who uses Coffeescript / NodeJS all day this is like Birthday! Looking forward to develope a few modules for RMMV!

Edit: No, not going to get caught up in the hype. I won't allow RMWebs to tempt me.

YOU CANNOT FLEE, THIS IS THA FUTURE!

Hell, I'm under file by RMwebs as a self-centered conspiracy-leading anarchist of some infamous terrorist organization and they've even tempted me.

But really, they're just a messenger, eb! is the one who made it, they're simply the additional dlc/translation team.

So if you fear letting RMwebs get to you, feel free to get hyped on rpgmakermv.co instead.
