CloseWhich designer do you use to make your games?
Discuss!
I mostly use RM2k3, just cause I love playing RPG's, but for those who have played my games know I can design worth shit, so I've been working with my old designing software, GameMaker.

So you only use RM2k3, just cause you love playing RPG's? RM2k, XP and VX games are RPGs too right?
I use VX btw

Haha, misunderstood, I started on RM2k3 because I loved rpg's, I used it brifly when it came out, then when I stumbled apon this forum I rekindled the old files. I just have more experince with RM2k3 then any other.
I use 2k3 mostly because I heard Alter AILA was made in it, and I just stuck with it because that's what I was used to.

Oh I get you now XD
RM2k3 was always my maker of choice, but then I started to see how limited it was (Without scripting)
And When XP came out I was like "wtftallcharacters lolno gtfo" So yeah, I skipped XP, the tall characters did not tickle my fancy, but then VX came along and I just fell in love with the graphics, text and scripting :D

I use RPG Maker XP - It reminds me of teh PSX version, but with more options and better graphics. XD
I use RM2k3 because I like the DBS (vs. RM2k) and built-in class system. Plus, I haven't shelled out for RMVX yet.
I hated RMXP because all of my cool built-in things I was used to in RM2k3 weren't there and I didn't have the patience to learn the Ruby scripting. (And the RTP-styled charsets are really REALLY retarded looking).
RMVX sounds good, but I want to finish off my existing projects before moving on.

I prefer rm2k for the opposite reason as kentona. I absolutley cannot stand ATB battle systems, and I can't figure out why it's so popular. To me, it makes the battles really hectic, because you have to wait for your bar to fill up before you can take an action, and then you have to figure out who your choosing an action for, what you want to do and whether you have to wait for another character to be ready or not, and while all these decisions and waiting are going on, the enemies are hammering away at you automatically without pause. It's just nuts! How can a person make a good tactical choice when there's so much to pay attention to?
Anyway, I looked at the other differences between 2k and 2k3, and decided that 2k better suited my needs. I might look into VX, but continuing my series in it might be tricky graphics-wise. And I've heard just too much confusing stuff about XP.
In all likelyhood, I'll probably look into Game Maker at some point. Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden was made in that, and that's the style of RPG I enjoy. But, for now, rm2k works.

I've been using RM2k3 for most of my projects since it's nice and simple, and I'm used to it. Also, I didn't quite have the $60 to shell out for RMXP before. Now I do, so I'll probably go with that once Paradise Blue is done. All of my battle systems and ideas basically require a bunch of event coding/monster group eventing/scripting anyway. At least RMXP would give me more flexibility that way.

Set the battle mode to wait so when a turn comes up the battle pauses while you give commands. It doesn't help with waiting while gauges fill, but that's a flaw of the system itself. Its possible that the game doesn't have an option for setting to wait though for whatever stupid reason.
For now I use Rm2k3 because I hate myself and I'd like to get something finished for it before tossing it for good and I've messed around with XP/VX but I'm not sure what to use next.

I am currently using rm2k3.
Why? Because I'm used to it, I like having certain limitations, as it makes me try and be unique (maps, etc), and because rm2k3 has a good resolution.

If I had come on here before I got XP, then I would have gotten rm2k3 (due to it's immense popularity) but now I have XP, I'll just stick with that.
