DUSTSOFT'S PROFILE

I was hoping they would make more genre specific makers.. Platformer maker.. Beatemup maker.. so on and so forth.
But instead, they keep trying to make an all in one maker and lumping different genres together into one genre as "action" .. noooooooooo
I even went to their facebook page, AND their website to let them know this was tried before with IG Maker (also known as the first Action Game Maker) and told them why it failed..
I would hope kadokawa would learn, but I guess not..

I've been working on my own product for some time now, to compete with the 'Makers'. (But since this is my first post here, I'm not going to self-promote too much an put links here, unless you ask. Also sorry if I sound too pretentious, because I know I haven't proven myself yet)

You are absolutely right that the maker needs to be genre specific. Only then can you have a really easy to use maker. When you allow anything to be customized, this doesn't even put real limits of what you can make in the end.

Since I'm going to compete with RPG Maker and the likes, I'm always following their new releases closely. And to be honest, this Pixel Game Maker announcement makes me very happy (probably in the wrong sense ;)).

First of all this is Windows only. It's 2018, so why the hell is this Windows only? It's nowadays so easy to make programs multiplatform, so why would you technically limit yourself to Windows only? Great news for me! ;)

They are using flowcharts, which look nice at first sight, but when you actually want to do sometime practical with them, you end up with this:

Good luck with that!

So yeah, I see this as a continuation of their IG Maker path, which is nothing really special.

In my opinion, they have a nice product with RPG Maker, but they continue to drop the ball on the rest, and even on taking RPG Maker to its full potential.

What is your email? How can I use your maker? I want to make an adventure platformer (metroid-vania), and an RPG MAKER styled version of that sounds good.

IG Maker was bad, and this PIXEL Gamer maker has me smh. If you can out do them, I will give you my business.

My email is Dustsoft@gmail.com

I started using RPG maker VX but then discovered Ace. I already have a lot of content in VX, i was wondering if there was a way to open up games made in vx in Ace. or is ACE just too different.

Thanks

WOW, I think this is great advice.

Sooooo, I did some google researching and I figured out the problem, or a way to fix it.

"It easy to fix the problem in Vista...

Go to C:/Program Files/rpg2003
Edit: Right click on rpg2003 folder
click on Properties
click on Security
click on Edit...
check all the Allow to Full Control, Modify, Read & execute, Last folder contents, Read, Write, and Special permissions.
click on Apply
You are all set."

I figured I should post this so if anybody else has the same problem they can try this and see if it fixes the problem.

Needs to be said, given the latest blog posts on Fable of Heroes (see EPIC bug in the game, discovered a mere 5 days ago), I don't fully agree with this selection. It doesn't seem like the creator has worked out all the bugs for the latest release yet, nor does it seem like anyone has played far enough to report all of them.

Me, my co-creator, and my friends have spent many many hours beta testing this game, however, once the RMN community got a hold of this, new bugs where discovered. Not many, but enough to give me a sad face. I've debugged pretty much all of them, And at the point it is right now, I feel FoH is very polished. Time will tell.

And thanks for the feature, I hope the new attention the game may receive will help me become a better game designer.
