I made this site and it's awesome. But I don't run it anymore. Now I'm just a plebe like you.

The "new" RM2k3 engine

It was always bad to pirate it. And now, you can make those exact games without pirating it. Why shouldn't the legal path be endorsed and the illegal path be frowned upon? You can make the argument that the pirated version was purely the means to an end. That is no longer the case today.

People patching an import copy is an insignificant fraction of the userbase. I do not think it is asking much to pay $20 to replace your 12 year old imported and hastily translated software.

I always miss out on the wild drama

Some of the drama was good; some was bad.

The "new" RM2k3 engine

This should come as no surprise, but I would definitely disallow new RT2k3 games. No reason to remove the existing library. It's not the same as say, attempting to bar wallpapers made with a pirated copy of Photoshop. The illegal version of RPG Maker 2003 outputs a specific collection of files that you can tell was made by a piece of ill-retrieved software.

It is also somewhat condescending to refer to using any RM software as an inconsequential hobby. It isn't really for anyone to judge how serious someone is with anything they do. And if they do do it, they should probably do it legally.

The official English 2k3 version is out!

And this is why it would have been great for the runtime to be open-source. None of this silly cloak and daggers game with bug fixes, algorithms, and so forth. Anyone who's done serious game dev knows the magic is in the tools, not the engine.

The official English 2k3 version is out!

I might have to buy this purely so I can get KC(A) to work with the new RTP.

EDIT: I also really like Ness.

The official English 2k3 version is out!

Well I'm probably not going to buy it; I don't have any of these weird guilt since I rarely touched the thing. If they wanted my money 12 years ago, they knew exactly how to get it. :)

THAT HAVING BEEN SAID, it's still neat; cherry and Ness did some great work. My only beef is that the RTP isn't compatible with prior games.

The official English 2k3 version is out!

Although I think it's just a FEW years too late for much hooplah around this, it's nice to have. I wish that the ATB was fixed just a little more so the enemies don't all act at the same time; that would make so many games playable.

Still gonna throw the updated .exe in a few games and check things out.

Very nice cave tileset.

Looks great! Love the amount of curviness to everything.

Shadows of Adam

I'm really diggin' this game's style.

I was discussing it with a friend and realized you were aiming for GBA-like visuals. Resolution and saturation levels. Gives it a very unique look (even if I personally don't like the level of saturation).

About the only critique I've got at the moment is that your font in the battle shot really super duper needs a shadow or something. Don't let us UI fans down.

Can't wait to see more.
