WIP'S PROFILE

author=Yoshio
made a map, was reminded of how hard it is to make maps look decent with vx rtp, and with the vx map editor in general

but it's worth the effort i think

gonna try to make time to do at least a little bit of work on the game each day

The secret is to not use the VX RTP 8)

I'll probably pretty up the forum list in the near future to maximize all the space.

STOP DEFENDING VX WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH DAMN, PEOPLE
If you want to make a decent VX game you need scripts for THE MOST BASIC FUNCTION.
A script for LESS PICTURE LAG. A script for DECENT MAPPIGN (or else an antilag for the huge ammount of events you will need)
Scripts to editting the poor, unbalanced, loosy, limited BS.
Scripts for almost ANYTHING!!!
And if you want event systems... ( I love them. They're more artsy and original )
...RMVX' EVENTS SUCK!
RMVX is for the one who wants so spend a really HUGE ammount of time for something that can be ultimatelly better than 2k3 due to resolution. (because, in fact, rm2k3 HAVE a script language. I don't know if it's as good as RGSS, ask cherry.)

All in all I stick to rm2k3 because:
*Smaller resolution = less trouble, more details (or less resolution = more "detailed" sprites, since it takes four times less trouble to detail them)
*Way better event commands
*Way better battle system, but with a few annoying bugs such as the gumb way INT works.

And the best of it, many, many more reasons coming due to Wolfcoder and Cherry. (they're Gods, you know.)
Including many troubling functionalities that you can have with scripts in VX, way less buggy (i hope lol) and way simpler. All in all, rm2k3 is a simpler, more direct tool. You can create things as good - or better than - vx's. Just.with.smaller.resolution. (But with 32bits images as far as wolfcoder's 20xx goes, I believe.)
So, that's it.

And sorry if I'm a bustling wolfcoder / cherry fan, they're too awesome and what they're making is making me TOOOO HAPPPPPYYYYY

Just so you can stop embarrassing yourself in the future:

1) Scripts are what makes RMXP/VX far more powerful than anything RM2k3 can do.
2) There is a logical fallacy that smaller resolution = more details. Don't say it again please.
3) The RMVX battle system has the advantage in that it isn't horrifically broken if you add more than 2 people in your party.
4) You can still do more in RMXP/VX than you can with anything WolfCoder and Cherry have made and are making.
EDIT: 5) RM2k3 does not have a public scripting language and it isn't even close to the same thing as what RMXP/VX can do ARGH HULK SMASH

We were actually having a very passion filled conversation here until you had to inject pure dumb into it.

Now, the reason a more modern system isn't used is because of the ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE amount of transitional work required. So much has been done within an outdated system that at this point it's more counterproductive than not to attempt to convert the entire project.

My question is what, exactly, are you trying to accomplish? Impressing other people who make games as a hobby? Good for you. Trying to make a commercially viable game that you can make money off of? Good luck to you.

These are some good points. I don't think it would be wise to try and transition a game to RM2k3. However if you have been working on your RM2k3 game for THIS LONG since VX came out, you have serious development problems that need to be looked at anyway.

What I am trying to accomplish is to fuel some passionate discussion. And also to get people to try out new things. I'm not much of an RM user myself and have preferred the purely programming aspects of game creation, but even I am going to broach new territory and use VX for a project.

What I cannot stand, however, is FUD being spread.

And the avatar IS?

No. The avatar is also an anime breast jiggling GIF.

I am thinking that stupid bullshit jiggling anime breast GIFs are not appropriate.
