Have you ever stopped to think that you've been pirating RM2k this entire time? And that Rm2k3 was an expansion that you have also pirated? If that's your mindset, at *least* pirate RMVX when it gets out.

It's about getting the community excited about a new engine -- there are new tricks that we have access to and it might be easier to implement our old tricks. If learning how to code would become a standard expectation in the community, the impact would be enormous. Furthermore, flexibility in basic areas such as changing game resolution affects the way that we can look at making a game from the most fundamental level.

You make a valid point but I have a strong feeling there will be anti-piracy measures against the new RPG maker (like registering with an online server). If I do manage to get a copy legally or otherwise, I'd certainly use it. XD

I appreciate your desire to motivate the community again If we can get to the heights of when Don released RM2000 translated or even beyond that then it'd be awesome.

I did get that feeling of "I need to make a game out of this" when I tried the trail so I'm hyped as a lot of other people. I might not be showing any indication of that though lol.

::)

I still prefer RM2k3. It's not that I'm attached to it or anything but the fact that I can make my game on older machines like the one I'm using right now makes it more practical. Of course you could say why do you get a better PC? Truth is I don't exactly have the money right now for that. :P Plus getting RPG VX the legit way would set me back more dosh so yeah if I had the money, I'd jump onto RPG VX any day. Still, personally I find the graphics a bit out of sorts. Other people will like it I know but that's my opinion on the matter.

What really makes me want to use RPG VP is the running button lol! I struggled to get a working code in RM2k3 and gave up shortly after that so that's all good.

I'm not very good at the creative side of things but I can help with any minor stuff like palette swapping, research (lol) etc. I've also been reading all the posts here so I know what's going on (a bit). :P
Just a question though, as a rough estimate when will you start actually making the game? 4 months down the line I suppose?

To me, reviews should only be made when a game is completed. You often won't find much potential in a demo or something like that.

Can I just comment that even full games are sometimes unplayable. The game maker might oversee some things like overpowered enemies, serious glitches (after beta testing) etc.

Has this topic turned into "favourite browser" topic!? I'll pitch in. Firefox is my choice because it was the first internet browser I used apart from IE and I loved it. Used Opera, Netscape and even AOL but they all lack in something I can't put my finger on.
