A_BERTRAND'S PROFILE

Having too many tabs which eat up CPU will affect the speed overall, yes. For the demo, due to the small sized zones it will indeed tend to load a lot which is kinda annoying I fully agree.

For the return key, easy enough could be added ask "action" key as well. I will add that in the wishes.

Thanks BlackWolf1992. It's clear that this tool doesn't have all the quality and features you would want yet. But as the tool will grow (both in community and features) it should improve.

The next big step will be a plugin system letting you create yourself features and then share them with other owners. Some examples will be provided like a multi-user blackboard letting you put short messages and make them visible to all.

This should open up the door to more complex multi-player integration like player market, card or board games playable by multiple players and so on.

I'm not aware of other RPG makers offering you such kind of features (the multi-player part, not the plugins) so in this it should be pretty unique.

Indeed you can actually have a huge number of animation frames however currently only 4 directions.

Another of the quite many thing I didn't mentioned that you have an integrated pixel editor.

Seem indeed there is an annoying issue here. Are you using the mouse or the keyboard?

what does this offer that recent rpg makers don't?

That's what I could quickly sum up
- You can chat and exchange in game "email" with other players, see each others, and more user interaction is coming like player market and other features.
- Map are nearly infinite in size, with a base procedural generated and game owner edited over it.
- Particle system integrated.
- Real time battles with one ore more enemy (depending on how many followed you).
- Window size is free as it takes as much space as you give (not just resize the art, but show more)
- Play from anywhere (as you can play from your browser on your PC, laptop, mobile) and the game will continue where you was
- You can create standalone APP (yes the latest RPG maker allows that)
- You can have overlapping objects (actually there is no limit on the number of object on a cell)
- Objects can be placed anywhere, not just on the grid

For me the main difference is that you don't need any tool, you can start editing on any computer, and continue later on another one. You could collaborate on the same game as well, and as soon as you save others can directly check out your progress and comment. The workflow is therefore a lot faster.

Can it make single-player, turn-based games?

While you can make single-player games, the combats currently are only real-time.

I would strongly suggest to test it, as you get mostly all feature for free, the main things missing in the free version are the particle system and the multi-player. You don't like it? fine you didn't lose anything either.
