Wither Review
author=Hoddmimirauthor=RastekI find that game much more confusing now than I did before, and I kind of like it better a bit the way I thought it was. lol. Oh well.
Naw, but if it makes you feel better that's where he gets the idea to kill himself by hanging.
Agreed. That was my impression, that he was the guy in the hotel room. In any case, this was quite an peculiar journey, one that just felt surreal. It reminds me of another strange game I once played: The Mirror Lied. That was another one that seemed to require several different interpretations.
RPG Maker VX Ace
That's been my primary argument about the Ace. It's great for newbies and people who don't want anything to do with scripts, but those who've already mastered the VX will be able to do just about everything in VX that can be done with the Ace and will be hard-pressed to spend the money on a program where they already have the same features.
I do admit convenience is a factor, and I like having the face/sprite maker in the program, but again, there are programs available for free that make this possible with VX.
I will say one thing: While we do have SwapXT, and it was a Godsend over the past couple years, it can be tedious to use if you are planning a big project and trying to remember all the various profiles you might have. At least this way, it's all included in the package and will hopefully make things easier with mapping.
However, easier mapping doesn't necessarily mean "improved" mapping, which is my biggest gripe.
What they really should have considered was a separate mapping editor that allowed parallaxing to be done within the editor. Until they get smart about features people really want and can use (parallax mapping, stacking events, resolution, etc), it's really nothing more than an upgrade, and unfortunately as an upgrade it's just going to encourage people to go out and download illegal copies.

1 and 1/2 years later, but...
Tis a shame it went by the wayside. While it had its share of faults, it had a lot of potential, and felt sort of like a Tales of the Drunken Paladin spin-off.

RPG Maker VX Ace
Thanks, King, that explains a lot. I guess it hasn't bothered me all that much, but I do see the point of not being able to adjust the upper layers without fudging up the bottom.
Of course, with idiotic borders around the auto-tiles, it gets frustrating having to manipulate the upper pieces just so grass forms correctly behind a building, instead of somehow appearing to run around the roof.
I'm more concerned with learning more about paint/image programs so I can test my hand at tweaking the squares into octagonal shapes like XP to make a more natural, less blocky look.
But at least they brought back unlimited tilesets and added a few additional features.

RPG Maker VX Ace
I haven't used RM2K/3 a whole lot, so not sure what the difference in layering is compared to VX. Could you fill me in?
RPG Maker VX Ace
author=Despainauthor=Archeia_Nessiahthree layers? YESS!!!! RMVX has no layers at all, but some horrible two-layer system that's based on the tiles themselves. really, VX with XP's mapping system would be more than enough to make me happy.
And the layers are still the same :C
Upper = XP
Lower = VXAce screenshot that is so tiny ffff
EDIT:
ahhahhahaha the dub is so bad.
If I'm not mistaken, XP had 4 layers with one of those layers being events. VX always had 3 layers, with the third layer being events. Looking at the image, the Ace seems very similar in layers to VX, so unless I'm mistaken, the 3 layers you are seeing is the same as VX, since the third layer is handled with events.

Finally decided to test out the old demo since it was still sitting on my computer. Didn't play much since it's being redone, but the little I did play was very impressive. Great eye for detail!
