How good is MV?

[FranklinX 37]

Hi guys! It's been too long since we last talked! I've been looking into MV and start to restart my project on it. My mind is fresh with new ideas on how to improve my current project. I may have to start all over from the beginning. How good is the engine?

Aside from the mapping, I think it's great. The mapping is better than Ace at least.

Depends who you are and what you're trying to achieve, of course. Silly Franky, If you have no plan and just wana kill time, then any engine can satisfy your needs.

Its an improvement in every way to all the other rpg makers except the mapping. i dont know what pot they have been smoking lately when making the mapping systems but it just sucks.... still better than xv/ace tho as bob said.

Everyone is saying that it's improved in every way except mapping. How much more improved is the eventing, out of curiosity?

Using javascript is kind of like a depreciation in code quality, but opens up a world of opportunities and its much easier to code in, particularly because you can examine objects in depth.

 

I mean, every decent coding language has an object. You know, a class where you instantiate an object (of the class). You can examine all of its variables, all of its functions, at any point. That's a very beautiful thing in coding. If you want to make games and not learn to code, I'd like to remind you that life is short and you're wastin' a bunch of it.
