Nexluxlucis 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 Well found this place a couple of days ago and registered, so far I have just been browsing looking at everything. Also I was wondering if RPG maker XP was better than VX, I currently only have VX. I haven't really started any projects yet. Just figured I would post a hello since I am new. I experimented a little with older versions of rpg maker but never got to in depth into things, best I did was make a little 1hr long game with a useless giant world map :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexluxlucis 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 If your new, stick with VX. It's less complex compared to XP. And welcome to the forums. =) thanks for the advice. I haven't done much on VX but it seems a little constrained so far. Though that could be because I'm not very proficient at spriting/mapping/eventing or really any of the skills except maybe writing the story. Though I do like trying to balance the game play between character types, it has always bugged me that in almost every rpg I have played there seems to always be atleast 1 class or character that is completely overpowered compared to the rest. Also I noticed ya'll have some pretty nice scripts posted here. Seems like a pretty nice forum compared to the others I have checked out for rpg maker.

Polraudio 122 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 Welcome If you need anything i mean it anything at all just ask. If its help with a computer problem or RMXP/VX definitely ask. I honestly think XP is better, but that's a matter of opinion :P But, yeah, we're one of the better forums for RPG Maker -nods- VX is better for starters i would say. Then go try XP out.

Arkbennett 16 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 I agree with Polraudio. I think XP is a better program, but VX is better in terms of learning. And yeah, we're pretty good - we have a lot of specialized members. Hell, one of our admins has serious skill at making battlers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisage 31 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 Welcome to Unlimited. XP and VX are both good in their own ways, I decided to get both since I couldn't figure out which one would be better for me :P. @Polraudio: Really, VX is better for beginners? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkness366 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 Hello, and welcome to the site. as for which program is better, overall I prefer RPGMaker XP since as far as I know the mapping system is way more extensive since each map can have a different tileset of any size... assuming you get past setting all the parameters on all the tiles. However, for a beginner, I think VX is better since it has all the quick events. Overall, just depends on which one you are more comfortable with and I used XP for awhile before trying VX, and I think XP looks a little better. anys, once again, welcome to the site. Have fun, ask questions if any come up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexluxlucis 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 Welcome to RU. I prefer XP to, the mapping in VX makes me mad. interestingly enough that is what has been annoying me, i dont remember which version i had previously used but it seems VX isn't a good in that aspect. Thanks everyone for the offers of help if I need it, I'll be sure to ask if something comes up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
