Marked 197 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 Okay, its about time something about the new RPG Maker was posted here. The official English website: http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/tkool/products...g/download.html Download the sample video from that page. The English version will be released February 2008. Thats not long away. From the sample video, it looks like a demo will be available from download.com, as with the RMXP. Is is just me, or this a new RPG Maker released for every version of Windows? 2000, XP, VX, sounds like it to me. I hope VX will run on Windows XP. All screenshots and videos are running it on Vista. Lets discuss this new RPG Maker. Personally, I think this will be the best yet. Seems obvious being the newer version, but there is a lot criticism over the graphics. I have been monitoring the features and updates, and it really is impressive. And RGSS 2? I got no idea what that is, but i know Leon's going to love it. You will see a lot of changes for VX around here in the future. I plan to add VX forums, download categories, and gallery categories. We are going to be an RMXP/VX forum. Also, we may discuss this. Any objections, or this what everyone wants? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 55 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 To be honest, I find VX's graphics a major turn off. Also, the resolution is quite small (yes, smaller than XP's 640x480 window). XP has that relational size feel. For instance, a cow isnt the size of a human. As for it being playable on Windows XP, the minimum requirements says XP, but recommended is Vista. In addition, if the only thing turning you toward it is features such as the standard 'dash' feature, or the vehicle feature, you can find scripts to those. The only thing i think you cannot script is the 60 fps. Personally, between the smart layering, automatic dungeon creator, and how the graphics are going to be 'downgraded', in my eyes, it is taking some of the fun out of it. Then again, most of my pleasure is derived from the scripting, so we'll see about this 'RGSS2'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Yeah thats a good point, but I think for those who really hate the graphics, they can just import the RMXP RTP. And you could use scripts to make it so you can import the Charactersets normally. I think they've gone back to the old version charactersets and made it so you can you have more than one character set per graphic. I think with this new version, there will be a lot more completed games. And that is partly to do with the graphics. This version seems so much easier to create things, so I think we will see larger games from members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaacsol 10 Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Well, if you look at one of the screenshots below the Tileset palette there are 5 tabs labeled ABCDE, I hope that they are mapping layers, have 2 more will take mapping to a whole new level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted December 2, 2007 yeah, it sure would. I will post a link on the forum as soon as its available from download.com. What do you think of adding new forums for VX here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah, that awesome! New RPG Maker VX does looks good, but I'll stick to RMXP. Maybe and not, first I need to test it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkDragon 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Okay here's the thing : RMVX pwnz and that's that :P One of the most important things about it, is how smooth it got. 60 FPS man ! that would make it much much faster for scripters ! They won't have to worry about lagging like before anymore ! And the graphics are just fine. But that's only me, some people might hate it. But then the RMXP RTP is free to use and you can download it from the enterbain home site anytime.. Another thing is the new RGSS. If the FPS got to 60, I'd be really surprised if they didn't change the whole thing ! And I seriously hope they make a more readable RGSS library than the one they made with RMXP @_@ As for the forums, I seriously think we should make this an RMVX site. You see the main reason people wouldn't come to this site because they have other much bigger communitys, But the only active RMVX community right now is rpgmakervx.com, and they have just started ! I say let's start off right away, now we can really start fresh and good ! And with the awesome job Marked did with the IPB or whatever you guys call it, people will surely prefer this forum than the others.. That's all I had to say. And good luck ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Shadow 14 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 I don't like the graphics VX has, so Im going to stick with XP for awhile, as long as VX have a import function. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 It is pretty much guaranteed that RMVX will have an import function, so I wouldnt be surprised if they released some sort of RMVX RMXP-RTP set, so people will be using the RMXP graphics. I think they could be a lot worse, I'm not one of the people who really hate them. As for the forums, I seriously think we should make this an RMVX site. You see the main reason people wouldn't come to this site because they have other much bigger communitys, But the only active RMVX community right now is rpgmakervx.com, and they have just started ! That community is quite large though. Things are complicated here as we have just come back really. Last week it was only me on the forums... but you definitely see some new RMVX stuff around here. We will not become an RMVX forum, we will be a RMXP/RMVX forum. And with the awesome job Marked did with the IPB or whatever you guys call it, people will surely prefer this forum than the others.. Some people are used to Vbulletin than IPB, and the only thing that will make this forum active is the members, and the activity and content they provide, not fancy mods, unfortunately. I'm quite experienced with IPB, but it wont bring activity. Hope you like the place though ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkDragon 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 That community is quite large though. Exactly man ! and they just started like... 2 weeks ago ! I'm pretty sure that most of people will dump RMXP to VX... I think you should at least make RMVX the main discussion and make RMXP some few sub forums.

Leon 55 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 DarkDragon, you msut bear in mind that not everyone is going to switch over to VX, and those who do, won't do it immediately. I mean, if I have to rewrite all my scripts for VX, I will never switch over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 I've some posts on other forums, and so far they're saying that they just need to be modified, and not re-written. RGSS 2 is going to have all different structures, so who knows. There are already scripts in progress. Well actually I have only seen one, which seems strange considering the program isn't released yet. But it looks like most members in RMXP communities are taking to VX really quickly.
