RPG Maker?

Zaden · 04-21-2010, 04:11 PM

I have been getting some ideas and I was wondering if anyone could recommend what they think is the best choice of game for making an RPG and possibly how I could acquire it.

I played something called "Super_Dante_RPG_Maker_2" on a Super Nintendo emulator, but it has flaws and the mapmaker sucks when trying to make houses in a town.

Any suggestions?

RPG Maker 2000/2003/XP/VX.

There's probably a few sites you could get one of those from. VX is the latest version, and has the most features, I think.

I created a game with RPG Maker 2000, and it was okay. I partially adapted it for RM2k3, and it was a bit better.

XP was tons more flexible, since you can edit the executable code. It was in ruby, though, and all of the code comments were in Japanese =/

I had RPG Maker on the PSX. Was pretty basic, think the worst was sprite making, since I don't recall there being cel importing to create similar sprites. Battle system was pretty much Dragon Quest.

Wario Ware DIY had more options than it.

Only played the **** PS3 version.

Will be looking into VX when I get my Bootcamp/A Windows Laptop

If you're looking for platform independence, there are a few Flash-based RPG frameworks out there.

There's the OHRRPGCE, too.

I think this actually depends on the spice. What is it made of?
