Hopefully this will be the edition where they start getting more aggressively ambitious to really make some inroads for quality and overall progress.

Mobile, three layers, high resolution. Looks like we're finally getting the RPG Maker we deserve*.

*VX's style and RTP are a disappointment but nobody should be using RTP anyway.

Maturity, bitches.
Low resolution should be an option. Makes it easier to make your own custom graphics if you can draw small pixelly things.

RPG Maker for Mac OS X... I thought I'd never see that. Very nice!
I've been using RPG Maker VX for Windows through Splashtop on my MacBook Air in the meanwhile. Not best, but since my PC is connected to my living room TV, I don't have a better option.

I'm wondering if Vita is under supported devices. Could be a nice engine for very small indie devs. I remember a questionnaire released few years ago where they've asked (among other things) which platform you would like to be able to export games to and how much you would pay for such addition to RM VX. Vita was one of the available answers if I remember correctly.

I'm sure it is. Other RPG makers already had different resolutions as options, there just wasn't anything above 800x600 iirc.

As others said, it was about 3 months between VX and Ace. And since those came out, RPG Maker has blown up in popularity in the west, in big parts because of the rise of indie games, YouTubers, and some fantastic RPG Maker-made games (such as Ib, Witch's House, OFF, To The Moon, Yume Nikki, Corpse Party, etc.) taking off, so they likely want to deliver it to their established base timely.

I need to see more as the small list of details leave some questions. It sounds like the biggest deals are multi-platform support and high resolutions, which DON'T GET ME WRONG, both of those are a big deal and two of my most requested features, but I'm kind of hoping their will be new cool stuff in the engine as it sounds like developing is pretty much the same from the details and the RTP in the screens look like VX and Ace's RTP. Much more to see, though.

Neat, native side battle support is welcome. A little disappointed they're not updated the look of it at all. Oh well.

Any sprite artists want to partner up to make a game?

Huh. The ability to make for mobile? That'll be a gamechanger for RPG Maker.

When's Marvel Humble Bundle?

Cant wait to get my hands on this! I'm in the middle of creating assets and writing the story for a game on VX Ace, but I'm probably going to suspend the development portion of it until MV comes out state side...I'm probably thinking there will be a new version of RGSS with MV as well.

RPGM2000/2003 were the bees knees. I'm guessing the new side battle system is similar to that of 2003?

I was hoping they'd make a new 3D RPG Maker eventually, like RPG Maker 2 for PS2. Place different shapes with customisable textures, you'd be able to make some goofy fun stuff with that.

Support for mobile is cool.

I wish there will be something "big" that'll shake things up though. This seems like another entry in the stagnant "V" series though...

Omg I'm glad I saw this before it fell off the first page. This is great news. I've been making ideas for RPG maker games ever since high school with friends(mid 2000s). Even recently put some of those notebooks of ideas up on Google Docs for purposes such as these. Love me some RPG maker.

I love messing around with VX Ace. Almost "done" with a project too.

The inclusion of side view is loooong overdue.

Maybe ill get back into this, rpg maker was always fun, used to have little game jams with a buddy, where we would make the intro and 1st dungeon and play each others stuff.

Dont have time to read right now, but are they still using ruby? Or is it something new now?

2000 is still my favorite and where my favorite games are, but Im willing to give this one a shot if the engine is versatile and its able to make games for mobile.

Side views have been possible for a while in rpg maker. You just need to know how to work with scripts.

It was the default in 2003.
Then it was removed.
XP had a higher resolution. VX/Ace reduced the resolution.
XP had the most layers for mapping. Then VX had the least.
Not to mention the limits for pictures and stats and all that stuff has been all over the place.
...

Has Game Freak been making RPG Maker?

Oh my... I might want to get this. Curious about the multi device support. Are we talking mobile or more of a master version that supports home console and PC releases? I'll keep an eye on this.

It's probably RM2K nostalgia, but there's potential in making a pretty decent game.

•Support for both touch controls and mouse controls.
•Big increase on the limit of database items.
•Maps are automatically three-layered.
•Games run in high resolution.
