RPG Maker MV

From Siliconera:

The do-it-yourself RPG maker series is getting its latest entry with RPG Maker MV, a preview for this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine confirms.

 

While details are still light for the time being, the scan shows that RPG Maker MV will be supported by multiple devices. It will also have side-view battles, mouse and touch screen controls, a larger database, and three-layered map.

 

RPG Maker MV is in development for PC and Mac.

Going back to layers for mapping is awesome, and it's nice to see they're finally bringing back sideview battles as a default.

Well, if the price of it is around the same or higher as VX Ace, i'll wait for it to go on sale before I buy it. Can't wait for it, though 

That's pretty rad, hopefully it will be a step up from VX like it was to XP. VX to VX Ace added a lot of new features but at the end of the day it was still the same program.

I'm hoping they keep RGSS3. I don't want to have to wait for all new scripts again. .-.

Highly doubtful considering the huge changes each version has brought (except for VX > VXA). Personally, I hope they move to Ruby version 2 and make RGSS4. We'll be doing a bunch of script porting, but I'm sure the new version will be awesome.

Ummmmmmm

Mobile gaming!

D-Did I see side-view battles being a main feature again...?

THANK U

I honestly didn't think there would be another.



It looks like they've mixed the layers with the shadow stuff from vx/vxa.
It looks like, if you have some on the top layer, and nothing in the middle, it will cast a shadow.


(Sorry for the low resolution, it was the best I could find.)

Release date: May 2016

[unconfirmed. Total speculation]

uhhhhhhhhhh are they keeping the same rtp graphics? ._.

uhhhhhhhhhh are they keeping the same rtp graphics? ._.

They kind of did with vx to vxa.

I really hope it get's a lot of improvement, like animation frames as many as someone likes to have.
Then Pixel Movement, with pixel precise collision boxes.
I also hope, you can make real mini games.
Like a jump'n'run mini game and the normal game is a RPG or Action RPG. Possible with the GG Maker on Steam.

If the pricing isn't too high, I buy it anyway. (\s/)

Can't wait to pirate this.

Can't wait to pirate this.

The only thing I ever pirated is...
Better not talk about that.

But I really hope they improve. Because it will be for sure another 60€ and for the same amount you can get GG Maker, which has a lot of options.
And GG Maker could be tried out for free, it's called Engine001. (\s/)

Scanned pages from Famitsu and a brief summary of features has been released. Also, larger pictures from development.

It appears that character sets and so on are being increased in size (x1.5). Sprites and tilesets will be 48x48.

48x48... not 64x64?
why do you keep doing this enterbrain? 544x416 isn't a real resolution.

So at 48x48, what is the resolution going to be, something like 816x624? 960x720?
Games running at 720 would be pretty cool.

You can back and forth from front or side view battles? Nicely done.

Yeah, the new resolution will now be 816x624. So basically no current VX-type tileset will work in MV unless there is a backwards compatibility mode.

EDIT: I really hope the character generator outputs side-view battlers. That would be neat (and time saving).

 

wat

that's mega kawaii ;o;

[Oh My Gawd!!!!

Three Layer returning, Bigger sprites, side-view battles returning. 2016 . . . time to get back to game making when it comes out!!!

 

It's so beautiful ~

O_O

This is legitimately the first time I've ever really liked RTP sprites. They're awesome. ;o;

I'm looking forward to seeing what else there is.

I hope it's easy to pirate when it does come out.
Then a few years from now I hope it goes on sale, or is in a humble bundle.

here's hoping they make the dumbass registry mistake they made last time

yes pls

Product page is up, but no new information as of yet. Might be another release of information over the weekend.

RPG Maker 95, 2000, 2003, XP
Ok, making sense. B)
Rpg maker VX... wut
What does this even stand for? Vista X?
Now MV? Modern Version? Mobile Version? Metro Version?

Cool. I'm glad they're doing a Mac version and going back to a layer system.

I dunno why they don't just let you use any tile size and resolution you want though.

Oh that's it!
MV, Mac Version!

Oh that's it!
MV, Mac Version!

1 RPG Maker Big MV for me please.

I'm hyping, I'm hyping and the Hype Train doesn't stop!

Why won't you come sooner?! WHY!?

T-that actually makes sense.

 

Is that the official comic of the maker?

RPG Maker switching to JavaScript and HTML5 from Ruby, RPG Maker games playable in a web browser ... and more information released!

java? . . .
this is a joke right . . .

 . . .
 . . . . . .

EDIT: Screw my eyes in the ass. I was just starting to understand ruby.

EDIT2: "No more hidden classes!" Oh... :o
I like this though.

JavaScript, not Java.  o:   To be honest, I picked up JavaScript easier than Ruby.

Those are different things?
Oh. Stupid names confusing me. >:|

Nice to see you can just un-check what you want on your menu, too. Lots of little things. Also ...

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkqElw1KXzY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkqElw1KXzY</a>

Beta-test pixel movement and smooth walking animation.


EDIT: Here is a Q&A with a beta-tester (Archeia)
 
Q : What is the default movement of the on-screen character?
A: It's a 48x48 grid. But since the scripts/plugins are now super flexible, you should be able to adjust it.

Q: Can you transfer existing games made in RPG Maker VX/VXA to RPG Maker MV?
A: Not possible.

Q: Does the RPG Maker MV game executable run as a 64-bit or 32-bit program?
A: 32-bit.

Q: Do you need to develop and/or build your game on a Mac in order to deploy to the Mac or iOS platforms? Or can you do it from a Windows version as well?
A: Nope. You can do it in both OS.

Q: The Luna-Engine is listed as one of the scripts on the product page picture. Does this mean that RPG Maker MV will be RGSS-compatible with the past makers?
A: Nope. This is a test for a custom plugin. In short, remaking Luna Engine to MV.

Q: Can you go higher than the stated 816x624 resolution?
A: Higher Definition and Resolution is supported through plug-ins. A resolution of 1920x1080 has been tested.

java? . . .
this is a joke right . . .

RPG Maker switching to JavaScript and HTML5 from Ruby

gods have mercy

I have shamed my famiry by not knowing the difference between java and javascript.
I just want to terr you arr I'm very sorry. I wirr now commit sudoku. Goodbye.

Mac Mac Mac Mac!

I'm sorry, I'm excited.

Maaaaaaaan, I'm really stoked to be able to "uncheck" menu options, too! I always had to fiddle around with those in the past when I wanted to make a game with custom menus. I wonder if the overall layout of the menu will be different, too? They've pretty much kept that the same forever.

Those are different things?
Oh. Stupid names confusing me. >:|

I don't get how Java and Javascript are different, either. o_o Aren't they similar? Like, knowing one can help you learn the other? I guess I'll find out, since I'll soon be taking Java programming classes at college. Three semesters of that will surely dabble in JavaScript. @_@ Maybe yuyu will finally be a scripter! :<

The two are unrelated and I'd be very surprised if a Java class involved any JavaScript. But once you learn your first programming language, learning another language is quite elementary in comparison.

Harr ...



JavaScript was the second language I learned back in college, and I picked it up far easier than Ruby. I think you'll be fine, Yuyu.

Ohhh, I see. The link Aco provided says that JavaScript is a little easier than Java? Regardless, I may try to teach myself JavaScript while I'm learning Java anyways. I learned basic html when I was a kid, so maybe I'm not totally hopeless as a programmer. :B

I'm actually supposed to take an entry level C++ class, and then I plan on taking two courses in Java. Otherwise, I can continue to take C++ for two more classes. Java seems like it might be a little more fun, though.

I've always had my doubts about trying to learn how to program, but this actually sounds really fun! *___* Maybe I can make an actual program for my sister's face maker. :}

Ohhh, I see. The link Aco provided says that JavaScript is a little easier than Java?

A lot easier.

I'm actually supposed to take an entry level C++ class, and then I plan on taking two courses in Java.

JavaScript has a similar syntax to Java, so after tinkering with that you might find it even easier to tackle. JS is fairly easy to grasp, really. Even basic exposure to C will help out.

Totally going to learn it asap! Maybe now I'll be that nerd helping everyone with script problems, instead of that nerd asking other people for help with script problems. >:}

I didn't like Java at all. Hopefully it's more fun, or at the very least informative.

Where is this "customize the menu with a click" business? I'm not seeing it. Am I that blind?

Under "Window Color", it has "Menu Commands"

if code [
alpha xf000-00034
alpha xf000-05272
alpha xf000-00848

See i leanrd how to code. i cant wait for MV so i can start making scripts

T'is is fun.
It's certainly going to be interesting

*hugs*

I'm glad that they're making a new RPG Maker. It looks pretty cool, and the plugin manager is a great feature.

But RIP Ruby

Hmm...
What's the 'Types' for, I wonder?

I guess elemental types are going to be a bit more complicated.

http://noobist.com/reviews/rpgmaker-mv-announced/
http://noobist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/RPGMaker-MV.jpg
Toolbar speculation. I get what most of the buttons are, but there's a few I don't know about.
New, Open, Save; Cut, Copy, Paste; Undo; Edit Terrain, Edit Events; Pencil, Rectangle, Ellipse, (Fill?), Shadow; Zoom in, Zoom out, Something zoom related; Database, Scripts?, Sound Test, (Resources?); Playtest.

No regions or character creator?

EDIT: The R next to TileC might be Regions. Still don't see how to switch layers though.

I believe it was stated somewhere that the layers were "automatic". No idea what that's supposed to mean though.

Database, Scripts?, Sound Test, (Resources?); Playtest.

I think it's probably Scripting, Resources, Sound Test, Database.

R is most likely regions, considering they were opened in the tileset window in ace anyway. To be honest, I thought the character creator was pretty pointless.

So we're not really getting layers back.
I'll be nice to be able to place trees over each other without needing to use events, but I was hoping for actual layers.

It's always annoying to want to remove a building or some trees, and have to redo everything because you can't removed only the building or trees.

Checking the official site, the puzzle piece button is the Plugin Manager and the 'search' is the Event Searcher returning from RPG Maker 2003. Still doesn't explain the third zoom button, though I'm guessing it resets to default zoom or something. The paint tool next to shadow is most likely fill, no reason they'd remove that...

EDIT: Also, the RTP will be integrated into the engine (whatever that means) and layering is automatic (though I haven't seen how it works yet...)

Also, the RTP will be integrated into the engine (whatever that means)

I would assume this means you won't have to download the run-time package independently, as we've had to in the past, and it will just install itself along with the program. I'm sure the RTP will still be available on its own though, so people without the engine can still play games that require the RTP resources (read: all of them).

Don't worry Modern, I won't tease you too much as you make a mess of things again.

I want more news man. Like, man, news, man, dang.

Don't worry Modern, I won't tease you too much as you make a mess of things again.

Haha, but I need you to tease me. How else am I supposed to learn?

I have been hiding from RPg Maker community for years to learn JavaScript. Hopefully I will be able to build something in MV

Anyway, the plugin manager interface looks great. I love the parameter setting interface here. http://www.rpgmaker-mv.com/plugin-manager-javascript/

Agree 1000%



So much more straightforward than digging through scripts for parameters.

Wasn't there something about people checking out demos? What are those people up to eh.

Still curious as to how the new layering system works. I wonder if anyone's got any info...

Still curious as to how the new layering system works. I wonder if anyone's got any info...

From what I read in the MV thread at RPGMakerWeb (Official distributor of RPG Maker),
they said the new layer system is "automatic 3 layers". Not quite sure what does "automatic" mean though.

Don't worry Modern, I won't tease you too much as you make a mess of things again.

Haha, but I need you to tease me. How else am I supposed to learn?

Sounds like some variation of the Stockholm Syndrome, though I do actually try to get you addicted with some actual benefits hiding here and there.

Goddamn I am so happy about MV, it's just taking too long to come. I want it now damnit!

Ah yes, your long running game idea would probably fit perfectly with MV.
No wonder you are so happy :3

My programming professor wants to get MV. He previously wanted to get into the gaming industry and make mobile games especially, so I recommended it to him.

I think he already knows JavaScript - yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, more scripters!

Yay, more scripters
My favorite part about MV is all the old-time scripters coming at rpgmakerweb.

Is anyone willing to write up a page for this on Wikipedia?

Preorders and an in-browser sample game now available

Lots of my questions were answered by that video:

Wait. Wait wait wait.

You upload games and can play them in browser without having to download?

WHAaaaaaAT?

So, apparently there are some security concerns about HTML5 being used for that online sample game. This goes way over my head since I still use RM2K3 and I don't code, but here it is for people who have a clue:

Spoiler for:

Oh, wow, I'm late to the party! 3-layer was removed? (Hah i stuck to XP.) [I'd actually like 4 layers idkaug]


Side view and rtp looks great, I guess I'm excited!
...But I guess scripts need to be rewritten...

Oh? A possible english and japanese release at the same time?

No. That's a good thing.
Good things never happen.

m a n

I don't have a steady source of income but totally considering pre-ordering this ;~;

Third layer was removed? Where did you hear that?

It wasn't removed, it's just not directly editable I guess? They used the term "automatic". It's probably like VXA's system, but with the ability to layer things over B-E tiles, instead of just layering over A

You just click, apparently.

EDIT: Types revealed. Just the types list, but slightly better since there's now different equipment types.

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN BATTLER!



I'm going to cave and pre-order this thing soon.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I need to get the money to pre-order this darn thing.

I also wanted to save up for a few games at some point (like Bastion and eventually Arkham Knight). ;_;


2 many games

2 little moneys

Oh, it comes out on the 23rd btw.

Oh, it comes out on the 23rd btw.

Of like, February?

WOW

Same day as my Game Jam. Maybe it's a sign??

............pre-ordered

bye, bye money ;-;

Ladies and gentlemen,

we now have an empty board dedicated to MV, which will hopefully not be empty for much longer!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I pre-ordered.

It's 23rd october.
And can be pre-ordered here:

I'm not sure if I go with MV or GG Maker. Can only afford one, so I need to decide.
But it looks more interresting for professional game making in my oppinion.
But I will try out the free trail, when it's out. (\s/)

I'm getting ready to play the long game.
Pirate now, buy it when I can get it for a dollar or less.

I wait, until it get's at least 50% off.
I sadly missed the GG Maker a few days ago, because I didn't had money...
Else I probably ended up buying both... :/ (\s/)

oh snap I forgot GG maker was a thing.

What makes it different from RPG Maker?

I still have too many things to finish in RM2K3 to bother getting this...

-_-

EDIT:

GGMaker isn't tailored to making RPGs. It's a more open platform, like GameMaker. As far as I can tell, it's not very well thought of and it'd be better to use GameMaker for anything you'd want to do with it. I've never touched it though, so that's just based on what I have read.

There's a free version that I just tried out, and it's OK. Kind of a mix between GameMaker and RPGMaker, I'd say. It looks really outdated and clustered, though. ._.

So will it be out before or after it changes to 24th here in Australia?

Steam says it comes out at 10 am PDT.

GOT IT!

Downloading now ~

Preorder for the win.

Downloading

So who's who with the cover art characters?

nice

hmm , very interesting, thanks for the article !

Why is the MV section so dead? I have a major plugin problem, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one having it...

Sorry I'm kinda late to the party, but yeah rmrk is pretty close to being abandoned.
