RPG Maker VX?

[Arkbennett]

I agree with Lavata.
Some of those new and returning features are nice.
However, either the tileset sucks, or that was a bad mapper.

Those maps look like shit!

Not to sure if I want to go to VX, I'll stay on XP for a little while after it's release...
If people actually decide to use that over XP I mean.

I wonder what the music will be like..?

[Lavata]

I'm sure it was just the mapper. I find the tilesets to look quite good, actually, and they look very clean as well. What I wondering is will they let us make a description of the spell as in RPG Maker 2000. For example:

(Name) chants Flare.
A bright light engulfs the enemy!

or something similar. I would like it if we could still do that, but input longer messages.

I also hope the music is good. RPG Maker XP's was not really that bad, so i hope that this ones music is even better.

They've confirmed a Dungeon Generator.

[Leventhan]

Dungeon Generator?
Want proof!

[Sophist]

Theres been a dungeon generator since RM2k. I don't think they would just "drop" it out.

[Malson]

Yeah, but maybe this time they made one that didn't suck nuts.

[Esmeralda]

Yeah, but maybe this time they made one that didn't suck nuts.

If you knew how to use it right and not use it to make one big ass dungeon it was hella handy.

[Malson]

Yes, but what I mean is a random dungeon generator that creates a new, random dungeon each time you play. As in, the dungeon would look different each time you played.

[modern algebra]

Well, I think the purpose of the tool is just to give you ideas for the shape. I think you are supposed to flesh out the dungeon yourself. Also, Malson, I believe someone wrote a script which does that. http://www.geocities.com/geowil11/randmapgen.html It was severely limited though.

@Seaking: the feature was not available in RMXP

Anyway, English release is scheduled for February 2008. And the English page is now up: http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/tkool/products/rpgvx/eng

Also, demo video: "It's almost like cheating"

[tSwitch]

the sprites they use almost look like the Tyke template from .org

[Kokowam]

I love the accent. I guess the chest/door thing is helpful but that removes eventing use and takes out the easier getting-used to of events and such. ;-; IMO, of course.

[Leventhan]

February, huh? 

[magic2345]

Yeah, February. 

Oh, is it just me or did he say that the frontal battle system is the best?!
But the side view battle system was good though and it says RGSS 2.
Does that mean that the Ruby is upgraded?

[Leventhan]

I dunno, probably?

[SirJackRex]

I like the new character sprites, and I don't really think they look like tyke, I love the style of the RTP, makes me want to use it.
I hope it's free...

It will be... somebody will crack it, and upload it to the inter's net. But if you mean legally... it'll cost you 100$.

October 05, 2007 - Information from holloway from the Gaming World forums has recently reported the existence of RPG Maker XP's sequel, RPG Maker VX. According to his sources, Play-Asia.com has recently opened its pre-orders to RPG Maker VX. According to Tkool Newspaper, it is presumably an upgrade to RPG Maker XP, like RPG Maker 2003 was to RPG Maker 2000.

On the same site it states that RPG Maker VX been scheduled to be released on December 27, 2007 and it will be sold for a price of ¥8980 (USD $99.00 or AUD $116.31). However, there are currently no formal announcments from the developers of the RPG Maker series, Enterbrain.

The Tkool Newspaper also notes several information regarding this new program, such as the strengthening of the autotile function, increase of frame rate, and a feature that will help people that are not good at programming. This information is not confirmed.

According to Tkool Newspaper, a site which was supposed to accept pre-orders for RPG Maker VX has been deleted on the 2nd of October. However, Play-Asia.com's pre-order page still exists.

There has been many speculations on the sequel to the popular game engine RPG Maker XP, but most of them were left unconfirmed - could this be one of them? We would still have to wait for Enterbrain's official announcement.

What's your thoughts about this? I think it sounds wonderfull.

[Leventhan]

lol, that guy's voice is funny

Indeed, he must be paid $5 to say all those things.

[Kokowam]

Target audience: nerds. He definitely sounds like one.

[modern algebra]

He sounds like a bad voice actor, not a nerd. The typical nerd voice is supposed to be nasally. Or his speech should be infused with references to Star Trek.

[Esmeralda]

It's so touchy when they lower the price from 100$ to 99$ :( I really needed that spare dollah.

[Kokowam]

You're not even in America, lol.
