Get it while it's hot! It's in Japanese though. XD

[aakurtz]

So whats so good about VX?  Stream lined options and better res?  Is it really a jump from XP and worth the 99$?

Hell no. No RPG Maker is worth $99. That's why we torrent things.

[aakurtz]

Borderline perfect answer.  Should people that want to start making a new game wait for this version or just continue using XP?  Is it that much of a jump?

[Zylos]

What exactly is different about VX compared to the other RPG makers?

[Revo]

Heh, I'm just gonna stick with RMXP. It's trusty, there's a lot of resources for it, and it's just cool.

Just as a side note: I'm actually going back in time. Started working with RM2k3 yesterday.  I'm a traditionalist.

[Irock]

So far I can say...

Better than XP.

Can't just yet. My building's stupid server is having problems tonight, and the page won't load. 

[aakurtz]

All this vague "lol! try it yourself, its dope! " stuff worries me.  I just don't trust it.

Its good. You can use multiple tilesets in one room, you have auto-overlap so there's no worrying about layers, rtp is  way better than the last one and is pure eye-candy. Plus, it seems like (though the editable versions of this feature, like many others, are not implemented at the time of this release) you can manipulate battle backgrounds to sway and jiggle. Furthermore, framereate increased, fullscreen is much prettier and feels more like a videogame.

Other than that it is difficult to judge because at this point they havent implemented half of the features yet.

By the way, they've not yet updated any of the RTP sounds, and minimal RTP is included.

That help?

Yes it it. But I can't read anything. 

[Leventhan]

That's pretty quick, but I'll just wait for my boys to "get it".
Hahahahaha

[aakurtz]

Will this new version be able to open files from XP?

[Irock]

Will this new version be able to open files from XP?

Nope. That's what XP is for.

Also, it is quite awesome.  The mapping is excellent once you get used to it, and about the RTP, all I can say is wow. :]

I <3 the look of it so much more than XP, and so far I like the program in general a lot better.   Just wish I could read the events. XD

I have just downloaded it, and I shall now give you this prophecy:

"In late february and early march, I foresee countless numbers of people trying to download keygens for this wonderful but $99 program."

[Esmeralda]

"In late february and early march, I foresee countless numbers of people trying to download keygens for this wonderful but $99 program."

I had the exact same prophecy

I wonder though, this program doesn't have the same activation system XP had, and if it did the full RTP would be there. So like, if you give them 99 bux do they give you a CD or sth ?_?

Hm...we'll just have to wait for the program to officially be released to find out. But I can't really see them mailing out CD's to everyone who buys it as opposed to an activation code of some sort. It lowers their overall profit by using CD's.

[Darico]

CDs are only like 40p (80cents) so it isnt a huge loss, and think of the money they would make from all the people who have to buy it because they can't steal it lol. Obviously you have the shipping costs but they wont be amazingly high if shipping in bulk and the extra money will still cover it!

*"Download Complete"* Yay

[Zylos]

In that case, let us all join together in prayer:

"Please, oh God, don't let Enterbrain use CD's for this awesome program."

[modern algebra]

I am downloading. I wonder what the scripting will be like

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

Wow, in the trial you can't save your project.

[Snailer]

FUCK,
I was about to say this...

you beat me Irokman

Btw... how are you people doin !?

Nope. That's what XP is for.

Er, sauce on that info? I can't imagine they'd do that when it'd be so much easier for them to allow a conversion option, and in doing so attract a far larger number of consumers. If they exclude the feature then people who started games in XP will stay with XP, because they don't want to start over. Why not just reel 'em in?

[Revo]

I tried it out. I've figured out what most of the event commands are  just by screwing around with them.

That explains the event commands.

[Lominisio]

Looks good. I'll wait until it comes out in english and then I'll torrent it though.

[Inferno]

this game is pretty nice eye apealing but is there scripts to change the way of battle,for the trial and the offical is comming out in feburary

[djkdjl]

The Goods:
1) oh finally scrolling panorama and looping maps are back.
2) Two handed weapon wielding is back too!
3) icons for status effects are awesome,,no more need to rely on the color.
4) suprisingly, rtp music sounds pretty good.
5) armors can be given a REGEN effect

The Bads:
1) no more tileset tab in the database
2) rtp characters are tiny
3) the price is 100 bux

[JAP]

No more tileset tab?? Does that mean we cannot use custom tilesets?

[Shibuya]

Hmmm.... well when you're mapping, there are a few tabs you could click, like : A, B, C, D, E. Each of these tabs are different tilesets. You could change them just by making a new tileset and name it as TilesetA or whichever you want, then you would just paste it in the graphics folder of your game.

Also....

It's a tileset for RMXP 

[JAP]

OoO

I see, I see... Well, that's quite... XD

[marty2008]

Not many people are going to buy it at $99.

It is not worth it to buy. Too high of a price!!!
