When is VXA released?

Just curious as to when we'll be able to use it, as I haven't seen any mention of a release date so far.

i guess its december 15 in japanese

Nothing on an English release then? That's pretty disappointing.

Yep, very.

Rpgmakerweb confirmed the english releaase on their bllog, but doesn't have release date yet.

This sounds pretty good. It appears that they've fixed a lot of issues XP users didn't like with VX. I'm pretty keen on trying it out... when it comes out in English.

So has anyone found out yet when the English release is?

It's been announced that there will be an English release, but as of yet there hasn't been a date given.

Darn, I was hoping for a date to look forward to. Waiting blind isn't fun...

Closest thing we have is an English patch. yuyubabe gave me the address somewhere in this board...

February for 89.99$
There'll be at least around 50% Discount for VX owners (last time I heard) and discount vouchers

Source?

There are no news of any release date or discount vouchers on the official site and they have not sent to my knowledge any emails informing VX owners of any discounts toward VX Ace.

It's in the facebook of RPGMakerWeb
As for the release date...let's just say that I have other sources for that I can't directly say :X

50% discount for VX owner? Now, that's a day one buy. Was that also said on their facebook?
Sincerely

yes 45$ is what we estimate for those who own vx

The folks over at rpgmakerweb.com are holding a contest in which users of XP and VX submit a 3-5 minute long cutscene. Submissions will be voted upon by fans, and the winner will receive a spot in the English RPG Maker VX Ace beta. This will grant the winner early access to Ace in English, as well as being offered a free full copy once it is released! For more information, you can click here. Submissions must be turned in by January 3rd at 11:59PM EST.

Good luck!

or for those super lazy people:


Here are the rules:

Make a single cutscene using either RPG Maker VX or RPG Maker XP.
The cutscene should be between 3 and 5 minutes long.
The cutscene should be an original scene from an original story.
The cutscene can be at any point within a larger story.
The cutscene should be understandable without seeing the larger story.
The cutscene can use any special features you wish for it, just properly credit for them (graphics/scripts/etc.)
The cutscene should not have battles or other portions with player control with the exception of button presses to continue messages if you use them.
Simulated battles with no player input are fine.
The cutscene should be compressed as an RM game WITHOUT encryption. I want to be able to see how you did everything. I should be able to start the game, hit new game, and watch a cutscene.
Do NOT include RTP when you compress your cutscene. Try to keep your file size as small as possible. Remove any resources not used in the cutscene.
One submission per person.
All Entries should be emailed to community@rpgmakerweb.com with the title “Let’s Make a Scene Entry” before January 3rd 11:59PM EST. The file will need to be uploaded to file sharing site such as mediafire and the link sent in the email. (please for my sanity stay away from the upload sites with three billion ads and a likelihood of infecting my computer).
Judges will determine the top 8 entries, based on visual composition, writing, musical feel, and overall cohesiveness, which will be voted on by you, the fans, between January 5th and January 7th. The winner will be announced on January 8th.

The winner will receive: RPG Maker VX Ace + Early Release.

Questions? Go to the blog

Oh, thank goodness! I did not want to pay 90$ or whatnot for pretty much the same game with some added features. This, I can live with.

Alright, that gave me an idea.

I will make a battle system in a day that breaks none of the rules and requires no player input to progress forward other than to display a message. Thus making it a simulated battle.

I hope it does not get rejected (It probably will).

Just want to say that my cutscene got into the top 8 of this contest. I would appreciate if everyone took a look at it and voted on their favorite, whether it's mine or someone elses. ^^ (For those interested, it's also a sneak peak into my current project, Perchance to Dream!)
