RPG Maker MV will release later this year for PC and Mac.After several versions that only used a special interface for inputting commands, RPG Maker started supporting actual scripting languages. Most sizes have increased by 1.5 times, meaning you’ll now get a better display of animation and visuals.
Walking characters and other items have gone from a basic size of 32×32 to 48×48. RPG Maker MV’s program automatically switches between the upper and lower parts, so you can easily make three-layered presentations.Īnd finally, the above is a comparison between RPG Maker VX Ace (to the left) that had a 544×416 resolution, and a look at RPG Maker MV’s 816×624 resolution. This comparison does not include features from DLCs or custom scripts or plugins unless otherwise stated. Previously, transparent parts made through upper-level tiles were displayed, but you could not replace them. This is an eight-way comparison of the 8 base programs in the PC RPG Maker series, RPG Maker 95, RPG Maker 2000, RPG Maker 2003, RPG Maker XP, RPG Maker VX, RPG Maker VX Ace, RPG Maker MV, and RPG Maker MZ. Thist ime around, you’ll have more to play with, with a new maximum of 2,000 items. Previously, RPG Maker’s database consisted of up to 999 items for things like skills, items, weapons, armor, enemy characters, and enemy groups.
Additionally, if you make something for PC, it’ll support mouse control along with keyboard or gamepad options. You’ll get to simply travel with your party in the game by pressing a part of the screen and they’ll go there.
Now that you’ll get to make games for smartphone and tablet, that means the engine will support touch screen controls. Up until now, RPG Maker mostly featured front-view battles, but RPG Maker MV will add a side-view option for the first time.
This will also be the series first time since its beginning in March 1997 with RPG Maker 95 that it will also be available to use on Mac devices, too. 4Gamerdetails some of the new features that will increase the overall quality of games made through RPG Maker MV.Īs previously reported, RPG Maker MV is a multiplatform engine that can make games for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and HTML5 games.
