In many ways, Chris’ sentiments most directly reflect my own, so I will lead off with those. So, this review will be somewhat different – a collaborative effort in the spirit of making an RPG if you will.

Most game development these days comes from teams, and several people on our team had a chance to kick the tires on this software and share their thoughts with me. The trend of having things conveniently located in the panels or as a right-click context menu continues for making speedy additions to your map. The end result is a familiar-feeling piece of software with a good number of improvements that do not completely change how you make your RPG games, but should by and large streamline how you go about it. While certainly different from RPG Maker VX Ace, the number of changes are not as substantial as the leap from 2003 to XP. Where does RPG Maker MV fall on those two scales? Somewhere in between. Other leaps such as to RPG Maker XP included completely reworked visuals and the introduction of the Ruby scripting system that allows potential RPG creators increased flexibility.

Sometimes the series makes incremental improvements, such as the jump from RPG Maker 2000 to 2003 which had a change in how the combat system was viewed while largely relying on the mechanics of the 2000 version. You use tilesets to create maps and fill them with characters and events to help build a playable environment that includes common RPG functionality such as character conversations, turn-based combat and exploration. The basic structure remains largely the same. As the longest running user of the RPG Maker software on our team (dating back to the untranslated RPG Maker 95 by ASCII Corporation), I have seen the series change a great deal over the years. While I personally enjoy those kinds of features, for me it is more about the systems employed in actually making the games. The production process is the same as before, a mattering of packing your game up and choosing platform, making it an easy task.
exe files for windows, but also outpus for Mac, Android, iOS and even HTML for use in we browsers. Additionally, the different ways you can produce your game is truly impressive, offering you the usual. For one, the creation tool has expanded to the Mac operating system, branching out from being PC-only. One of the most notable changes or additions to this version of RPG Maker is the attempt to make it more widely available – both to those building the games as well as those who would play them.
