The newest version of the classic do-it-yourself RPG software is hitting the market. Digitally Downloaded writes "RPG Maker VX Ace is essential software. It allows for people of any skill to come up with their own dream game, and it’s robust and powerful enough that it’s possible to do a lot with it."
The latest Humble Bundle packs several RPG Maker games, Skyborn, Ara Fell, plus a bunch of DLC.
The Humble Software Bundle: RPG Maker is now live. It features software to help you build your own role-playing games, including RPG Maker XP, RPG Maker VX, RPG Maker VX Ace, and RPG Maker MV, along with unique character and music assets to set your creations apart.
Motherboard writes: "Everyone that loves games has thought, at some point in their life, “Wow, I would love to make a game one day!” And now there are dozens of programs and tools that make the process a bit easier. From Game Maker and Construct 2 for 2D game development, to Unity and Unreal for larger projects. RPG Maker is a very easy and popular tool, but it comes with a stigma: people often think any game made with the program is an easy-bake, color-by-numbers project."
Hmmm, I've got RPG Maker VX and I really love it, I'm slightly limited in some aspects which I kind of wish to go beyond, yet I'm not sure if it's worth buying this if I already have VX. o_o
