When the resource packs are sold at a discount, do the artists still make the same amount of money off them or do their profits get cut with the price?

Everybody's cuts (creators, Steams, and ours) are based on percentage, so yes they get less per sale during sales (as do we), but the increased volume is waaay more than enough to compensate for it.

(While I can't release actual sales numbers, I'll just say: Holy crap during the Steam Sale this summer our sales volume was killer.)

Discounts cut into the profits of the artist, sadly.

But the huge increase in sales volumes makes up for it and then some..

If I purchase RPG Maker VX Ace through steam, does that mean Ill have to connect to steam when I want to use it? Rather than just have it as a seperate product? Im using the trial right now and was going to buy very soon lol

Steam has an offline-modus and you can use Ace while in offline-mode. I did that when I was away with my notebook for a while.

However since steam always tries to go online first, it'll be a delay of about a minute after booting before you can switch steam to offline (you'll have to wait for the timeout, then steam asks automatically)

Well, that doesnt sound too bad. For the savings I think a possible minutes or so delay is worth it. Thank you for the speedy reply

Can resource packs from Steam be used with a regular version of Ace?

all resource packs are only pictures to be imported into projects, so of course they can also be imported and used in the regular versions.

Woah, this brings the price to just above £15!
