Excited for RPG Maker FES? (3DS)

[Andar]

it might be their NDA - japanese companies usually impose very strict NDA's on their people, for example Degica was not allowed to post anything about MV without clearing it with the japanese company first, which resulted in them not being able to answer questions unless the same question had been asked and answered in japan first.

Can we sell games made with it?

 

[Benny Jackdaw]

Well it looks like it's finally in the stores, but I'm unsure of the prices. I hear it's more expensive in the states than it is in other countries, but I also see free key products, but I downloaded a few and they didn't do anything. Of course I didn't download the update yet, so I'll do that tomorrow.

Yeah it was more expensive in Canada too. 60 bucks instead of the usual 40 for a 3DS game. Do we know how much the downloadable content will cost?

Don't have 3DS = Don't care.
I guess, ahaa

Say, anyone got any RPGs to show off? I got one I'm working on that's somewhat of a continuous set of fights, but you play as a monster to fight "heroes." It's called "Boss Stories" if anyone wants to check it out.

I'm like 1/20th into my game. I'll probably have something by the end of the year.

Taking a concept I was trying to make for RPG Maker 1 on the PS. But now it's much better 'cause I'm, like, much better. Maybe it's a good thing I never finished it on RPG Maker 1.

Say, can someone explain something about the sprites.

The default monster sprites all seem to be original, however I notice a few of the Modern/Sci-Fi free monsters are from other RPG Makers, including RPG Maker VX, VX Ace, DS, DS+, etc. I also notice there's a Sengoku set with most of the monsters from the Japanese Set (that you have to pay for) on this site(Which honestly I'd still pay for because some of the monsters I wanted are not included in the Fes Pack). Where do all these sprites originate from and do you authorize the use of sprites you own to this company?

RPG Maker Series are known to reuse some assets (e.g. the sound effects of Rm2k/3 being used in VX/VXAce and MV). And you seem to be confused so lemme lay it out in an easier way:

1. KADOKAWA owns the RPG Maker IP. So they have the final say and owns the RPG Maker RTP and specific DLCs (e.g. the Samurai Pack). They can choose whether they want to include the RTP from VXA to MV and to FES , etc.
2. DEGICA is the official distributor/publisher of the PC RPG Maker Series. We do not own the RPG Maker RTP Graphics though.
3. KADOKAWA created RPG Maker DS, DS+ and FES. They showcase resources from the PC RPG Makers.
3. NISAmerica localized RPG Maker FES. However, it does not mean they own the content from RMFES.

Speaking of which, it looks like Japan got all the monsters from 2000, XD, VX, VX Ace and the rest of the Samurai set are now part of the Japanese version's DLC catalog, and they seem to be selling it for 300 Yen, but it also looks like there's a way to get it for free. ...The USA version doesn't have it yet. The US is getting the rough end of the stick as far as DLC goes. I'd be willing to spend money for all of those, though. I hope the DLC eventually does come to the states.
