Hello + 1 quick question!

[Dude Awesome]

Hello all!

I've been tinkering around with the VX Ace Lite and am loving it.  Planning on buying the full version but was confused as I browsed the forums.  There is a thread about getting steam keys and I wondered if I should just get this from steam or if it even matters.

Looking forward to joining this community as I progress to a high level RPG maker by gaining exp points from overcoming difficulties and defeating the devious villain at the end of the dungeon!

Thanks

It really depends on you... Steam has a sale (but IDK if it's still on right now), you might wanna check it... but personally, I suggest you get it here rather than steam...

Thanks for the reply.  I figure getting it here would be best, but thought I'd get some input before I make my decision.  + there is no sale going on right now xD

From what I gathered in that thread it was more about being able to show off games to a bigger crowd in the steam community.  While I can see that could be advantageous, I don't understand the why's and what for's and at this point just want to figure out how to put something cool together.

AFAIK (based on the Can We Get On Steam thread here), it's hard to enter an RM game into Steam... and if you really want to try to put a game on steam, you can still do so even you got your RM here

Yea, that's how I'm looking at it.  I can do all that and buy the software here, right?!  There's got to be something else to it, but I think I'm going to get it here anyway.

Thanks for your help, and here's hoping that I don't drown in all the tutorials I'm about to endure!  BD

There are a few minor issues with the steam version because of the way steam works internally (you can't open a project by double-clicking on the project file, Ace always opens with the last project and you have to use the open command inside the editor to change to another project).

That said, the only real difference is that this site and steam have sales at different times, and the bonus price reduction for the member+ program works only for the forum store (not even the main site store).

If you consider getting member+ for the other benefits, it's probably easier to buy everything in the forum store than waiting for a steam sale - on the other hand, sometimes steam sales are a lot cheaper than the sales here (steam sales can have different price reductions, sometimes 50%, sometimes 10%, sometimes 66% - but no one knows when the next sale will be or how much it will reduce it)
