Hey there! Welcome to the forums. These forums are for the RPGMaker Software programs. (Basic RPG making software that's pretty easy to use ->http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/products/programs/rpg-maker-mv ) There are several versions, the newest being RPG Maker MV (The link I provided is for that version) If you are interested in making an RPG, I'd recommend you take a peek at that, as it has a nice free trial you can use to decide if you want to commit to using it (It has an $80 price tag, so it can be a little steep if you don't plan on using it)


I think you'd benefit by poking around the forums, and glancing at some tutorials on Youtube for RPGMaker. Driftwood Gaming's Channel is a pretty good one for beginners. If you have any specific questions, I'll do my best to answer ya.

Welcome to the group!

As Uguoka said, MV is the newest(and most expensive) version of the software, the somewhat older VX Ace version can sometimes be found quite cheaply in sales through Steam, HumbleBundle(be aware that if you sign up for their newsletter it doesn't always tell about all active "bundles" so you'll want to check the site at least once a week to be sure not to miss a good deal, they had a Game Making Bundle last year with a few hundred dollars worth of software and resources, including VX Ace, for about $15 total), and probably a few other outlets. There are several older versions than that which you can also find good deals on, though they don't have anywhere near as much support as the newer ones do. Basically the older the version the cheaper the price, but the less support will be available for it.

Welcome,


You came to the right place! Your start in a game can get a ton of help here on the forums, as others above me have shown. There are also areas and people to bounce ideas off from and get some great feedback at how you are doing.


Hope you like the forums.
