Hi, I'm new here.

Hello, I'm new here. I really wanted to know if there was a place to buy RPGMAKER MV on actual physical discs? Or have we "progressed" so far as a video game society everything is now all online only?

I live in a rural community and I do not have steady access to the interwebs in them thar woods, does this game require drm checking also?

Next question...

Does RPGMAKER MV support voice acting?

1a.As far as I know it's online only to buy/download. However once you have it, you can use it with offline accesss.

1b. Uhmm...not sure about the drm thing. However if you buy the steam version you in theory have all versions for all types (ie mac, linux and PC) you just need to have steam on one of your computers and download it thru them. For example, I have rpg maker mv on steam and right now it's on my laptop, but I can also put it on my uncle's mac, all I have to do is install steam, go into my account and install tog maker mv. Heck, I had RPG Maker MV on Ubuntu on a Virtual Machine on my laptop.

2.Yes you can have voice acting, you can do it in events easily, ie non-battle cutscenes and anything else not in battle. If you want voice acting in battles you're going to need plugins, which are additional scripts you can install.

DRM is checked during installation only, you can use all RPG Makers offline once installed.
In case of steam you need to switch the entire steam client into offline mode before launching the program, but if you have no Internet steam will automatically offer that to you.

So you will have to transport your computer to a friend with better access once for installation, but can use it without problems after that.

MV allows you to command audio files to play at any time, and that can include voice files as well as music or special effects.
However, timing for the end of the voice is either on your own (with wait commands) or will require plugins (which already exist).
