Tactics Maker - Making a tactics based game. Such as ProjectXZone, or Final Fantasy Benevolent Wings, or Final Fantasy Tactics. If you've played none these, it's easier to say, it's a RPG played like a board game.         

"Steet Fighter" Maker - It's played like Street Fighter, Tekken, BlazBlue.         It's hard to describe, and I'm sure you've played games like this.

"Mario and Luigi" RGP Maker or Higher-Control RPG Maker or Timed-Skills RPG Maker - Played almost like an RPG, only when you attack or use a special skill, you have to press a button at a certain point, and the closer to the time, the more damage you deal.

Hack-And-Slash Maker -  Like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, or City of Heroes/Villains.

MMO-Maker - Same as Hack-'n-slash, but 3D, and can play with other players.

Those aren't different gaming platforms, those are different genres, there's a huge difference.

You could already make platformers, and Tactic/RPGs with RPG maker, just takes a lot of scripting., however it would be nice if a maker was made, that could make viable tactic games by default. 

As for fighters, that's like the polar opposite of what this engine/maker is designed for. Choose another engine if you want to make a fighting game(you "could" make one with RPG Maker, but it would be a utter POS).

Also while RPG maker can make platformers(pretty good ones at that), from what I can tell, IG Maker is more or less specifically designed to make platformers, so you can always check that out.

There are many Tactical Battle Systems already present in RPG Maker. So you can do this via RPG Maker then.

"Street Fighter" Maker - It's played like Street Fighter, Tekken, BlazBlue.         It's hard to describe, and I'm sure you've played games like this.
You might want to rewrite the whole battle classes and sprite classes for this one. You can do fighting game in RPG Maker. It requires a lot of scripting a level of understanding how it actually works. Galv has a script called "Actor Duel" which allows you to fight like Street Fighter, however, using the Holder's Battlers. You can change that if you want or modify some parts of it to make the gauges, damages. calculation of movements, etc. 

Hack-And-Slash Maker -  Like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, or City of Heroes/Villains.
There are so many scripts on RPG Maker that features Hack and Slash. Moreover, any RPG Maker seems to have it, starting from XP to Ace.

MMO-Maker - Same as Hack-'n-slash, but 3D, and can play with other players.
Okay, about this MMO thing, there's a script made by Efeberk that lets you do MMO in RPG Maker VX Ace, for its online database. Needless to say, making an MMO game is not easy as you think it is. You need to have at least knowledge in Networking, Network Gaming and some part of actually making your server and client for all of this. Apart from that, 3D? Well, RPG Maker does not really suit games to be made in 3D. RPG Maker is 2D, and it should stay with that.

None of the last 3 are hack-n-slash games. Hack-n-slash is like...Diablo, Torchlight or Titan Quest. Anyway, you can already do all of those things in RM with scripting.

Already exists

Not sure why MMO == 3D or hack-n-slash.

It doesn't that's for sure.

Like the best MMO ever made is 2d for crying out loud, and if a MMO is = to Hack n Slash, that's a pretty crappy MMO.

If MMO = Hack and slash, then MMO dance games for example are also hack and slash? 0.0


but really, those are genres not platforms...

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
