New RPG MAKER hinted?

[Amelanduil]

So yeah, 2k3 just got on Steam. Pretty cool.

Then I started up the trailer, aaand...

The question is: is that only an assumption of future makers, or can we actually expect one this year?

 

[EternalShadow]

The thing is, since they actually took the trouble to put "2016" into the trailer as well, I can only take it as a confirmation we'll get a new Maker this year. Mid-this year, maybe.

The picture you posted can only make me think that yup, there will be a new RPG Maker this year . . . although wouldn't Enterbrain announce anything about it beforehand? I don't think I've heard of any clues, not before seeing this thread anyways.

*Shrugs* I don't think Degi/EB are one for pre-announcements. Just look at 2k3! I think Ace had a preorder though, but I'm not sure how long that was for.

Moving backwards don't you think we'll get either RM2k or a console maker first?

Or maybe they will jump directly to RPG Maker 98? :x

RM2k? I'm not really all that well informed about old makers, but wasn't that almost exactly the same as 2k3? And if we were to get another console maker, it'd probably be one for 3DS.

2k3 had a sideview battle system and allowed for more switches/variables/pictures compared to 2k. That's the main difference i can currently think of. Funny enough, you could use a 2k3 Game.exe in your 2k game and gain access to those extra switches etc that way.

Mod edit: Merged threads

Hello everyone, how are you all?

I just wanted to bring this to the attention of people, although other's probably have noticed this. In the trailer for the recent English release of RPG Maker 2003, we see RPG Maker VX Ace and we see the year 2015. Now... look closely at this image:
 

It is hard to tell, but the year after 2015 is most likely 2016, although it is cut off. Now then, between 2015 and the supposed 2016, what do we see...? RPG Maker ??

So is it a hint that we could be getting a new RPG Maker later this year? Personally, I have no idea what to believe. But what do you think?


Could a new RPG Maker emerge later this year? Let me know what you think!

Merged threads? Ok, makes sense.

 

[EternalShadow]

It is a "6" that got cut off in the image, it only shows for one frame n the trailer so it s hard to screenshot.

 

[Seriel]

Looks like 2016 to me:

 

[Alistair]

The hype is real.

 

[Jaymonius]

A new maker eh? I wonder if they'll finally incorperate 2.5 game graphics perspectives like the newer Pokemon games and older ps1 titles. Ohhh how I'd hope so. > v <; Yeah, 2.5 stuff, just using the VX/VX Ace tileset designs. With more options and *droool* anyway... let's look forward to Summer and see what will happen should this speculation be true. :3

Maybe the "new release" in 2015 will be the English translation of RM2K3?


If it's a new engine, the staff are doing a great job keeping it a secret. I haven't seen any whispers in the moderator forums.

 

[Archeia]

We're too busy basking under the light of nostalgia.

I mean what.

That's because we're too busy talking about you behind your back in the special moderator forum only you don't have access to. I easily spend 50 hours a week in the "lol shaz" thread..

 

[Galenmereth]

Or maybe it's RPG Maker VX Ace Ultra Turbo 3 Upper Alpha?

So tell me something I DON'T already know.


Hotfirelegend, no, I meant RM2K3 - the engine that's just been released. It IS 2015, after all, and it WAS released in 2015.

 

[EternalShadow]

No, it's RPG Maker VX Ace XVII: Return of the Dragonlord's Secret Gem Saga and the legend of the Forgotten Kingdoms Mark 9.
