RPG Maker 2000, is it out or what?

[revenile]

I can't help but kind of laugh at the fact that RM 2000 is not listed on the rpgmakerweb.com's products section yet.

They said it was a very temporary starting release for Humble Bundle.  I'm sure it'll be in the store as soon as it's done.

Also... 

RPG Maker 2000Steam key AND ALSO DRM FREE version! Wow! No seriously Wow! Fair and square.

This can legalize a LOT of good games released in the past, if the devs will buy it.

It's out on steam now. Has anyone noticed with the trailes what came before RPG Maker 2000?

A ton.

RM95 is the last PC one I believe. We've nearly got them all.

...so, whats "Value +" about RM2000? ...isint it not as good as 2003? What does it have that 2003 dosnt?

 

[Sharm]

As I recall Value is an upgraded version of RM2k.

Thank you Sharm. However....and im really really not trying to annoy anyone, but i still dont get it. What exactly has been upgraded in this version of rm2k that makes it worth buying? . From what i can see from reading steams product description, it dosent really say anything i dont already know. Are there additional graphics included with the RTP that were not in the older version, are there new even commands, can you use scripts in this one?    

 

[XPKobold]

@Deathswallow. I am guessing the upgrades from 2003 english translation since both were retro games no scripting but a lot of ways to make custom stuff through eventing.

 

[Bastrophian]

@Kobold- Thank very much .

 

[XPKobold]

@Deathswallow Your welcome

Also realized from the steam page it's 2000 Value+

 

[Sharm]

No, I think you're misunderstanding.  I mean the original RM2k way back when was upgraded to RM2K value.  RM2K3 came later.  Value is a term that's been used on a few makers on a secondary release of the same product, probably bug fixes and added graphics, but I don't actually know for certain.  People who have been asking for RM2K to be released have been specifically asking for the Value version.  If you're asking what makes RM2K better than RM2K3, then that's probably a bit like asking if XP or Ace is better.  The RTP's aren't identical and the built in fighting systems are also different.

One look at wikipedia will tell you the difference between 2000 and Value.

This version includes the following changes to RPG Maker 2000:

• Event

• Event command 'text display' (文章の表示) supports using player's name as variable via \N parameter, and the variable number can be replaced via \V parameter.
• The number of pictures can be displayed simultaneously is increased from 20 to 50.
• The display priority of combat animation is changed to above picture.
• In event command 'key entry processing (キー入力の処理), the direction keys up, down, left, right can be changed separately.

• Combat

• Enemy character's HP displays is set to 5 columns width.
• Default message display speed is faster.
• The number of steps in random encounter is less varied.
• If the damage becomes 0 because the effect variation rate is 0%, the actual damage value is changed from 1 at random times to always be 0.
• Battle events 'display selection branch' (選択肢の表示) and 'process value entry' (数値入力の処理) are added.

• Audio

• New supported playback formats include MP3, and WAV (Microsoft ADPCM codec). MP3 can be used as background musics.

Obviously copy-pasted from Wikipedia, but these are the changes.

EDIT: Also any word on that odd lag in full screen testing games?

When will RPG maker 2000 have a non steam release? Got paid (yay) so decided to by all the older makers. I don't use steam and won't any time soon, so any news on that?
