Cool! But I noticed that it isn't available (yet) in both RMW main store and forum store. Is it Steam exclusive?

 

[djDarkX]

Wow, I picked a hell of a day to post again!  Oh man.  I want it, if nothing else just so I can remaster the music legally! *-*

 

[Lunarea]

for the give aways ...I bet it's have to be from rpg maker 2003?

No, any RTP.

Cool! But I noticed that it isn't available (yet) in both RMW main store and forum store. Is it Steam exclusive?

No, it will be available in the RMW main store and forum store in a short while.

But for those who just cannot wait... Go get it!

 

[Susan]

Do it, djDarkX! Do it! ^^

 

[GrandmaDeb]

[Sailerius]

Wow, very affordable!  Fav RTP char from any maker??

Yes, from any Maker.

Fave RTP character is very hard, I don't know the names of them all.

This guy from People2 in Ace is very interesting though, as there is an "older version" (who could also be his dad if your story wanted) right above him in the faceset. He could be the "cool" evil guy, or the person who grows up over the course of two games, or similar. Not many of the RTPs have a usable older version.

Looks good. Now let's move forward to the future please (aka next RPG Maker)!

Which one of the RTP characters is your favorite and why?

Not an easy question since I only know them by picture but I guess Ralph. He is so bad, cliche and stupid character that I can't help to laugh every time I see his 'serious' portrait. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone xD

Just look at this motherf***** getting ready to save the world:

So when is the official next RPG Maker engine announcement if they're comfortable teasing it in RM2003's steam trailer?

 

[Rose Guardian]

Awesome, it's about time!

Entry: Which of the RTP characters is your favorite, and why.

My favorite RTP character is Elmer I guess. He is my favorite because I like purple hair, and red eyes, and he looks like he has an attitude, and I like characters with a attitude.

EDIT: Forgot to add a picture of him. Sorry about that.

 

[nio kasgami]

argh wait I have to edit my whole post then D: !

@grandmadeb :   CAT!

 

[EternalShadow]

So when is the official next RPG Maker engine announcement if they're comfortable teasing it in RM2003's steam trailer?

Mid-2015 xD

Summer's my guess.

EDIT: 2k is in the trailer too, but no date for it so... 

 

[Kyuukon]

Well... the trailer indeed showed 'Mid 2015'.

 

[Lunarea]

little question : we can now make 2003 games in this forum o-o?

Same as all of our other engines. As long as it's created with the official legally-purchased version, yes.

 

[Makio-Kuta]

Fav RTP character is Ulrika. Hands down. Because she's a babe. (Also because she has to put up with Ralph) Her hair colour is really fun to colour. <3 <3
