RPG MAKER MV PREORDER PAGE IS LIVE!

[Tsukihime]

Compared to most other data storage (I'm looking at you, XML!) JSON is very human readable. It's one of the best things to come out of JavaScript. Seeing it used directly by MV is super exciting since it means MV might not use binary files to store everything. It might not happen, ​but it would be pretty nice if there were no binary files at all for a project. My dream is to have an RPG Maker that supports collaborative editing via GIT or something. I always have a hard time working with multiple people when making games because of the lack of this.

I'm sure that would be the case.


However, you probably still would need to close your project and re-open it to reload data...

So you could edit objects easily from the json files?

Yeah, just open it on a text editor.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

How bout the save files? Are they json too?

 

[Rukiri]

We'll find out on the 23rd I guess. 

 

[Hudell]

Not on the HTML 5 version. That demo saved the save files on the browser local storage.

There was an option to save the game?

 

[Ramiro]

Of course there was... They use something like SessionStorage.save() so your savefiles are actually on your browser, not your PC, not your session...

Don't ever dare to clear cache xD

 

[Hudell]

There was an option to save the game?

Yup, on the menu.

 

[Tsukihime]

Yup, on the menu.

I feel like I'm missing something...


Which menu? The party menu?


Is this the same demo that's on the pre-order page or something else?

 

[nio kasgami]

hey do you think we can obtain the logo of rpg maker mv in bigger format ?

 

[Hudell]

Oh, I was mistaken, there was no save option there.

But the demo did save something on the local storage, so I imagine the save files are going there too.

I wouldn't doubt that.


Unless it's accessing a temp folder or something for your browser (which different browsers may implement differently for that matter), storing it in local storage would push the problem onto browsers implementing the HTML5 spec properly.

 

[Zalerinian]

I don't believe JS in a browser has any access to a filesystem, or at least not intentionally, so it'd have to be LocalStorage, perhaps webSQL if you wanted to get complicated.

Not only that! Looking at a tiny tiny pic in the preorder page, it seems like we will be getting a sort of bare bones "lighting" system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



What do you think!? If it is, its not as good as Khas Lighting Script, but its still something NEW!

It could just be a picture. It's not hard to do in any RM, so... It'd actually make more sense to be a picture, based on the shape of the lighting in question.

KILL JOY!!!!!!! OWWWWWO

Lol, but yeah, you could be right. A little while after I thought about that too.

 

[Ksi]

Got the go-ahead to say it.

It's a picture. Sorry to excite you all. ^.^;

I'll take bare-bones picture-based lighting over Khas's script any day (no offence to Khas, but his script is far, far too dark and has ruined many a promising game. Maybe if he remakes it in MV he could lighten it up a lot more or something so that people can actually see stuff on the maps. That'd be cool).

 

[Candacis]

I just preordered, I can't wait to map something in MV

I'm sort of glad it's just a picture. I hope we get a script\plug-in which allows us to lock images in place.

I am wondering, why there is only one youtuber that made a preview so far. Was he the only one that got a preview copy? I know several other youtubers who do RPG Maker videos, e.g. right now a big german youtuber with over 100k hits on rpg maker videos. I think, those would be perfect for MV previews. So, I hope, we will see more videos like that.
