RPG MAKER MV PREORDER PAGE IS LIVE!

[GrandmaDeb]

Okay - a few questions -


(I have no idea where to post them - the support section is nutz! by the way lol it has caught the fever from over here)


1. Since tablets like the Amazon Fire - available for 50 bucks and able to run the Android system - are around for cheep, it occurs to me that I could (this is my first question) maybe put my MV game on a tablet for the grandkids to play?


and


2. Since Shaz tried out super-sizing resources for the Ace --> MV converter, and since tile conversion/resize may perhaps involve a certain amount of skill or paid program use, can we send our tiles - even if they include commercial tiles - to someone to resize for us? The way we have people use our tiles to make maps for us? I mean, if there were a really great resize of commercial tiles available, that would be nice (really nice), but I'd have to go remake every single custom tilesheet I have, right? So just checking, so that if someone wanted to set up a "Resize a page for a buck" kind of shop and did 200% better than me with two steps on GIMP, it would be a great service

@Candacis: We don't know how many review copies Enterbrain considered enough - there is that other web journalist that uses his copy for making a polled game as a form of review, so there are additional copies send out.

But I think they also focused on the english market first...

Deb: it's a little slow on the fire, as the fire was never meant for that kind of processing. I'm not sure how well it'll work in a battle scene, etc.

So...can anyone confirm if that video really was a review copy and was missing some features?

Because the character generator seemed to have less parts than Ace's and that made me sad. It seems more powerful, has better portraits, uses parts for a LOT more than Ace's...but that doesn't mean it needs less parts...

 

[Matombo]

lol i thought everything was nda or was that video approved bevore uploading?

 

[Andar]

The deployment screen of the review copy had no option for HTML, and we know that MV can export to webbrowsers. But going back to the original first announcements, the ability for HTML5 was not yet mentioned there either, that came only a few days later.

In my opinion that shows that it was added later, and means that that preview copy was an older one (as he said in the video as well).

Unfortunately that does not answer the question on if more parts will be added before release.

However, when that video showed the clothing, it not only showed very few option but all those options were fantasy armors. And it had been confirmed that MV will also have modern/SF tiles by default. Somehow I don't think that they would add SF-Tiles without adding sprites for modern games as well, and that should include more options on the generator for modern/SF clothing. And no fantasy civilian could wear those clothes as well.

Again, no proof and no one but the people under NDA know what will be available in release.

But I think one reason for this is because the artists are still working on those options - Touchfuzzy and the beta testers more or less confirmed that the release date was suddenly moved to a much earlier date, and additional options are usually done last in any development process...

That character creator.


That character creator!


Just wow. Character creator that makes characters that fit to default ones too.


Plus don't get me started how much better character art looks in my opinion on RPG Maker MV than any other RPG Maker. I mean even face graphics on dialogue boxes etc.


I might actually end up commissioning some parts to make characters that fit to "the clans" series.

I looked at the files too and the loading image can be changed, not that we'll see it much.

 

[Clord]

I just wonder how to handle "neck slot" like approach with character creator.


Seems that if you want to change anything around neck, you basically would edit choker directly to clothes image.


I see it done often in 3D games to avoid clipping but this is basically 2D so I wonder why.

17 days to go folks!

Why is there no count down timer anywhere?

Whyyyyyy? >_<

I keep counting the days like a damn tool...

Oiveh.

Guess what though.. this is the first time i have ever gotten a new RPG Maker on day 1 but it IS the second time i have bought and RPG Maker at full price.

RPG Tsukuru 2003 (oh and i forgot i bought that one for playstation 1 and 2 for playstation 2 back in the day..) i got back in the day at full price through a web site that's gone now....

But i bought Ace on sale... and.. well USED to have an illegal copy of XP... and i skipped regular old VX.

So this is the first time i'm getting it on day 1 AND at full price at the same time.. AND ... getting extras.

I'm proud of myself right now.

I feel like i'm.. contributing more this time buy than i have in the past.. that is to say... paying full price... encouraging future development of software from EB and Kadokawa.

I wanted to be sure i was there day one, so i could work on my battlers...

See.. i am working on a different style of battler... i'm not nuts about what MV has.. so i wanna work on a different style...

It's been in development for awhile now.. but until i get MV and can actually test them out and develop them further i'm not gonna show them.

And even when i do show them... i.. might just show them on youtube in a video...

It's a long story but... im not comfy posting things i make here anymore..

Can't wait for the release though!

If you go back you can see a character I made with the generator that included some modern clothes (he is wearing a suit and wrap around red sunglasses). Its in the screenshot showing off the SF/Modern tiles. Basically saying that if that only had Fantasy in it, then yeah, there is more stuff in the version I'm using, and since its something I already got OKed and showed, I can tell you its there .

 

[The_Golemancer]

I'm a couple days late to the party, but I just saw it on Steam, ordered on website. Can't wait!

 

[BloodletterQ]

I'm sure there's more parts now if our pieces come from the RTP heroes and none of them have beards. Still hoping that we get pieces as DLC.

Whyyyyyy? >_<

Because I am already nervous enough about all of this!!!


/me cannot take the strain!!!

Looking forward to seeing the different kinds of beard the generator comes with.

I see it in Steam (with -10% promo) and the french language is in.

Beside the price any difference with preorder here ?

 

[Kes]

As has been stated in numerous posts (search is your friend) the big difference is that if you get it here you get both the stand alone version and a Steam key.  Buy it on Steam and you do not get the stand alone.

Ok, it's like i have two copies of the soft so i can offer one to a friend, it's cool

And this is why I suck ass at English.

I never notice such little hints. I was also part of the group, who believed that the character generator (judging from the video) was very underwhelming. Though what you said: 'the version I'm using'... is it simply wishful thinking believe that you're not using the final version, and that there's a chance there could be more?

This is only if you have actually purchased two copies. If you buy from the website and get a non-steam key and a steam key, you cannot give one of them away. They are the same key, and are for your use only.
