RPG Maker Forums

While the gaming community was skeptical at first, the first half year of the Nintendo Switch has shown that is being embraced by many. No doubt that this is in part because of its dual nature as a home console and a portable one. I think that because of this, it can cater to both gamers that want to play in long sessions (behind the TV) or short bursts (in bed, on train). As such it's something I will be getting somewhere along the line.

Because it seems to be so versatile, it has become a great place for indies and seems to become one for RPGs too looking at the release schedule. While part of that gold rush, that games media are talking about, is going to because of a limited selection at the moment, I think at the core the Switch will be the platform that this generation will be most suitable for indies/RPGs.

This brings me to RPG Maker. It can and has put out those indie RPGs that seem to be such a good fit for the Switch. Existing games such as:
  • OneShot
  • To the Moon
  • Lisa
  • Rakuen
As well as promising games currently in development:
First of all, would it be doable for the RM devs to design MV or even older engines to be able to export to Switch and second, would you want to play RM games on the Switch?

Thanks in advance for the discussion :D

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
