RPG Maker is ludicrously easy as game makers go. A step up in difficulty wouldn't be such a huge thing. It might even clear the air a little by requiring that people be a little more serious about their games to cope.

However, I doubt that it will be much more difficult to use than Enterbrain's previous works. Knowing them, most of the stuff will already have been done for you.

OH GOD YES I LOVE REMAKING GAMES THIS PROGRAM REALLY MAKES MY "CREATIVITY"SPARKLE LOL!!!!

I can't wait till this is out. I've been wanting to make a Super Mario World hack for a while. I tried it with RMXP, but this will probably work better.

I want to remake Super Mario World with graphics from Super Mario Bros. I can't wait! It will be a serious exercise in creativity!

Actually, there's already a program which you can use to hack the rom and create your own levels without having to rip the graphics etc.

Man, I've been thinking of ideas ever since I heard of it.

How about one that you play as this character that has to blow his enemies into different hazards to proceed? He could blow a rock into a pit so that he could cross or keep a light enemy afloat so that it can move into a slot which opens up a door?

Or how about an Okami type game using Amateratsu's powers?

Lol, how about Bleach racing? You can race different characters of bleach using shunpo!

Man, if you could mix the genres of Action rpg, side scroller, and shmps...O.O'

lolmissingno

woah how did the expect you to read the information on their site o.o I can't read any of that yellow text <_<

I'm interested in making a platformer.  I don't have ideas at the moment, though.  I'm more of a "start playing around and make up the story as you go" person.  It'd be really cool if you could have a summoning ability, like being able to summon minions to do stuff that you wouldn't normally be able to do.  It'll be interesting when they come out with more specifics.

I was so excited for Stencyl, but now that I see this my excitement has faded.

Geez, the possibilities are endless. Ideas are flowing to my head non-stop.

Whoah.  I just had an awesome idea.  Well, actually, I had the idea a while ago, but I decided to put it on my "projects on hold" list.  It would work excellently as an action game.

I have a platformer in mind that i started to try and make in XP, maybe i can complete it in this new engine they are working on.

hopefully it runs smoother than rmvx. the last thing we need is a platformer with rmxp/vx lag. :\

If your PC is up to par with the recomended requirements, you should have no lag.
I have no lag in either XP or VX.
I hear it all the time, XP lags, VX lags, and it usualy is either the PC or the PCs settings.

I only hope their are very few limits in this maker.
VX had tileset limits that made me skip buying it.
You should never limit somthing in software that is used for creativity.
I also hope we can do hills and slopes in the platform portion of this maker.

I have a feeling i may actualy complete a game with this maker.

This seems pretty kick ass. There goes Stencyl x_x. But I guarantee most of the games will be Zelda remakes.

there's probably gonna be some sort of selection process as i doubt microsoft will tolerate super mario bros 7: luigi saves the princess in another castle and other copyright infringing material

Yeah, it'll be interesting how they would do that.  Most likely a review board of some sort.

Aaargh! I've been caught red-handed!

Time for a metroid remake.

This engine would be the perfect way to make some sort of side story or something to Chasing Citsuaki. :3

Hey marcus! Long time no seen  :)

The best thing of this is that most of the fanmakers will move out from the rpgmakers
hi hi hi

lol, this is ganna be awesome, and by awesome I mean I'll never pay for it and I'll get it by conventional means, :D

Would it be possible to make a mouse-shooter action game? =)?
(Using your mouse to aim and shoot and walk around with arrowkeys or W,A,S,D)

Or a Platform-Shooter game? You use your mouse to aim and keys to jump and run and such :)...

since it's flash embedded then maybe.  i'm curious about the control scheme (it'll probably be adjustable) since you can also play it on xbox.

Remember our porting to console thread?
We'll see a porting from x-box360 to (enter system here) with brain schemed "ideas" about hacking it into a Wii with motion sensitivity... god... that will not be a fun conversation :|

Woot for Low MB. Download of maplestory! :D!

I just learned that the team who made Mega Man 9 and the Zero series is only made up of like 20 guys and Mega Man 9 itself was developed in a little over 6 months.  If that game's success is any indication of what you can do with action rpg maker (granted you have the will to create and the vision to direct) then distribution through XBL is sounding even better.

I wonder if it can do beat 'em up sala streets of rage, and more recently castle crashers. that would be super fun to make.

you can do those with current abs for rmxp/rmvx
considering this is geared to that, it would certainly be much easier
