First Trailer and New Details Shared for RPG Maker MV

-

Following the announcement of both a Japanese and Western release of RPG Maker MV in the near future, a new trailer and additional details have been announced regarding the upcoming game development software. While the visual changes between VX and MV don’t seem to be anywhere near as significant as the one from XP to VX, there are a number of improvements which can be taken advantage of.

The most significant change is that you are no longer locked to developing on the PC, with Mac devices to now be supported. This change follows a decision to allow developers to build games for five different platforms: Windows (EXE), Mac (APP), Android (APK), iOS (IPA) and HTML 5 for Web Browsers. Given that it may not always be possible to use a keyboard on these devices, games will also playable using touchscreen and mouse controls.

There have been a number of back-end changes introduced as well. The Database now supports up to 2,000 items (twice as many as VX Ace), and it will be easier to search for stray variables, switches and events with the re-introduction of the Event Searcher from RPG Maker 2003.

When it comes to editing the user interface, battle system or other features of your RPG, past RPG Maker titles have required developers to dive into Ruby. It seems like RPG Maker MV will be offering Javascript support as either a replacement or alternative to this. For those who don’t wish to dive into scripting to produce the RPG of their dreams, it will be possible to select either a Front View Battle or Side View battle system by default.
