Following the release of their software development tools for the Nintendo Switch last year – and less than a month until the 21 February 2025 launch on the PlayStation 4 and 5 – Nippon Ichi Software America has released RPG Maker With Player, a free demo of RPG Maker With.
The demo allows players to experience the game creation tools and play user-created games for free. It aims to offer budding RPG developers user-friendly controls, an intuitive interface, and online sharing options, hopefully providing easy-to-access tools for new game developers, and a bit more versatility for those more experienced. Additionally, PlayStation users will be able to play all games created in RPG Maker With on Nintendo Switch, thanks to cross-play functionality.
To assist players in getting started, NIS America has also launched a Beginner’s Wiki, providing tutorials ranging from creating a game in ten minutes to more advanced development guides.
