![]() ![]() Below are some of my anecdotes on why this is. Maybe for specific purposes, people may choose to use other RPG Maker versions still, but as of the 1.5 update of MZ, I do think it's just the outright best version of the engine to date. ![]() As of its newest 1.5 update, I think MZ is the best overall version of RPG Maker. I also had over 3000 hours in VX Ace & 11,000 hours in MV. For what you are too lazy to write yourself, you can likely find it at no cost with some generalized interweb searches.Īt the time of writing, I have over 1,600 hours in MZ. If you're a crafty developer, you can basically code up any additional functionality you could want (I wrote an ABS for example). It is also written in JAVASCRIPT, and not typescript which translates to minimal support for typing- kind of a surprise since typescript was definitely super popular during the time I imagine the underlying source was written.Īll in all though, I still believe it delivers what it states it will deliver. Despite it leveraging nodejs+electron, it is completely unable to leverage additional npm packages to streamline your cool plugin development. Monkey-patching prototypes of classes is the standard of how to write your cool plugins. That being said, as a software engineer by day, I will say that the underlying source code is definitely not the way I would've written it. Take one step further, and you've got a small iterative improvement in the form of RPG Maker MZ. It was pretty aewsome, though at the time of RMXP days, I had no clue about coding.įast-forward to RPG Maker MV and they basically rewrote all the underlying source of the engine into javascript. This enabled developers to customize (without hacky dll modifications) the underlying source allowing fun stuff to come in the form of "plugins" (or "scripts" as they used to be called). Once upon a time, in ye olde days of RPG Maker XP, they opened up some of the inner workings of the engine of your game. ![]() How about I talk a bit about that instead? If you're a developer, you might be curious about what is inside. Most folks seem to be reviewing this as a consumer of the product with no/minimal coding knowledge. ![]()
