Yes

its definitely a step up

the problem is that if you aren't good at writing scripts, there isn't much available yet if you wanted to get into the deeper mechanics

Just use RPG Maker 2003 and if there's anything you can't do with that engine, graduate to Game Maker.

I guess RPG Maker MV is a cheaper alternative if you want to publish to mobile devices though.

It seems like every famous RPG Maker game doesn't actually use the RPG mechanics and is just a walking simulator/exploration game.

Are there any good RPG Maker games that are actually RPGs?

If you don't know how to write the scripts for it, the only real improvements are higher resolution, an easy way to do FF-style side-view battles, and the ability to publish to mobile. The creation tools are exactly the same as in VX Ace.

It's a lot nicer with the scripts basing off JavaScript. There's all kinds of shit on the internet for tutorials and examples.

If you aren't going to put the time in to learn, it won't really be worth it.

They fucking changed the size of icons so all your old resources won't fucking work.

I don't understand why everything in VX and MV is so blocky and flat. XP and prior versions had a greater sense of depth.

How much time it take to learn how to write scripts if dont know shit right now. I don't mind taking hours to learn it

Can you have animated sprites during battles ?

JavaScript is pretty natural language based. I recommend
http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
and
https://jsfiddle.net/ for quick playing with scripting.

I do it for a living so I was happy to see the language used in RPG Maker.

Have fun.

Unless you know how to code and create a lot of art from scratch, no. There isn't enough framework out there yet, and it's still a bit janky.

VXA has a huge amount of resources, gudes, scripts etc available right now, and it's not like people have stopped making stuff for it yet.

Anyone knows how active the community is on MV ?

Cuz it's hell on earth to get somebody to try your demo on Ace
