Even if you don't know anything about XML files, the learning curve isn't that steep since XML is essentially about structure rather than details. All data is stored in XML files, which you can edit according to the particular needs of your game.
Open RPG Maker has a unique method of editing the menus in the form of Screen Layouts. If it's RM2K/3 I really don't think Enterbrain will care, since that RPG Maker is so old now (and wasn't technically legal in the first place). Note: Since this is an RPG Maker outside of Enterbrain's, it's probably better to create your own resources - the same way you would with RM2K/3 - so as not to step on any EULA toes. There's something else that is a pleasant, very useful feature, lacking in many other RPG Makers, and that is the ability to take a snapshot of your finished maps and save them in PNG format without having to do it manually.
In addition to being able to import RM2K/3 resources, it is also possible to import those from O.H.R.RPG.C.E, which is a neat idea. So I'm glad that this feature is present. I have some very fond memories of spending hours creating my own unique animations for the status effects I created, but this feature was omitted in the next-gen RPG Makers. These are then appended to the tileset, as each tile is actually converted into a separate file, which can then be easily deleted from the tileset if you change your mind.īattle Characters are the same as RM2K/3 in that you can use "poses" to reflect various status effects. You can add or delete tiles with a few clicks. In the Tileset section of the Database, one of the functions I particularly like is the ability to change the layout of the tileset directly. Subsequently, you can import resources from your old RM2K/3 projects via the built-in "Importer Plugin", including Character Sprite Sheets, Tilesets and Backgrounds. This entire RPG Maker seems to be initially founded on RM2K/3 (it is a clone after all). Almost every aspect of Open RPG Maker can be edited and, when it is finished, I bet you there will be some awesome games made with it. At this point in development, the important thing isn't its functionality, but being able to see what this RPG Maker will be capable of when it's completed.
