Whether you are a novice or a pro, the RPG Maker XP is simple to use to create unique role-playing games on Windows. Its popular and user-friendly interface has been carried over from RPG MAKER 2000, and its graphic capabilities, battle screen layout, and data packaging features are better than ever! By popular demand, this latest installment also contains a brand-new Scripting function.
Easy to useYou might think it's hard to make great games, but it's a breeze when you use RPG MAKER XP. First, make a map that will serve as the stage for your adventure, then set up your heroes, enemy monsters, items, magic–everything you need for a good RPG creation. Finally, create some events and place them around the map, and your very own RPG is complete. Map making is simple and easy when you have tiles to work with! You can even use ready-made graphics for heroes and monsters, so all you have to do is give them stats and names.
Effortless event creationTownspeople, dungeons, treasure chests, boss battles - all of the things that help develop an RPG's story can be created through events. You'll find a wide array of events stored under Event Commands, from simple text and graphic displays to variable-wrangling technical tricks. Just select a series of commands, and you've created an event. You can even find clever ways of stringing together these commands for more sophisticated events–or sneak in a trap or two.
Share your gamesSave your completed game as a game disk, and you can burn it onto a CD-ROM to give to your friends or distribute it over the Internet for other gamers to enjoy. You can even market your creations as shareware.
