The RPG Maker

Long time ago, when RPG Maker from Agetec releases on PS1, I get to try it out. From every aspect, it look promising and have so much depth. It took me 3-4 hours to make one tiny quest. Not to mention it took 1 memory card full of save file. Yes, there isn't any programming code involved as that time I was an IT student. Then came RPG Maker 2 for PS2, same old same old but in 3D! wow! As I say, same old stuff, you get pretty pissed when you have to write an epic story using controller ala SMS input method.

Years after that, RPG Maker 2000, RPG Maker XP releases. This time they have scripting and you can basically recreate your own sprites, put your own music, and best part is, writing the dialogs, this time with keyboard! The script is quite basic, easy to catch up coz it deals with only conditioning, looping, choice and its structural.

Just yesterday I try out RPG Maker VX, same like XP, except the sprites size of XP can't be used. They simplify the coding even better to learn. Seeing that my programming skills deteriorate over years, I catch up quick.
