I just downloaded the trial version of RPG Maker VX. Iv had the urge to make an RPG for a while now, but being having game maker 7 lite has limited my development so far...
I was wondering if anyone has used it or knows of any helpful beginner tutorials out there. Iv found a few sites but they are way to vague for me :D
And it looks like i should have gotten the previous version RPG Maker XP, cause most/all of the examples if found are in that source... Unopenable in VX.
Anyway any help will be great!
Thnxs Dis ;)

Sorry for the double post... But iv just started getting the hang of this program... It uses the ruby language, but it calls procedure for the kernel so its quite easy to figure out...

The story is basically a stargate inspired rpg...

Iv finally got somewhere with my game. Iv designed a sideview battle system (no skills just yet). The sprites have been designed by urs truely, so it going to take a while before i release a prototype.

Im having so much fun playing with rmvx :D

Why not post a few tutorials on the forum or even write one for Dev.Mag? That way new people won't have to struggle the same way you did ;)

Sounds like you're doing some cool stuff, looking forward to seeing it!

Yes. Dev.Mag article series. Do it. We may need to replace a long running series with a new one, and if you're up to it I shall be most, most grateful.

I could write a beginners guide... That should be real easy... Thing is the program is a 50mb download and has a trial version of 30 days. Luckily iv got over 4 playable pc's at home to use it with. Its around $100 to register i think.

I have RPG Maker XP, it's pretty damn cool. After figuring out how to work with it, I made a little test game (http://www.bonezmannsgamez.zzl.org/testrpg.zip). I Love this program, :)

I can't see if the link works on my side, just post let me know here if it doesn't work. ;)

I think you need the Runtime Libraries, is RPG maker VX newer than RPG Maker XP?

That is correct... i haven't ever used RMXP but apparently its still the most popular... but VX has a cool language script... its tricky to grasp though... im still learning!
