Picking a program


RPG maker

Our group had decided to use rpg maker for our demo very early on; we wanted to pin down the program we would be using as quickly as possible so we could get the practice in to get to grips with it. Checking RPG makers website we were announced with yet another decision between VX or XP.

Initially we wanted to go with XP because it was cheaper; but discovered the VX version.

Both were user friendly. XP featured easier customisation, whereas VX had easier event creations; database of differing character archetypes. As impressive as the archetypes system is; we only have 4 characters so it's a bit much for what we really require. As we wanted to focus on the appearance and create our characters XP proved to still be the preferred program. The sprites were also taller, making more detail easier to fit on.
