A question for the mods! Since I also use RPG Maker, RPG Maker XP to be exact, can I ask what are the differences from making the game in VX and XP? I'm really curious and interested to know whether I should switch to RPG Maker VX or not!
I never used XP, I assume you’re thinking I did use it because of that post showing this game was originally being made on XP, that was actually someone else making it in the XP days. (Mod Hagakure, who left the blog and the project for certain reasons I’m not discussing.)
Anyway, from what I know though, VX Ace is a lot easier to use than XP and is capable of doing more stuff. Plus I think aesthetically it looks prettier. Also, if you want to upgrade, I highly suggest VX Ace over just VX, VX doesn’t let you use custom graphics in your games from what I know and that’s really stupid. VX Ace does what VX does and with more options they had in XP that they removed in the original VX for like no reason. So yeah, I recommend the upgrade.
Plus as far as availability goes, VX Ace goes on sale almost regularily meaning it's fairly easy to obtain a legal copy for 15-25 dollars usually via steam. Although having it in steam does come with it's own slue of inconveniences, but past that it is a better program in my opinion.
