I love RPG Maker 03. I tried 2000, XP and VX (95 didn't work on my PC), but I prefer 03, mostly due to the screen res and more features than 00.
I am making an action RPG like Ys Book I & II on the Turbografx-16 except that it occurs in the future and instead of gaining exp to level up you only gain money and must purchase upgrades to increase your atk, def and speed. The hardest part ever was to display amount of gold on the screen real-time. You have to use images to display text anywhere
yeah, i also prefer 2003 out of all the other RMs. i just dont have the time to draw high resolution pixel art.
your game sounds cool. im not sure about the upgrades though. i dont think it would work too fluidly. go for it and see what happens.
im currently working on an on-screen custom menu system for this game. the programming for displaying variables isn't too complicated. you just have to work with RM for a while to learn it XD
Yeah I still haven't figured out. Because displaying one image per digits really slows down the game a lot. In 320x240 or full screen I get my 60 frames a second fine, but if I switch o 640x480 I get some lag. There's about 90 lines of code just for displaying the amount of gold. And I never found any tutorial anywhere on how to display variable content without using hacks that are bloated with other features we don't want and can't disable
as for my ATK/DEF/SPD upgrade system, so far it seems to work well, I just need to make sure it won't take ridiculous amount of time to max them out. My game is rather simple actually, since it's only my 2nd RM game ever but it will probably be a good base for a sequel or a new similar game
I'll post vids soon, but I will not post my first RM game vids because Youtube kept deleting them on my old account (as it's based on an old cartoon)
I'd like to know how you got those enemies to animate in battle like that. O_o I've been trying to figure that one out for years.

I used pictures. This is a custom battle system, not RM2k3's default.
