I can finally make weapons with tons of cool ass effects without the need of a script!

Go my fire axe that boost crit by exactly 23% + reduce encounter rate by half and double the gold I get in battle!

I'm gonna have a whole lot of fun with this one.

Oh my you can create equipement that allows a character to wear stuff they're not supposed to.

Like a bracelet that allows its wearer to use axes or something.

So much customization!

Yes, weapons that give you spells and skills are possible now.

The opposite is also true.

Does it show the player sprites in battle?

Also, I went to the website, and they were selling it for $89.99. I then went to go to a different website, and a pop up saying if I stayed on the page and bought it, it would be only $59.99. Hilariously sketchy business tactic!

But I am most definitely checking this out.

I never finish anything either.

I just come up with those cool ass event things and never do anything with them.

I should learn how to script cause it'd make my job much easier but **** that!

Like I came up with a system that made skills level up with use, with branching paths and all. Too a long ass time to make but it was nice.

Also Bank system with interest, forge system and a ton of other nifty things.

In RPGMaker 2k when I was like, 12 or 13, I got REALLY into it and did like all kinds of custom battle systems, sprites, etc.

Even made like, quick time event cutscenes with awesome sprite sword matches. I wish I still had those, they were actually cool, but I lost the whole thing to a virus (this was before I realized I should BACK. UP. EVERYTHING.)

The few people I did show it to loved them. There was like a whole RE4-like knife fight event like duel I did.

Huh... when I tried to leave the store page, I got a popup saying I could get it for free via TrialPay. I either have to get a free T-Shirt (but pay suspiciously undisclosed packaging costs), or buy a game from Big Fish for $2.99.

They're all utterly generic casual crap, but (in the unlikely event this is actually legit), $3 for a new RPG Maker isn't bad.

Doesn't seem to work for me, the activation key does nothing.

Maybe it's becuase it's a key for VX, not the Ace version.

The deal is only for VX though :(
