Current Events > Impulse bought RPG Maker MV >_> How is it if I know nothing about coding

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just want to spend 20 minutes trying to make a RPG before realizing I have no talent and go back to playing real RPGs >_>

But real talk, is it good? Is it easy to use? It's the most recent version so that's why I picked it.

I picked this up in Humble a couple or so years ago, and never bothered to reinstall the steam client.
Isn't it all just javascript coding?

It is easy to use, the tutorial is pretty straightforward and there are plenty more online. It will teach you the scripting you need. Just be aware that many features that real programming languages have are missing or hard to implement, so you can build up bad habits if you get too used to it.

So, yeah. Javascript.

It's good, can make a basic JRPG right out of the box.

eh, honestly i think you are better off getting a program like gamemaker studio and just learning how to code

I now expect you to make RPGs that star big tiddy anime girls, TC.

It's pretty easy to use, although I find its somewhat limited, so you'll probably want to use scripts. You can use scripts made by other people, but not all of them are offered for free (the most notable script maker, yanfly, used to offer their scripts for free, but started charging for them recently).

You dont need to know coding, you dont need to know how to script and you dont even need to use other peoples scripts. I never did and the games I made were loved and praised by some people.

I made hardcore erotica games, and many erotica game players said they were the best erotica games they've ever played, despite not having any pictures. 8)

Nice!

OK, now I'm curious.

It's good if you want to make a game you just wanna share with friends.

The premade assets are garbage and despite have a decent amount of content compared to older RPG Makers, it still leaves a TON to be desired. Basically if you want to make anything that isn't the strictest, most featureless, basic JRPG, you'll need to learn coding. And if you're going to learn coding, your time will be better spent using engines like Game Maker, Unity, etc...

Tl;Dr it's fun for kids and as a fun distraction, but that's about it

(also I say all that not to trash it, but as someone who made multiple games in various RPG Maker engines, and then started a legit indie game endeavor in MV 2 years ago, only to quit it and move all the development to a real engine since it was too limiting)
