    Does anybody here have this program?
    Do you want this program?
    Any good links?
    Wondering what the heck I'm talking about?

    RPG Maker is a program for, well, making RPGs.

    I'm wondering if anybody has some tile sets or character sets they'd like to share. ^.^'

    You can get it off KaZaA very easily, or off the following sites:

    [BMS]No links to this stuff. :dizzy2:[/BMS]

    Or, just go to google and type in 'RPG Maker 2003' or 2000, depending on which version you want.

    2000 is easier to work with, but 2003 has better graphics and a better battle system.

    Also, anybody who's having trouble with the above can contact me and I can send it to them through MSN Messenger.

    This is a sticky issue to get into.

    RPG95/2000 were japanese releases by ASCII that didn't make it out of country officially. In response, a Russian by the name of Don Miguel hacked and cracked them to English.

    ASCII found out and complained. It seems fair, on the basis that it is their material - but it also seems unfair for them to deny other users of this material by not releasing it "out-of-country". Why complain about losing profit in a market you never went into?

    This is the similar issue with so many old ROMs. There is a plethora of old Japanese games that are out of production and never released out of Japan. The only way you can play them "by the rules" is to track down a nearly-impossible to find import, pay a sickening amount of money for it, and then, know Japanese to make them playable. As the company never had a market here, and still doesn't, I really don't see the problem with obtaining said material and applying a patch to English via emulation.

    But now the sad part.

    I believe ASCII had an actual poll for this (still might, not sure) on their official RPG2003 site...but it appeared they were asking if there was interest in an English release of the software - meaning they finally had some interest in the market possibility, and meaning we had the chance of not being left out of something great liek this tool...

    Even Don Miguel was in support of this, and took down all his site downloads with the message to support ASCII...

    But it's already been hacked and cracked. Bleh...this won't be good support for an official release.

    Should we be able to get the stuff without the pain of import hunting and language constrains? Yes. But the legalities don't allow it.

    Going to have to lock down this thread and remove hunting info.
    :(
