Is this the most soulful game engine of all time?
It's the antithesis of soul
>copy pasted derivative thoughtless shovelwareYe, definition of soul, ackshually.
>>736358101>soulless generic dragon quest blobber slop factory>superfast default field movement speed to appease ADHD ""QoL"" crybabiesInverse soul
>>736358101The early versions were, but the soul was slowly lost, starting from 2003.
Anybody who likes even a single game in this engine is absolutely dead to me
>>736358101Soul is just production values with lack of mechanical polish.
>>736358670Why the hate?It feels pretty forced
Only RPGM2000 and RPGM2003 are SOULFULEverything that came afterwards is SOULLESS
>>736358101No, XP had the most soul, VX and VX ace are technically better engines, but that was were the soul started leaking out of the rtp.
>>736359197Name 5 (five) good XP games or you're full of shit
SOUL
>>736358101No but it is the most coomful
>>736358308Except you can import all of your own assets into it. And it has ruby built in. You can build literally anything in RPG Maker
>>736359197RPG MAKER VXIT'S ALMOST LIKE CHEATING
>>736358670RPG maker does horror alright, Ib is a classic for itBut yes 99% of the games are just hentai shovelware
>>736359398That that anon but the engine is extremely limited, you can code in it now, sure, but some basic functions such as changing resolution or the grid size aren't there. How can you make an engine this bad? They've been doing this shit for over 26 years and they won't even give you the choice of changing grid size or giving a free movement such as Chrono Trigger in 1995??Stopped using RPGM a few years ago, started messing with it in 2000, it's shit. It's only quality is how easy it is to setup and make RPGs, which is why so many bad games come out of it.
>>736359698Not that anon*RPGM ruined my brain and now I'm retarded
>>736359398But that would mean effort and you can't expect that from the average rpgm slop "dev".I've seen more effort from fucking eroge devs than the hacks releasing their halfassed money grabs on steam for example.Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the engine itself, but at the end of the day, it's just a tool.

>>736358101>RPGMaker game is a 20 minute demo where the party is obviously the creator’s self insert, his friend, his crush, and his dogShit game but ultragigasoulful
>>736359379The real problem is that coomers will tolerate mediocre games just because they have porn in them, but will refuse outright to play excellent games the moment you tell them it doesn't contain porn.There are plenty of excellent quality RPG Maker titles like Ruina: Fairy Tale of the Forgotten Ruins, Hat World: New Testament, Enchant Farm, and many others that put most commercial JRPGs to shame, yet no one knows about them because they prefer to spam the same tired porn garbage instead of broadening their horizons.It's the same issue with VNs. There are subhumans (coomers) who will outright refuse to engage with an excellent VN if it doesn't contain porn, but will slop through hours of sludge if it has porn in it.tl;dr - coomers are a blight upon all that they touch.
>>736361152The trick to enjoying indie games is to play demos not profit driven products. There’s also no achievements and no social clout from liking *popular thing* involved so it gatekeeps normalfags.
>>736358101It allows artists and writers to make vidya even if they have zero development experience in game design, so yeah it is soulful.
>>736361413It's like being mad that people don't care about the story in pornhub videos. Of course they don't, it's not the point
>>736361928that anon isnt talking about porn games, you third worlder, he's talking about normal rpgmaker games that are overshadowed by porn ones. Sometimes you get a hit like Look Outside but a lot of honest to god good games get overlooked because it's not porn and that's entirely on the braindead audience.
>>736362103You have issues lol
>>736358101>soulfulwhat about the game thats full of soles?
>>736362103has to be either porn or edgeslop like fear and hunger
>>736361462Under Towelket there's an image of a different game
Can't you just vibe-code your own 2d engine nowadays?
Please don't remind me how many times I have failed
>>736358101>ignores 3d entirely>exclusively made and played by autists>easy to start>custom scripts out the ass>used to make games it wasn't designed for>deviantart autism>japanese autism>schizophrenia>90% freeware>aesthetic even when the devs can't draw for shitFuck yeah it is.
>>736358101Used by niggers with subpar drawings skill to sell porn on patreon.
>>736361413>The real problem is that coomers will tolerate mediocre games just because they have porn in them, but will refuse outright to play excellent games the moment you tell them it doesn't contain porn.On the contrary, I see people who make your same exact argument but cannot explain why they dislike an RPG Maker eroge that happens to have porn in it beyond "It has porn", often spinning elaborate stories attacking the character of the person rather than bothering to even talk about the game they're criticizing in a more in depth light.I've played RPG Maker games for close to 25 years, long before the explosion of RPG Maker eroge in the last 10-15 years or so. I've played more SFW RPG maker games and random throwaway forum shovelware than I even care to count. I can't count how many times on /v/ and /vrpg/ I was called a "degenerate coomer" for talking about genuinely great games like FalseMyth (wolfRPG, but still counts) or Demons Roots and then told to play "real RPG Maker" games like Enchant Farm (which I've already played and love) by people who somehow have some bizarre aversion to porn on 4chan of all places.It just comes off as entirely performative by people who want to vent their hatred of hentai more than anything. The "le coomers" or whatever post-2015 boogeyman buzzword you people come up with aren't attacking or disparaging your "hidden soulful SFW RPG maker gems".

>>736367776I made this a while ago.Currently playing through Tobira no Densetsu, might land on here if it holds up to the end.
>>736367490lol didn't read
>>736368149sneed's feed and seed (formerly chuck's)
>>736367490You're a coomer so all that text you wrote, I don't need to read it to know it's bullshit.
>>736368250You're a retard who's obsessed with trying to make RPG Maker games appear "legitimate" or "prestigious" when they're completely fine with being weird passionate niche outside projects.
>>736361413>japs make an engine>japs use it to make porn games more often than not>some random retard goes "nuh-uh you're playing wrong games!!! play re:Depression Quest 2.0!!"
>>736368405>I NEED TO COOOOOOOOMWe know.
>>736368992It must be easy being able to get through live being this performatively reductionist.
>>736367490it's just the current "meta" in 4chan. Why bother playing the game, posting in your opinion for uncertain amount of (You)?. Just go to random thread and post random insult/post based on the OP "this looks like jrpg so I will call them weeb" or "gacha game? gacha thread's reactional image#2312(he stole it from another thread)" I mean we are getting to the point discussing about the fate of the IP or franchise via twitter/news article screenshot gets more (You) than actually discussing the actual gameplay itself.

With the archive dying is begging for links on vrpg the only way left to find games?
