VX Ace community?

[Xilef]

I'm looking at the Steam community around VX Ace and it seems like there's still interest in VX Ace, in fact I found several Steam community posts that link to external websites.

I see that VX Ace is pretty much totally ignored here as it doesn't offer the flexibility of XP without scripts, but what if scripters were to port their existing scripts to VX Ace and them post them on HBGames and post them to the Steam community with a link to HBGames for the script download, maybe this can go beyond scripting and do resources too.

I'm thinking direct the VX Ace Steam community over to this place through the seduction of awesome scripts and resources.

Personally I prefer VX Ace to XP after finally getting to grips with the mapping system, hated it at first, but now I quite like it, it also has some nice quick event features which save time, and y'know... 60FPS is always a plus while playing games, lol... I also think that by default it has a much cleaner look than XP without having to use scripts or anything...

Guys let's bring VX Ace back!

... But that would require me having to start gammacking again... lol.

I do agree with you though, Steam is fucking huge, I bet there's more VX Ace people there than on this website, and if we could encourage them to come here for resources and scripts and games and shit, we could increase forum activity over time again

I like Ace over XP, though mapping can still be difficult.

I usually go to RPG Maker Web for things. D:

Great, now I want to make an RPG. D:

you act like this is news or something

xp has better mapping. vx ace has better EVERYTHING ELSE. (rtp doesnt factor; real men make their own graphics anyway)

This is true, but since most of us have got to the point where we're moving on to other things and whatnot, the only reason to really stick with RPG Maker is for the mapping editor. For me, at least. With RGSS3 potentially working in RMXP I think that's what I'd go with.

As for VXAce not being big here, we've kind of ignored it largely, and it's time we fixed that. We've never tried to do anything with RMWeb (solved with the new contest), never... fuck, it's not even in our "game maker downloads" pages or anything. It should be bigger here.

Probably because we were so defiant of RMVX for being so shit.

The two biggest rpgmaker communities I've seen nowadays so far seem to focus on VXAce.

I'm trying to get into it. I keep thinking it's great but then always getting choked by the mapping, it is just so awful, such a terrible design that I can't believe they thought it was a good idea. As an editor though it is far superior in many ways, and there are thongs I'd certainly miss if I went back to xp.
