What is RPG Maker XP?
RPG Maker XP is a software for the development of Role-Playing Games, created by the japanese
group ASCII, part of the Enterbrain company. RPG Maker was first
relased in Japan, then in Hong Kong and in Taiwan. RPG Maker XP was also
relased in english language. RPG Maker XP (also referred to as RMXP) is the first RPG Maker which can use Ruby,
making it the most powerful, programming-wise. However, many normal,
simplified features present in RM2k(3) have been removed. Most of these
features, however, have been programmed with Ruby, and distributed
online. RMXP runs at 1024x768 resolution (though games made in it run at
640x480), while offering four times the playable area of its
predecessors. Additionally, it allows greater user control over sprite
size (there is no specific image size regulation for sprite sheets) and
other aspects of game design. This more open-ended arrangement, coupled
with the inclusion of the Ruby Game Scripting System (RGSS), makes RPG
Maker XP more versatile than older versions in the series, at the cost
of a steeper learning curve. Upon the release of Windows Vista, many
users experienced compatibility problems, although the fix was
relatively simple. XP used a front-view non-sprite
battle system that allowed for the use of Battle backgrounds
(Battlebacks). Both characters and enemies had static battle sprites,
and the interface was quite simple.
