RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

[Valkysas]

Advance copies of RPG Maker 3 should arrive at the homes of the pavilion's main staff by tomorrow afternoon, with me and highwind possibly getting ours in a few hours.

So, you can request things you want to know, or things you want us to try with the software here, and we'll report back ASAP. kire, highwind, and john mora have other things to do that may make their assistance in this limited (although kire is equipped to take screenshots and such), I have cleared absolutely everything in my schedule this week to dedicate every hour I'm awake to this.

Things you dont have to ask for, as they are what I'll do as soon as I get the game:
Character model list
Enemy model list
Weapon model list
Object model list
Building model list
Scan of the back of the packaging

So yes, you'll have the lists you've been begging for (and agetec is working on a list of these things with graphics that you'll be able to download in pdf format)

if there is anything else you want, say so here. I'll be going over everything, but it would help to know what people want most, and what kind of events people want tested in advance.

Day and night feature?

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

we already know a day/night transition and weather effects are built into the game.

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

I would like to know what kind of options we have for cutscenes and the sort, like effects and camara movement and what not.

Camera. Not to be confused with Gamera.

And I'm curious to know just how limiting the battle system actually is, as well as if the reported sluggishness (of the DBS) is easy to work around, or able to be worked around at all.

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

okay, writing all these down, keep them coming.

remember that I dont have a hard drive for my PS2 (nor does anyone getting advance copies, as far as I know) so I won't be able to see how much that effects load times.

I would like to know if it would be possible to make block-pushing puzzles.

How rapidly can characters spin around?

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

i'd like to know about character portraits and how many there'll be. like, say you're fighting a dragon for a boss, and you're talking to it before the battle, will there be a picture to go along with that particular monster? or is it just for human speaking characters?

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

People can't speak to dragons. You're crazy.

no, you're crazy. dragons can speak to people. i've seen it! i didn't want to believe it at first, but... it's true.

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

one more question though...

can you see character portraits for your party members when you open the status menu/screen?

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

Alright...

1. Are there any options to change character stats on a whim, and what are your first impressions on this customibility?

2. Will there be a camera zoom function?

3. Will there be an option to customize a button like in RPGM2?

4. Can you adjust trails/blur like in RPGM2?

Re: RPG Maker 3: What do you want to know?

I would hope for the character list...


...and a ham on rye.
