still under some construction 3d rpg maker

They should rather make a better version of RMXP. RMPX is alright, but there are many ways to improve it. :/

I do enjoy Rpg Maker Penis X

Ah crap. ._.;

like doing what 2003 did and play movies, have airships, boats and that by defult (with no script), make the battle Background change depending on your terrain your on (such as on world maps, when your on grass, you fight on a grass battle field, when your on snow, you fight on a snow battle field) and having those area maps which you put on normal maps, that way in world maps, your not stuck with the same weak enemies without having to make a copy of the map (that's if you put encounters on the world map)

Exactly. Those are commonly used features and shouldn't require a script. :/ VX did a step towards that, but they downgraded everything else so much that it has become a degenerated shadow of its former version. i.e. The mapping is incredibly limited regardless of the fact that you have more mapping layers in VX than in XP. You don't even get the chance to use all those layers properly.

the layers are programed into the tileset. it makes it simpler and faster.

The mapping is incredibly limited

Compared to the XP version, it's much more limited. And I don't see where it became simplier since I don't remember mapping ever being complicated. You click on the tileset, you click on the map. Done. What is there simplier to make?!

I'd love to see a much more improved version of XP.  Some things that'd be nice is the ability to ADD layers to a map, not just 2 or 3 by default and then an event layer.  IMAGINE THE AMAZING MAPPING POTENTIAL OF A LAYER-UNLIMITED MAPPING SYSTEM!

What I'd like to see though is an RPG Maker that not only helps out with the design of the game, but allows you to select a coding language (so if you're good at using XNA/C#, C++, etc., you don't have to adapt to something like Ruby).

And going back to the original topic of 3D RPG Makers...it's pretty summed up that amateurs shouldn't dive into the deep water of 3D RPGs.  I'm sticking to 2D til I can iron out some aspects and learn to actually code my own system.  I may have concepts lined up for 3D games (the ENTIRE Chaotic Fury series), but I will NOT act on them til I have enough knowledge AND enough experience in doing this line of work.

What I'd honestly suggest to those looking to work with making 3D games: Go work with an editor for an existing game within your genre and make a few decent mods.  If you wanna make FPS games, go make a Steam Account, get Half Life 2 or Half Life 2 Deathmatch and mess around with the Source SDK (WHICH IS FREE).

Wanna make an action RPG?  OGRE would be perfect, or just learn to mod Oblivion itself.

The list goes on...

Stop reading my mind. <_<;

I agree. If you want to keep making amateur RPGs, stay with 2D. They are fun and you can still make a good game. Today's games focus too much on graphic so a good RPG game with relatively bad graphics (read: 2D) is nice for a change.

Completely seconded. Most games these days have far too many problems stemming from the fact that you need to spend two freaking months getting the engine to correctly move someone across a room (no textures yet) that most ideas that would make the game good and original and special have to be thrown out in lieu of time constraints, replaced with yet more shiny graphics that will no doubt hide the fact that you've played this game already. Only it was better the first time: when it was on the NES.

well concidering that RPG Maker XP can sinmulate 3d to a point *neon signs flashing and point to Mode7* but it's never really about the graphics, it's about the story and the features, if Final Fantasy I when it was FIRST created (not Dawn of Souls or a DS one if it's been released), if they had made it 3d, everyone would but scared, but if they had added the Soul of Chaos Dungeons and had the materia system (i know it conflicts with their default learning system but who cares, this is an example) people would still accept it

Mode 7 is about as useful as a one legged pony in an asskicking contest.
