The creators of Pixel Recreation Maker MV and RPG Maker have introduced a brand new sport engine, Motion Recreation Maker and this one is being constructed on prime of the Godot open supply sport engine. That is in the end a alternative for Pixel Recreation Maker MV (or PGMMV) though it won’t have ahead compatibility with the favored 2D engine.
Particulars from the announcement of Motion Recreation Maker on Steam:
To additional obtain that unique imaginative and prescient, we’ve chosen Godot Engine to be our new engine base. Godot Engine is a quick rising engine with lots of actually engaging options for us(which I’ll go over in my future letters). Nonetheless, regardless of all the eye Godot has been receiving, the swap from Godot 3 to Godot 4 known as for the elimination of Godot’s visible scripting system. This introduced us with a tremendous alternative. We knew we wanted to supply extra to our customers, and now Godot was missing in a operate that we all know rather well! And that’s how the present plan was kicked off.
For example, one of many massive points with Pixel Recreation Maker MV was the bottom engine, cocos2D-x, made it very tough for us to increase our API and make extra features obtainable for you, our customers, to entry. By deciding on Godot Engine, we’re working in direction of offering principally unrestricted entry to all of Godot’s 2D performance by means of our scripting system.
Moreover, we’re certain that you’ll consider use instances or features that we haven’t! In spite of everything, it takes lots of creativeness and fervour to make a sport! And so we’re ensuring that ACTION GAME MAKER’s editor features are extra extensible and versatile than earlier than, so we could be extra agile in addressing your suggestions.
This isn’t the primary time they created a brand new engine on prime of an current one. Final yr they released RPG Maker Unite, a horrible implementation of RPG Maker constructed on the Unity sport engine. Hopefully this effort goes higher than that one!
