Some of the 'modifications' for our expected maker have been revealed. Most of the new changes that we've heard of include a change in the window font, a pre-existing dash function, better frame rates, and a 'Beginner' function. It's also been announced that RPG Maker VX comes packing a whole new whollop of resources for developers. I won't ruin the details; check out the RPG Maker VX Functions page that's been created.

About the Material of RPG Maker VX

Posted October 10th, 2007 at 8:00am CDT by Llaandr

Today Kawashima has updated the TKool Blog, bringing us some new information regarding RPG Maker VX's resources! Some of the old has come back to this maker as well as some new stuff been introduced. As most know, RPG Maker VX will be just a slight modification from it's predecessor, but there will be some changes to the material in which we make our games with.

Minor Tileset Modifications

It was mentioned that the tileset will slightly differ because of the new auto tile feature.

Character Sets Will Have up to 8 Characters

The introduction of RPG Maker XP's resources was a successful production that offered simple methods for making your RPG more beautiful. However, the characters for RPG Maker VX will bring back the innovative 'character set' featuring 8 characters on one file just like RPG Maker 2000 and 2003. The direction is said to differ though.

Facial Expressions of the Characters

Facial expressions are now a new entity in the process of creating your RPG! From the looks of the new screenshot offered on the TKool Blog, it seems as though characters will have the ability to aid in their ability to sociolize by showing different emotion. Below we see the sprite with the red hat expressing shock with an exclamation mark above her head, while her faceset has its mouth open.
