Omega Lunar Map Editor, VX Map Editor Options

[Tsukihime]

I'm remaking the code. Unecessary, but well, I decided to take my time. You see, I recently realized people don't need this.

Maybe if people could actually use it and then right before it says "export to VX" it tells you that the demo is over, they'd be more hyped.
Can't really expect people to be going nuts over something for 3 months.

I WOULD BUY THIS THING. This is BEAUTIFUL!

*Pulls out his knife and fork and sits at the table, patiently waiting for dinner.....er the project.*

I also wonder why I'm doing all my parallax mapping the old fashioned way! Oh, well it's not like this will be my only project, I promise I will be giving this a go once it is released. Your Map Saver pack is already a great boon, I am positive I will love this just as much.

Keep up the good work, I support you!

I wonder how long will this wait gonna kill me TT

Thing is, I think he's planning to go a different route and remake it as its own rpg type of editor, separate from RM (at least from discussions in other communities). So that may mean waiting awhile longer, but at the same time could be worth the hassle, especially if we get an rpg editor that incorporates the things we've been asking for and EB fails to put in. A bit of competition goes a long way.

IMO it would make more sense to first build the map editor, release it, and then work on extending it to a full game maker.
I mean, the more time you give it and the more features you put on your list, the more likely it'll end up not being released at all...

That really could be an alternative. I really don't understand the programming language that goes into software creation, so it might be possible that it would create more work than it's worth to do it both. But from a user perspective, I can see the value of first designing it for a current maker in order to get potential feedback, and then breaking it into its own system.

One possibility might be, if he's planning his own type of maker, he'd need to also enlist his own resources, which could get expensive. Doing so may mean he intends to sell the product, which would be hard to do if he's already released it for an EB product like VX. After all, while the new maker may be more beneficial, a lot of people will be hard-pressed to buy a new maker with the same style of map editor when they already have it to use on VX.

Well, given the list of features it would seem like a much better map editor over VX and since maps are probably the meat of your game (well, you can have a great story, but this isn't a novel) having an advanced map editor would likely entice anyone into getting it.

Unless they're hit with all sorts of terms of use lol

Well Omegas7 it has been since July and news buddy?

This is just spam ShinGamix, it adds nothing to the topic. ~Jonnie19

Wow, this looks amazing!! I don't see a link to acquire this beautiful utility, where might one get their hands on it? Is it not released yet?

[Shaddow]

I believe he is taking it from a different direction, so it could be a while before we hear any updates about this.

Omegas hasn't been around since the beginning of September, and the last time he commented in this topic was the beginning of July. I think I'm going to close this for now since there hasn't been any valuable posts in over a month, and Omegas hasn't been around to provide any updates.

Omegas7 can report this or send a PM when he wishes to have it re-opened.
