Verge stands for Vecna's Extraordinary Role-playing Game Engine, and has been
around for quite a few years. It was created by a fellow named "vecna" (oddly
enough), but has had many contributors along the way, turning it into what it is
today. Verge is now in it's 3rd incarnation (Verge 3 or just V3), which is by
far the most powerful version of this program we have seen yet. V3 introduces the ability to
create better graphics, better sounds/music quality, and many other features.
Verge is a game creation engine - this means that it makes the
process of creating a game much easier for anyone who wants to try his or her
hand at it. Its advantage over other RPG engines is its flexibility, and power.
This means that you are not stuck with the same battle system, or the same menu
system, these are all created by you, and can be anything that you would like
(however, there are battle systems and menu systems that have been created by
others that you can download and include in your game).
Although Verge is primarily for RPG's, the beauty of the engine is the
ability to create other types of games as well (flexibility). Verge 3 was not designed to create 3-dimensional games. Rather, its aim is to help you
create 'retro games' such as classics like Chrono Trigger, Final fantasy IV, V and VI, and Phantasy Star.
