Which is the best RPG Maker I could use to make my game?

This is Realm Walk of Soul, a YNFG-Like game, where you you play as Iris, a short haired pale girl exploring dreamy worlds, interact with weird NPCs, experience surreal events and solve puzzles, in development since 2013.

Have you found games that look way too similar in the Yume Nikki/RPG Maker&Misc circles? What do you do when this happens to your game?

Been working on this RPG in Unity for a while now, it's heavily inspired by Yume Nikki and Japanese adventure games from the Dreamcast era.
I'd love to hear what you guys think.

I've been working on this since more than 6 years and switched engines multiple times, until it became an RPG Maker 2003 game.

It's a survival horror game set in the far future were all humans mutated into deformed monsters. You play a roboter with the mission to liberate them from their suffering by finding the ultimate weapon of mass destruction and exterminating everyone so a new world can be created.

On your way you find various weapons and tools that you can use both for fighting and solving puzzles. Enemies have a limited vision radius so you can either fight or try to sneek past them.

The game is based on various nightmares and real life experiences I had and is intended to be a criticism of the injustice of life itself and more or less serves as a way of dealing with the frustrations in my life.

I'm still working on a demo that I intend to release at the end of this month. The combat system and most of the weapons and the enemy AI are already functional, but I'm somewhat stuck with making the 3d models for the enemies and spend too much time drinking myself away.

Hey guys. I've been working on a projct for quite some time (since 2015 actually) and finally got the kickstarter campaign approved! So today, I'd like to present to you guys Birthright Cataclysm Zero.


The game is an RPG about a vampire huntress named Aria Selnades and the princess of vampires named Maia Etranzi.

Both races are caught in a never ending conflict that almost caused the end of the world.

The war has recently entered a phase called the Birthright Cataclysm. The new generation of warriors are being sent to the front lines to battle each other and conquer the opposing forces.

To prevent my game from being 'yet another Kickstarter game', let me explain why I'm kickstarting this.

I've played games like Yume Nikki and .flow for a long time, I even recently became a speed runner for Yume Nikki, I'm very passionate about that game because it was very, very different, original and unique, and while working on my game, I kept feeling something was missing, something that could help my game 'be something'. It definitely carries some 'silent inspirations' from Yume Nikki as some scenes in and stages in the game come straight from what I love so much as a Yume Nikki player.

For those who wonder, all the money made from the kickstarter campaign will go towards the creation of original material such as artwork, graphics, music and assets for the game. I want it to gain its own unique identity and I can achieve that by hiring the talents needed to make my vision come true.

I'm currently figuring out some concept for a challenging boss battle for my game.
It's an exploration game similar to YN, so you don't really fight throughout the entire game, you dont gain exp, you dont increase stats, you just solve puzzles most of the time and collect effects. First i was thinking of some turn-based sans-like action but scrapped it, since the player might just be too weak to kill the boss with brute force. some bullet-hell dodging stuff ala omega-flowey sounds alright, but it needs some more of a catch.

Are there any amazing boss battles you remember that didn't require any grinding or leveling? I really dont want this stuff in my game. However I want a heckin painful boss battle with some out-of-the-box-thinking

They have a announced a new Rpg Maker
https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/news/842-mznews_20200611

From what is known right now I'm not sure whether it will be worth getting it, as it seems to be mostly the same as RPG Maker MV, while being incompatible with its scripts/plugins (And I've changed engines already too often on all of my projects). On the other side it seems that it will offer more eventing options similiar to the old 2000/2003 versions and it is also claimed that there will be some big new feature that many wanted. Supposedly there are some leaks, but I have no idea where to find them.

Hey friends. I need to make a jrpg quickly. I've been trying to make it from scratch in javascript canvas but that isn't going quickly enough. What tools should I use? It needs to be able to run in a browser.
