Introducing RPG MAKER VX ACE Lite!

[Jesse66126 4]

It's a free version of VX Ace. I think they're finally copying Game Maker's method.

It looks about the same, but you're limited to ten common events, characters, enemies. It would not open my current VA Ace project either, so I guess you'd have to create a new one and copy your stuff over. For anyone wanting to try it out, here's the link they sent me:

I don't know why they sent me this since I already paid for VX Ace, but w/e.

Ikr, I already got ACE so there's no need to download this. If it could open ACE projects, then it could be like ACE on the go. Just install it on a computer while you're away from home and you can work on your project from there. That would've been worth it.

[Jesse66126 4]

it can't open reg. ace due to it's trial-like limits. It can't comprehend a game with more than 10 common events, enemies etc. It's intended for you to only use it if you don't have VX Ace, otherwise, you'd just activate Reg. Ace on a laptop and use it anywhere.

So this is just like the trial/demo? Probably want more people to buy it so they're giving you a taste without it being a trial.

[Jesse66126 4]

yup that's it exactly. it's like Game Maker, where they block out a lot of the features to motivate you into purchasing.

Interesting, though the limitations kinda suck except if the game was to be really simple.

[Polraudio 122]

At least they still give you access to the scripts. With access to the scripts you can bypass every limitation.

So if you know what your doing you could technically have the full thing for free.

 

I was snooping around the registry and it looks like the lite version is set to expire in 2020 for me at least. so i guess you get to use it for 8 years.

It does NOT come with the RTP resources and no commercial use is allowed either.

 

btw-It was announced Friday. Aren't you guys running a little late?

We were all distracted by the cute, white girl killing herself.

 

That and I just got the email about it this morning to download it.

I have no idea what" We were all distracted by the cute, white girl killing herself." meant

I guess I get news early for some reason.

It's the Family Guy quote I used it in reference to Amanda Todd's suicide which quickly gained over half the country's attention, despite there being over 35,000 suicides each year in the US alone.

Peter Griffin: "You know, like all of America gets distracted when a cute, white girl dies."

[Cutaway to an overturned bus, with a policeman holding a clipboard and the press standing by]

Policeman: We regret to report that not all the children on board the school bus survived. We have identified the body of one victim: 9 year-old, Becky Gunderson.

The Press: Awww.

Policeman: [Reading from his clipboard] No, wait. That's, uh, Becky Gutierrez.

The Press: Oh.

Journalist: That's not news.

So then would this be better than the 30 day trial?

Also, I wish they would release the face and chara gen as stand alone software. Its annoying opening ace just for that one feature...

They sort of did. It's very limited at the moment though.

Thanks, I'll try it out.
