Easy To Use
You might think it's hard to make great games, but it's a breeze when you use RPG MAKER XP. First, make a map that will serve as the stage for your adventure, then set up your heroes, enemy monsters, items, magic-everything you need for a good RPG. Finally, create some events and place them around the map, and your very own RPG is complete. Map making is simple and easy when you have tiles to work with! You can even use ready-made graphics for heroes and monsters, so all you have to do is give them stats and a names.
Effortless Event Creation
Townspeople, dungeons, treasure chests, boss battles - all of the things that help develop an RPG's story can be created through events. You'll find a wide array of events stored under Event Commands, from simple text and graphic displays to variable-wrangling technical tricks. Just select a series of commands and you've created an event. You can even find clever ways of stringing together these commands for more sophisticated events-or sneak in a trap or two.
Expanded Sample Data
RPG MAKER XP comes complete with tons of sample data, including graphics for characters, monsters, map tiles, magic effects, battles, and more. You'll never have to draw a single pixel if you use these ready-made materials to create your RPG masterpiece. Of course, you can also create your own unique graphics for games. RPG MAKER XP supports the PNG graphic format as well as MIDI, WAV, and Ogg Vorbis sound formats, making it easy to include your own original data.
