> Gotcha Gotcha Games will release PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of RPG Maker WITH following the release of the Switch version on April 11 in Japan, the developer announced. A price and release date for the PlayStation versions were not announced. The latest entry in the RPG Maker series has been tuned for console and comes equipped with a new “Asset Sharing” feature that allows users to create games together.

Wait, you mean that this time they are actually trying to make something worth it on console too?

Leaving aside the fact that for a "game maker" app mouse>>>joystick (so the pc version will always be superior) having at least the ability to share assets is already a big improvement.

That said... an useless one if the "player" app will still be bad like it is now (just go around the web and read the comments, the RPG Maker Player app console version is known to lag, crash randomly and so on)

@SPArcheon not sure about Switch but PS4 and i assume PS5 you can plug in a Keyboard and Mouse and with the exception of free text boxes you could use RPG Maker quite well with a controller

as for free text boxes, still a pain in the ass but atleast you have the onscreen keyboard

@Memor-X yea, mostly thinking about the "FUN(tm)" times writing all the dialogues and text on an onscreen keyboard.

That and the fact that you lose most of the PC version plug-in and sharing assets functionalities.

Seems that this new version will at least partially fix the second issue.

oh, wait....

> Some users have said they find it difficult to create games on their own, so RPG Maker WITH adds a new feature called “Asset Sharing” that allows everyone to create games together.

In previous RPG Maker entries, users were only able to publish completed games. But in RPG Maker WITH, in addition to publishing completed games, maps and events included in work-in-progress games can also be published as parts. Parts published by other users can be easily incorporated into your own games.

MY BAD.

I had assumed that "Asset Sharing" meant there would finally be a way to use custom made graphics but it seems that is still a big no.

So... the main issue is still there.

A game maker app that only allows you to use the default assets that come with the game.
