Announcing RPG Maker Unite - An Ambitious Project to use Unity for the next RPG Maker installment!​

At Gotcha Gotcha Games, it is our sincerest wish to help aspiring game developers to create their own games without the many hurdles of game development. RPG Maker Unite is our latest endeavor to this mission.

RPG Maker series has always been known for its easy-to-use eventing system and user-friendly interface. We decided to up the ante further by using the great features of the highly popular Unity engine!

With RPG Maker Unite's codeless system and Unity's powerful features, the RPG of your dreams is closer than ever!

■What is “Maker series”?​

The Maker series are game development software that dates as far back to the 1990s. We released multiple engines fitting different developer needs such as RPGs, Visual Novels, Action Games, and so on. While the past Maker titles were standalone software, we believe that with Unity's capabilities and our 30 years of experience in making visually forward engines, we can provide an experience that makes the game development process so much easier!

■Major Features:​

●Create RPGs without coding!
With RPG Maker series' powerful command system and editable parameters, users will be able to rapidly create systems without any sort of coding knowledge!

●Beautiful resources to make compelling games!
Streamline your game development process further with our library of assets! From audio, characters, enemies, world biomes, and more, you can create a game immediately!

●An enhanced Map Editor!
Want to improve your maps further than before? RPG Maker Unite will also feature support for pre-rendered backgrounds and object-oriented map structures. Elevate your game's presentation with our new tools!

●Featuring an established and versatile Database System!
RPG Maker Unite, like its predecessors, will also provide a premade database that is necessary to create an RPG! It will include Character stats and classes, items, abilities, monsters and so much more! You can customize and add your entries to stand out!

Please stay tuned as more information become available!

So apparently they're using Unity but with a customized Editor UI and some custom framework on top.

Why do you hate Unity?

Why do you hate Unity?

I was wondering the same thing. I guess some people dislike it because performance issues in demanding 3D games, but for 2D retro/indie stuff like this why in the heck would you want or need UE5?

Seems like for this case, ease of use/speed of development >>>>>>>>>> performance and graphical features.
