The concept of the program itself is great. It gives you the possibility to create your own role-playing games without needing extensive programming knowledge, in an easy, simple, and intuitive way. Certainly, to get the most out of it, it's preferable to know some programming, but it's not essential, as with use, you will discover for yourself all the possibilities that RPG Maker VX Ace offers. Its language is simple, and there are tutorials on each and every option and tool it includes, which are many and varied, such as the automatic creation of enemies, levels, heroes, etc... The possibility of importing the images you want to use as the character's portrait.

RPG Maker VX Ace, like every RPG Maker program before it, comes with a fully loaded library of presets for you to play around with and use at your leisure This helps to alleviate the extremely steep learning curve that is inherent to the program. Native documentation and helps are sparse and vague when it comes to the actual mechanics and utilization of the different game variables and settings. Fortunately, another one of the best things about the RPG Maker series of programs is the die hard user base that provide third party support in a multitude of ways. There are plenty of freeware RPG Maker games, demos, scripts, sprites, tilesets, animations, tutorials, etc. available in vast amounts for anyone to use. Some of these media additions are now being sold for low prices due to the advent of content marketing platforms such as Steam, but the availability of information and media is still quite abundant.

RPG Maker was designed to focus on a particular genre (japanese role-playing games) and it does it particularly well. Just like GameMaker, RPG Maker provides a visual editor that allows beginners dwelve into game development without that much of a hassle, while providing more experienced developers with a scripting system, based on Ruby, with which more complex systems can be developed, like a jib system, advanced inventories, and even overhauling the battle mechanics.
