Valk over at the Pavilion made a "History of RPG Maker" feature.

I figure some people over here may not have seen it, so check it out here:

I found this article entertaining to read, in that educational sort of way. ^_^

... Why I used to think that the Final Fantasy series was probably the only video game franchise that confused us Americans on the way they numbered their sequels because not every installment made actually came to America, I don't know. It was interesting to learn that this kind of situation was also true of RPG Maker/Tsukuru.

It also makes me feel better about Lantis and myself having to botch remaking SOE on RPG Maker 2 in the beginning, after all, since this article reaffirms that user friendliness wasn't exactly a factor in that particular installment. ^_^

You can always do that after production wraps up on the RPGM1 version.

... Or I can choose to have a life after Arc Arath.
