Early Access for Pixel Game Maker MV is just over the horizon. Today, we'd like to share with everyone a message from the producers detailing just how the game came to be!
The Birth of Pixel Game Maker MV
Steam is home to many hit titles created using the RPG Maker series, such as To The Moon, etc.

However, when checking out trends among the various games sold on Steam, we saw that action games were really pulling in a lot of fans. We feel that this is thanks to the fact that, with Steam games available all over the world, language barrier doesn't tend to be an issue, and players from around the globe find it easy to enjoy action games.
This got us hoping that releasing Pixel Game Maker MV just might encourage players to create even more Maker series games, and so we jumped right into development.
Main Features
While there certainly are a large number of settings and buttons, etc., we're doing our best to ensure that Pixel Game Maker MV is as easy to use as possible. The software allows for the import of new assets and materials, so importing the assets scheduled to be made available on the official website should help provide some great ideas for animation settings and more.
Additionally, we've included all-new features such as physics and co-op/multiplayer battle play, further increasing the possibilities for the types of games you can create.

Once you get the hang of the software, you'll be able to create amazing games without any coding required, with virtually no limits but your own imagination. The sample games we've made available were created by a single graphic designer, so be sure to check out some of the things that are possible with Pixel Game Maker MV!
