And I don't really know where to post things, so I'll start here. Thanks for the tip Andar, I don't have a steam account but maybe I'll make one.Hey, I'm new here. VX is costing more than I thought right now anyway. And if you deecide you want to change the scenery of a map, you can't do this in vx without erasing all the stuff you put down.īut vx does have a lot of advantages with the processing and stuff, plus lots of cute graphics.I guess I'd like to have both, I'll wait for a sale. Seems like a waste to have an event for a stationary background item. They don't need that much space cause I hardly ever use em.Īnd with the auto layer, say you have a flowerpot and a table both from the same tileset, that means if you want to put the flower pot on the table it has to be an event. A big annoyance is that you can't put normal tiles in the autotile spots, because they take up at least half of all the available space. And theres not a whole lot of room in them to begin with. Also there's a ton of really cute free use furniture but to use it you have to add it to your interior sets which is tedious. Only to find it's in another tileset, but I can't change to that one or I lose the stuff I already put in a house. I know you don't need furniture for a cave area, but often I'm making a house and I'm like this kitchen needs a fridge, or wheres that little fan it can go in the bathroom. I just would rather have a few medium or big tilesets than a bunch of tiny ones. One additional hint: If you own both makers, then you can use their resources in each other (might need a bit reformatting as they use different tile structures).Īnd if you look for a steam sale you can find both for under 10$ several times a year. That said, the main advantage of XP mapping is the manual layering - which is more work when mapping, but also give you more control on how to structure your maps.īut if that is more important to you than the many database improvements in VXA, that is something only you can decide. If you cut together specialised tilesheets depending on what you need on a map, that size limitation is not really that great a limitation. You don't need book-tiles or furniture-tiles in a forest, or tree-tiles when mapping the interior of a library. That is why in VXA, people usually make different, specialised tilesets depending on the map they're making. The larger the tileset is, the more resources are blocked by it and it will create lag in both the editor and the game. There are some things you should take into consideration here, for example the reason why the tilesets were limited. (MV is too expensive for me to think about, but I am only interested in a 32 size tile system anyway) Also I hear these go on sale sometimes, what is a good way to be informed of that? I don't have a lot of money for pleasure. So I'm very much leaning to xp but I would like to see peoples thoughts on it, and also to ask if there is maybe a way to buy the right to use the vx graphics but not the program thatd cost too much. I don't really want to start all over but I know I'm gonna have problems all the time if I pick vx. The character generator in vx is extremely handy and you can easily edit the sprites colors and such. I would have to make all my own sprites which I might not be any good at. I even edited a few of them to make my characters, but if I get xp I won't be able to use any of those graphics. On the other hand I don't like XP sprite system, how tall they are in comparison, and I really like the vx face graphics. I definitely do not like parallax mapping, so this puts more limits in vx. I also think xp layer system is so much better, because you don't have to do all in one go without messing up. I think if I buy vx, I will always be struggling with the tileset limits. I even went and manually cut all of my favorite tiles and pasted them in one tileset, but I still feel like I never have nearly enough room. I can't get over the limits of tiles in vx, and I would prefer not to use autotiles at all but they take up like half of all your space. Problem is I hate vx's tileset limitations, but I really prefer the sprites and character faces. Hello I'd like some advice on which product I should pick, I've been using the free trials but was thinking about buying one.
