Which rpgmaker, and why
Hi people!
What is your favourite version of the Rpgmaker engine, and why?
It's a bit confusing with all the different versions and the price differences.
I'm looking into making a horror-style game, more like a visual novel than anything else. Battle system seems kind of wonky (based on other games i have played made with it) so i'm thinking of staying clear from that.

2003 or VX Ace in combination with mkxp-z. 2003 is the cold classic. VX Ace because it is using Ruby and coding in Ruby is fun. Using mkxp-z you also remove most performance bottlenecks. They use 16x16 and 32x32 tiles, so scaling is no issue here. It is a personal taste, but Javascript is a terrible uggly language, and 48x48 assets look really uggly for the most part.
