Title: Rpgmaker 2k3 no longer free.
Post by: mironic on January 07, 2016, 01:28:47 AM
since the introduction to steam, looks like all downloads of rpg maker 2k3 have been removed and replaced with "buy now" downloads starting at $19.99.

thats a 2000% increase in price ;D

That's not how percentages work.

Well... If one wants something free one could use RPG 20XX...

Well to be fair they weren't really free before. It's just a pirated copy of a Japanese software with a fan translation.

Hmm so that's why they were destroying all links to the pirated Tsukuru version. I suspsected they did it to make us all switch to the Steam version to make a profit off even the most stubborn of makers

XD Said the fellow who once was known for saying 1000% as his catch phrase in my day!

Given how much enjoyment we all got out of it, it's probably worth the money : p

As someone who recently moved all their 2K3 projects over to the official Steam version, I feel obligated to say that people are definitely missing out if they're still using the pirated versions. The new version fixes a whole bunch of problems with what we had before (especially the speed of the ATB bar during battles, which is by far the best improvement ever!) and also adds a bunch of cool new functionality (such as being able to directly copy/paste eventing to text so that you can quickly create tutorials or show-off your code). The official version is really nifty :D
