RPG Maker 2003

## About This Software
## UNLEASH YOUR PASSION FOR RETRO RPGs

For the first time ever, RPG Maker 2003 is officially available in English!
This legendary game development engine is both highly affordable and easy to
use, and it remains one of the most popular RPG Maker installments to date. It
is the first engine in the series to employ a sideview battle system similar
to the classic RPGs of the early-to-mid 90s. If you have always wanted to
create a retro RPG with a third-person battle system, or simply are looking
for an affordable but reliable game creation engine, then RPG Maker 2003 is
for you!
## KEY FEATURES

* Side-view Battle System
Most titles in the RPG Maker series center on first-person, turn-based combat.
RPG Maker 2003 breaks this tradition by offering an engaging sideview battle
system that is perfect for fans of classic RPGs. Creating and managing your
game's combat is as easy as filling in a database and playtesting, with no
scripting knowledge required! This departure makes RPG Maker 2003 an excellent
alternative for game developers who are not particularly fond of front-view
battle systems.

* Straightforward Tools
RPG Maker engines are designed to be as flexible as possible while still being
user friendly, and RPG Maker 2003 is no exception. Virtually everything in the
engine is managed through a simple point-and-click interface. All of your
game's characters, enemies, skills, animations, and equipment are created and
stored in an easy-to-navigate database. An in-depth event system contains
dozens of functions to help make your story and world come to life, such as
custom messages, character movement, player choices, special effects, and
more. Plus, RPG Maker 2003's powerful map editor is extremely easy to master,
allowing you to craft your world tile by tile with unprecedented efficiency!

* Retro Presentation
Relive the golden age of RPGs with RPG Maker 2003's diverse selection of
16-bit default graphics. If you're feeling especially creative, RPG Maker 2003
allows you to import custom 16-bit graphics, including character sprites,
tilesets for your environments, battle animations, backgrounds, and more! The
engine is also loaded with a variety of catchy midi tracks and sound effects
for your game; custom MP3/WAV/MIDI tracks can be added as well.

* Share Your Game!
Want to share your creation with the world? You can export your creation in a
portable file that can be played on ANY Windows system! Plus, games made with
RPG Maker 2003 can be sold as long as you have the appropriate rights and have
followed the registration procedure. With some hard work you could become the
next great indie game developer!
