RPG Maker MZ is a program for Windows accompanied with a powerful editor that enables users to create 2D role-playing games. Compared to XP, the engine here is based on Javascript instead of Ruby.
Powerful
It is possible to design various elements including maps, events and even mechanics without needing programming skills. Users can visualize complex interactions between characters with branching paths and detailed storytelling.
There is JavaScript integration, allowing you to modify game behavior and systems extensively. A plugin manager simplifies adding third-party enhancements meaning you can extend functionality without directly editing core scripts. On top of that, there is an asset library with high-quality tilesets, character sprites, animations and music tracks. Still, if you do not find necessary attributes, you can also import custom items for unique visual and audio experiences.
Animation
The application provides a revamped animation using Effekseer that helps you create dynamic 2D and 3D effects. The default battle system supports turn-based and action-oriented combat, with extensive options for customization to fit various gameplay styles, whether it is a strategy or one versus one genre project.
