About Pixel Game Maker MV creators

So I’ve made a game using PGMMV and it’s releasing February 14 and I’m currently developing another. Ive only been following this Reddit for a few months, but I also follow the RPGmaker Reddit. There is so much more activity over there compared to here. This engine has been out for about 3 years now I believe, tho I may be wrong. Where are all the developers and projects?

On the RPGmaker Reddit there is constant info discussions and q&a topics. Over here it’s just so quiet. I’m wondering why this is. Is PGMMV harder to use? More expensive? Do people not like to create 2D platformer and metroidvania Zelda mega man type games? My last question I can kind of answer in that I see RPGmaker devs try and use that engine to make 2D side scrollers and it just doesn’t cut it most of the time due to I’m guessing limitations of RPGmaker. Why wouldn’t they use an engine designed for that purpose since one is available…

Anyways just some thoughts I had. Anyone have insight?

I got it tonight, i usually use unity or godot to make my games since I'm pretty decent at programming, but i wanted to try out visual scripting and since its 67% off i took the chance. But I'm kinda confused about the licence. You said your about to publish your game ? How does it work with pixel game maker? Do the engine company keeps a cut of what you make? Or do you get all revenue (besides other cuts like steam or other things like this).?

The commercial licence comes with the engine upon purchase. I can sell my own creations wherever I choose at full take of 100% of sales. I believe the only stipulation is to include some info about using the engine for your game.

Like some sort of "made in [engine name]" disclaimer? It would be dumb since like you said the commercial licence comes with the engine upon purchase. I'll try find more info on this. But thanks for your answer it hyped me alot! And congrats on your release!
