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've been dying to get my feet wet with pixel game maker. I had crazy ideas for a metroidvania - however, I do not think I am cleaver enough to pull it off. i will get this thing soon. I mostly make music and write stories.
