4 Comments

If you’ve ever wanted to make your own RPG, Fanatical’s RPG Maker Bundle is 98% off for a limited time, making it a super cheap way to get started. You can get two versions of the RPG Maker software for Windows--RPG Maker XP and VX Ace--plus a collection of bonus assets like music and sound effects to use in your games, and a selection of games built with the RPG Maker engine to play for inspiration for as little as $1.

Like many Fanatical deals, the RPG Maker Bundle sale includes three separate price tiers: Tier 1 is just $1 ($44.97) and includes RPG Maker XP; indie RPG-meets-farming-simulation game Edolie; and Last Word, a JRPG-inspired adventure where you use words and phases in “combat” against dinner guests. Both games were made with RPG Maker.

Tier 2 is $6 ($251.88) includes everything from tier 1, plus RPG Maker VX Ace and several asset packs. Finally, tier 3 is $15 ($484.76) and includes all previous products, plus a dozen more asset packs to bolster your content library. All product codes are redeemed through Steam, and your purchase also includes a coupon for 5% off a future order.

The RPG Maker Bundle deal is part of Fanatical’s BundleFest 2022 sale event, where many of the retailer's biggest bundles are discounted through March 20. There are many other bundles on sale, including other bundles that can aid your indie game development ambitions, and new deals go live each day of the event.

That's great but I highly recommend you buy tools for engines like Unreal or Unity instead, then you can develop real skills and sell them for a lot more.

@Barighm: If you just want to make a simple turn-based game though, this is a great deal.

@mcnichoj: Not really since RPG Maker games are more closed...unless something changed in the last few years. The point here is you're better off learning a more open and well known engine because then you can develop skills you can apply elsewhere. Learning RPG Maker will only help you learn RPG Maker which is hardly anything of note...unless you're just a kid or something.

@Barighm: You're not wrong but if someone just wants to diddle with RPG Maker, this is a pretty good bonus to diddle with it.
