Wrong forum. Reported for move to the Game Creation forum.
Yes, it's easier but more limited. RGSS is a version of Ruby, which is a real programming language, so possibilities are unlimited. However, to make such a system is Game Maker, you would need to know GML, which is a more limited scripting language.

No, Gamemaker is harder than rpg maker xp. With gamemaker you need to get all your own resources(Well, some are provided) and its much hardier to get your game working and looking good. But Gamemaker is not for making rpgs, all though you can, its much more difficult.
And are you sure it has a more limited scripting language Twar3Draconis? I dont know much about it, but how can a scripting language that supports 3D graphics be more limited that one that doesnt. Well like i said, i dont know much about that.

So if i want my megaman battle system ill have to use game maker
The GM engine is universal in use, but it is not specialized. RGSS cannot use 3D with the default because it was not included in the code and engine, however you should be able call external dlls and the WinAPI. GML supports 3D, but you'll have to code that out yourself, along with making the data. I don't think GML can utilize the WinAPI. If you've already paid 60 dollars for RMXP, why switch over until you are sure that what you want cannot be done, although with RMXP is can be done. For example, if you can get all the code in the RMXP script editor, along with the hidden code and you use the RGSS102E.dll, you should be able to interpret RGSS from Ruby, while GML is specific to GM itself.
I use Game Maker 6.1 and it's the only language I have just about mastered.
GM
-Can make RPGs, (if you are a god)
-Can make 3D, Platform, RTS, MMO, Online, TDS, FPS, etc. You name it, it can make it.
-Slower than other languages, but can be extended with DLLs.
-Creates EXEs for your games that do not require external resources and files.
-Does not come with a Prebuilt Battle, Movement, NPC, etc system.
-The list goes on.
RMXP
-RPGs can be made, even if you're a n00b.
-Prebuilt, all you really need to do is design areas and you have yourself an RPG within no time at all.
-The list goes on.
GMers tend to view RMXP as a n00b program... Why? Because almost everything is simple and user friendly.
RMXPers, well I don't use RMXP a lot, but if I did, I would see GMers as people who have WAY too much patience. (it takes years to master GML enough to where it is useful.)
And yes, RPGs can be made in GM. If you want to see a sample, visit this site: My Showcase @ 64 Digits.
Oh, and I found a Mega Man Tutorial... I don't know if it works, but here's the link: Mega Man.

You said creating exes for youtr game doesnt require external resources and files. What does that mean and game maker is better but more complicated
Game Maker "Compiles" all of the resources, data, and the such into a single file, called an EXE. You know the Archive, Game.rgssad, that RMXP makes when you publish your game? Well, GM does that, except it's included in the EXE instead of in the open where people can steal your resources. (not that EXE hacking hasn't been done before, but it's much safer.)

true i realized that thanks for the info dforun81 ill try using game maker with that tutorial you found
RMXP : is my best program for creating RPG game without headach
but is my worst for creating Platform Game I love Game Maker for this reasons
well
GML = is easy than RGSS
and for ppl who said gamemaker is worst
in my view he will be more famous than RMXP
1- the game which made by gamemaker is EXE ( you don't need RTP or something like this)
2- no one can hack your game resources
some game are realy Heavy made with GM :
I see an RPG game called ARK22
and don't forgot gamemaker can handle 3D games too ^-^
and yesterday gamemaker 7 was releasd

Uhm, it's only easy to get resources from a exe if you know how. Different encryptions etc. The encryptions were released by some crackers for game maker anyway. So even easier.PrinceXP;165081 said:

The thing about gamemaker is the overall layout, its harder to make maps and such, Its hard to get characters to talk(in text boxes I mean). And its just harder to use, I'd prefer RPG maker. If gamemaker ever changed there layout and some of the "message" features, I'd use it.

Hmmm, really depends on what your preferences are, I think. Hehe
