RPG Maker XP Ace

So, most everyone here has heard of, and probably used, RMXP before. Chances are also good you've wished that they would produce an Ace version of XP, like they did for VX. Well, they didn't and seem to have literally no interest in doing so. So what's to be done? Ah, well, there's a project going on by a small group in the RM community to do just that! The project has so far successfully streamlined the VXA engine into the XP system. So what does it do?

  • Lag Reduction: The newer Ruby Version 1.9.2 is about 5 times faster than ancient 1.8.1 and will give your game an enormous performance boost, especially if you're an avid eventer.
  • Hyperliquid rendering: The XP engine is well-known for its stuttering scrolling and the associated tearing (graphics being cut). However after you have seen how beautifully soft and silky smooth your game looks with the new engine you're not going to want to miss out on it any longer.
  • Improved font rendering: The VX and VX Ace engine implemented an improved font rendering which makes your game look more refined and pleasing to read.
  • 60-120fps: While XP's standard frame rate is at a puny 40fps you can set the frame rate in Ace's engine up to 120fps with a single script call.
  • Up to 1024x768 in fullscreen: in combination with a suitable script you can easily more than double your resolution from 640x480 to 1024x768 - in fullscreen too.

Interested? Well that's good! We have a demo of the system for interested parties to download and try out, and provide feedback on. You can visit us on the support site, and it will have the current download, support topics, and sections for recommended resources! If you have feedback, there's a section for that as well!
