    Good if you want to make 2.5d-style RPG games. Also consider support the developer if you're serious to use this engine.

    Though I use RPG Maker VX Ace the most, RPG Playground is an excellent alternative. Lacking some features, but I'm sure it will have them soon. The developer is very talkative and takes everyone's suggestions. I'm sure it will grow into an amazing game creation website one day.
