Hi, so I've recently got a greenlit on Steam Greenlight, and I was wondering how you would go about uploading the game to Steam. I've heard about Custom Encryption being an option, but I'm not sure how you would go about that. I understand how to export the game from VX Ace, so please don't tell me that. I want to know how to get the.exe from the folder that is exported, and use that as the. There are several versions of RPG maker, with MV being the latest and most fully featured: MV ($79.99), VX Ace ($69.99), VX ($59.99) and XP ($24.99), 2003 ($19.99). Engine imposes arbitrary limits. For example, it only supports resolution up 640x480 in VX ace, and 816x624 in MV.

Installation guide:

Before installing RPGM VX Ace, make sure to install the following programs:

Export Vx Ace Games To Mac Operating System

Wine Stable (the latest version will be automatically installed), follow the steps below.

If you have any other previous versions of Wine, you must uninstall them because there are known incompatibility between the Wine Meta Package (available in Linux Software Manager) and Wine Stable 3.0.1.

To uninstall previous versions of Wine, you can do it directly from the Software Manager by selecting REMOVE. There are several packages and libraries connected to Wine so if you want to be 100% sure they don’t conflict with Wine Stable, just remove all of them (Mono, Wine 1.6. Gecko…). Don’t worry, Wine Stable will reinstall everything that is needed.

After you have deleted everything open the terminal and type:

~ $ sudo apt autoremove

This action will clean up all packages which are no longer connected to your system.

Next, update your system to prepare for the next installation

~ $ sudo apt-get update

Now that everything is ready, let’s proceed with the installation of Wine Stable: If your system is 64 bit, you need to enable the 32 bit architecture.

Now, carefully follow the instructions given in WineHQ website for your particular OS then come back here (pay attention to your OS version):

If too complicated, see the example below:

Download and add the repository key:

Ubuntu 16.04

Linux Mint 18.x

sudo apt-add-repository ‘deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main’

Update packages:

As there have been a couple of fixable bugs in the past. Before installing RPGM VX Ace, you have to install Winetricks. You can install Winetricks directly from the Software Manager or you can do it via terminal.

~ $ sudo apt-get install winetricks

As usual, update the cache:

~ $ sudo apt-get update

Now, it’s time to fix the bugs I mentioned before:

Open Winetricks
Select the default Wineprefix
Install a Windows DLL or Component (If this is not present in the menu, select Install Application, OK, then cancel and you will see it listed as first choice).
Select Quartz.dll

Confirm with OK, close Winetricks, open the terminal again and type:

~ $ winecfg

The Wine configuration windows will open.

Select Libraries
Where there is “New override for library” type quartz
Edit quartz
Load order (Native Windows)
Click OK and Apply

The second bug can also be fixed in the Libraries of Wine configuration:

Select Libraries
Where there is “New override for library” type winegstreamer
Edit winegstreamer
Load order (Disable)
Click OK and Apply

Optimal Settings:

Windows Version (Windows 7, higher versions may cause troubles)

You are finally ready to install RPGM VX Ace

Right click on the RPGM VX Ace installation icon (/RPGVXAce_Multi.exe) and select Open with Wine. Wine will create a virtual C drive and every Windows apps will be installed there. DO NOT CHANGE THE DIRECTORY EVEN IF PROMPTED!

If you have been working on a project you can just copy it to the Documents folder (Home/YourUserName/Documents). You don’t have to keep it in the C virtual folder. Just open it from RPGM menu.

Although RPG Maker doesn’t officially support building games for other platforms than Windows, some people have succeeded in doing so. All available options will be explained in this blog post. So if you know of any other options to port an RPG Maker game to other platforms, please contact me or leave a comment below, so I can improve this article.

RPG Maker is probably the most popular tool to make your own JRPG’s. Unfortunately, it is only available for Windows, and can only create Windows games.

As far as Enterbrain (the creator or RPG Maker) is concerned, Windows will remain the only platform that they officially support. This is extensively explained in a forum post on their official website. The general conclusion is that it’s technically too difficult or costly for them to support other platforms. RPG Maker heavily depends on Windows only technology, which makes it nearly impossible to go beyond the Windows platform.

Final Fantasy, the mother of all Japanese role-playing games

Although technically difficult, exporting RPG Maker games to other platforms has always been a mayor feature request, and I’m sure Enterbrain had many attempts to do so. In 2012 for example, someone named Mitchell declared on Steam that they were working on supporting other platforms, and it even got confirmed by other reliable sources. But since then nothing has turned up, so I’m afraid we can assume that all these efforts were in vain.

So if exporting your games to other platforms is not officially supported, what options are there? Well, let me explain what’s currently known on this subject.

Don’t use RTP resources!

Export Vx Ace Games To Mac

First of all, if you ever intent to port your game to non-Windows platforms, make sure you don’t use any RTP or RTP derived resources. That license is very restrictive, and doesn’t allow you to use these resources on games that are not using the RPG Maker Windows engine. So if you don’t want to get sued, stay away from using the default RTP resources.

Use MKXP for Linux/Mac

The commercial game “To The Moon” was created with RPG Maker XP, and was successfully ported to Linux. It uses the mkxp library, and it is probably the most straight forward way of porting your RPG Maker game.

It is an open source library that provides the same Ruby Game Scripting System as RPG Maker XP (RMXP). And if I take a look at the libraries used, this could also be used for a MacOS version of your game. Since it’s Open Source, a good programmer should be able to make it available on MacOS X. But remark that this is for RPG Maker XP, and not the newer RPG Maker VX (Ace) (RMVX).

Porting your game to another engine

When you want a version of your RPG Maker game to run on other platforms such as iPhones, iPads, Android tablets or phones, you will have to do some manual porting. This means using another game engine and programming language to reconstruct the logic of your game.

The first game engine that comes to mind is Unity 3D. It supports plenty of platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, OSX, Linux, Web Player, PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360), isn’t too expensive, and has a large community.

Tone and Thickness. Tone and thickness determine Captain Steele's physical appearance and will most likely factor into appearance descriptions. Tone refers to muscle definition and is scored from 0 (featureless) to 100 (chiseled). Thickness refers to the body and limb width (relative to the height) and is scored from 0 (scrawny) to 100 (stocky). The parameters of this body part that can be currently altered are type and tone (color). This section refers to the skin of the entire body, however s
