If you fancy yourself as a bit of a storyteller, then you might want to take a look at Degica Games’ RPG Maker MZ. The powerful adventure-🏅building software will be launching on PC via Steam at the end of August, adding a host of new features and enhancements to its previous edition.

, developed by Kadokawa Corporation, will once again offer a huge plethora of tools and resources with which to conceive, create, and cultivate your own deep and engaging role-playing-games. RPG Maker MZ allows for the creation of lay💫ered maps and environments, finely detailed c🗹haracter sprites and portraits, and intricate battle systems.

You can schedule events and surprises, even design animations for movement and attacks. This new edition features support for various plug-ins, and even its own open-source particle creator for spectacular effects. But if you feel you might not quite have the skills to build your own quest from scratch🦩, the package comes with a catalogue of pre-created scenarios to help you find you🌟r footing.

RPG Maker MZ looks to be a very deep and complex package, but offers enough pre-made resources to get users up-and-running, encouraging experimentation and allowing indie devs to efficiently build toward the launch of their own amazing fantasy adventures. RPG Maker MZ ain’t cheap – the Steam edition will retail for around $80 – but if you’ve ever fancied taking a stab at creating your own Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy-style adventure, 𓃲this could prove a great place to start.

…Just don’t actually make a Legend of Zelda adventure. Nintendo tends to frown on that.
