RPG Maker VX Ace is a game-making tool for creating an original role-playing adventure, rather than a single authored campaign. Its design centers on an editor that lets creators shape a world and its contents through visual tools, with no coding knowledge required for the described point-and-click features.
A map editor provides the foundation for building locations, while a database organizes characters, skills, equipment and other game elements. A flexible Features system supports customization, and event options let creators add interactions; the tool also supports Ogg Theora video. Multiple tilesets and a built-in character generator for sprites and faces give projects a range of visual building blocks, alongside a collection of default graphics.
Once a project is ready to share, it can be exported as a portable EXE for Windows systems.
