Comparing the RPG Maker Unite (Unity 3D RPG Maker) new game engine list of features and database to RPG Maker MZ, MV, and all the others to each other. This video ended up being a bit longer than I expected, but hopefully someone can find it helpful.

In general, Unite retains most of the features from previous RPG Makers, with a few important exceptions. Certainly not as polished as earlier RPG Makers, but might still be useful to some developers.

  • Troop events exist. You have to right click the enemy troop, and there should be an option to add an event. I had to look this up in the documentation because I couldn’t find it either.

    I find a lot of things interesting about this new engine, but it's always weird to me how some things are made more difficult to do or removed entirely with each new engine.

    I bought RPG Maker VX back in college. I still have it and am working on a personal project right now. So seeing all these crazy new features and menus are cool!

    RPG maker is what got me into the whole game making hobby, the previous makers the UIs were intuitive but lacked the advance features. This iteration has the advance features but the UI is the opposite, confusing.
  • As I understand it, all of the major changes, such as the jump from Javascript to C#, as well as the consolidation and cutting of certain RPG maker features was to make sure it adhered to the Unity Engine's limitations. RPG Maker Unite isn't so much an RPG Maker Engine powered by Unity as it is a utility added onto Unity to make RPG Maker style games. I don't doubt for a moment that Kadokawa is busy cooking up their next proper iteration of the engine that will also inevitably disappoint its longtime users.

    Damn, I thought you were dead. Nice to see that rpgMaker finally has an easier and more friendly codebase behind it. I expect this to be a pluginner's paradise.

    you were quick with this 1 SRD. glad to have u back
  • Thanks. This is the most in-depth look at Unite I've seen so far. Very handy for those of us on the fence about the new engine.
  • wow!! I have a lot of great memories binging your vids back in 2016 trying to figure out MV for the first time! It's nice to see you back with another great video :)
  • Good to see you're still out there. I kinda miss making stuff back in the day with RPG Makers, however they were pretty limiting, but with those limits allowed for more progress of actually creating the story and the game itself in a way. Interesting to see this carried over into Unity.

  • @SomeRanDev
    Thanks for watching! Did I edit too fast? Was there a setting you missed? You can check out this video on my second channel of unedited footage of me showing every setting in RPG Maker Unite one by one. Happy RPG Makering! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMnpaCDjhhc

    What a treat! I was hoping there'd be a bigger push as we got close to release but it's been radio silence from a lot of rpgmaker groups. Hope you're doing well and may the algorithms bring you fortune
  • @Mimimo
    I've been moving on the engine since XP > VX > VX Ace > MV > MZ without any problem. But I don't think i can move to this new Unite. The UI is confusing me , I mean... yeah I've used the Unity before, but I love RPGmaker tradional UI because it was very simple and easy to use or understand, even the middle schooler have no problem using it.
  • @AutMouseLabs

  • @CreepyfishBOY
    This video is awesome! Thanks for making it! RPG Maker Unite has been a dream come true for me. Also huge shout out to Unity's profiling feature- really great for debugging frame rate issues among other stuff.
