You *can* use the free version of GMS2 to learn the engine, then switch when you want to produce a game, but that's a big ask for someone that doesn't even know how to use the engine to think about now. Sadly, since only newcomers will be the ones to make this calculation, you need to include the learning time. Since it's subscription-based, which of the two is the better value depends on what you want to get out of the engine. Since there's really no reason to use them nowadays, especially with the lack of support.įor GMS, there's been a lot of fracas recently about the changes to the subscription model. Around $80 for the two latest entries (MZ/MV) and less for the latter ones.Īrguably, the latter ones, especially those without the easy scripting interface, should be free. Right now, the prices are, imo, quite high for RPGM products. I guess I can answer questions, from the perspective of someone well versed in the RPGM series, with less experience in GMS.Įarlier versions of RPGM were, basically, free (in that there was no official US support).
