RPG Maker __Free__ Trial Vs Full Version: Does anyone notice any difference between the free-trial and the full version? I do believe they have the exact same material except the trial only lasts 30 days. Besides the 30 days, I have found RPG Maker to be the same.

RPG Maker: In Mrs. Obarski last email she sent she stated this: "If you started working on a premium version of a software you can continue working on it as long as the judge doesn’t have to download anything and can use it from the browser." By "premium" does that mean we can used the purchased software? Yes I think this is try but only as long as the judge doesn't have to download anything to be able to use it!! So I would have a friend test it before you develop it too far just to make sure :) Does that make sense? __Big__ problem people!!! The player has to download and unpack the compressed build of our game. To do so the judge has TO DOWNLOAD THE PROJECT!!!!!

RPG Maker Tutorial: You can view the **tutorial** here: http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/tutorial/rpg-maker-vx

I emailed the sponsors seeing if we can use the new version and am waiting an answer. I was wondering what you guys think? It's currently only released in Japan and the English version is coming out next month. The current version is RPG Maker VX and the new version coming out is RPG Maker VX Ace. Ace features a whole wide array of updates and changes that will greatly improve the quality of our games in my opinion. It has improved combat, improved maps, improved party, improved maps, and a whole bunch more. It will feature the 30-day free trial just like the current version that also has all the features of the full version, except it is 30-days. So what do you guys think? I'm not sure if I am allowed to post YouTube links on here but the RPG Maker crew released a trailer for it which you can watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JtfeC6vj34
 * New RPG Maker coming out next month. (Feb. 2012)**:

The sponsors just emailed me back about the new RPG Maker coming out next month as you can see in the question above. They said we are free to use any version as long as the judges don't have to buy anything. So we are free to use it!

Do I need to save my game as a certain file. I am using Gamemaker.

Does anyone know anything about the sandbox game maker how it works or know anything about it?
