After 5 years in development, I am proud to announce that my son has posted the initial release of OpenRPG Maker. Development on the editor is over 90% feature complete, and game engine development is currently under way, with incremental releases coming soon.
Please give it a try, and post positive/constructive feedback in the sourceforge forum, thanks.

I'm looking forward to trying Open RPG Maker. It looks like a cool program. A couple of notes:
I tried signing up for the forum, but I haven't gotten the email yet. I checked my spam folder, but it's not in there either. You might want to look into that. :)
I run OpenGameArt.org, which is an archive of art and music for open source games. We recently ran a contest called the Liberated Pixel Cup, where we had people make 32x32 tile based RPG graphics, which I'd encourage you to include with the program:
[LIST]The original art set that we started with: http://lpc.opengameart.org/static/lpc-style-guide/assets.html
The art entries for the contest: http://opengameart.org/lpc-art-entries (they're of varying quality, but I encourage you to check through them, because there are some really amazing ones)
We also have a big set of 16x16 tiles and sprites: http://opengameart.org/content/oga-16x16-jrpg-sprites-tiles
You might also check out some of the music we have too. The only thing I'd advise you about our art is to make sure you include a credits file with it. I can help you with that if need be.

Anyway, keep up the good work! :)

I pointed Justin (the creator) to OpenGameArt.org. Not sure he has had time to fully look through it before release. He plans on getting a few more features finished in the editor and then he will create a tutorial. He will likely be looking to OpenGameArt.org for artwork at that time. OpenRPG Maker should be able to handle those just fine.
