With the release of the 1.4.0 update, anyone who owns it now has access to the Linux version on Steam. So anyone wanting to make simple RPG games on Linux has access to a highly rated tool.
I know a lot of people prefer their open source tools, but these tools are popular and having them on Linux means the possibility of more people switching without giving up their favourite applications. Hopefully we will see more developers come over to Linux thanks to tools like this.
What makes this application so popular is that it takes away a lot of the more complex parts of making an RPG game, so it's an especially useful tool if you have great artistic skills, but perhaps not so great programming skills. It opens up making games for more people.
RPG Maker MV can now export to:
- Windows/EXE
- MacOSX/APP
- Android/APK
- iOS/IPA
- HTML 5 for Web Browsers
- Linux
That's a pretty decent list! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'm glad that it includes the editor as well. That's pretty important. Now we have one more engine.

Nice, I always wanted to create an RPG, but my creative anilities are more in line with world / story creation. Considerimg I was the game master for many many moons.
I own some of the previous versions due to humble bundles. I will be buying this to see what I can make.

Ouch on that price tag though.
I know it's cheap now , but I already bought a few games this month.
I know Liam was speaking in the editorial about us buying games and supporting devs on Linux rather than perpetually wait on sales , but on this one I REALLY have to wait on the next sale.

Hi, how do you know it ? Reading the chat, i can't see anything about the content, but the pretty bad soccer game.

Every time I see anything about the RPG Maker series I want to code a game engine that uses Perl for scripting tasks, but it'd just take too much of my time to really be worth the effort.
