Multiplayer Co-op Support in VX Ace?

Wolfton · 2014-10-05T04:24:12+0900

Hi all, I've not seen any posts asking this question directly, but is RPGMaker VX Ace (or are any of the products) capable of simultaneously supporting multiplayer games - like Ikari Warriors, Contra, etc.? I'd like to create a game where multiple players can move to separate tiles and any one of them can start a combat instance that sucks the whole party in. Is this possible in any of these products? If so, which ones?

simply NO...

RM is only for single-player, offline games.

There are some fan-made scripts for older versions that enable network/multiplayer support, but all tries to make a multiplayer script for Ace have failed so far due to the massive amount of work and programming knowledge.

There have been several tries and it looks like someone started a new try a few weeks ago, but there is no information if or when any try will be successfull.

Somebody made a coop-game (though I think it doesn't have the normal battles). But it's a single-client coop (you're both playing on the same computer, in the same instance of the game)
