The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A patient, tinkering experience where you slowly piece together your own 3D RPG world using a toolbox of editors rather than playing a pre-made adventure.

About

Sequel to RPG Maker (PSX) moves the roleplaying creation experience into the 3D realm by harnessing the power of the PS2. RPG Maker II offers everything players could need to bring their own fantasy game worlds to life. Build original worlds from scratch using a variety of 3D tools that include: a character editor, map creation tools, visual FX editor, script editor, and monster animation. By providing fully rendered 3D models for all the characters, monsters, backgrounds, and items, RPG Maker II lets you write your own stories and make them come to life. The roleplaying creation kit offers over 200 characters and enemies, more than 250 objects, and an infinite number of Magic/Skill abilities, weapons, equipment, and items, a help feature, up to 8 MB of storage, keyboard and camera compatibility, and more.
