Recently i've been using the engine and it's been incredibly stable, haven't had a crash in days. I even loaded up a 5K image and animated the sprites inside, and while it slowed down it didn't crash. So i'm willing to turn this review around. Hopefully it continues to work well for me. I love this thing, but at the moment its almost unusable, ever since i started using it it just keeps crashing randomly, every time between 10 and 20 minutes it crashes, so after every single action i'm saving my project. I have tried uninstalling, installing it in different storage, i tried verifying the files. nothing seems to fix it. I have no idea what is going on and it's absolutely maddening.

This program is near perfect for new gamedevs. It's got a decent selection of tutorials, simple UI, and basic (yet flexible) visual scripting. The biggest flaw in my opinion, is the lack of export options (PC only) But if you're a new developer and are choosing between PGMMV and its sequel (Action game maker), then I'd tell you to try PGMMV instead, (preferably on sale of course).

Pixel Game Maker MV is an interesting alternative engine that allows to quickly build prototypes and is powerful enough to envision larger games. I suggest starting with really small projects instead of going straight to a Megaman or a Metroidvania especially for those who are not familiar with gamedev. Like all engines there is a learning curve, but I think that the visual scripting-like approach for managing animation states is rather unique and allows simplicity with the potential of doing more complex stuff. There is a lot of built-in features like database and movement management and camera settings that care spare a headache to newcomers. However there are also some limitations that can be bypassed with creative solutions or the possibility to code. The Switch export possibility is very interesting and might be worth considering as it is included in a decent price (if you get it on sale).

Still getting to grips with this system, but it seems like a sturdy little engine. It looks like it does everything I need to make some nice top-down Zelda-like games, fun platformers and cool scrolling beat-em-ups, amongst other things. It might take a while to get to know all the functions, but once it's clear what does what it should be a great retro game development engine to use.

Highly recommended. This engine will take a couple of weeks for you to learn, and then you can do basically whatever you want with it in 2d gaming. I have massive projects in this engine, and have experienced no real issues. A few crashes in the years it's been out, and nothing else. I'm posting this review after reading a lot of negative reviews from people who haven't spent but 20 hours with it. It's a game engine...20 hours makes you a tourist. I highly recommend this if you want to make games and have no coding experience.
