Whereas the RPG Maker series is firmly about the first camp, Pixel Game Maker MV falls into the second. I find that with every game creation tool there are three core desires: building levels within an already functioning set of systems, building a game from scratch using easily understandable interfaces, and tweaking with simple code and programming functions to achieve a result on par with the “professional” packages such as Unreal or Unity. The ethos is still there in Pixel Game Maker MV, a sister platform that switches genres to action side-scrollers and top down Zelda-likes, but with the increase in complexity between turn based JRPGs and action games, the maker itself also becomes more complex as a result. Kadokawa Games’ long running RPG Maker series has always managed to tread the line perfectly between accessible interfaces and powerful customisability, allowing non-developers to turn out work that matches faithfully close to their original vision. Where do you stand on the issue? Do you support Nintendo or do you think they are overprotective? Let us know in the comments.As someone who writes about games I’m always both fascinated by and apprehensive of the jump towards developing my own: I have a level of head knowledge about systems, stories and mechanics that work from a larger scale, but each time I try to translate these into a working set of systems, I hit a whole new set of challenges to overcome. However, many are quite disappointed to see the end of some of their favorite fan projects. Nintendo has always been known to be very protective of their properties, so this doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Pokemon Essentials allowed fans to create their own Pokemon games using assets including sprites and music. We will not allow Pokémon Essentials or any of its assets to be hosted or distributed on PokéCommunity.” It doesn't need to be a bigger deal than it should be. “Today, the Pokémon Essentials wikia and all downloads for it have been taken down due to a copyright claim by Nintendo of America,” said PokeCommunity admin Marin, “Please don't freak out about the claim, and there's no reason to get angry with Nintendo or anyone else involved.
The tool, which is hosted on the PokeCommunity message boards, as well its related Wikia, will no longer be available online. The tool has been used to make many Pokemon spin-off games, some of which have also been banned by Nintendo, over the past few years. Nintendo served a takedown notice to popular Pokemon fan game creator Pokemon Essentials.
