Do I Bother..?

[Storytailor]

Hey all, so I haven't had time to even set up RPG Maker MV yet, much less get a Steam account so I can run it on my Mac (which apparently is needed :'(). Having never actually been an active member during a new release, is it worth it to download the game maker and everything right away? Because it sounds like there are a lot of bugs, one involving a data leak that would kill my laptop, that concern me greatly. Does this stuff get fixed relatively quickly? I'm still in the planning process of my game, so I'm willing to wait a bit to toy with the game maker if it means I'll get a more wholesale, playable product. Any thoughts?

I understand what you mean. Even if you don't use it right now, let's hope they patch this s*** up ^^

Pretty sure it'll get a patch or two.

Pretty sure it'll get a patch or two.

Any idea of when that may happen? Do patches take a month or so to get done, or is it within a week of release..? My main concern is the data leak since my 2008 basic laptop already struggles to just turn on and load in a decent amount of time (I even went through all of my files and deleted anything I deemed unnecessary... and then backed it all up).

My guess is a patch will come out within a month. I don't think it's gonna be a week. I can see there might be a few leaks in the program because, just like anything else, they were working towards a dead line.

Ah! Those deadlines that shouldn't exist in the first place. Especially when they use the hype tactic to get people excited to buy their products. I wish that trend dies, so they announce stuffs once their coddings are nearly perfect with little to no issue at all xD

I guess we can't ask the moon, don't we? :(

indeed. we certainly do not live in a flawless reality. hehe
however, if you watch star trek... we might be possibly moving to an advanced future. which means everything is more developed. and everythign is also free! no money exists

 

[Rise Evil]

It would help greatly if money doesn't get involved, so we might have a chance to avoid any unfinished things to get released sooner and bugged. I think I've said enough and go back on this topic before getting wrists slapped by LTN Games xD

You migth not have memory leaks on the mac version. If it is a leak in the client, then it migth not be there one the mac version since a Darwin port is so troublesome that they might just have made a native OS X client. And using steam is easier then makeing it a app store app.
