With the release of the 1.4.0 update, anyone who owns it now has access to the Linux version on Steam. So anyone wanting to make simple RPG games on Linux has access to a highly rated tool.
I know a lot of people prefer their open source tools, but these tools are popular and having them on Linux means the possibility of more people switching without giving up their favourite applications. Hopefully we will see more developers come over to Linux thanks to tools like this.
What makes this application so popular is that it takes away a lot of the more complex parts of making an RPG game, so it's an especially useful tool if you have great artistic skills, but perhaps not so great programming skills. It opens up making games for more people.
RPG Maker MV can now export to:
- Windows/EXE
- MacOSX/APP
- Android/APK
- iOS/IPA
- HTML 5 for Web Browsers
- Linux
That's a pretty decent list! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSo, sorry to bring up an old topic here, but was just trolling around Atari forums and thought "You know, maybe I could use RPG Maker to recreate some of the great oldies like the DunjonQuest games! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunjonquest so then I started looking on humble bundle store (I think that's where I got at least one of the older versions of the program) and noticed their store page doesn't even show Linux support for RPG Maker MV. So I sent them a request to add that to their store page.
Anyone make anything cool with this yet?
RPG Maker MV is kinda pricey sadly :(
As for DunjonQuest, I am impressed about the one from 85.
Would not expect it too look so nice for that time.

Yeah, I played Temple of Apshai Trilogy a lot on my Atari ST back in the day. Never did beat it though. Lovely game!
