These are some pretty enticing new features, I have to say...

Here's another browser-based demo someone who has the engine early made, they say they made it in about 20 minutes to test Touch controls and HTML5 support.
They didn't put any music since they were mainly testing touch controls and browser comparability.

Woah... That's incredibly to say the least. They probably switched to javascript just so it could be used for browser compatibility.
With that in mind could the HTML5 versions be exported to Nintendo's HTML5 framework and played on the wiiU?!
Nice. It isn't working on Chrome, though. Maybe the final version will?
Also, the default menus are not very good to use with a mouse. But I think that would be easy to change specially now that it uses javascript.

Touch controls were interesting. Did not see any interactive objects so I assume it was just a control test?
Either way seems like a better method than arrow keys.
I don't see why in theory it couldn't. HTML5 is HTML5. Unless Nintendo pulls an mid-late 1990's browser "tag-is-only-good-for-us" sort of deal where they reinvent the entire HTML5 specifications with their own tags, it should be possible to port to anything that supports HTML5.

this is great news.
Might be time for me to become a wiiU dev xD.
On an unrelated note but still a serious question is anyone in here interested in teaming up once this is released and trying to make something? I'm a mid-range to beginner programmer (I'm technically a web developer but have taken enough programming classes in web languages like java, javascript, PHP, Objective C, etc that I know all the basics and a few intermediate things). I'm comfortable with other forms of RPG maker and have made a few incomplete things in other RPG maker games.
I'm not much of an artist or writer though.
Out of the box it's perfectly capable of making FF4-6 type games. With scripting, you can do pretty much any (2D) JRPG of the 16/32 bit era and more.
If you put in enough effort you can do some really insane things. It doesn't even have to be a RPG (even though, other genres don't work es well). Could even be something like this (made with XP):

You can make games far better than early FF games with RPGmaker without even knowing how to code. RPG Maker at its core is basically an FF 1&2 engine. To go beyond that you have to know some code.
I cant promise any artwork because that's to much of a workload (still improving digital art) but I can definitely write up story's and characters no problem.
If we can get a small team going that would be great.

Any legal way to take advantage of that price?
Are you in SEA? Otherwise, no.
I'm just going to assume you're in the US or Europe, so the cheapest you can buy that's not region locked is from Norway. It's $58.
What I would contribute would only amount to what I can throw together in my free time which can be variable. Story is definitely important though so if you could take care of that.
As far as art goes art is just not my thing we would definitely need a dedicated artist or suffice with the pre-made assets. It probably goes without saying but I obviously could not pay anyone for this.

too soon to do a competition. and considering the price i'll wait a bit.
if it's on steam it'll drop quick.

Yes, most versions didn't receive a price drop until the next one was out on the market for a while.

The resolution stuff is still the most exciting part about it. If I can make grimy low-res 320x240 games, I'm there. It just hasn't been the same since they doubled the resolution, and I need to go back.

I might've understood you wrong. But you can actually make more than FF1&2 without coding. You can make an action RPG, some minigames, and smaller stuff like puzzles and simple platforming without knowing code.
I used to make a lots of systems like that back in RPGMaker 2k, specially minigames.

Kinda in the same situation.
I only have enough time to tackle one aspect at once at the moment. If I go beyond that I have to eat up free time.
Free assets are all over the internet so that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm also not in the position to pay anyone
Me too on both counts, Sovan -- I did the same thing with VX.

Yes! This looks excellent! I won't have the money for a while, but whenever I see it on sale I'll definitely snag a copy. HTML5 and mobile support is a gamechanger for me.
Velsarbor? But that looks more like Terranigma (especially since many graphics are from Terranigma). Made with RPG Maker 2000, several years ago.

Would you be able to do a pixel perfect project that scales properly like you can in say gamemaker, etc?
I have to add:
The project has never been finished and has been canceled by now. However, all of that has been done without coding, since it was done in RPG Maker 2000. And 2000 and 2003 don't have scripting, that was only implemented with XP and forward. So, yeah, even without coding you can do some incredible stuff.
The hard thing with RPG Maker Project is'nt to come up with great ideas and write a interesting story, fun minigames, make beautiful maps and find awesome music to it. It's to limit your self to not include to much of the good... It's so hard to finish projects because you always aim to big.

This looks really fun. My God it's expensive though? What exactly justifies the $80 price tag? The pre-made art/sound assets or is it more so for being a platform that can execute HTML5?
Well I mean professional game development software used to cost in the $1000's.

Thats a good problem to have hehe..
Anyone knows if you can record your own voice and use them in the game when characters talk to the player, I might try creating a very simple game for my 5 year old.

Man, the Javascript feature got me good, but I'll probably get it later, I'll see what the community can do with it before making my decision, looks pretty good thou.
Windows built in recording software and then just import the sound files to the database. There isn't a built in tool for it though.

$80 is dirt cheap compared to some other game creation software.
