It seems that Express game maker is allot like Game Maker in this aspect but what types of games can be coded? And is there going to be a programming option or some type of scripting system for advanced users? Or is the event editor the equivalent of RPG Maker XPs Scripting system?

What I had in mind is can Express game maker create these types of games?

- Pokemon
- Sword of Mana
- Legend of Zelda
- Mega Man Battle Network
- Street Fighter
- Real time stradegy
- Tactical RPGs
- Final Fantasy(and can create or try all of it's battle systems)

And the Genre's

- Action Combat System(Zelda/Sword of Mana)
- Final Fantasy Esque Battle Systems
- Pokemon Battle Systems

Features(hopefully)

- Mode 07/2.5D


Also can we do button combinations for attacks in a abs system?

By what I saw till now in the closed beta you can make the following:

Side scroling: Jump and run, Shooter, Action, RPG
Top down: RPG, jRPG (will be more work for the battle system), Racing
Point and click quest

I'm not that sure about strategy games but you can pretty much make all types of 2D game genres with EGM.

Curious as to how Damage(Pop up) Numbers will be done..
Really hope there's a system beyond the eventing(really doesn't look like much in the screenshots)

But from what you said I should be able to code a perfect Zelda battle system.

Zelda is an action RPG game. This can be done in EGM.

Actually when playing around with the particle system i made an effext where a short peice of text would appear on the character for a little while so i am sure that it is quite easliy done.

I was talking about scripting/programming.
But on the good side is that the full release is pretty much only a few weeks away^^

It can be done in RPG Maker...
And anything RPG Maker can do, EGM can do better... and without frustrating limitations! ^-^

Yes, it is possible. Will it be on the same map or different maps? If same map, it will require some extra "work" such as modifying the gravity by eventing when you want to switch between modes.
