Emerald_EarthWhat very old/unmaintained software do you still use today, and why?
RPG Maker XP was released in 2004, nearly 20 years ago, and yet the entire Pokemon fan game community uses it exclusively. Pokemon Essentials, by far the best framework for creating fan games, is written for it, and is still maintained to this day. It’s such a large complicated project, with a huge ecosystem of plugins and resources, that it’s impractical to migrate to the newer RPG Maker software that has been released since.
Pokémon Reborn has been one of the best Pokémon fangames I’ve enjoyed. Never thought I’d see the day it was completed, but it was last year. It supports wondertrade, online battles, trading and more, and has custom terrain effects.
