We reported that RPG Maker Unite would be coming out today after numerous delays. As it turns out, it’s delayed again, albeit a short delay due to “technical difficulties” by Unity.
Currently the webpage incorrectly displays that the early bird special for getting the game engine at launch is no longer available, and there is no link to even purchase the engine. This obviously should not be the case.
There is no timetable for when these issues will be resolved as this is on Unity’s end, not RPG Maker Unite developer Gotcha Gotcha Games. However, the game will still officially come out first on the Unity store, then later for Steam.
Here’s a rundown on the RPG suite:
Announcing RPG Maker Unite – An Ambitious Project to use Unity for the next RPG Maker installment!
At Gotcha Gotcha Games, it is our sincerest wish to help aspiring game developers to create their own games without the many hurdles of game development. RPG Maker Unite is our latest endeavor to this mission.

What is “Maker series”?
The Maker series are game development software that dates as far back to the 1990s. We released multiple engines fitting different developer needs such as RPGs, Visual Novels, Action Games, and so on. While the past Maker titles were standalone software, we believe that with Unity’s capabilities and our 30 years of experience in making visually forward engines, we can provide an experience that makes the game development process so much easier!
