RPG Maker 2000 (RM2K) is the second Microsoft Windows version of the RPG Maker series of programs developed by Enterbrain 〔(GameSpy: RPG Maker 2000 )〕 and published by ASCII. RPG Maker 2000 was originally released as RPG Tsukūru 2000 (RPGツクール2000) in April, 2000 in Japan. Although, outside Japan, it has only received weak distributions among Taiwan and South Korea markets, it has undergone unauthorized translations into various languages, and illegal distribution via Internet. RPG Maker 2000 was the most popular RPG maker of its time; being discussed on many popular websites, and enjoyed a large userbase for many years. This was amplified by the fact that many popular RM2K sites refused to adopt RPG Maker 2003. RM2K was first taken over by RPG Maker 2003, but has now been superseded by RPG Maker XP and is no longer as popular as it used to be. RPG Maker 2000 was also one of the RPG Makers to be illegally translated and distributed by the Russian programmer Don Miguel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=to "RPGMaker2K" Users )〕 On July 7th, 2015 the Humble Game Maker Bundle went live. In the bundle was coupons for 90% off classic RPG Maker titles, including RPG Maker 2000. As of this date, RPG Maker 2000 is now officially available in English on the Humble Store, with a Steam release pending and set to release later in the week. ==Features== Compared to ''RPG Maker 95'', RM2K features lower-resolution graphics than RM95, using 16x16 tiles instead of 32x32 tiles, but has other visual improvements such as a higher frame rate, weather effects and panorama backgrounds. It also includes an extra layer for tiles, jumping characters, additional functions and customizable message and menu boxes. ''RPG Maker 2000'' uses a 320 x 240 screen resolution for playing games, and has 16x16 pixel tiles, with 24x32 character sprites. Its default green message-window and menu systems are one of the first signs that a particular game was made with RPG Maker 2000, although it can be customized. Some may view these low-res graphics as a limitation, but they could also be viewed as an advantage, because the low-res graphics are not only more compatible with older computers, but sometimes they can be much easier to draw. RPG Maker 2000 uses a Dragon Quest-like battle system which features a classical turn-based, "front-view" battle system, where the enemy faces you directly on the screen and you do not see your characters on screen. With some tweaking, the battle system can be made to look somewhat like a "side-view" battle system. The music featured in RPG Maker 2000 consists of a large collection of MIDI and, less commonly, WAV files. Through the use of unofficial patches, MP3 files can also be used, though reliability with said patch has always been an issue. RPG Maker 2003, the successor to RPG Maker 2000, has included official support for MP3 files by popular demand from its users. RPG Maker 2000 was the first in the series that introduced the "Runtime Package", also known as "RTP", which was also adopted by the later PC versions. The RTP is a whole set of default graphics, music, and sound effects that are used in RPG Maker 2000 and, in most cases, the RTP must be downloaded to the computer to play the games made with RPG Maker 2000. Thanks to the RTP, created games can lessen their file size if a lot of material from the RTP was used. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RPG Maker 2000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
