          | Well I'm "Basic" in both languages but I know how to use them, I'm just looking for a good Rpg Maker that uses python or VB, and I'm looking for a good one. I used Rpg Maker then I just gradually started learning python then learned VB this was about like 6 months ago and my end of a 6 year run with Rpg Maker. 
 Theres just one thing I'd like to be able to code, "Mode7" and Diagonal with the 4 way movement shouldn't be hard with either language.

          | Game Maker's GML is based off of Delphi and C#, not python and VB the ones I'm familiar with. |  |

          | I think "Mode 7" is a mode for the Super Nintendo platform.  I doubt that any rpg maker will support it, though they might have some of the same features. 
 I don't think you'll find a program for making RPGs for any particular console, only for making them for PCs.
 
 You'll probably have to learn a new scripting language for any rpg maker, but it shouldn't be hard to do (especially since you're already familiar with python and VB).
 
 I plan to buy a book about Game Maker myself.  I may use Game Maker to make a few simple free games, but I mostly just want to use it to inspire development tools I'll have to make for the RPG I plan to start programming in a few months.

 Contact me. I develop custom solutions with Python.
 If your project is non-profit, I may be inclined to build it at no charge.
 However, if you plan on making money on your project, then I would require contracts and royalties. send me an email to ccpsceo@gmail.com
