As many you have been requesting for several months, we have been hard at work on a major performance enhancement for Pixel Game Maker MV games.
If you go to the new beta branch, Player Performance Preview, you can try an early test version of this new player component.
This new player should offer much improved performance over the existing player component, whether you are testing your game from the editor component or sharing a built game with a friend.
However, as it is still in a more experimental state, please understand that there could be more bugs in the standard release. We hope that anyone that gives this preview build a try will be sure to share your feedback with us!

Steel Sword Story Asset Project Data to be Released on October 3rd!
Dear players,
We're happy to announce that asset project data for Steel Sword Story - the Pixel Game Maker MV-created title just released on June 21st - is scheduled to be released together with a sample game on October 3rd.
Old-school 2D Side-scrolling Action Game Steel Sword Story Released!
Today we were finally able to release the Pixel Game Maker MV-created sword & sorcery action title Steel Sword Story!
Here we'd like to introduce you to some of the awesome characters you'll meet in the game.
■Azul Palan Brau
The story's hero. Former Aurum Kingdom Imperial Guard. A skilled young swordsman, he was wrongfully accused of a crime and exiled. Some say that it was his love for the princess that angered the king.
■Prime Minister Rufus
The prime minister handling the daily affairs of Aurum Kingdom in place of King Ouro. His political skills, both externally and behind closed doors, are excellent, but his origins are a mystery.
■Rose
Princess of Aurum Kingdom. Against her father's wishes, she has fallen in love with Azul, the Imperial Guardsman who has been protecting her since childhood.
■Ouro III
King of Aurum Kingdom. Extremely strict, but not cruel. Somewhat naïve due to inheriting the throne in a time of peace, this naivete is taken advantage of by Rufus.
■Minotus
Bull demons summoned from the demon world by Rufus. Their jump and squash attack is powerful enough to raise the ground. Be careful not to get hit by the flames they spit from their mouths.
These are the guys and girls who will be appearing in the game and providing the story with its heart and soul.
We really just can't get over these painstakingly crafted pixel graphics, and we're sure you're gonna dig them, too!
We'll be back soon with more character introductions, so stay tuned!
