A double decker of GameDev news today.   First, we have the RPG Maker Festival 2025 launch, with over 1,000 RPG Maker titles on sale, but most importantly, you can get a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace completely free, but for just one week only!

Second, we have a new Humble Bundle of interest to game developers, the Game Programming By Pearson Bundle:
