“Making a games? Need a dudes? Makes dudes. Is very good at dudemaking. Used 20mins, made a dude. Ezpz.”
“This is an okay program with a dishonest developer. After RPG Maker MV came out, the developer of the Game Character Hub said that he would support MV within two weeks, but then the upgrade got delayed. Then delayed…”
“You can add custom resources to this, ignore that other review. VERY useful program, highly recommended! Very easy to use and there are already tons of 'parts' out there on the net to import for use here. If you liked…”

“I cannot recommend this product ENOUGH. I purchased it alongside RPG Maker VX Ace and it's one of the reasons I've found that software to be so enjoyable (and that's a good product, this just greatly enhances its…”
“I grabbed the amazing Humble Bundle deal just to get this and believe me, it was the best $12 I ever spent. Good Points -Sprites are dead easy to create, and the animated preview window is a godsend. -I can make decent…”
“Excellent application if you're working with any RPG Maker engine. It's cheaper and more streamlined than Photoshop. (That's what I was using before.) It's very easy to set up the grid so you can rearrange and edit…”

“I've only used this for a short time and I find it to be a really powerful tool to work on my VX characters with. The price cant really be beaten for what it does if you're into rpgmaker and the like. If you're familiar…”
“Short list of Informations you may want to have: Its a very nice and easy way to create Charakters for the RPG maker especially if you want something that is not given normaly. For Exampel you can move and recolor the…”
“It just works. It takes like, less than an hour to learn how to screw around with it, and you're good to go. Just keep in mind it wont work with non RPGmaker stuff, or RPGmaker stuff after VX Ace, but if you work with…”

“I normally don't give immediatly bad ratings, bought it for 3,99€ and still don't feel it's worth it. Why? PROS: - have many character and face portrait parts... - layering, hue and other paint.net options... -…”
“Has very specific use. Lacks a lot of generator resources (clown masks, blood, scar, elven clothes...). Pretty much it uses the same stuff you have in the RPG Maker VX Ace built-in generator. The other functions like…”
“Good piece of software but very limited. Only has 4 ways with no options of falling down, sleeping, casting etc. I may recommend it if you don't have game maker VX ace but if you do, you can do almost exactly the same…”

“This is a relatively nice software for creating sprites and things, but it crashes so often just trying to perform simple tasks, or just with no warning at all. I just lost an hour of work because I tried copying and…”

“To be honest I used the GCH for making sure my sprites are in the correct place , to check the movement and other great stuff that I could do in minutes, but the developer said on December that we would get an update…”
“Dev promised free MV support, but they instead put up another version on the store for $25 making this one abandoned and obsolete”

“The program sells itself as an art program that is focused on game asset creation. In terms of the 'artistic creation' part, the controls are clumsy and you are given no real tutorial on how to create a sprite from…”
“It's quite possibly the most unintuitively designed program I have had the misfortune to use. I got the program as a present and I was stoked to use it at first. The tutorial file makes everything seem easy. Now if…”
“I'm developing my own game in my spare time, and it's hard looking for the right tools to get things together, hence sprites. And I don't want to use stock sprites either. This is where Game Character Hub comes in. It…”

“I have used Photoshop for my custom spriting and animation, but just got this today and found this to be very much helpful in making my animation aligned properly and framed appropriately (I use RPG maker VX ACE, btw). Before, it didn't look bad when I tested my current custom…”
— a player, Steam review · 53 hrs played“Despite what many people say this software is capable of making anything for RPG Maker Ace. The tools are self explanatory and very easy to use once you take the time to familiarize yourself with the interface. You can create custom sprite sheets, characters, even animations and…”
— a player, Steam review · 277 hrs played“While the software itself and its assets are great, there is a huge problem with the license of its contents. I purchased this software because it said we could use its results for our 2D games. Unfortunately, and to my knowledge it is still unclear to non-users willing to…”
