As someone who has not played your games, I can only say the following, having been interested from the start as a fan of d&d and wizardry type games:
*The graphics used for your characters and monsters are from Pioneer Valley games, and are sold as dlcs to the RPGmaker engine. I know, I own them as well. I'm sure they can be used in other engines as well.
*Many of your older games had UIs which looked almost identical to the rpgmaker interface. I'll agree that this newer one looks different.
*Rpgmaker can be tweeked to use many combat systems. There is not just one.
*New U.I. and new battle system are not enough to make a new game. Content is. I trust CRPGNut when he says your games feel the same, since he tested multiple ones.
*When you came on here as Dragongamedesigns, Ripper accused you of being affiliated with Ellis Studios, which you at that point denied. Wouldn't it have been better at that point then clarifying things rather than flat out denying a connection?
*Those who have played your games (Fluent and RPGnut) have one major complaint, and that is how unpolished your games are. Its a real pain playtesting games. I've done it with everything I've tried to make. Its much more fun designing things. Its also something hard for one person to do. It would be much better with a beta tester. Ellis Studios and Dragongame designs have announced six games in the span of maybe a year and a half. That gives the impression that you don't spend the time necessary to produce a super product.
*All this and the fact that you only sell your games through your own websites have turned me from very interested to very sceptical, and I think that's a shame. I don't know you, how you develop games, or the motivations behind how you've chosen to market your games. You seem to have a passion for rpgs. Clearly if you wanted to make money only you'd make crappy action games. On the other hand, the strategy you have chosen to market your products hasn't done you any favors
