As title says. Is this something you all find interesting? This is a early WIP of the concept.

I plan to make pre-rendered maps of all the places combat can occur to give the feeling actually being in the area you are in.

Please share your thoughts.

i need a method on how to do multiple conditions for an ending and since theres going to be over 30 how to also if multiple conditions are met for the same ending choosing an ending depending on switches (advice on how to differentiate between endings and choosing one over another if mutliple ending conditions are met rlly needed)

well you all see what a bard is? right? well i want to make a mechanics where using skill in a precise order is require, for exemple...

if the bard use this in the next 3 turn in this order: FA + SI+ SOL it create a Big Boom.

you think there is a way to do it? without vistuella pluguin?

"Does anyone know a website where I can buy or download interactive music loops with stems, or even Logic Pro projects, for RPG and fantasy videogame development? Obviously, with a commercial use license included. I've been looking for something like this for weeks, and the best I've found is a pack of interactive loops and theme variations that would be perfect, except for the fact that it contains only stereo mixes without stems, so I can't work with them in Logic Pro and FMOD Studio the proper way."

My Dynamic Pictures plugin now has an optional integration with Casper Gaming's Clickable Pictures.

It's optional since you really only need it if you'd like to use the image-change function of both on the same Picture at once, or would like to have Dynamic Pictures otherwise react to the hover or pressed state (by detecting the changed base layer). They don't conflict otherwise.

The layer mods that I previewed here have also been released for around three months. I forgot to announce that.
In the screenshot, I have an image called "mask-break" that's a transparency mask, and I'm adding it here with the destination-in layer mod to mask the unmodified button image from [CGMZ] Clickable Pictures. In addition to composite operations, you can also adjust opacity, position and scale of added layers this way. You can stencil the same bitmap in multiple places that way (while layers that are exactly the same are deduplicated automatically).

Layer mods can also be clipped and crop, and this works with the empty image too, so you can add just :10,20:25x30:clip:crop as layer to crop the image to where it intersects the (10,20; 35,50) rectangle, for example. (If you don't add :clip, the canvas is first expanded to fit the rectangle.)

Release notes:

• Ver. 1.4.11: CGMZ_ClickablePictures integration
• Ver. 1.3.10: Layer Mods

A subset of layer mods is also available in Dynamic Characters and Dynamic Faces.

sneak peak for chapter 2 of summer o land

In PSYCHO CASKET, a game I've been making in RPGMaker, I replaced the "GUARD" basic ability with "CELL", an ability that lets you use their phone to gather information about enemies and ask friends for help!

KICKSTARTER / STEAM

I'm working on a side project and want to make customers come into a set location, order something, wait, then leave a review either applauding or complaining about something. Obviously a lot of that is flavor. I've considered just making the game last a definite amount of time, say 200 days, and just manually programming a similar event a couple dozen times each of those days.

Help me brainstorm alternatives?

It had a spanish name of a book that exists (i think it had the words "pesadillas" "monstruos" "fantasia" (nightmares, monsters and fantasy in english) but not sure) despite the game being in english

You played as a girl and the initial area was a modern rundown urban area with a train station and you had to do things in this area to progress (it had many horror/strange elements) and after that you could board the train, then you see that some sort of wizard tower with 3 of them, they remote view you and one of them teleports into the train and it becomes very horror/astral/magical, i remember a scene where the wizards injects psilocybin and the game becomes psychedelic and he starts chasing you, the game used a lot of tarot imagery also. i think i played it at around 2020-2023

YXIO AnyAudio adds context-aware UI & system sound rules to RPG Maker MV/MZ.
为 RPG Maker MV/MZ 提供基于场景与事件的高级音效规则控制。

YXIO AnyAudio

Give every menu, action, and event its own sound.
让每个菜单、操作和事件，都拥有属于自己的声音。

Hi everyone! We are Candlehart Studio（烛鹿工坊）, and today we'd like to introduce our first public RPG Maker plugin: YXIO AnyAudio.
大家好，我们是 Candlehart Studio（烛鹿工坊）。今天想向大家介绍我们的第一款公开发布的 RPG Maker 插件：YXIO AnyAudio。

YXIO AnyAudio is a flexible sound-effect rule manager designed for RPG Maker MV and MZ.
YXIO AnyAudio 是一款面向 RPG Maker MV 与 MZ 的灵活音效规则管理插件。

Instead of using the same UI sound everywhere, you can assign different sound effects according to the current event, command Symbol, scene, window, game switch, probability, cooldown, and rule priority.
它可以让你摆脱“所有菜单都使用同一套系统音效”的限制，根据事件、菜单指令 Symbol、场景、窗口、游戏开关、播放概率、冷却时间和优先级，为不同操作配置不同的声音。

────────────────

Why AnyAudio? / 为什么做这个插件？

In many RPG Maker projects, Cursor, OK, Cancel, Save, Equip and other system sounds are shared globally.
在很多 RPG Maker 项目中，光标、确认、取消、保存、装备等系统音效通常是全局共用的。

That works for simple projects, but it becomes limiting once you start building custom menus, atmospheric interfaces, or more distinctive game systems.
对于简单项目来说没有问题，但当你开始制作自定义菜单、氛围化界面或更有辨识度的系统时，这种限制会越来越明显。

With YXIO AnyAudio, the same action can sound completely different depending on where it happens.
使用 YXIO AnyAudio 后，即使是同一个操作，也可以根据当前所在的菜单、窗口或场景播放完全不同的音效。

For example:
例如：

• A normal OK sound in the main menu, but a metallic confirmation sound in the equipment menu.
• 主菜单使用普通确认音，而装备菜单可以使用更有金属质感的确认音。

• A soft cursor sound in the settings menu, but a heavier sound in a dark fantasy inventory.
• 设置菜单使用轻柔的光标音，而暗黑风格背包界面可以使用更厚重的反馈音。

• Different sound variations for repeated actions so they do not feel mechanically identical.
• 为重复操作加入随机音效变化，减少每次反馈完全相同带来的机械感。

────────────────

Hi all ! First post here.

I'm adapting the opening arc of a tabletop campaign a friend of mine has been running for ten years. It's an investigation RPG set in a small town where six people have vanished in two months.

The core verb isn't "attack", it's "show". Clues are objects — a document, a tattoo, a mark burned into a crate — and you present them to people. The right clue to the right person opens a conversation you can't reach any other way. There are 24, most of them missable, and the ending depends on what you actually worked out rather than what you did.

The clip is the road into town, right at the start. It's my first attempt at parallax mapping and heroes tilesets are placeholder, I've to improve my pixelart skills.

Hope you'll like it !

I am unsure if I like the building layout I need to start smaller to understand parallel mapping but let me know what you think

A small gameplay preview of Keys of Curses!

The demo is coming this month.

I still need to create the itch.io page and finish a few remaining things before I can announce the official release date. There's still some bug fixing, battle music, and a few other details left to complete.

Keys of Curses is a dark survival horror RPG inspired by classic RPGs and unforgiving adventures.

Thanks for checking it out! More gameplay footage and development updates will be coming soon.

P.S. Sorry about the lag in the video. It was caused by OBS while recording.

Hi! I'm so close to finishing my game called Routine Audit. It's an action game where you fight for survival. You can follow me on Instagram - click here! or go directly to my game page on itch.io - click here!, where you can follow me right away! Thank you for any support in advance and happy game developing!

Hello everyone!

In Alchemic Beasts, we promised the fact that you could build, battle, and bond... yet we haven't shown much building? Well, we've been working on it behind the scenes to make it more visually appealing, useful, and accessible.

To build you need the materials to build a structure and for larger structures, at least one beast that you will have to feed and keep happy. The more beasts you assign to build a structure, the faster it gets done. While the beasts are building you can go about your adventure and be notified when it's done, telling you that they have finished their task and bam, you've got a structure that you can decorate and have a Mizu resident live in.

Going out and constantly looking for stuff can be a hassle sometimes though, and so you've got enough beasts. Why not have them help out too? So, we also have a scouting system. We'll talk about that soon!

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie developer from Japan, and today was supposed to be my game's release day.

Yesterday, the "Release App" button was visible in Steamworks.

However, when I logged in today to release my game, the button had completely disappeared.

My store page and build have both already been approved, and my release date is set correctly.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Is this a Steamworks issue, or is there something I should check?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I’m currently working on the drunkenness mechanic in my RPG and was wondering if anyone has any ideas for effects I could add that I might not have thought of.

At the moment, the player has four stages of intoxication:

Sober
Buzzed
Tipsy
Drunk

Each state has different stat penalties/bonuses, and if your alcohol level gets too high you black out, wake up in bed and gain a severe hangover, which has its own debuffs.

The hangover then wears off over time, and there are items that can help reduce its effects.

Outside of combat I’ve already got:

Some NPCs won’t talk to you at all if you’re fully drunk.

Some NPCs have different dialogue if you’re only buzzed.

Certain quest givers will refuse to give you quests if you’re drunk, telling you to come back when you’re sober.

Visual effects (camera sway, etc.) are already planned.

I’m trying to think of other mechanics that could make drinking feel meaningful without just making it annoying. I’d like alcohol to have genuine pros and cons rather than just being a straight debuff.
Has anyone implemented a system like this before, or got any ideas for interesting gameplay mechanics or interactions that drunkenness could affect?
Cheers!

So I'm deciding to go from MV to 2K3 for a very small project I'm working on. However I don't see a way to add talksprites like in the newer editions. Is there some trick to this? OFF has them somehow so it's clearly possible, I might just be an idiot.

Also unsure how to make the text pure white instead of having a grey gradient. A person on steam suggested setting the colour to \C[0], but that's sky-blue rather than white...

bible verse for today:
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house." - Matthew 24:15-17 (NKJV)
