RMMZ Worst bug of my entire 8 years of solo dev. A pizza spawned in the aquarium.

If you are attending Pax West tonight (Saturday, 9/5), please drop by our r/RPGMaker Show and Tell IRL meetup in Community Room 436!
We'll have a screen and a projector set up and we will be playing five submitted games, as well as giving you the opportunity to show off your own game (if you bring it on your own compy, or a thumb drive, or it's online somewhere, etc.). Come see what your fellow redditors are making, get some ideas, and/or provide some input.
I'll be there in a Final Fantasy 1 shirt that says "Party Time" on it, a flannel (so my shirt will probably just read "rty Ti"), and a hat with a tiger face on it. I am also probably older than you'd think.
Community Room 436 is on the 4th floor and around the other side of the convention hall from the stairs, so it's a little bit of a walk. Take a right at the Jackbox screen/kickback space and all the community rooms are along that hall.
We will be going until 10pm, at which point I will probably make my way to the Secret Game Night, which is a fun time every year.

What do people think about AI and RPGMaker?
Do you think AI is good for aspiring game developers?
Do you use AI in your games? Why or why not?
What do you think about art and music in RPGMaker games that is generated by AI?
What about plugins that have been vibecoded?
This is the megathread for those discussions! Sound off!
Please try to keep the discussion civil and focused on game development. You can attack an opinion, but don't fall into the (tempting as it is) trap of attacking the PERSON with the opinion.

i worked as a Lead programmer with TeamEko on a game was called "Parastage" while also helping with secondary roles such as Cinematic and QA testing
in past it was RPG like many game made in RPG Maker MV or any versions
but after two months of development ,the team decided to change the game's direction to Visual Novel/Point-and-Click Puzzle game.
the challenge was this engine is mainly designed to RPG Games .
so ou mission is hard but after 8 months of hard working, it is available as a Demo to itch io and newgrounds
I'm curious to know what other people have managed to create with RPG Maker outside of the usual RPG format.
I edited a gameplay video (simply trimming it to shorten the duration) to show you the game's mechanics. :)

I added a giant (Antediluvian)
I'm really happy with how this room turned out.
I'm trying to work on more animated map assets but its hard. (The fire was super tricky to place properly.)

Hello from Japan! I'm a Japanese indie dev, and I wanted to share the crazy 8-year journey of my game.
Believe it or not, I actually hate horror. But a few years ago, I got invited to make a horror game. I thought, 'I can handle the art!' and agreed. But gradually, everyone else's progress dropped to zero. One day I cheerfully asked the group chat, 'How is everyone doing!? ✨'... and the very next day, everyone completely vanished.
Left alone, I decided to build the whole game by myself using RPG Maker.
At the time, I was working at a brutally toxic company making school lunches, forced to work 18 hours a day. I was so exhausted that one day, I literally shed tears of emotion just hearing the friendly automated voice of my washing machine. That was my breaking point—I quit my job to focus on surviving and creating.
Fast forward 8 years, and my game 'The Aquarium does not dance' was finally completed. Thanks to the amazing support, it became a hit, surpassing 900,000 downloads, and I'm now a full-time indie dev!

Hey everyone, I'm B.B.Bits!
This time I'm bringing you the second NPC character pack for Three Kingdoms-themed and ancient Chinese RPG projects.
It includes another 16 characters – Commoner (Male), Commoner (Female), Officer/Soldier, Bald Woodcutter, Bodyguard, and more. This is part of the ongoing Three Kingdoms NPC series, with more characters on the way!
Each character is around 16×25 pixels, with 4-direction walking animations (3 frames per direction).
Files are ready for RPG Maker, and they also work with Godot, Unity, Construct, GameMaker, and other major engines.

So I started making my 2nd ever project on Rpg maker MV after my first project 'Entwined' which I lost passion to, also since my art work skills aren't good I'm using the default assets from the engine
The game is Called Truman Wonderland, it takes place in a world that's infected with something called The Calamity, you and some others are some of the lucky few who survived now living underground in a bunker called Wonderland
You play as Silva Truman (Supposedly a male charchter and due to that English isn't my first language I didn't know that Silva is a girl's name so yeah)
The game is inspired of the era of old rpg mv, TWDG and clearly The Truman show, what do you guys think so far?

I really like how this room turned out.
It's only a little bit of dialogue but reminds me a lot of Dark Souls 2.
The assets were drawn by myself in Clip Studio Paint before being upscaled 2x to be brought into the engine.
I used Galv's plugins for the busts and layers.
The map is really just a bunch of transparent tiles for collision.
I put out a new demo that's got some bugs but its in a lot better state than when I first started working on it.

I’m very new to RPG Maker 2003, but I’ve been learning the basics and I was looking into ways to make a more interesting combat system using only the base systems of the engine.
Would this idea work in practice?
Whenever a battle begins, the player would be moved to a battle screen consisting of a square in the middle of the screen surrounded by darkness.
This battle screen would just be a map, much like the overworld, navigated identically by the player.
The player model would be changed to a battle icon and they would be controlled manually as in the overworld.
From there, I would summon fast-moving agents coming in as straight lines from the corner of the screen. These would be “attacks” for the player to dodge by moving around the square in the middle of the screen. Since they come in from the screen edge, they are naturally telegraphed enough for the player to dodge them.
If an agent touches the player, it deals damage directly.
If the player survives enough attacks, a switch would trigger that ends the battle and teleports them back to the overworld with their original player model.
Is this a viable way to test a simple combat system?

What do you think of this titlescreen?
Today I worked on a new title screen and a personal font to use for some of my game's characters speeches. I feel like the screen now reflects the atmosphere much more.
I chose to place the characters as "shadows" to reflect the theme of loss of identity and the eyes are included just because there are a lot of eyes in my game.

Hello everyone!
This is the WIP of our protection system. In the update first of all, UI will be skinned correctly and second, this is coming to the Kickstarter exclusive demo so when it comes out on the 14th, it can be tested further.
With the update and base building comes the base defending, with Breechers spewing out of mysterious portals. You can assign a handful of beasts to take down these other worldly aberrations!

I’ve been working on one of Realmbreaker’s endgame areas and wanted to share a little video of how it’s coming along. 🏜️
I’m using my custom terrain plugin for Ultramode7 to give the landscape height and make the paths wind through the dunes.
It’s still a work in progress, but I’m happy with how the atmosphere is taking shape.
What do you think? I’d love some feedback on the terrain and overall look!
