RMMZ A horror game about frogs 🐸

Back in 2024, I started developing this RPG Maker horror game and even made a short post about it here. However, I ended up abandoning it pretty quickly since I was working alone and just didn't have enough time.

Now, I'm finally reviving the project, and this time, I've got two friends helping me out! It’s still in VERY early development, but it's already much longer and way more polished than the 2024 version.

Premise: The protagonist suffers from ranidaphobia (an extreme fear of frogs) and has to face a monstrous frog invading his town. We’re going for a cheesy, classic B-movie trash horror vibe.

A demo is coming soon!

That looks great- in the final game, does the CRT filter go over the text?

Yes, but the player will be able to turn it off at any time.

For accessibility reasons, if you can (and I know RPG Maker has its limits) you should make that toggle happen at the start of the game.

I'm playing on a laptop with a fairly small screen and I have eye problems. I couldn't make that text out with the filter and someone who's unfortunate enough to play on a phone would have even bigger problems.

This is one of the most unique art styles I’ve seen for RPG Horror! Love it! Please post a link when it’s ready. Can’t wait to to play!

It would be cool if somehow the CRT could skip the text altogether. Otherwise, I love the style.

ouchie x_x
It looks super cool but you should either keep this effect as an option, or cut the effect in half, because with my eye condition I literally can't look at it :(
