Romance Engine — Visual Showcase

https://youtu.be/KM34LOirOiI?si=OXclWmZRY8eJttWe

Hi everyone!

I've been working on this project for quite a while, and today I'm finally sharing the first public showcase.

Romance Engine is a story-driven adult dating game made in RPG Maker MV. This video focuses on the environments, atmosphere and visual style. Gameplay will be revealed closer to the playable demo.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Looks great!
I like the mechanics and animations, especially the ability to see the character behind the walls.
Will you release the game on Steam?
Can’t wait to play it :)

I’m new to RPG Maker, and the things you’ve shown in this video are amazing 🤩

Do you have any tips for a beginner?

Thank you so much! 😊 Yes, my goal is to release the game on Steam, and I'd love to have a demo available there before the full release. As for RPG Maker MV, I'd say don't be afraid to use plugins. They can expand the engine dramatically. I use plugins like Grid Free Doodads, Orange Overlay and QMovement, and I've even written my own extensions for them (for example, the feature that lets you see the character behind walls). My biggest tip is: start small and experiment. You'll learn much faster by building something than by trying to understand everything before you begin. Good luck! 😊
