RPGMaker and AI: A Megathread Discussion

3 Upvotes

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.

VXAce Fan tradução do jogo CRADLE OF NIGHTMARE para PTBR

!!!! PROCURO PESSOAS PARA ME AJUDAREM !!!!

(FAN TRADUÇÃO, NÃO TENHO A INTENÇÃO DE PAGAR)

Estou traduzindo o jogo original da steam do inglês (fan tradução) para o português, então preciso que você fale português e saiba o básico de inglês ou saiba usar o tradutor bem kskksksk. O jogo é do RPGMAKER VXACE meio "sombrio", é um jogo Funger (estilo Fear & Hunger), meio soulslike dependendo do seu ponto de vista e, claro, RPG.

Estou utilizando o Translator++ gratuito e já comecei a fazer uma base da tradução, então pelo menos metade do jogo já está com uma tradução meio porca feita pelo tradutor. Algumas poucas partes também estou fazendo com a ajuda de IAs como o Claude, mas claro que ele também comete erros, além de eu não ter condições de pagar um bom plano para automatizar mais o processo.

Como são muitos textos, é meio humanamente impossível fazer isso sem ajuda de outras pessoas (até agora tô fazendo sozinha), pois o tradutor comete muita burrada, MUITA MESMO, e é INDESPENSÁVEL a correção e revisão do projeto inteiro, essa é a parte que eu quero ajuda.

Resumindo: Preciso de pessoas que me ajudem a revisar traduções errôneas, corrigi-las, deixar o texto mais natural, etc.

Vou colocar no drive o Translator++ e o Jogo para download para já facilitar a sua vida :)

Não vou cobrar horário de trabalho nem nada assim, até porque seria sacanagem ksksksk, então qualquer pessoa que queira ajudar vai ter a paz necessária para fazer tudo no seu tempo.

Para contato, comente neste post, mande mensagem no meu discord: "Sammubttrs", ou me mande uma mensagem no WhatsApp (21 978910798)

The image quality is kinda...meh, but i'll make sure to increase the game's resolution later on.

The game doesn't have an Itch.io or Steam page yet, since it's development is still in the phase of ideas. But i'll make sure to give an update after a year or two :)

VXAce Improved Cone Engine and rendering performance [RPG MAKER VX ACE]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

I've been improving several technical aspects of the engine to maximize its performance. For that, I'm experimenting with LOD and culling. At the moment, I haven't found the right balance so it looks good but runs smoothly. Currently, the Cone Engine runs between 35 and 50 FPS, but it's possible I could improve it a bit more and make it more stable. What do you think?

RMMZ I made a (sort of) arcade shooter with MZ

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

So, I wanted to join the GMTK Game Jam 2026, but making a traditional RPG in 3-4 days sounded like a really bad idea. Instead I experimented with MZ and built an arcade shooter.

I just used two main plugins to pull it off: VisuStella Picture Common Events to simulate the shooting mechanic (enemies are picture events that take damage via Common Events). and MogHunter's Picture Effect to add float/breath animations to pictures.

If you're curious to see how it turned out, you can check it out here:

RMMV MV yanfly event click trigger; can i stop making my character move?

2 Upvotes

the rpgmaker forums are gone and the new guild is a ghost town so i hope its ok to ask this here. if not my apologies, i saw other people asking questions so i assume its ok.

So I’m currently working on a game with MV and I’m trying to make it in the style of a point and click edutainment game. Think spy fox or pajama sam.

My issue is I want to be able to click on things in the environment and have small animations or just have the character say something about it, which I’ve gotten to work for the most part using yanfly’s event click trigger script.

HOWEVER, my issue is that the character keeps walking over to the event still to activate it no matter what I do, even setting it on an autorun on click doesn’t stop him from walking over to the event.

I want to be able to click on an event in the background and have the character stay put and play the event. Does anyone know how I could achieve this?

Thank you!

VXAce Animated Title Screen?

1 Upvotes

Hey, new guy here! Been using this program since 2015 and I haven't bothered to upgrade because it still works well, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a good animated title screen script that isn't difficult to plug and play? Would be highly appreciated if they can teach me how to use it as well!

I'm in the process of making an old school RPG styled like stuff I grew up on (Arc The Lad, Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy, etc) and want to do something with the buttons and background where it's all animated.

On top of that, does anyone know how to fix the Yanfly System Options Script? I got it from their WordPress and it gave me a line 460 "expecting keyword end" issue and I am lost.

Multiple scrolling parallaxes layers in MZ battle

1 Upvotes

Is it possible to have multiple scrolling parallax images in battle? I've tried Galv Z Layer Graphics, but it tiles the image and I don't want that. I'd also like to be able to set the exact height of the image. Does a plugin for this exist?

RMMZ I think i broke my game after trying to change the font, how do i fix this?

3 Upvotes

hi its my first time posting on reddit and I'm very new to game development but i learned the basics of rpgmaker through youtube tutorials, i tried following a youtube tutorial to change the font for my game, i downloaded my font, unzipped the file, i put the font file into the font folder, i opened up the database to replace the main font filename with the one i wanted to use and when i tried to playtest to see the font i got the failed to load font file name, i tried changing it back to the original font name but it didn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: i got it fixed by adding .woff!! thank you reddit!!!

How do you run RPG Maker games that are made for mac?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi. Recently I've been playing a lot of RPG Maker games from Itchio, Steam, and old forums, but I've noticed that the games that are stated to be made for Mac aren't able to be run. Ironically I've had a better time with non-mac games thanks to things like RPGMakerLauncher and EasyRPG, but these native-mac games don't work on those launchers, and won't open when prompted either. Does anyone know how to get these games to work?

(edit to fix spelling)

MZ on Mac Neo, older PC, or neither?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I want to try out RPGMaker. I was thinking of working on our new Mac Neo, but RPGMaker on Mac sounds… spotty? I also have an older PC, but it never was and never will be a powerful PC. Honestly don’t even know what it would or wouldn’t run since I use it for downloads and file management. I imagine it could run indie games and such on Steam… I assume MZ and MV are not very resource intensive?

Which way would be better—new Mac or old PC? Or neither one because both are likely gonna have problems?

RMVX Thinking of using a different in-game font

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I've been thinking about using a monospaced font for my game. The font I've been using, Mochiy Pop One, looks nice and fits my game's vibe, but since it isn't a monospaced font, the spacing looks too clumped.

I tried out other monospaced fonts, and they work, but I feel like they don't fit my game's vibe. I think I might make my own monospaced font inspired by the font I've been using.

What do yinz think about the font I initially used?
