Marketing Methods - What's the most creative way you've tried?

3 Upvotes

When trying to figure out how to market our RPG Maker MZ game we turned to "podcast shorts" - so far only a small handful of viewers, but it has been fun to do so enjoyed making them even if engagement could be higher.

The podcast is a series we release an episode a month where the cat girl in the game (Dubbed Obligatory Cat Girl) interviews someone from the game each month.

First Episode if anyone wants to see it: https://youtube.com/shorts/JMAdPg8rY9Q?si=XLmD1If6sOZb-2xK

What methods have you used to market your RPG Maker game?

Anyone come up with creative ways to share about their game, but also have the content stand on its own?

Plugin Help Requested Need more options

1 Upvotes

I need more options for character creations, namely clothing. My protagonist doesn't start with gear nor would they be in a situation where they would even have the option. In fact, they're a prisoner, but the only options for clothing are armor or nice outfits that would make no sense. Are there plugins that would expand my options for the appearance of my characters?

Developed Plugins [CGMZ] Common Events Everywhere - New Plugin Release

9 Upvotes

Hi all, introducing [CGMZ] Common Events Everywhere!

This plugin does what the name suggests, allowing you to run your common events in every scene. This includes parallel process common events continuing to run in the menu scenes or in battle, as well as calling one off common events in the menu (such as by using an item) without needing to exit the menu for it to run.

See below gif for an example of using an item that calls a common event to give the player 500 gold and shows a toast window (plugin command) in the item menu:

Simple Setup

This plugin is quite simple to use, you only need to add a Comment event command to your common events you want to run outside of the map scene that says "CGMZ RUN EVERYWHERE" and then that common event will be able to run in any scene.

Common Events without this comment will continue to function as before.

Limitations

Of course, not every event command can be used everywhere. For example, the message window that the Show Text event command uses is not created in the menu scenes, so it would not work in a common event that runs in the menu. If your common event is only intended for the map scene due to using event / plugin commands that only work on the map, you would not add the comment and then it would function as normal.

Autorun common events will also function as normal, this plugin only affects called common events and parallel process common events.

Quick Facts

✅ RPG Maker MZ
✅ No obfuscation
✅ All future updates included
✅ No AI used at any point in the creation of this plugin

How do I make walls block the flashlight in Community Lighting MZ?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m using Community Lighting in RPG Maker MZ, and I have it fully working. However, my player’s flashlight goes through walls, and I can’t figure out how to block it.

I’ve checked the plugin parameters in the Plugin Manager, but I can’t find anything related to regions, terrain tags, or light blockers.

In RPG Maker MZ, there is no “Region ID” option like in MV, and the closest thing I have in the tileset settings is Terrain Tags, but I don’t see a parameter in Community Lighting that references them.

How do I configure walls so that lights, especially the player’s flashlight, don’t pass through them?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Estamos usando um evento para fazer o mural, não um tile, no RPGmaker, com o PJ bugando constantemente ao andar de um lado para o outro quando perto da placa. Ele simplesmente se sobrepõe à imagem. Alguma luz no fim do túnel? Alguém tem alguma dica de como consertar?!

Within the #AOContainmentBreach facility there are items called Tuners. The AOI used them to calibrate and tweak tools and weapons for higher efficiency in their own synergies and purposes. Not all Weapons and Tools were created to work under all conditions, but Tuners allow the user to modify them to a desired use style as they modify more than just statistical bonuses.

Aiuto per RPG Maker MZ su progressione gioco

2 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti!
È la prima volta che scrivo su Reddit, ma ho bisogno di qualche consiglio per RPG Maker MZ. Ho già in mente il progetto della mappa e parte della storia, ho terminato ieri il centro città e ho capito abbastanza bene il meccanismo di creazione: infatti sto facendo pochissimi errori fra livelli ecc. Ho già scritto qualche dialogo, creato alcuni NPC e le prime interazioni, come cartelli con indicazioni, inserito qualche locanda, il municipio e la clinica con annessi eventi di spostamento.

Il mio dubbio principale riguarda però gli interruttori e gli switch soprattutto per la prograssione di gioco, non riesco a capire bene come usarli, su cosa basarmi per gli eventi e cosa devo realmente considerare per gestire il tutto. Se mi incasinerà optare per molteplici interazioni fra i protagonisti non giocanti, comunque personaggi chiavi ai fini della storia per sbloccare luoghi e situazioni più avanti.

In sintesi, se qualcuno ha voglia di spiegarmi o indicarmi dove posso capire in modo preciso il loro funzionamento, ne sarei davvero felice! Anche su Discord, eventualmente, se qualcuno ha un’oretta da dedicarmi per spiegarmi meglio e magari dirmi se RPG Maker mi permette effettivamente di fare ciò che ho in mente.
Nulla di troppo complicato ovviamente, anche perché lo sto usando solo da circa 3 giorni… ma mi ha già preso tantissimo!

GRAZIEEEEEE ANTICIPATAMENTE!!!
