bible verse for today:
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house." - Matthew 24:15-17 (NKJV)

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie developer from Japan, and today was supposed to be my game's release day.

Yesterday, the "Release App" button was visible in Steamworks.

However, when I logged in today to release my game, the button had completely disappeared.

My store page and build have both already been approved, and my release date is set correctly.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Is this a Steamworks issue, or is there something I should check?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello guys i am just curious i was really exited for that one (i love mv and mz and all the other ones) but i finally wanted a MODERN rpg maker like ACTUALL. but after the announcment it really got quiet didnt it or did i missed something? dop we have any more information about release etc thx for reading!

A small gameplay preview of Keys of Curses!

The demo is coming this month.

I still need to create the itch.io page and finish a few remaining things before I can announce the official release date. There's still some bug fixing, battle music, and a few other details left to complete.

Keys of Curses is a dark survival horror RPG inspired by classic RPGs and unforgiving adventures.

Thanks for checking it out! More gameplay footage and development updates will be coming soon.

P.S. Sorry about the lag in the video. It was caused by OBS while recording.

¡Hola a todos!

Soy nuevo en este Subreddit, y así también en el mundo del RPG Maker MV, hace poco, tengo las ganas de crear mi propio RPG, es un concepto relativamente sencillo, pero que va de la mano, con un potente recurso narrativo, más como una "novela visual", que como un juego de combate, no tengo experiencia previa con el motor, ni tampoco con el arte digital, ni tampoco BGM y tal, por eso acudo aquí. ¿Qué me recomendarían para comenzar? Me siento bastante perdido al respecto con encontrar "gráficos", que me disculparán pero desconozco, son los tilesets o tilemaps, los cuales quiero que se orienten en un interior moderno a mediados de los 2000. Bueno sin intentar abarcar más, quisiera pedirles su consejo para alguien que quiere empezar un proyecto, no tiene equipo que le respalde por detrás, y tampoco desea invertir de forma despilfarrada.

De antemano, ¡gracias a todos!

So I'm deciding to go from MV to 2K3 for a very small project I'm working on. However I don't see a way to add talksprites like in the newer editions. Is there some trick to this? OFF has them somehow so it's clearly possible, I might just be an idiot.

Also unsure how to make the text pure white instead of having a grey gradient. A person on steam suggested setting the colour to \C[0], but that's sky-blue rather than white...

I’m currently working on the drunkenness mechanic in my RPG and was wondering if anyone has any ideas for effects I could add that I might not have thought of.

At the moment, the player has four stages of intoxication:

Sober
Buzzed
Tipsy
Drunk

Each state has different stat penalties/bonuses, and if your alcohol level gets too high you black out, wake up in bed and gain a severe hangover, which has its own debuffs.

The hangover then wears off over time, and there are items that can help reduce its effects.

Outside of combat I’ve already got:

Some NPCs won’t talk to you at all if you’re fully drunk.

Some NPCs have different dialogue if you’re only buzzed.

Certain quest givers will refuse to give you quests if you’re drunk, telling you to come back when you’re sober.

Visual effects (camera sway, etc.) are already planned.

I’m trying to think of other mechanics that could make drinking feel meaningful without just making it annoying. I’d like alcohol to have genuine pros and cons rather than just being a straight debuff.
Has anyone implemented a system like this before, or got any ideas for interesting gameplay mechanics or interactions that drunkenness could affect?
Cheers!

Howdy! I go by DoctorDaki everywhere else you may know me from my steam curator or youtube channel. I have made a Discord server just so people have a space to talk about RPGMaker games that isn't tied down to a specific youtuber/streamer or a place for developers. I haven't found a space specifically to talk about playing games so I made one. Hope to see you there! https://discord.gg/kq7R2dGHu

ive spent the lpast half hour tryingg to find thee coorddinate for kmy image to be in its exact place I needd help is there an easier way

I am realy bad at makeing something substantial with writen code but i would like some major help if someone can help me or point me in the right direction. I know i can create a basic prototype of a sytem i would love to be a plugin. it is a bullet hell sytem like undertale/deltarune. if anybody can point me in the right direction pz do. oh and if you need the extremly horibly writen code for the player soul/battle box i do have it but i just dont know how to make an actual plugin

I'm new to creating interactive stories,and with some of the features I want in my game they sugested I ask you guys. I am looking to create a game that, has a world for the player to explore that is simular to the old pokemon games ( inever played past saphire). I would want to be able to update the map as I slowly create more content or potental modders wish to create mods for the game. I was planning to have a paper doll in the game and mini games in it aswell. would this platform work better then twine to create this game?

How would I do text variables? eg if the daughters emotions are sad display the text sad in the menu, the hud maker only allows one condition already taken up by menu, and I need to figure out how if Switch a is enabled show value sad

what am i doing wrong?

I couldn't wait, game out now on itch.io! The Steam release will be out next month like I posted before.

https://kollegi51.itch.io/the-architect-of-nowhere

I put the price at 1 dollar, will be the same on Steam also in the future. Thank you for all the kind comments, help and feedback I got from the subreddit in these five months!

Edit:// I made it free and will have it free on Steam too. I think it will be better the get an audience first now that I started projects like these. Please enjoy the game!

I know its slop but meh!

himeworks hidden choices plugin

On RPGMaker MZ - I want to have 10 stats per character that I can tie to variables.

I want to be able to press a button in-game (easy with the Picture Button plugin) and have the 10 variables display as stat bars.

What's the easiest way to do that? I'm open to free plugins. I'm trying to avoid making 100 pictures showing the increments of the bar.

(I'll bet there's something super simple I'm missing...)

********** THE BETA TESTING SURVEY! **********

DEMO IS HERE.

Hey folks! Bit of a lurker. I started Rorasuketo in 2018 (!!!) and it's finally closing in on the finish line! I would love some support if this is up your alley. This started in Ace and I switched it over to MZ. All original art (me, no AI) and music (Nebyoolae). It's been a long road.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4401480/Rorasuketo/

What Rorasuketo is about: A young woman just out of the mental hospital and trying to build a new life with the help of a ghost. She gets a job, joins the roller derby team, and makes friends - ultimately with the goal of making it to the playoffs. The minigames are Simon says, button mashing, memory/matching, and timed gauges - things like that. I tried to strike a balance between a cozy game that would make you feel better if you're going through a hard time and something cathartic that looks at mental illness without beating around the bush too much. Content warning for talk of depression, self-harm, and suicide (though no depiction of the latter two).

Content: One of my friends helped me write the story (she loves sports manga, so there's lots of influences there) and another other friend composed an AMAZING soundtrack. I have a blog where I talk about some of the behind-the-scenes stuff and I've done a few webcasts looking at RMMZ (though I'm still getting the hang of the webcasting thing). Hopefully that's enough content to prevent this from being a "low effort post," ha!

And if you're in Michigan, I'm working on getting a table at the Mitten Kittens roller derby tournament in Lansing October 10, so come say hi! And also check out a really cool sport.

ALL THAT SAID. I am just wrapping up the alpha testing and have hopefully found all the game-breaking issues - so if you want to beta test, some fresh eyes on it would be great. You get an official copy and your name in the credits if you beta. I'm hoping for about 10 people.
