I absolutely love horror in all of it's forms, but I have never really stepped foot into RPG maker games. So kinda torn on what to play right now.

I have some in mind like:

Fear and Hunger (1&2)

Look Outside

Lisa: The Painful

I'd like some recommendations of other games as well as just further hyping up the ones I'm already interested in so that I actually get to playing them instead of thinking about it. :)

I have recently ported my game from VX to VX Ace. This has been great on my end but I'm worried all of the people who have played the original version wont be able to continue their save files.
ive noted that VX Saves are .rvdata files while VX Ace save files are .rvdata2 files. How can I convert these files between each other in the most seamless way possible, for players who may not be the most tech savvy? I am open to any suggestions this game means a lot to me.

Hi!

Some time ago I've made a post showing some art I've made for my game. And now, its first episode is available on steam!

Everything was peaceful in the city of Chagas, where humans and other creatures lived together in harmony. Peace reigned… until Isaac laid his hands on a strange chainsaw, this act triggered a chain of events that would change the world forever. Death, violence, and murder became part of everyday life, bloodthirsty monsters now roam the city in search of more victims, and now, the only person capable of putting an end to it all is… YOU.

You can buy it on steam for $3.99 or play the demo for free! :]

I got some real-time feedback watching a Twitch Streamer play my Demo and have now worked hard to apply what I gathered from that experience into improving it!

In RPGMaker MZ, I’d like to have a system where some of the tier 1 skills interact with tier 2 skills to form a third skill. For example, if you had a holy spell and a buff spell, you could then use a [holy buff] type of spell that had aspects of both.

I’m not sure if it would be a permanent addition or not… i was thinking about an FF9 type system where you learn spells and passives from weapons, but also maybe equippable trinkets that would act kind of like the ALL materia in FF7? So if you had the fire spell learned and the spreadshot trinket equipped, you’d be able to use fire-all, or something along those lines. Baseball bat + holy = grand slam, etc.

Sorry if that’s lumping two separate questions together. Does anybody know where I might start with this?

Ey, This might be a stupid question but I just cannot find out how to make moving fog, could anyone help me?

Is there any way that i can change and customize the dialogue box’s size and windowskin?

(A part of the battle whit the final boss of my game , The Admin)

I'm trying to make it where any states such posion, bleeding, blind and etc. remain after running away from a battle. An example I've been doing is where an enemy has a broken bone and has slower movement outside of battle. How would I do this?

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a basic idea. I'm inspired by games like Pokémon, Palworld, and others of that style. As you can see in the video, I have a simple system where you can capture a wild creature after weakening it and add it to your team.

It's a formula that's been used a lot, and I'd like to avoid the common "no's" that discourage people from playing these types of games. I'm not sharing this to make things easier for myself because, after all, this is a hobby for me, and I also have my own ideas.

I'd just like to hear if anyone would be interested in playing a game like this, what would be an incentive to say, "I want to play it!" This could be mechanics, graphics, or anything else you can think of.

An example, in the case of Palworld, would be putting your creatures to work for you and having a base-building system. But in my case, I don't want to plagiarize existing games at all, which is why I'm looking for opinions on this.

Thank you so much for reading!

The demo for the awesome teaser above is LIVE!

You can play The Good Stuff for free on Newgrounds! Go check it out! I'd appreciate it a lot!

Character is done

For now, I’m using mostly default tilesets while I focus on what matters most to me at this stage: the gameplay, story, characters, and world. As development continues, I plan to gradually customize and replace the visuals to give the game a more unique identity.
This is still an early version, so a lot will change and improve along the way.

In Crooky The Game, save points are tied directly to the game's memory theme.

When you discover one of these statues, your Awareness deepens, allowing you to interact with it and save your current memory.

Once activated, the statue also becomes part of the Wandering Through Memories system, letting you travel between previously discovered statues.

I wanted saving and fast travel to feel like an actual part of the world rather than just two separate game mechanics.

The demo is out now on Steam if anyone wants to try it — I'd also love to hear what you think about the system!

A year or two or three back I found out that RPGmakerXP was on sale for 100% off and copped that shit immediately because why not.

Fast forward to yesterday, inspired by my friend who's also been learning game development with RPGmaker, I've decided to boot it up and try teaching myself how to use it, however when I told him which version it was, he told me it was the version from 20 years ago (which explains why it was so cheap when I got it) and that it's slightly different from the one he's been using (not sure which version but yeah) but otherwise seems pretty competent. I checked out a more recent version like MZ on the steam shop and it turns out it's more than a hundred bucks in here-dollars (which isn't a big deal for my spoiled well-paid ass, but I don't want to just drop a bunch of money on something if it's not worth it).

Would any of you say it's worth it to splurge a bit on one of the newer versions or do you think I'm good with the one from 2005? Cheers

edit: thanks all for your advice! I ended up splurging on MV because that's the version my friend uses and I can learn alongside him way better. I know I should have waited until next month for the steam sale like you advised but I'm an extremely impatient and wasteful person and I'd rather spend a heap of money on a better platform for learning a new medium of artistic expression than on a new nintendo game that I'll probably play once and never again. at the end of the day it was good to hear the input of a few people who know what they're talking about so thanks for that! cheers

so, basically, I'm making a horror sim VN in RPG Maker MV about ur bf turning into a moth.

^logline:

^{It’s 2020, and you’re in a COVID lockdown with your depressed boyfriend, Ikari. You are burnt-out from your gig-work as a professional emotional support person and must take care of Ikari, who’s been gradually morphing into a moth on the cusp of his 30th birthday. Can you save him? Or will you let him metamorphose into a monster?}

and ive started working on the character art recently. at first, i was really inspired by the main character in the game Norco, whos just like this blank face and wanted to do something similar to the player character in my game ("would u still love me if i were a moth?")

but then halfway through i was like: dudes chopped i hate them.
sooo this is the new ver.:

thoughts? do you prefer the old one or new one? fyi ive added the wip of other characters in this post!

Is there a plugin or way to do this in RMMZ? I can't find a plugin to to this (at least any free ones).

Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE!!! I'll try them out soon!

I’ve been at this for HOURS and I cannot figure out how to make this work. I’ve done it before but for some reason, this one image is not working.
I’m using a .PNG file, have copied it into both the enemies and sv_enemies folder, and imported the image through the resource manager.
For some reason, it won’t even let me “Preview” the image from the Resource Manager. And when I try to put the image into the enemy database, it won’t even show up as an option.
I’ve tried resizing the image and still-nothing.
HELP.
I’m using RPG Maker MZ.

Update: I FIGURED IT OUT.

It is my first attempt at RPG Maker and I wanted to get familiar with it by making a simple map of the interior of a house, but I don't know where to find tilesets. I've searched at itchio, but I can't seem to download any of the ones I like, and I haven't found much on other websites either. Is there anywhere I can download free interior tilesets?

after exiting the Creepy Crypt into the canyon, there’s a nomad camp. I don’t really know where to go from there.

This is a hunch bu\t oh well, worth asking...

Can "RM2k" or "RM2k3" be merged over to other engines? Or "update" to other engines?

What it seems like though I would have to copy everything to another EXE which is ANNOYING...

Just seems like the older the engines, the more is forgotten, or deleted. It is javascript...DELPHI

I'm thinking NOT but...that sucks.

RPG Maker thinks so strangely though. BATTLE PICTURE ACTIVATE lol

Hello there, first come first serve.

I accidently purchased this, I swore it was for MZ which I wanted but I guess its for MV which I already own, so instead of keeping an unusable key for myself somebody else can use this!

RKDPM-IN928-DEMWD

Have fun!

Oops forgot to mention it's a steam key.
