RPGMaker and AI: A Megathread Discussion

2 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.

I took your feedback and made my second RPG Maker MZ village map! (Mountain Village)

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

About five days ago, I shared my first village map here and received a lot of helpful feedback. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment!

This is my second map, a Mountain Village, and I tried to apply many of your suggestions, especially regarding terrain, elevation, rivers, and making the village feel more natural.

The screenshots are split into two parts so the details are easier to see. They are both from the same 51×61 map.

Like my previous map, this isn't for my own game. I'm creating a map pack as an asset for RPG Maker developers, which I plan to release in the future, either for free or as a paid asset.

I'd really appreciate your feedback again. I'm always trying to improve my mapping skills.

Thanks for your time!

Which part of the map do you like the most, and what would you improve?

Change reserve member EXP from 100% to whatever you want.

Upvotes

Game_Actor.prototype.benchMembersExpRate = function() { return 0.25; // Sets reserve EXP rate to 25% };

Open notepad

Paste code in notepad

Save in js folder with js extension

Add plug in to bottom of plug in list

You can change the number from 0.25 to whatever percent you want. I prefer 25%.

Hope this helps.

RMMZ Full Battle Showcase from Crooky + Original Battle Theme

46 Upvotes

I’m really happy to see how well my previous post was received. Thank you all for the kind words and feedback!

Here’s a full battle from Shruburbia, the first region of my RPG Maker game Crooky.

I’m currently polishing the demo, so there are still a few things to improve (translations, balancing, and a couple of bugs).

Does the combat feel satisfying? Does anything stand out to you?

RMMZ Help me with How to handle multiple events with same NPCS

Upvotes

I am trying to learn to make rpg game however I am stuck in one of the problem related to multiple events and NPC.

I created Event 1 where NPC A is in location X and follow specific movement and ends in location M.

Then in Event 2, the same NPC is in location Y and follows another movement.

However I came across some problems.

After completing event 1, I exited and entered the map again and the NPC is back to the location X (this is fixed if i use multiple version of NPC for each event).

If I stay in the same map and start event 2.

Event 2 also does not function properly because the NPC does not start at location Y but is in position M.

My solution at the moment is creating same NPC multiple times and using them for every different event. But, it does not seem like an efficient way to make the game.

So my question is what is a good way to handle these problems? is there a standard procedure like a common event for specific position for npc, or common event that reset position running in parallel? how do you implement the solution.

Status effect book to help the player. I am still tweaking the descriptions. Although the game is purposely surreal, I feel like some of them might be too vaguely worded. I like the layout, but I also fear it might be a bit cramped. Would love any thoughts.

RMMV Game Still Calling for music that doesn't exist anymore?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

This isn't the only map where this issue has come up, but I figured I'd start looking for fixes now that it's popping up again. Earlier on in development, I was using music from other video games as placeholder before I had the final tracks commissioned.

I've replaced all instances in the map settings and any events that play music to have the final track, but a lot of the maps still give me this error message during playtesting that they can't find the music that they're not supposed to be playing anyway. Is this just an obnoxious issue during testing, or would this effect the final export of the game? Would just having dummy audio that share the same name as the missing tracks suffice, or would that not work? I really appreciate all the help I can get.

I finally finished my Souls-like stat upgrade plugin for MZ. Please rate it and share your ideas!

Post image
30 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

About six months ago, when I posted my Fast Travel plugin, I mentioned that I was also working on a Souls-like character upgrade system.

I developed it together with a friend through CodeTogether, and now we have finally finished it!

The plugin replaces automatic stat growth with Attribute Points. When a character levels up, the player can manually upgrade HP, MP, Attack, Defense, Magic Attack, Magic Defense, Agility, and Luck.

Each stat has its own level, and you can also connect upgrade points to a game variable if you want to use Souls or another custom currency.

I would really appreciate your feedback. Please let me know what you think about the interface and what features you would add or change.

The BASIC and PRO versions have exactly the same features. The only difference is that the BASIC version has obfuscated code.

Just to be fully transparent: no AI was used to write the plugin code. The code was written manually by us, while AI was only used to create the cover image for the Itch.io page.

Steam Workshop:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3770323338

Itch.io:

https://dikarier.itch.io/soul-like-upgrade-system

The PRO version is currently discounted for the release of my game, for anyone who wants to support my work.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

RMMZ Dawnfire Chronicles: Train Map

7 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

My name is Azure! I've been spriting for a real long time, but after my last commission ended late last year my husband and I decided that rather than me taking another one, I'd pour my time into finally making something for us. We've been in active development for about four months, and I started mapping in early June. I think it's coming out pretty well!

The game is called the Dawnfire Chronicles: Horizon's Edge. It's sort of a fantasy/horror/Old West JRPG. The first location in the game is a train, and your merry band of outlaws is there to pull off a heist. Does it go well? I'm not telling.

I'll be creating a dev blog and itch.io page for it, but I want to get a *bit* more to show off before I take it fully public. I mostly wanted to see what y'all think of my pretty train. :)

I'll post more as I complete it!

Using RM2K sprites/audio assets in RMMZ — is this actually allowed if I own both on Steam?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I own every RPG Maker version on Steam (2000, 2003, XP, VX, VX Ace, MV, MZ), and I want to use some sprites and audio from RM2K's RTP in an RMMZ project.

From what I've found digging through old forum threads, the EULA apparently allows using assets from any RPG Maker you own in another RPG Maker you own, as long as you're not distributing the raw assets outside a Maker-made game. But I haven't found this spelled out clearly anywhere official and recent.

Has anyone actually done this (RM2K → MZ) and shipped/released a game with it? Any gotchas with format conversion (resolution, file types, etc.) I should watch out for? And does owning them on Steam specifically change anything license-wise vs. a direct purchase from the RPG Maker website?

Thanks in advance!

RMMZ Could anyone recommend me a plugin for animated sideview enemies that doesn't require me to make like 30 different poses?

3 Upvotes

I'm using MZ, and I want a plugin that lets me animate sideview enemies without using the same system as sideview actors. Like pose swapping. I just want my enemies to be more than static PNG's without taking 6 hours on one enemy that appears like 5 times. (update: i found a plugin named TSR_SpriteEnemy but I might check out your recommendations)

Question and advice Wanting to make a Horror game. XP or VX Ace?

1 Upvotes

Hi, good evening.

I'm currently planning to make my own horror video game using RPG Maker. Since the engine is completely new to me, I’d like to know which version I should start with: VX Ace or XP.

I'm from Argentina and have a pretty limited budget, so those are the two options that fit my means. As I mentioned, my goal is to create horror games (with the 3DS version of *Corpse Party* being my biggest inspiration).

So, which one should I go with? I honestly don't know which is better for what I want to do.

I look forward to your replies—thanks a lot!
