Retirement Announcement and the future of this Patreon

Now that I have 200 plugins up and released, I think it's time I commit to my retirement announcement that I've made a while back. Quite frankly, with the most recent events, I'm sad that it's going to end this way, but I'd rather not dwell on that. I'll be leaving RPG Maker and its community after this. After all, I don't intend to linger around if I'm no longer contributing to it.

However, there's a few things I'd like to talk about before I leave.

I want to first bring up that ...

Winner for Free Plugin #30 decided: --------------------.js

Yesterday, I showed a list of which plugins I've decided would be able to be downloaded free. However, there was a 30th slot for something which I've not decided on, so I've decided to hand it over to those willing to comment to decide as this is a pretty important decision to make on behalf of what newcomers to the community will receive as their "welcome" package.

Many of you, instead, chose to take the opp...

Decisions on the accessibility of the YEP Library

Due to a number of incidents caused 24-48 hours, of which I'm not feeling inclined to explain in full detail other than it feels like a massive betrayal, I've taken some time to reevaluate the pieces in play and review the actions made before hand within the community.

This is what I came up with:

  • Plugins past the ones that came with the RPG Maker MV package will be paywalled. This can be anywhere between $1 and $5 USD. I haven't decided yet.
  • Patrons after a certain...

YEP.196 - Event Step Animation Options - RPG Maker MV

Video: https://youtu.be/Woh_8FJvZ_s

When setting events to have a stepping animation, RPG Maker MV would animate them with a "ping-pong" format where it will go from frame 0 to 1 to 2 to 1 back to 0. In some cases, devs would like to animate their sprites in a different format, perhaps 0-1-2-0-1-2 or in reverse: 2-1-0-2-1-0. This plugin will also give events the option to spin in place while stepping.

YEP.194 - Optimize Script Calls - RPG Maker MV

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujej_4gpj9Y

Script Calls, whether they're for setting variables, conditional branches, or actual script calls themselves, can run into performance issues when a lot of them are ran in succession. This plugin will optimize script call usage found inside common events and make them dedicated functions instead for better performance.

This is only done for Common ...

YEP.193 - Merge Common Events - RPG Maker MV

For those using complex eventing systems utilizing Labels and Common Events, you may have noticed that labels in one Common event won't jump to any labels located in the parent Common Event.

YEP.192 - Key Number Input - RPG Maker MV

Video: https://youtu.be/809m88EGx_c

The Input Number event in RPG Maker requires players to scroll through each digit in order to pick the number(s) they desire. This is a slow and tedious process that could be sped up by using the keyboard to directly insert the wanted numbers instead. If players use keyboard numbers to insert numbers, they will appear instantly in the Input Number window. Players can also opt for the...

YEP.191 - Map Enemy Levels - RPG Maker MV

For those using the Enemy Levels plugin, you may have noticed that it only allows you to adjust levels based off the party's levels. Wouldn't it be nice if you can set levels based on maps instead? This plugin allows you to do just that. You can set a base level for all the enemies encountered while on this map or a base level range.

Yanfly.moe has changed from WordPress to MediaWiki!

Hey, all!

Yanfly.moe is now changing away from WordPress to MediaWiki!

There's a number of reasons behind this change.

1. User Accessibility. It's hard to navigate through a WordPress blog to look for relevant information. Things are jumbled up all over the place and everything is only sorted by post dates. This makes it harder to look up what you need. This is especially true when there's over 180+...

This plugin lets you bind base prices, percentages, increases, exact values, and more! And the best part is, this can be done through variables so you can have extremely dynamic control over your game's market.

Test playing your game can be quite time consuming. Each second you spend on the title screen, each time you accidentally picked Continue instead of New Game, the time it takes to turn on the FPS counter, and more. While each of these take little time on their own, the amount of extra time wasted adds up fast. This plugin will give you access to various features that will aim to help...
