Welcome dear readers to the latest issue of the Weekly Gazette! Here in the Gazette, we give you the news in brief of what occurred in the past week as well as provide any news happening in Save-Point itself
General Chat
The re-opening of the U.S. Government hit the News of the World with the Senate finally passing the bill, holding the nation hostage for over 40 days. But passing the bill has Democrats fuming and calling out Senator Schumer, while Republicans are fuming that Congress continued receiving paychecks. The Epstein also hit the news as Democrats block efforts to fast track their release. But what has come to light were the eMails of Trump-obsessed writer Michael Wolff tried to have Epstein blackmail then-candidate Trump. Likewise, emails have revealed that Epstein gave ex-Clinton Treasure Secretary Summers advise about women. And a New York Times reporter was busted for tipping Epstein off about an ex NYPD detective and his tell-all book. Its bleak news for Higher Education as California is challenged with College students without even an 8th grade reading level. On focusing upon ideologies than education, even a Harvard professor admits Trump correct over its bias. On free speech, chaos erupted at Berkley as Antifa storms a TPUSA event, one rioter charged with assault and robbery. And a California University openly denies a TPUSA chapter from opening after a third attempt. New York's new mayor elect may be rethinking things after Governor Hochul slams the breaks on Mamdani's Free Bussing promise and says he will reach out to Trump for possible assistance. Following his ouster, residents of Prince Andrew Road in England demand the name be changed. And the scandal of the BBC intentionally doctoring US President Trump's January 6 speech continues, having apologized but refusing to pay for damages. While the disgraced BBC boss who quit is proud of the work, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss backs Trump. But the UK is not the only one who performed such edits as Australia's own ABC network likewise edited Trump’s Jan. 6 speech in the same manner and for the same goal. Violence and hate speech hit the news in Germany as a man was arrested for painting swastikas on nearly fifty cars with his own blood. And the Saudi doctor who killed six after plowing his car into a crowd during Christmas now begins his trial. Within Latin America, Argentina's President extend a warm welcome to any from New York fleeing the upcoming Mamdani administration. But in Peru, President Boluarte had been ousted by their entire congress over crime and corruption. And thousands of 'Gen-Z'ers took to the streets of Mexico city to protest the rising crime and political corruption. Weather was big news in both Latin America and in the Asian pacific as tornadoes ripped through Brazil, killing 5 and injuring over 400. And typhoon Fung-wong killed 8 while displacing over 1.4 million in the Philippines, only to barrel towards Taiwan forcing thousands to evacuate. Meanwhile, trusting China seems bleak as their diplomat threatens to behead Japan's new Prime Minister, and plans to block rare earth minerals within mere days of the US/China rare-earth deal. Russia is raging against Ukraine, launching strikes at Ukraine's nuclear plants and pouring 150,000 troops into Donetsk, even terrorizing the streets of Pokrovsk as if rejects from a Mad Max sequel. But pressure is ramping up, China's largest purchaser of Russian Oil cutting ties. As drone fragments crash into NATO territories, Belgium opens investigations into the drone incursions. And Germany has unveiled a new military service plan to create Europe's strongest conventional army. Violence erupted in the Middle East as a Kashmir resident was arrested for detonating a car in Delhi, killing 8 and injuring 20. Following that, 9 more were killed after another detonation occurred at an Indian police station. The pain of Hamas lingers in Israel as a former Hamas hostage gave harrowing testimony how she was raped, while other survivors still suffer from the harrowing October 7th massacre. And Israeli security forces have been breaking up Hamas cells still active and readying attacks against civilians. A New Mexico man killing two people claiming a cockroach told him to do it, a fake airline captain with forged credentials flying hundreds of passengers, crazy footage showing China’s Hongqi bridge collapsing months after opening, former US President Obama destroying a national landmark to build a monument to himself, Trump asking for the pardon of Netanyahu in his corruption trial, rich 'Sniper' tourists paying $90K to have human-hunting safaris in the Sarajevo, and more hit this week's news.

This week, the News of the Cyber Worldseems bad news for big tech, with Google noting that Public Wi-Fi can allow bank details to be stolen by cyber criminals, Apple's dismal sales of the iPhone Air2 forcing it to get pulled off the market, Apple also losing $4billion as Warren Buffett’s Berkshire chose to put it all into Google stocks, and NVidia loses $5.8Billion as Softbank sells all its stocks to invest in OpenAI. Cars hit the cybernews as Tesla began $60-per-day rentals after a market slump, and Pennsylvania introduced a bill to legalize flying cars. Of data centers, Verizon is slated to cut over 15,000 jobs while Amazon-backed Anthropic felt $50 Billion is fine to spend on AI data centers. Coinbase leaving Delaware for Texas, lawyers fined over incorrect filings made with AI, a New Jersey judge declines to hear a case when a woman was targeted online with phases like "This @#$%^ needs to Die", and more hit this week's cybernews.

This week, the Chinese Hackers made a splash as new research showed that China hacked into and began using ClaudeAI out of San Francisco to attack government agencies and their banking services. And while the name of the China-based criminal hacking group is unknown, Google has filed lawsuits alleging the criminal organization had swindled victims out of millions of dollars by way of phishing scams.

With an upcoming 2026 release, Starmage wanted to let everyone know that the Steam Page for Rave Heart+ will have a redirect to Moz The Tiger's FAQ page offering more information about the game and its new revisions. Those that already paid for Rave Heart will be happy to hear that Steam should automatically upgrade their purchase to Rave Heart+ free of charge. However, old save games will not work due to numerous changes, the original edition of Rave Heart will no longer be available.

There are no fish tanks today, no televisions depicting the news, nor horrific stalkers from Wes Craven movies. This week, you may find more hospital staff among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V as one more nurse makes her appearance. Short of stature as all using the RTP style from RPGMaker XP, but with short black hair and twin pigtails, she can be found in traditional blue hospital scrubs. And she appears iwth and without the sterile hospital mask, and in a livid green zombie tint.
Music and Audio
It is said that artists can be their worst critics. And for that, they look upon old wirks as something to avoid or something to revisit and refine. And this week when DoubleX ventured into the archives of His Music Room, he chose to enhance his fifth composition with more strings, and rework instruments including the percussion once the bridge had been reached. Following that, DoubleX released his 49th composition entitled "Ultimately in Vain", whereby his uses violins, pianos and light xylophone taps to play with the idea that one may enjoy working on a project for someone. But once the melody reaches its bridge, electronic hums and rhythmic zaps begin to sound as the one for whom the project is for may not see the work come to fruition.
Art and Design
If one expects to see visions of refinement and love within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! as they had last week, they will be both astonished and jolted. No comforting grace will the Atomic Biowulf present as she feeds upon her victims. Set against a backdrop of ebony and emerald, the deadly wolfgirl appears with the hapless subject of her amusement and hunger as bright, forked currents of jade courses around her. As is her standard, another speed draw was also delivered, beginning with a favored song performed by Casey Edwards & Victor Borba.
Well, that's it for this week.

The Save-Point Funding was a success. And with 2026, donations should be at a point where more storage and devices will be available for future use. This while work is being done to migrate the forum to a more secure software package. But as StrangeAutomaton reminded us, he has a full time job so time to work on such a project is not infinite.
General Chat
More news about Nintendo's Palworld Lawsuit has appeared, and none of it was good for the company that created the likes of Zelda, Mario and of course, PokeMon. Japan's patent office rejected key claims made by Nintendo, citing a lack of originality while also noting that various other games already had the same said mechanics. This appears as a victory for Pocketpair who cited a number of past games such as ARK: Survival Evolved, Titan Fall 2 and even from the Zelda franchise. Nintendo has only two months to appeal this decision that directly harms their case.
For some, this weeks News of the World centers around the US government shutdown. Senator Schumer famously said he would end the shutdown when planes fell out of the sky, so now both Orlando International Airport and JFK have ended all landings. Meanwhile, the largest federal workers union is now applying pressure and demanding Democrats to abandon their demands. Even fellow John Fetterman blames his fellow Democrats, and relays they are "Moving against our core values". Crackdowns on violence in the US also made the news, be it the arrest of an anarchist who put a $45K hit on Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Trans-Teen pleads guilty to plotting mass murder at her Indiana High School, another suspect in the murder of a congressional intern last year has been arrested, and an ISIS inspired Halloween massacre plot in Michigan was busted. And for Black Lives Matter, its been a bad week as NY founder Hawk Newsome turned himself in over assault charges against Democratic District Leader William Allen. And its leadership is now being investigated by the Justice Department for defrauding tens of millions from the donors during the 2020 riots. Russia continues their onslaught, killing a reporter in one volley, a 7-year-old girl in another Meanwhile a Russian financier was blasted by the US Treasury Secretary as a "Russian propagandist", and snubbed by NATO Ambassador Matt Whitaker while new oil sanctions hit. Ukraine welcomed China's offer to help Trump end the war on their behalf, this while Ukraine blasted a key fuel pipeline Russian troops needed. And over three hundred more of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia had been located, Its been over a week since the Louvre jewel heist, and five more have been arrested in connection. However, the crown jewels have not been recovered. And in the UK, Prince Andrew is being stripped of his title and forced to leave the Royal Lodge following the Jeffrey Epstin scandal. And of Sarah Ferguson, she had divorced Andrew just years after their marriage and will be moving out to a separate house. In the Middle East, Hamas is scouring through the rubble to find the bodies of the remaining hostages before the Trump Administration's deadline expires. And Pakistan has vowed to decimate the Taliban as peace talks collapsed as terror cells use Afghanistan as their base and the Taliban kept trying to divert from that issue. Fortunately, there have been good tidings as Argentina’s Javier Milei defied polls for the midterm elections and made more legislative gains. And tariffs against China lowers as the framework of a trade deal beween it and the US was hashed out. A UK train attack survivor revealed knifeman’s chilling response after she begged for her life, the University of Washington scraps job posting after their DEI requirements were exposed, Biden appointed Jack Smith targeted the entire Repuiblican party with over 190 subpoenas, Brazil’s deadliest-ever police operation killing of 100 drug dealers with one decapitated, Anti-Israel protests at Syracuse University found to have been backed by Iran, multiple academic halls for students in the middle ages discovered at Oxford University, abandoned dogs in Chernobyl having their fur turned blue, and more hit this week's news.

Nvidia made it big in this week's News of the Cyber World, signing a $500 billion deal to build AI Supercomputers for the US Energy Department and becoming the first $5 Trillion company powered by AI. One would think that Amazon would take the good news in how AI aided them as their stocks rose 14% in value. However, they still intend to cut 30K corporate jobs worldwide. It was bad news for Mark Zuckerberg as Meta’ stock plunged 11% this past Thursday. And it was bad news for Google as another data leak exposed the passwords to over183 million gMail accounts. Bill Gates walking back his alarmist climate doom rhetoric, Silicon Valley targeted by Russian Sex Spies, and even Prison Loaf hit this week's cybernews.

Its time for those who need hospital staff to take notice, for another medical professional made his appearance among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. One more nurse has graduated, a male with thick brown hair. And in keeping with the options that Ace_V has established, this nurse appears as normal, with a surgical facemask, and in full zombie mode for those unorthodox medical disasters in fiction. What does the future hold, the promise of something new next time. But do not be surprised if more nurses make their appearance later.
Music and Audio
When one enters DoubleX's Music Room, melancholy melodies will sound. With brass and accompanyment by harpsicord and violin, "Derving Nobody" is his fourty-fifth work expressing how seeking that special someone may be in vain; the somber choir adding to the bleakness of a future alone. The dissonant combination of a pipe organ and harpsichord reflect how one attempts to make good, but repeatedly fails with "Unworthy Of Anything". Even as time passes, reflected by the beat of a bass drum, things never appear to work out.
Art and Design
Pain and trauma, the color of fire is rendered by one as cold as ice this week within the halls of Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!. A longstanding heroine in her games has been known as calculating, even jovial at times. And has faced insurmountable odds. But now, Tristy is within the clutches of pure terror incarnate, talon-like claws reaching out.
Literature
This week, another page has now appeared among Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~, another page from the game upon which she is working to create. And in this page, d demoness more powerful than any encountered berated the heroines for using their powers to save lives, and then issues a challenge they are unable to avoid.
The Bibliotheca
A long time has passed since kyonide sput pen to paper for his tale, Looking for a Save-Point: The Mission, a marginally self-inserted story with a select few from the community. But after half a year, he and his traveling companion finally enter the town of Odrosde in search of the third, the werewolf who has their coinpurse. But they have to bargain with another lycanthrope who is set on creating a culinary franchise with his help.
Well, that's it for this week.

This years funding is now complete! To fund 2026, click the donate button in the top left corner of the page or in my signature!
If I get enough money, I can look into more storage upgrades and what not. Currently I'm working on the migration ( it still has a few bugs and is not ready for live deployment ) to rid of us of the plethora of issues caused by our years of love to the MyBB platform. I wanted to have it done by now, but I'm working a full time job to pay bills, and my free time is not infinite. Plus, we have some weird edge cases caused by the modifications that have been done to the boards over the years - many of which I have fixed, but they have left their mark and now I just have to deal with them. I tried to clean them up the best I can without breaking stuff further, and I'm hopeful that once I get us migrated over to a more modern and stable platform that the rest will be mostly cleared up. Anyway, thanks for all the support, and I hope you continue to support this site going forward!

General Chat
Early this week, the shimmy shimmy shake was What's on the Mind of kyonides as a 6.0 Magnitude earthquake hit the coast of his home.
It was a shock no one expected when the News of the World reported the daring daytime robbery of the Louvre and the jewelry within. More than 100 investigators are working to capture the four suspects involved. But not the only daring robbery, but certainly the more questionable; seven suspects have been arrested in Spain for the theft of over 1,100 outdoor restaurant chairs. Europe and the US are working together to force Russia to end hostilities against Ukraine, sponsoring a 12-point plan. While Russia violates more NATO airspace, now enraging Lithuania's government, even more sanctions have been levied by both the US and Europe, the 19th by Europe since the invasion into Ukraine began. And recently discovered, Russia is using a shipwreck designated a protected underwater graveyard, violating this prohibition. Russia clearly refuses to end the war, rejecting yet another proposal while lt launches massive drone attacks crippling utilities while also targeting Ukrainian daycare and kindergartens. In the US, the government shutdown continues. But US President Trump warned that if Democrats had their way with their demands that Social Security and Medicare would be drained by their intent to allow illegal immigrant access. Of Medicare, Dr. Oz gave a strong warning to seniors not to blindly auto-renew policies without checking for any changes. Meanwhile, more suspected drug-trafficking boas have been sunk in the Eastern Pacific. And more surveillance video of the January 6 Pipebomb suspect has been released. And after many months, MS13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia dubbed by Democrats as the Maryland Man, may soon be deported to Liberia in mere days. And while Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei continues to vehemently deny the obliteration of Iran's nuclear industry, US Vice President Vance flew to Israel for high-level talks to stabilize the first phase of the ceasefire and keep peace in the Gaza region. The body of a Spanish mayor’s ex-husband found by sanitation workers, a retaliatory lawsuit against Melania Trump after demanding retractions, Germany's willingness to pay stationed US military employees during its shutdown, Russia's economy stagnating, and more hit this week's news.

This week, the News of the Cyber World was immediatly hit with Amazon's cloud service having a major crunch, not just affecting Amazon itself but services such as Snapchat and gaming platforms like Fortnite and Roblox. And of Roblox, a new lawsuit has been filed against the company for actively permitting sex predators to pursue young players. Online protections for minors appears to be on the minds of most as Instragram plans to implement even stronger protections. But be warned that ChatGPT has been markedly worse for children, now planing to add sex chat options while its been revealed they blatantly relaxed the AI's safeguards which permitted it to "coach" recent murder plots and teen suicides. Wikipedia in great pains complains that ChatGPT steals content and their traffick, Of other news, the deal to transfer TikTok into US control has been finalized. But none too soon as recent data shows that China used TikTok to influence and promote New York's mayoral candidate Mamdani.Micron processor chip developer saying good bye and good riddance to China, flying and driverless taxies, and more hit the cybernews this week.
Development Discussion
Everyone working upon a game or project is free to share all their endeavors just by saying What's up? But as of now, Remi-chan is the one vocal as she recrafted the origin story of one of her universe's protagonists, and supplied a video cutscene of her turmoil. Along with that, she shared the work of her sprite artist, our own Rune, who designed new elves, batwinged girls in burgundy, and a collection of other NPCs.
You may recognize the portaits of those speaking within the Maps and screenshots thread, but it is for the character sprites in which Remi-chan posted her recent reveals. Elves, goblins and even electrically charged catgirls appear with thieir own new map character graphics.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine
The KToad system by kyonides has now been advanced. Enter the new script entitled KAnimal XP, a scripts whose feature allows targets to be turned into other animals by way of spells. Do you dare face a ghost that could turn you into a harmless kitten, or a lillipad-denizen that could place toad on you?
An early release by DerVVulfman, the TaEL: Troops and Enemies Loot system appears to create item bags for enemy troops, mimicking the items bag of the party. And with that, one can increase the amount of treasure that the party earns when victorious in battle.

The Halloween season is nearing the end. And if you are in need for a heroine in danger, the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V is your destination. This week, a young redheaded girl with a short skirt and tight top now appears. However, character spritework of this young maiden also appear with blood splatter across her face and limbs, and with her on her kees as her arms are shackled with heavy chains.
Music and Audio
Thoughtful introspection is raised within DoubleX's Music Room when you choose to attend his auditorium. And his 43rd composition evokes just that, with a light and somber melody at start. Entitled "Take Myself Lightly", the accomanyment of the delicate flutework switches between strings, light percussion and vocal harmonics reflecting the changing of occupations. It is the one piece he composed that does not have a typical bridge to contrast between musical verses. His later work, "World of Harm" begins with a light melody, but is taken by the low plodding tuba to reflect the heavy burdens on the rapidly moving society. However, the deep and plodding weight of the tuba ends at the bridge, and brasswork continues throughout.
Art and Design
Another pretty kitsune was added to The art deck by Demos "Rise Evil" Kerrigan, she a youthful 3-tailed maiden in snow and powder blue, youthful by the standards of her immortal race as she is a mere billion years old. But don't say she is prim and proper, as a lunch shared between she and Hanaco from last week revealed her less-than-ladylike table manners.
Is Solitaire a CRAZY WILD OUTLAW WOLF? She doesn't appear so, but her dedication and perfectionist nature may qualify. The latest art she is working upon for a cutscene animation clearly shows her well defined style, though she reported that reworks will need be forthcoming. And a strong sense of consistency, Solitaire revealed three colorful scenes from other projects.
Within the forum's gallery, you can see more portraits among the halls of Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!. And as seasons change, it appear so does the wardrobe of the evil Imperian of Shadow. But low and behold. Remi-chan has three new sketches for future works; a dependable hero with past enemies as her new weapons, a bespeckled, wolf-eared vixen, and the dependable hero now realizing the terror that awaits her.
Literature
Within the library of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~, you will typically find pages of content of her current project. And with fresh ink, she penned a vignette where a small band of revolutionaries are surrounded by a battalion controlled by an evil general. Who will come to their aid may be a surprise.
Well, that's it for this week.

Announcements and Updates
DerVVulfman thought about archiving yet another site, but as he was preparing for the endeavor, he discovered that KameSoft (formerly KGC) exists. A longtime source for RPGMaker scripts at nearly the dawn of RPGMaker XP, DerVVulfman discovered its update URL and newly rebranded name. On top of that, the site revised its terms of use which now allow for commercial use and possible reposting. That being the case, DerVVulfman crafted a dedicated thread entitled KAMESOFT - Formerly KGC Software in the Scripts Database for the list of all KameSoft event systems for RPGMaker 2000/3 and scipts/plugins for RPGMaker XP through to MV.
Occasions
Not a week passed after the completion of the HBGames Archive had an alumni of the board has appeared. Bart has now made an appearance and came looking for some content, new and passed. DerVVulfman saw him appear, greeted him and inquired as to his interests. And Remi-chan gave her welcome speech and noted our forum's discord.
General Chat
The last of the surviving hostages from Hamas hit this week's News of the World as even ABC's The View heralded the accomplishment as a massive achievement. Though slosly and incomplete, a few of the dead hostages were even recovered, But fragile, Hamas pulled in thousands of its members into central Gaza and began public executions. With that, refusing to lay down its arms, and firing upon Israeli targets, Hamas may have ended yet another ceasefire.With Ukraine's war against Russian aggression, there may be hope as Hungary has joined the coalition in Euripe to choke off Russian Oil. And there is plenty of talk about Ukraine acquiring U.S. Tomohawk missiles despite warnings by Russia's fomer President. Couple that with Ukraine's devastating drone attack shutting down another Russian refinery, Moscow tries to shrug off claims that even India had stopped buying their oil and funding their war effort. However, Sweden began stockpiling grain in the event of hostilities. More suits have appeared in the U.S., former NSA John Bolton indicted on 18 counts for illegally storing and transmitting classified documents, the grand jury hearing that he sent such top-secret level material to individuals and used non-sanctioned means for transmission. Biden Admin prosecutor Jack Smith is now under investigation for misconduct and disbarment over his tapping of nine Republican lawmakers. And there's been a delay in the depositions of Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the investigation of Jeffrey Epsetin. Meanwhile, more news about New York City mayoral candidate Mamdani surfaces, showing he has raised money for Hamas, refused to answer about connections to a terror linked Brooklyn imam, and and his wife mourned the death of a Palestinian indluencer who celebrated the October 7th massacre. In connection, it was also revealed that the City University of New York illugally used taxpayer money to push Mamdani's campaign. Violence in Europe continues as an Afghan man deemed mentally unfit appeared in a court over a deadly knife attack on toddlers in Germany. Italy's Anti-Mafia team was called into the massive explosion of their top investigative journalists, the journalist having received other threats in the past. And in England, Nigel Farage blasted leftist racist rhetoric for the violent assault on Reform’s George Finch just minutes away from his Town Hall. The impeached president of Madagascar fleeing the country, the return of a 2,400-year-old artifact to Greece, the possible impeachment of France's President Emmanual Macron, the UK’s Tax Raid on targets deemed wealthy, Saudi Arabia negotiating with the US for a sweeping defense pact, the arrest of four involved in a Mississippi shooting spree, an Indian student arrested in Moscow forced into Russian Forces against Ukraine, polar bears taking over abandoned Soviet-era research station, and more hit this week's news.

Artificial Intelligence once more hit the News of the Cyber World as it was revealed that a North Carolina school therapist used ChatGPT to research how to poison her husband's energy drink. With as much harm that has been reported by AI use, California Goveror Newsome signed the first ever AI Chatbot law with the intent to protect minors and force chatbot operators to impose safety protocols. Elon Musk has revealed that he intends to create an AI based replacement for the Microsoft Windows platform. And Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVidia, sent a letter of relief to all staff that Avinatan Or, an Israeli employee of the company, had finally been released by Hamas.
Development Discussion
For those working on their games, feel free to relay What's up in your RM endeavors like Remi-chan. Currently, she's been updating the faces of various characters so they can have more expressions during their appearances, this time updating the Lich Highlord and the Violent Violet Fairy with the psychotic scowl. The facesets are her current work, soley because she is awaiting work from her spriters and character artists.
Pleased with the new expressions she had crafted, the Maps and screenshots thread now has a few new shots of Remi-chan's game. Though possible that the scenes may have been revealed before, they did not have the newly updated portraits of the Highlord Naxon Viddigus nor the fresh faces for Fyori Felicee. Alliteration went too far.

This week, Starmage was ecstatic that Cheddare made a cute sticker of Rave Heart's main heroine of EEllemine.

Hospitals in the realm of RPG games will be elated that you can find more nurses among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. This week, three more sprites were created, one with a surgicl mask and one livid, zombie green. But this time, you should relish this brunette's anime styled red ribbon-tied buns.
Music and Audio
Sometimes, you may wish a change of pace. And within the auditorium known as Double'sX Music Room, the 41st composition is precisely that. A resoundingly chirpy piece entitled "Feeling Unsure", it starts with vivace of Trumpet, harp and violin in whichlistener may see a bright future ahead, though the bridge did change the pace of the brass and less upbeat.A weighty tuba begins his 42nd work entitled "Finally Overwhelmed", it with a violin that would symbolize the passage of time. THough the delicat plucking of guitar strings appear before the bridge, the harmonics that appear at the bridge are themselves the embodiment of being broken.
Art and Design
While not actual art was added, the Slideshow program that was advertised within the topic for DerVV's Stream FrankenArts was updated, recognizing issues with folders and adding a new image list option.
The recent random stuff in Solitaire's CRAZY WILD OUTLAW WOLF! thread have some very detailed linework pieces, be it a heart clamped between massive jaws, a red rose or a pretty doll. As she continues such illustrations, will she return to spriting resources for her game?
An overtly cheery Kitsune has been added to Demos "Rise Evil" Kerrigan's art deck. Though more energetic and chipper than the first pair met by the sisters combined, one may find themselves deceived by the power of this seven-tailed powerhouse. It is no wonder that the Court Wizard relents to this spritely vision in flower adorned silk.
With the time that things of the night prowl, be ready for the villanous to appear within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!. So decide if you will, which life taker will it be, the Demon Hell Fears or the Unholy Butcher. Remi-chan revealed another illustration of her soulcatcher that first appeared in her gaming universe almost a decade ago, resplendent in indigo with her flowing locks and her lethal arcane scythe. But unarmed, the winged matron is a lethal harpy with claws that can shred flesh and talons that can crush skulls as her fuchsia clad form bloodily proved. Only one speeddraw video was provided, it to the first render she made this week.
Literature
The latest chapters within Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ delves further into later events on a world with a powerful panda-girl and the former maniacal pssychopath from a game made over a decade ago. But here, they decided to visit a fast food hamburger joint that somehow has franchises that appear throughout the cosmis. And while the party enjoys sits down to dine, they have a lengthy reminisce about events past.
Well, that's it for this week.

Dear friends,
A long time ago when the RPG Maker line began to flourish for PC use, a Japanese site known as KGC Software appeared. They had innovative scripts for RPGMaker XP game development, many of which were recreated at times. The site did have some unfortunate policies such as no duplication of their works in other sites and no commercial use permitted. These two factors made talk of their scripts marginally difficult when forum administrators took notice.
After some time, it appeared that KGC Software had vanished some time a decade ago, and with that their content. But that was not the case at all.
Rebranded and with new urls, the content is now under the KameSoft name.
The rules they put in place have severely relaxed, allowing for commercial use, allowing for posting of their content with a request of notification whence done, merely a request to give credit rather than a requirement, and even age restriction or limit on content maturity on games where used have been lifted.
In truth, the actual KGC scripts of old, and KameSoft RPGMaker MV plugins of new could be re-posted within Save-Point. But rather than that, a new thread within the main post of the Scripts Database has been created. HERE From this thread, you can navigate to the individual pages of KameSoft software for the scripts or plugins you desire, the thread in English for your convenience.
Do note that Kamesoft/KGC Software scripts are in Japanese. Understandably, it is recommended that you translate the instructions at the top of each script in use.
--Thank you

Welcome dear readers to the latest issue of the Weekly Gazette! Here in the Gazette, we give you the news in brief of what occurred in the past week as well as provide any news happening in Save-Point itself
Announcements and Updates
It was a long time in coming, but DerVVulfman finished work on The HBGames Archive Board. The scripts database appeared to have taken the longest to adjust. But after long last, every topic posted within now has the proper credentials and date stamps.
Occasions
Beware everyone, for Solitaire is back and on the loose. It has been a while since she was last seen, that because her PC decided to be an overgrown door stop. She caught the attention of our werewolf administrator after making a new account and shouting her return. And within moments, access to her account was restored.
General Chat
This week, the News of the World is a buzz with positive news that a cease fire between Hamas and Israel went into effect. True that Hamas demanded the release of a terroist known for deadly attacks during the Second Intifada. But all living hostages held will be released by Monday. However, there are those with anti-semetic perspectives. Greta Thunberg, known as a young climate rights advocate, cried about Palestinian suffering on social media, but used photos of an emaciated Israeli hostage. And the largest teacher's union in the United States sent 3 million members an email containing a map that completely erased Israel whilst also linking shocking material that defended Hamas’ depraved Oct. 7, 2023 that killed over 1000 and took the 200 hostages. The Russian attacks on Ukraine continues, with 4,200 Cubans found fighting on Russia's behalf. Russia has proven its lack of morals as it threatens to respond if any nuclear power performs tests while the Kremlin advances its own ballistic program. And with recent bombing runs near NATO space in Kaliningrad, NATO is now considering the use of live rounds on any Russian craft entering their airspace. But with all this, US First Lady Melania Trump helped reunify eight Ukranian children ruthlessly kidnapped by Russian forces. And it appears that China is having second thoughts, now restricting mid-tier precision machine tools and had scaled back purchases of Russian raw materials, including an 11-percent decline in oil. In the US, the current US Administration has found striking issues with those supporting illegal immigrants, drivers' licenses in New York with actual 'no name given' on the license, no more than a one-year prison sentence given to another for vehicular homicide, and attacks on ICE officers enforcing immigration laws have spiked ten fold within the past few months. For those in California, the Palisades wildfire arsonist has been caught. And according to court records, he listened to the French rap song "Un Zder, Un The", its video showing the artist committing arson himself. Democrats better double-check their donors and connections. Following a ban put in place during the Biden administration, a US diplomat was fired for having relations with a woman connected to the Chinese Communist Party. And Democrat Mikie Sherrill, running for the New Jersey Governorship, received $65,000 in donations from a CCP linked business man herself. And newly revealed, the Biden Administration's FBI not only targeted Republican senators for wiretaps, but over 90 conservative groups including the late Charlie Kirk. And as expectde, China is still misbehaving, now sending a flotilla of destroyers and other vessels around Japan itself. And a Philippine vessel tasked with protecting its fisherman was blasted by a Chinese vessel that rammed it and fired water cannons close to Thitu Island, Filipino waters that China claims as its own as it has much any other waters in or near the South China Sea. Fifty eight Pakistani soldiers killed by the Afghan military for terrirory and airspace violations, mutilated birds drained of blood possibly part of a cult ritual in New York, the delay of an Australian airflight after its engine burst into flames during takeoff, a 1,200-person caravan from Cuba making its way to Mexico City rather than the U.S, New York mayor candidate Mamdani roasted by the Washington post and the Police department, at least 38 tycoons in Russia dead under mysterious circumstances, and more hit this week's news.

Recent reports show that Chinese Hackers have been working tirelessly to break into cloud services used by law offices, potentially gaining intelligence in the ongoing trade war. And those connected to the Chinese Government have been identified hacking into the US law firm Williams & Connolly, a firm that handles some of America’s most powerful politicians. Along with that, it was revealed that China has plans for Taiwan, already known to have outsourced thier intelligence gathering apparatus to other complicit nations.
Once more, AI hit the News of the Cyber World, this time announcing that recent models no longer have the political biases of the past. However, safeguards and preventative measures have shown lacking. NBC news ran tests and found they could trip up ChatGPT into giving instructions for bio weapons and more, and Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmid announced a dire warning that guard rails and safeguards could be removed with AI learning to directly commit murder. Money hit the cyberworld as well, a Ukrainian crypto trader found in his Lamborghini with his gun and likely suicide bullet to the head, Elon Musk's $128Million severance settlemant with fired Twitter executives, and a financially motivated hacker group called Storm-2657 have been targeting many insitutions to hijacking salary payments of those mainly in higher education. Of course lawsuits are rapant, New York now pursuing Facebook, Google and TikTok over claims of addictive material harming children's mental health, business leaders urging US President Trump to renew his vigor in antitrust caes against Google and Ticketmaster, and China pushing antitrust investigations into cellphone chip maker Qualcomm. But if you think that's all, then you don't know the Cyberworld.
Development Discussion
Anyone can share What's up in their RM endeavors. And Remi-chan isn't shy of doung such as she has plans to redesign boss fights and upgrade the facial reactions of key figures Along with that, she has new sprite artwork from Xiie (or Rune) and new material from her portrait artist, Pjcr.
Within the Maps and screenshots thread, we see more renders from Remi-chan's current game, Fantasia. One day she presents us with a couple of interesting cat girls while the second had more and an odd elf wearing a mask apparently made of wood.
Complete Projects
One may say that more fan art was made this week for Rave Heart by Starmage. But that wouldn't be wholly correct as the illustration of two on a romantic date was by Starmage herself.
Scripts Database
RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine
A suggestion by Ace_V made perfect sense to kyonides. As such, one more update was made to Super Skill Nerf XP. Not only are the heroes subject to powerful limitations upon certain acts of magic or skill, but enemies too may be subject to features such as skill cooldowns.
RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines
While glossed over, kyonides noticed that there was an issue with how viewports are disabled. As such, he offered a very simple and understanable Scene_File FIX for users of RPGMaker VXAce.
For those using the RPGMaker VXAce port to Kursor by kyonides, you may have noticed a small chance that the cursor's index may not properly set when entering the map scene. The latest iteration for VXAce users fixes this issue. To those using RPGMaker VX itself, you have naught to worry.
Resources Database
2D Resources
If anyone has need of a nurse, then check in at the Triage center for Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. As nurses are the current theme, Ace_V decided to make some male counterparts. But with the spooky season upon us, he had to also gift us one that went through zombification.
Art and Design
Get ready for some RRANDOM STUFF IN THECRAZY WILD OUTLAW WOLF! thread by Solitaire. This time, we see a screenshot from a game inspired by characters created Solitaire's best friend. True that it is green monochrome akin to the old 1970s monitors, but in a very highly detailed and defined manner.
There were no full-coloured portaits nor speed-draws within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing this week. Instead, many pencilwork concepts such as those for an upcoming promotional video short, designs of characters currently in use and of their future incarnations, and even comic book pages mirroring upcoming events in Remi's current project.
Early this week, a new image appeared among DerVV's Stream FrankenArts. While not from a stream itself, it is yet another bit of frankenspriting that the resident wereolf did with Siletrea as again the subject. However, it is the appearance of the winged noodle in a Masamune Shiro cover. But DerVVulfman didn't think that was enough and released a small windows slideshow application which he updated some days later.
It has been a while since she's been around. But on her return, Solitaire decided to thank everyone who's appreciated her work by posting Mr. Wolf and Le Bunnies!. Fun and cute, enjoy the wabby floppy ears and hijinks when striped popcorn buckets are around.
Literature
For those who like listening to audiobooks, get ready for a treat. This week, you no only have the option to read another optional quest in Remi-chan's current project, but to listen to Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ with some background music and a few sound effects to boot. This time, it unveils a new pandagirl character and a threat to a planet from one of Remi's earlier works, TerraL New Moon.
Well, that's it for this week.

Dear friends.
As those that have visited our site in the past week may be aware, a long-running indie game forum in the RPGMaker community had closed. HBGames, formerly RMXP.Org, has been in existence for nearly twenty years. And with that, twenty years worth of content that would vanish if efforts were not taken.
Ergo, the HBGames Archive has been created.
With a near manic pace, the entire RPG Maker Scripts board had been searched. And what software that could be saved was recreated. It was an incredible breakneck speed that over 800 posts were saved within one week of discovery that HBGames had vanished.
Having been a member so long ago, some of the actual demos that were lost over the years, I happened to have on my drive. So there are some cases where Save-Point is now the exclusive site to such works.
The work is not nearly done. Plugins, Art, and Games must be looked into soon. And the posts have neither attribution to the original authors other than a note at the top, and the notice stating they are present for archival purposes not placed.
But honestly, the Plugins section isn't even 1/10th the size of the Scripts section, and our own DoubleX must have crafted a good many of those.
Thank you.

Dear community members,
It has been brought to our attention that HBGames had closed down, its last day was at the end of April this year. It still has a running Discord, and those with HBGames's url of https://www.arpgmaker.com will find themselves redirected to its invite page.
Formerly opened as RMXP.Org by Eric 'Erk' Butler and Sasha 'ccoa' Harlow, it was a follow-up site and safe harbour to RMXP.net which was then run by Lord Gradient's. Though .Net first formed in May 2004 and made RMXP a popular keyword, it was RMXP.Org that was constructed in 2006 and opened officially during the summer as a sister site for all members to migrate.
It went through hard times, and management changed over a few times. And after a rebranding to HBGames.Org, it was Wyatt/Ellie/Amy who took the reigns of forum software management and renovation.
By January 2010, the repair work Amy performed included fixes to the quick reply section, direct links, the image uploader and the recovery of Tana's video tutorials. After that, the community thrived, and it lasted over a decade longer.
But after nearly two decades, we must now bid farewell.
(May 2006 - April 2025)

Just a reminder to let people know that Save-Point's existence is aided by community funding! If you would like to help support the community and keep our servers running, you can click on the donate button at the upper right of the page! And if you want be a super fabulous supporter, you can set up a monthly donation! Thanks so much for all your support. Support dollars go towards hosting fees. If we get more than what's required for hosting, the support dollars will go towards improving the server and support systems - such as better backup solution than we are currently using ( just a folder on my desktop ).
Things that I'm working on right now:
- Migrating to a better supported forum software
- Containerization to hopefully eliminate bugs caused by dependency issues with the underlying OS
Yeah, so it's only two things, if I get more funding, I'd like to spin up an additional backup system to keep another copy of the forum somewhere other than just on my computer. I'd also like to increase our storage capacity so we can archive more scripts, plugins, graphics, music, and games for the community! Anyway, to those who've supported, thank you so very much for keeping the dream alive, and I hope you continue to support the forums! To everyone else, thank you so much for being part of the community!
