(June 15 to June 21, 2026)

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

Official Area

Announcements and Updates

Last week, DerVVulfman announced the ongoing RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor as the former dedicated site promoting the enterbrain RPGMaker series of game engines was closing in favor of another by GatchaGatchaGames. Since then, DerVVulfman repeately returned to announce the upload of zip files containing webpages belonging to the RPGMaker MV board, to the RPGMaker VX board and then with the RPGMaker XP boards.

Occasions

After being told about our community by Remi-chan, Zeigfried McBacon showed up. He's been using RPGMaker for two decades, and active in the communities since 2007. His skills lean more towards using the event system, the heart of any game developing engine, a fan of bacon, and a fan of Elder Scrolls Skyrim.

EmperorTEK has been using RPGMaker XP for a year, and came by after seeing the size of our scripts database. And Save-Point is the first forum that EmperorTek's ever joined.

Sneezycat is not new to the RPGMaker line of engines, beginning with RPGMaker XP and venturing into RPGMaker VXAce in 2013. Now returned after a long hiatur, Sneezycat is working on a Music Player script for RPGMaker VXAce.

Games Development

Complete Projects

As a little gift to Starmage, Berry B commissioned a couple of pieces of fan art for Rave Heart+. The first work was created by Wolffreak who did some brush art to create Sora. And after that, kagunami612 presented Flora in Bunny-styled hoodie with a contemporary anime/manga style.

Upcoming Projects

To her surprise, Starmage received new fan art for BlueSkies 3. Yet one more commission by Berry B, the art is a render of both Ziegfriedn and Arthur by Asteri`²⁶.

Material Development

Tools

A new version of HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable has been released, fixing directory bugs and added a feature to retrieve the values of the Rect class and return them as an array. But on top of that, he updated the innate audio module to add two more Background Music and two more Background Ambient Sound channels. While work was accomplished to play OGV movie/video files, it currently functions only for the Linux port.

Scripts Database

HiddenChest (RGSS1-3) Engine

Every game engine seems to have at least one JukeBox script, so kyonides crafted HiddenPlayList XP for HiddenChest.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

This week, kyonides showed up with a hammer to shatter the fourth wall, as his new script was gifted the name KStolenBGM XP for those who wish to make the appearance that the player stole the background music from the map. One need not be reliant solely upon map events with the Play BGM command to decide if music is returned, kyonides stores the IDs of the maps that can no longer perform their defined melodies.

With the closure of RPGMaker Webs, DerVVulfman made a thread dedicated to The RPGMaker XP topics from RMWEBS. The thread has a single link to a 480MB zip file which contains the first post to every XP topic from RPGMakerWeb's Plugins page with the exception of a smattering of pages where the content was deleted or unsalvageable. However, it should be noted that most of the content was posted by kyonides and has already existed within our board.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

After some time in development, kyonides took his time porting his RPGMaker XP script to RPGMaker VXAce and released ChooseFoes ACE. Much like the original, any time a battle is set to begin, a menu appears where the player may choose from a number of foes that are part of the mao's wandering monster's table. This port's current version allows for the menu to appear when a defined piece of armor is equipped or if warranted by the party's level.

As part of a request from a member of RPGMaker Web, kyonides put together Enter Monster Message ACE. Simplistic in nature, it allows for a custom message to appear before battle begins indicating the enemies being faced and their general attitude. The script includes a section to create custom messages as well as another to link enemies to their preferred statements.

With the closure of RPGMaker Webs, DerVVulfman made a thread dedicated to The RPGMaker VX topics from RMWEBS. The thread has a single link to a 260MB zip file which contains the first post to every VX topic from RPGMakerWeb's Plugins page with the exception of a smattering of pages where the content was deleted or unsalvageable. However, it should be noted that the bulk of the content is by kyonides and has like posts already within our board.

Plugins and Mods

RPGMaker MV/MZ Engines

Last week, DerVVulfman created a new thread dedicated to the RPGMaker Plugins from RPGMaker Webs after downloading webpages from the now closed site. But when creaeted, he only had the web pages for RPGMaker MZ plugins. This week, he visited the topic three more times, uploading all of the RPGMaker MV plugins he was able to save. However, he admits some posts were not copied as the threads had their content self-deleted.

Resources Database

2D Resources

Are you making a game where denizens live in the Sahara, or are they walking the sands of Tunisia? For those who have need of sprites garbed in desert fasion, the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V now has one more. Same as the others, the latest sand dweller now has darkened goggles to protect his eyes against both sandstorms and the scorching rays of the sun.

Creativity Section

Art and Design

The halls of the forum's museum were wide open, and a speaker stood before the doors to the gallery proclaiming that free will is but an illusion and one's decisions matter naught. This set the stage for the portrait in hues of violet and orchid that was put on display within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! Her name is Yurigi, and with leathen wings and a spade-tipped tail, this smiling figure draped in raiments of indigo and lilac is not one to underestimate. Slated for Remi-chan's sequel to Fantasia, she is a prophetess who believes everything is part of a clockwork pattern. And this maiden, with her otherworldly appearance akin to the Twins, took ten hours to paint. Though it only takes 17 minutes to watch her creation on video.

Well, that's it for this week.
