[DerVVulfman]

(July 27 to August 2, 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

After weeks of work, DerVVulfman finished what may be the first phae of his RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor. This week, he finished downloading all the threads containing text and links to the completed games in the board. And with that being the last board he had to scour, he finished the first phase while posting links to the topics within our forum.

Occasions

Just a few days ago, the 2026 Game Jam began, and MetalRenard wanted to come in to signal its start. He also wanted to remind everyone that the forum also has a discord channel. Do remember, the Game Jam is on the honor mode in that you are only to spend four days on your entry, and the Game Jam ends Sunday, August 9th.

General Chat

The shock at seeing movies long lines at movie theaters was on the mind of Ace_V, especially when he and his father were stuck having to purchase tickets for "The Odyssey" days in advance. He's never seen it this bad, let alone any long lines since the Star Wars prequels were released.

Games Development

Development Discussion

If you thought about asking anyone What's Up, Remi-chan decided to take a look at RPG Paper Maker, and surprised herself at its capabilities as a competitor to the RPGMaker line. A small test project allowed her to import her own 2D classic sprite graphics within a pseudo-3D world and allowed her to rotate the camera as she desired. Meanwhile, she fell in love with the recent spritework from her character artist while still waiting for her portrait artist to return.

Complete Projects

As massive as the forum may be, DerVVulfman began working on downloading all of the COMPLETED GAMES FROM RM WEBS and finished by the very end of the week. Not only did it have completed projects, but a board for those games that went commercial.

Code Support

Rose Guardian ran into a severe problem with her current game trying to setup a transformation skill with Visustella plugins and it giving her an error. She not only posted the code of her character transformation code and a shot of the error she's receiving, but she also uploaded a demo from her project for anyone to examine for hopeful insight.

Tutorials

When the week began, DerVVulfman continued his task to archive the RM WEBS TUTORIALS and finished uploading the webpages in zip files within a couple of days.

Material Development

Scripts Database

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

For anyone who wants near unlimited space to create their worlds but are upset at the limitations defined in the RPGMaker XP editor itself, DerVVulfman has a solution. With his Map Resizer script, a game developer is able to redefine the size of a map without the use of the map properties window, and exceed the 500x500 tile dimensions. Originally, it came with a simple destructive feature, taking a map and replacing it with one barren but set to the desired size. He returned with an update that is able to save the original contents in the newly reformed map. His script is functional for RPGMaker VX and VXAce as well

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

For anyone who wants near unlimited space to create their worlds but are upset at the limitations defined in the RPGMaker VX and VXAce editor itself, DerVVulfman has a solution. With his Map Resizer script, a game developer is able to redefine the size of a map without the use of the map properties window, and exceed the 500x500 tile dimensions. Originally, it came with a simple destructive feature, taking a map and replacing it with one barren but set to the desired size. He returned with an update that is able to save the original contents in the newly reformed map. His script also works with RPGMaker XP, which he stated was his initial project.

Resources Database

2D Resources

"Dag nabbit! Somethin's gottin into my eyes!" No matter what you think, even caravaners in the desert have to watch out for sand getting everywhere, and the wise woman sprite that recently appeared within the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V knows it. Though appearing last week, Ace_V decided to return and give her some protective eyewear for when she is out checking the surrounding dunes.

Creativity Section

Art and Design

A figure sure of himself, practicing his balance at nighl within woods illuminated under the moonlight. A smile on his face with a ball of hurt in his hand, he is a simian hero who believes more in family than fame. The latest creation added to the museum's art gallery for Remi-chan's Neato Arty thingie is the Master of Kaleidoscopic Keys. And one may wonder if he bestowes kaleidoscopes to those by smacking them upside the head with that massive spiked weapon he brandishes. Another humanoid that took less than seven hours for Remi-Chan, the speed-draw that accompanies lasts but ten minutes.

Literature

Past the carved marble lions and Ionic pillars, one can see the grand Greco-Roman stonework and Mannerist archways of the forum Library. Within the hallowed halls with beautiful dark walnut panels and tiles of subdued green and amber glass, the halls for Remi-chan's Writing Snippets was gifted a new chapter. One may wonder if her inspiration hailed from the 16th century Chinese literature as the Hero of Teratown is a simian hero with a weapons-in-hand. But for Valin, such titles have no worth and the value in those he cared for meant more to him than any riches the he could inherit from a relationship-based whim.

Well, that's it for this week.
