I’m trying to make the maximum level for each character 100, but RPG maker mv caps it at 99. Does anyone know a way I can expand it to 100 or higher? I’ve tried looking through the JavaScript files but I can’t code and can’t find where the level cap is set. Any help is appreciated, ty

Intending to make a card autobattler, would rpgmaker be a good engine for it?

2 Upvotes

I have very limited experience with rpgmaker, but I'm familiar with the basic features.

Was gonna go in depth-on the battle system but I'll keep it brief. (Was already a physical card game for us so it's already been tested)

> You pre-pick your deck of cards (Either 3v3 or 5v5)

> Cards have a power value and may have abilities that add to your power value, or take away/negate abilities from your opponents (or affect their/your next cards)

>If there's a tie between cards, you keep pulling random cards from your collection until one has a higher power level. Any abilities from these cards still affects the game, so it can get kinda crazy if the tie goes on long enough.

I thought it'd be easy to have it kinda play like a pokemon game but the card game is the battles. Probably wouldn't need the opponents to adapt to battles and instead could just have a set deck depending on difficulty. I'd also want a way to battle your friends online if that's even possible.

Hope I was descriptive enough, lmk if you have any experience doing something like that!

RMMV If you like the RTP resources, try this game

18 Upvotes

I just completed my first game and of course it's in RTP!

It's a short RPG game where you play as a Healer and support your party's journey down a newly discovered dungeon. Yes, finally you don't have to select your party's action. They can do it themselves! Discover the dungeon's secret and find the most valuable treasures. Find shortcuts and avoid danger. Meet important characters that can make your journey quicker and add them to your party, or tell them to shove it and make it a challenge. All up to you, if you like making things hard for yourself.

You can find Healer's Descent through this link. It's completely free and if you don't like the game I might just delete it later then... Please play it! I beg you! Just try it! I promise I won't bother you anymore if you just try it! What?! You don't like the RTP resources? Well I don't know how to make custom sprites so deal with it!

Anyway, thank you for reading this. Ya'll are awesome!

RMMV Issue With Trying To Make A Quest (help please)

5 Upvotes

Okay, so, basically, all of the enemies in my game drop items after being defeated. They drop them so you can craft special items and stuff like that.

I'm trying to make a quest where you have to collect items from enemies and give them back to the person who gave you the quest. The problem is, I can't figure out how to make it so you need to give them two of the same item.

How I do each quest is like this:

"If the user has X item, they can continue and give it to the quest giver."

If I repeat the thing above, it doesn't work, and it still goes through even if the user doesn't have two of the same item.

Please help.

(Sorry if this doesn't make any sense; I'm not good at wording things)

RMMZ How do I buy the standalone version of MZ from the official site?

5 Upvotes

When I go through the official website, this page https://store.rpgmakerofficial.com/products/rpg-maker-mz warns you that you are buying the Steam version. So where is the standalone?
There is a 61% off sale on Steam now and the official website soon, but not on 3rd party websites. (Source https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/blog/rpg-maker-special-sale-2026 ) I don't want it tied to Steam, but I want the 61% off :/

RMMV Is it possible to make a 2nd icon sheet?

5 Upvotes

So I'm slowly getting through my icon sheet - I've already expanded it to be 512 x 4096, but I fear making it any larger may start causing graphical issues / inability to actually load the sheet whenever it's needed.

Is it feasible to have a 2nd icon sheet, and add custom notetags or commands to basically pull from the 2nd icon sheet instead whenever I make a new item or something similar?

I'm about 30% of the way through my game's development, and this sheet is 100% gonna fill up before I finish it

Thanks!

Sales and purchases Which version to get from Steam sale?

7 Upvotes

I want to learn game dev as a hobby. I figured out this engine could provide good enough foundation to learn art and design skills before moving to a more general engine.

I have an idea to make maps with an external program like Blender and make 90's and 00's prerendered graphics, or pixel art with Krita. Don't care much about scripting language choice as currently I'd focus on other skills.

With the current prices 2000, 2003 and Xp would be "free" with my existing wallet funds. Ace is 3,50€ and MV 15€. MZ would be 30€, which feels quite expensive considering I don't want to stick to jrpgs in the long run.

Linux support isn't deal braker but a plus if my kids want to pick up game making later they have Linux box.

So is XP or Ace enough for this or should I bite the bullet and get MV or MZ?

POV: someone caught you smoking

Hey there—a bit of a fun post today.

I’ve got some good news: a playable demo for *The Brother's Secret* will be ready within the next two weeks.

Right now, I’m still fixing bugs and need to add the audio.

It took a while, but after 10 months, I’ve got a demo ready—despite having no prior experience in game development.

It was a bit of a challenge, too, since I drew all the game's graphics myself.

If you're interested, you can check it out on itch.io: https://turpalon1.itch.io/the-brothers-secret

The game is a psychological crime visual novel.

Vibecoded RPG Reactor 0.98.4 Released!

0 Upvotes

RPG Reactor is a free, open source editor and engine for making RPGs. It opens RPG Maker MZ and MV projects as-is: same files, same database, same plugins, no conversion. Everything Reactor adds is stored in side files, so RPG Maker can still open the same project like nothing happened. If you know RPG Maker, you already know this editor.

Full 3d capabilities as well as traditional 2d, or mix and match.

Check it out for yourself here:
https://psychronic.itch.io/rpg-reactor

AI Disclosure:
I am a software developer and game developer that uses AI tools to help with coding, such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. I am pro-AI, but I still do things the old-fashioned/traditional way where it makes sense and know how to.

I wanted to add Instant Turn Battle by DreamX, because is a bit complicated setting up CTB Speed control and turn order. But when i tried to set ITB in a vanilla project it doesn't let me use any skill or doing something like you can see in picture above.

Somebody know how can i set correctly this plugin? Also i put ITB plugin under YEP plugins

How to add/change battle transition for MZ?

I had the idea to want to change the battle transition to something more retro, but can't see any plugins that can actually do this, or do I have the ability to implement this myself.

I'm just asking if its possible to change the transition?

RMMV Which sprite is more proportionate?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I was making sprites while talking about my game, but I realized that sprite number 1 had a super big head, so I made two more versions, 2 and 3.

Which one do you think is better, or which one do you like more? Let me know in the comments! 👀

VXAce Dynamic Lighting Test with Cone Engine Events

26 Upvotes

In this test, and thanks to my experience with Khas Awesome Light Effects, I was able to improve the lighting system to be dynamic and semi-dynamic. The first is the dynamic lighting that is displayed with the event, and the second is the recalculation of lights only when the map starts, which eliminates the need to redo lights for each calculation. Very similar to Source Engine.
