Theoretically, almost anything is possible with plugins, and many hobby developers have made valuable contributions to the RPG Maker community by writing and publishing plugins - most of them for free!

There is a way to fundamentally alter your project even without any changes to the base engine, though: Plugins are (more or less extensive) pieces of code that alter basic functions or provide new ones. In other words, KADOKAWA has decided for the Dragon Quest approach instead of regularly shaking things up like Final Fantasy does. Between VX and VX Ace, there were just a handful of functional changes, and even after several updates provided by the RPG Maker Web team, the publisher outside of Japan and, in a way, secondary developer, there’s still debate whether there’s a good reason to buy MZ if you already own MV. Some ‘upgrades’ barely felt like upgrades at all, which is a criticism often heard. However, the Japanese developers KADOKAWA have been rather conservative not only with new functions, but also with changes to the visuals. That is, in my opinion, a reasonable frequency. The RPG Maker engine sees a new instalment every 5 years, give or take. For RPG Maker MZ, I highly recommend the VisuStella library. Thus, you may want to increase the design space and the visual appeal of your games by using plugins.

I tend to bounce around a lot so never know what I’m doing from week to week at times.New RPG Maker functionality is added with each new instalment, but only very ‘carefully’.

The rest is what I was intending to match up or at least make similar enough for them to be passable if used together. I’m using the pen tool despite having a tablet. So the line style won’t necessarily match up to the RTP since much of that’s done by hand.

The portraits are meant to be similar to RTP style but done in a manner that I can easily replicate without too much extra editing. I’m certainly not at the same quality as , but I wanted to add to the portrait bases that exist so people can create a wider variety portraits. I’d say they match styles fairly well (ignoring the shadow shapes). The left is a more RTP style bust someone else did based off Ralph. I might do some children as well if I can find good references to use.īust I did is on the right. In total, I have 6 men and 20 women (7 being pregnant) that I want to make in the RTP style. All bets are off on whether or not I include faces. I have 26 images (so far) I want to convert to RTP style. I intend to do 3 versions at least (light, medium, and dark). The colors were taken off another RTP portrait so may be adjusted later. Base was a real man that I found on Google. Not the completed portrait quite yet since I still have a touch more work. This is just a preview of what I’m fiddling with. Figured out what I did wrong the first time and fixed it. Some were well done and I applaud them, but I think new busts are sorely needed. It wasn’t long before I could recognize how a person constructed a portrait. So I went looking for other people’s bases to work off those … until I realized that’s what so many others were doing. Or rather the style just didn’t match the RTP. Got into RPG Maker VX Ace over the last year and tried to do my own busts previously.
