My first commercial game, a roguelite in RPG Maker inspired by The Binding of Isaac, is now complete! It's New Meat, a game about fast food, conspiracies, cosmic horrors, and chainsaws!

"Game.exe - Bad Image" error.
The title says it all basically. Whenever I try to export my game into a distribution folder, nw_elf.dll breaks and the game doesn't function. Whenever I tried to remove it, the game couldn't run because nw_elf.dll wasn't present in the folder. The game works fine in RPGMaker when I'm working on the game, I don't know what's causing this error. Please help!

Games won't open
I've been trying to run RPG maker mv and mz games, but they just won't open. It's not just the individual games either, since I've tried many different games, but none of them will open. They appear to run in task manager, but they won't appear on the taskbar or open any windows. My pc runs Windows 11, and I've been able to run games from other versions of RPG maker, but just games from MZ and MV won't open. I've scoured the internet, and sent in a support request to the actual RPG maker support, but no dice.

Automatic Messiah updated to 0.3.8 (demo available)
Demo link: https://woootbm.itch.io/automatic-messiah
Hey all! The latest update features a lot of polish, QoL, and work bringing it closer to the final version. Every weapon now comes with an alt-fire and the intro is faster to get players into gameplay right away. Definitely a great version for new users to check out, especially if you want to get feedback in during a time when the game is in a malleable state.
Try it today! Any and all feedback is welcome, even if it's just a rating on Itch. Thanks for checking my game out!
Please note*: this game features AI art in a few places (including the key art),* this is all placeholder and will be replaced during polish stages.
It is simply being used as a tool to help this early build feel more public-facing than it otherwise would be.
Description:
Content warning: features profanity, violence, and sometimes touches dark themes (fascism, sadism, slavery, etc.) due to post-apocalyptic setting.
You are an ambassador from a distant solar system. Your mission is to establish diplomatic relations with a primitive planet called "Earth." After your hundred-year journey you arrive to find that the world has been destroyed.
Now you must explore this wasteland and try to finish the job... one way or the other.
Features:
- Strategic turn-based combat with different player builds.
- Fight using either lethal, non-lethal, or diplomatic methods and change how the world perceives your character as well as unlocking different skills based on your path.
- The benefits of both party-based and single member RPG's as you are a single synthezoid but have turns for your built-in computer and onboard fabricator.
- A large, interconnected map with non-linear exploration (current available content not reflective of this).
- 3 difficulty settings to allow the player to choose their experience.
- An objective system that both guides the player on the main path and provides side quest distractions.
- Generous auto-save that prevents progress loss but also protects against save-scumming to encourage players to live by their choices

After roughly a year, I finally have a demo for my real-time combat game!
The follow up to Extortius: Become A Villain sees Extortius visiting his mother at her new home in the seemingly quiet town of Wyrdwood, when suddenly, he is caught up in a crazy situation with many crazy characters.
A departure from the first game, this time around, we see real-time 2D combat akin to the Tales Series, giving things a more lively brawler vibe.
Requires a gamepad controller to play. Enjoy!

How do I make a fishing mini game
I'm trying to put a very simple fishing mini game into my project. I want the player to have to time a button press to get the reward. The only thing I have not figured out how to do is creating the time frame where the player has to press the button.

What do you think are some of rpg maker games that really push the engine to it's limits?
Like, if you had to go and show people "oh, you think RPG maker games are all X, here is something completely different", what would those examples be?
(And obviously, I mean GOOD games, yes? Examples of pushing the engine to it's limits to create bad games are not really the point, lol)

Repost: Simple Gaming Mapping Service
Do You Hate Mapping or Just Want to Save Time? Let Me Help!
Make your project shine without the mapping hassle. Just provide your tileset (and ideally the project folder for easy integration), and I’ll handle the mapping. Here’s what I offer:
Tile Maps Using Your Tileset:
I’ll create your maps using the tilesets you provide, exactly as they are. I don’t modify or edit your tileset in any way—what you give me is what I use.
What I Don’t Do:
I create tile maps only and don’t handle eventing, except for adding decorative elements from character sprites if your tileset includes them. Parallax mapping is not included.
Easy Payment:
Secure transactions via Fiverr or PayPal.
General Prices:
Up to 20 x 20 tiles = 20$
Up to 35 x 35 tiles = 30$
Up to 75 x 75 tiles = 50$
These prices are losely based on the amount of tiles and can vary depending on commission volume and map complexity.
Save time and avoid the mapping slog. Let’s make your world come to life!

Fair pricing for a commercial game?
Would $9.99 on Steam be fair pricing for a commercial game? Or is let's say $4.99 price tag significantly more competitive?

I would really like to know, how to do this in vx ace.

Which is better? MV or MZ
I'm trying to make a game, but I am torned between the 2. Since I want to make it semi 3D(I think it's call 2.5D) there is also the option of rpgmaker unite.
I am more familiar with MV, while the multi layer mapping in MZ will make my designing easier.
My main concern is about the plugins for MV and MZ, and I don't really know how to use unity despite it's resources.
Can I get some opinions?

When game developers say RPG Maker games aren't impressive because RPG Maker is "easy to use"
I don't think it's fair that some game developers say games made with RPG Maker aren't impressive because RPG Maker is "easy to use."
"Easy to use" is subjective; I used to know someone who had a lot of experience in coding (in fact, his entire job revolved around it), but when I showed him RPG Maker, he didn't understand how to use it without me explaining it to him.
What one person finds straightforward can be entirely foreign to someone else, especially if it requires a different way of thinking. RPG Maker might simplify certain aspects of game creation, but creating a compelling, well-designed game still takes creativity, planning, and skill. Just because a tool provides a framework doesn’t mean using it well is easy.
