This years funding is now complete! To fund 2026, click the donate button in the top left corner of the page or in my signature!

If I get enough money, I can look into more storage upgrades and what not. Currently I'm working on the migration ( it still has a few bugs and is not ready for live deployment ) to rid of us of the plethora of issues caused by our years of love to the MyBB platform. I wanted to have it done by now, but I'm working a full time job to pay bills, and my free time is not infinite. Plus, we have some weird edge cases caused by the modifications that have been done to the boards over the years - many of which I have fixed, but they have left their mark and now I just have to deal with them. I tried to clean them up the best I can without breaking stuff further, and I'm hopeful that once I get us migrated over to a more modern and stable platform that the rest will be mostly cleared up. Anyway, thanks for all the support, and I hope you continue to support this site going forward!

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

Early this week, the shimmy shimmy shake was What's on the Mind of kyonides as a 6.0 Magnitude earthquake hit the coast of his home.

It was a shock no one expected when the News of the World reported the daring daytime robbery of the Louvre and the jewelry within. More than 100 investigators are working to capture the four suspects involved. But not the only daring robbery, but certainly the more questionable; seven suspects have been arrested in Spain for the theft of over 1,100 outdoor restaurant chairs. Europe and the US are working together to force Russia to end hostilities against Ukraine, sponsoring a 12-point plan. While Russia violates more NATO airspace, now enraging Lithuania's government, even more sanctions have been levied by both the US and Europe, the 19th by Europe since the invasion into Ukraine began. And recently discovered, Russia is using a shipwreck designated a protected underwater graveyard, violating this prohibition. Russia clearly refuses to end the war, rejecting yet another proposal while lt launches massive drone attacks crippling utilities while also targeting Ukrainian daycare and kindergartens. In the US, the government shutdown continues. But US President Trump warned that if Democrats had their way with their demands that Social Security and Medicare would be drained by their intent to allow illegal immigrant access. Of Medicare, Dr. Oz gave a strong warning to seniors not to blindly auto-renew policies without checking for any changes. Meanwhile, more suspected drug-trafficking boas have been sunk in the Eastern Pacific. And more surveillance video of the January 6 Pipebomb suspect has been released. And after many months, MS13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia dubbed by Democrats as the Maryland Man, may soon be deported to Liberia in mere days. And while Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei continues to vehemently deny the obliteration of Iran's nuclear industry, US Vice President Vance flew to Israel for high-level talks to stabilize the first phase of the ceasefire and keep peace in the Gaza region. The body of a Spanish mayor’s ex-husband found by sanitation workers, a retaliatory lawsuit against Melania Trump after demanding retractions, Germany's willingness to pay stationed US military employees during its shutdown, Russia's economy stagnating, and more hit this week's news.

Tech Talk
This week, the News of the Cyber World was immediatly hit with Amazon's cloud service having a major crunch, not just affecting Amazon itself but services such as Snapchat and gaming platforms like Fortnite and Roblox. And of Roblox, a new lawsuit has been filed against the company for actively permitting sex predators to pursue young players. Online protections for minors appears to be on the minds of most as Instragram plans to implement even stronger protections. But be warned that ChatGPT has been markedly worse for children, now planing to add sex chat options while its been revealed they blatantly relaxed the AI's safeguards which permitted it to "coach" recent murder plots and teen suicides. Wikipedia in great pains complains that ChatGPT steals content and their traffick, Of other news, the deal to transfer TikTok into US control has been finalized. But none too soon as recent data shows that China used TikTok to influence and promote New York's mayoral candidate Mamdani.Micron processor chip developer saying good bye and good riddance to China, flying and driverless taxies, and more hit the cybernews this week.



Games Development
Development Discussion
Everyone working upon a game or project is free to share all their endeavors just by saying What's up? But as of now, Remi-chan is the one vocal as she recrafted the origin story of one of her universe's protagonists, and supplied a video cutscene of her turmoil. Along with that, she shared the work of her sprite artist, our own Rune, who designed new elves, batwinged girls in burgundy, and a collection of other NPCs.

You may recognize the portaits of those speaking within the Maps and screenshots thread, but it is for the character sprites in which Remi-chan posted her recent reveals. Elves, goblins and even electrically charged catgirls appear with thieir own new map character graphics.



Material Development
Scripts Database
RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine
The KToad system by kyonides has now been advanced. Enter the new script entitled KAnimal XP, a scripts whose feature allows targets to be turned into other animals by way of spells. Do you dare face a ghost that could turn you into a harmless kitten, or a lillipad-denizen that could place toad on you?

An early release by DerVVulfman, the TaEL: Troops and Enemies Loot system appears to create item bags for enemy troops, mimicking the items bag of the party. And with that, one can increase the amount of treasure that the party earns when victorious in battle.

The Halloween season is nearing the end. And if you are in need for a heroine in danger, the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V is your destination. This week, a young redheaded girl with a short skirt and tight top now appears. However, character spritework of this young maiden also appear with blood splatter across her face and limbs, and with her on her kees as her arms are shackled with heavy chains.



Creativity Section
Music and Audio
Thoughtful introspection is raised within DoubleX's Music Room when you choose to attend his auditorium. And his 43rd composition evokes just that, with a light and somber melody at start. Entitled "Take Myself Lightly", the accomanyment of the delicate flutework switches between strings, light percussion and vocal harmonics reflecting the changing of occupations. It is the one piece he composed that does not have a typical bridge to contrast between musical verses. His later work, "World of Harm" begins with a light melody, but is taken by the low plodding tuba to reflect the heavy burdens on the rapidly moving society. However, the deep and plodding weight of the tuba ends at the bridge, and brasswork continues throughout.


Art and Design
Another pretty kitsune was added to The art deck by Demos "Rise Evil" Kerrigan, she a youthful 3-tailed maiden in snow and powder blue, youthful by the standards of her immortal race as she is a mere billion years old. But don't say she is prim and proper, as a lunch shared between she and Hanaco from last week revealed her less-than-ladylike table manners.

Is Solitaire a CRAZY WILD OUTLAW WOLF? She doesn't appear so, but her dedication and perfectionist nature may qualify. The latest art she is working upon for a cutscene animation clearly shows her well defined style, though she reported that reworks will need be forthcoming. And a strong sense of consistency, Solitaire revealed three colorful scenes from other projects.

Within the forum's gallery, you can see more portraits among the halls of Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!. And as seasons change, it appear so does the wardrobe of the evil Imperian of Shadow. But low and behold. Remi-chan has three new sketches for future works; a dependable hero with past enemies as her new weapons, a bespeckled, wolf-eared vixen, and the dependable hero now realizing the terror that awaits her.


Literature
Within the library of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~, you will typically find pages of content of her current project. And with fresh ink, she penned a vignette where a small band of revolutionaries are surrounded by a battalion controlled by an evil general. Who will come to their aid may be a surprise.



Well, that's it for this week.

Official Area
Announcements and Updates
DerVVulfman thought about archiving yet another site, but as he was preparing for the endeavor, he discovered that KameSoft (formerly KGC) exists. A longtime source for RPGMaker scripts at nearly the dawn of RPGMaker XP, DerVVulfman discovered its update URL and newly rebranded name. On top of that, the site revised its terms of use which now allow for commercial use and possible reposting. That being the case, DerVVulfman crafted a dedicated thread entitled KAMESOFT - Formerly KGC Software in the Scripts Database for the list of all KameSoft event systems for RPGMaker 2000/3 and scipts/plugins for RPGMaker XP through to MV.


Occasions
Not a week passed after the completion of the HBGames Archive had an alumni of the board has appeared. Bart has now made an appearance and came looking for some content, new and passed. DerVVulfman saw him appear, greeted him and inquired as to his interests. And Remi-chan gave her welcome speech and noted our forum's discord.


General Chat
The last of the surviving hostages from Hamas hit this week's News of the World as even ABC's The View heralded the accomplishment as a massive achievement. Though slosly and incomplete, a few of the dead hostages were even recovered, But fragile, Hamas pulled in thousands of its members into central Gaza and began public executions. With that, refusing to lay down its arms, and firing upon Israeli targets, Hamas may have ended yet another ceasefire.With Ukraine's war against Russian aggression, there may be hope as Hungary has joined the coalition in Euripe to choke off Russian Oil. And there is plenty of talk about Ukraine acquiring U.S. Tomohawk missiles despite warnings by Russia's fomer President. Couple that with Ukraine's devastating drone attack shutting down another Russian refinery, Moscow tries to shrug off claims that even India had stopped buying their oil and funding their war effort. However, Sweden began stockpiling grain in the event of hostilities. More suits have appeared in the U.S., former NSA John Bolton indicted on 18 counts for illegally storing and transmitting classified documents, the grand jury hearing that he sent such top-secret level material to individuals and used non-sanctioned means for transmission. Biden Admin prosecutor Jack Smith is now under investigation for misconduct and disbarment over his tapping of nine Republican lawmakers. And there's been a delay in the depositions of Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the investigation of Jeffrey Epsetin. Meanwhile, more news about New York City mayoral candidate Mamdani surfaces, showing he has raised money for Hamas, refused to answer about connections to a terror linked Brooklyn imam, and and his wife mourned the death of a Palestinian indluencer who celebrated the October 7th massacre. In connection, it was also revealed that the City University of New York illugally used taxpayer money to push Mamdani's campaign. Violence in Europe continues as an Afghan man deemed mentally unfit appeared in a court over a deadly knife attack on toddlers in Germany. Italy's Anti-Mafia team was called into the massive explosion of their top investigative journalists, the journalist having received other threats in the past. And in England, Nigel Farage blasted leftist racist rhetoric for the violent assault on Reform’s George Finch just minutes away from his Town Hall. The impeached president of Madagascar fleeing the country, the return of a 2,400-year-old artifact to Greece, the possible impeachment of France's President Emmanual Macron, the UK’s Tax Raid on targets deemed wealthy, Saudi Arabia negotiating with the US for a sweeping defense pact, the arrest of four involved in a Mississippi shooting spree, an Indian student arrested in Moscow forced into Russian Forces against Ukraine, polar bears taking over abandoned Soviet-era research station, and more hit this week's news.

Artificial Intelligence once more hit the News of the Cyber World as it was revealed that a North Carolina school therapist used ChatGPT to research how to poison her husband's energy drink. With as much harm that has been reported by AI use, California Goveror Newsome signed the first ever AI Chatbot law with the intent to protect minors and force chatbot operators to impose safety protocols. Elon Musk has revealed that he intends to create an AI based replacement for the Microsoft Windows platform. And Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVidia, sent a letter of relief to all staff that Avinatan Or, an Israeli employee of the company, had finally been released by Hamas.

Development Discussion
For those working on their games, feel free to relay What's up in your RM endeavors like Remi-chan. Currently, she's been updating the faces of various characters so they can have more expressions during their appearances, this time updating the Lich Highlord and the Violent Violet Fairy with the psychotic scowl. The facesets are her current work, soley because she is awaiting work from her spriters and character artists.

Pleased with the new expressions she had crafted, the Maps and screenshots thread now has a few new shots of Remi-chan's game. Though possible that the scenes may have been revealed before, they did not have the newly updated portraits of the Highlord Naxon Viddigus nor the fresh faces for Fyori Felicee. Alliteration went too far.

Hospitals in the realm of RPG games will be elated that you can find more nurses among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. This week, three more sprites were created, one with a surgicl mask and one livid, zombie green. But this time, you should relish this brunette's anime styled red ribbon-tied buns.



Creativity Section
Music and Audio
Sometimes, you may wish a change of pace. And within the auditorium known as Double'sX Music Room, the 41st composition is precisely that. A resoundingly chirpy piece entitled "Feeling Unsure", it starts with vivace of Trumpet, harp and violin in whichlistener may see a bright future ahead, though the bridge did change the pace of the brass and less upbeat.A weighty tuba begins his 42nd work entitled "Finally Overwhelmed", it with a violin that would symbolize the passage of time. THough the delicat plucking of guitar strings appear before the bridge, the harmonics that appear at the bridge are themselves the embodiment of being broken.


Art and Design
While not actual art was added, the Slideshow program that was advertised within the topic for DerVV's Stream FrankenArts was updated, recognizing issues with folders and adding a new image list option.

The recent random stuff in Solitaire's CRAZY WILD OUTLAW WOLF! thread have some very detailed linework pieces, be it a heart clamped between massive jaws, a red rose or a pretty doll. As she continues such illustrations, will she return to spriting resources for her game?

An overtly cheery Kitsune has been added to Demos "Rise Evil" Kerrigan's art deck. Though more energetic and chipper than the first pair met by the sisters combined, one may find themselves deceived by the power of this seven-tailed powerhouse. It is no wonder that the Court Wizard relents to this spritely vision in flower adorned silk.

With the time that things of the night prowl, be ready for the villanous to appear within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!. So decide if you will, which life taker will it be, the Demon Hell Fears or the Unholy Butcher. Remi-chan revealed another illustration of her soulcatcher that first appeared in her gaming universe almost a decade ago, resplendent in indigo with her flowing locks and her lethal arcane scythe. But unarmed, the winged matron is a lethal harpy with claws that can shred flesh and talons that can crush skulls as her fuchsia clad form bloodily proved. Only one speeddraw video was provided, it to the first render she made this week.


Literature
The latest chapters within Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ delves further into later events on a world with a powerful panda-girl and the former maniacal pssychopath from a game made over a decade ago. But here, they decided to visit a fast food hamburger joint that somehow has franchises that appear throughout the cosmis. And while the party enjoys sits down to dine, they have a lengthy reminisce about events past.



Well, that's it for this week.

  The KameSoft (formerly KGC) Thread
Posted by: DerVVulfman - 10-16-2025, 07:06 PM - Forum: Announcements and Updates - Replies (8)

Dear friends,

A long time ago when the RPG Maker line began to flourish for PC use, a Japanese site known as KGC Software appeared.  They had innovative scripts for RPGMaker XP game development, many of which were recreated at times. The site did have some unfortunate policies such as no duplication of their works in other sites and no commercial use permitted. These two factors made talk of their scripts marginally difficult when forum administrators took notice.

After some time, it appeared that KGC Software had vanished some time a decade ago, and with that their content.  But that was not the case at all.

Rebranded and with new urls, the content is now under the KameSoft name.

The rules they put in place have severely relaxed, allowing for commercial use, allowing for posting of their content with a request of notification whence done, merely a request to give credit rather than a requirement, and even age restriction or limit on content maturity on games where used have been lifted.

In truth, the actual KGC scripts of old, and KameSoft RPGMaker MV plugins of new could be re-posted within Save-Point. But rather than that, a new thread within the main post of the Scripts Database has been created. HERE  From this thread, you can navigate to the individual pages of KameSoft software for the scripts or plugins you desire, the thread in English for your convenience.

Do note that Kamesoft/KGC Software scripts are in Japanese.  Understandably, it is recommended that you translate the instructions at the top of each script in use. 

--Thank you

This thread is a redirect page to a website with Japanese resources and software heralding from RPGMaker 2000 up to RPGMaker MV.  Its original terms of use were more strict, forbidding commercial usage or posting of their source content on other sites. However, terms had changed, and have become a whole lot more relaxed.

While this thread does not post the actual script content, it will post links and descriptions to said software.

You should be able to navigate through its site to find the resources.

Do note, using Google Translate upon the webpage will actively disable certain menus and hotlinks.  And line-by-line translation is way more accurate in comparison.

Official Area
Announcements and Updates
It was a long time in coming, but DerVVulfman finished work on The HBGames Archive Board. The scripts database appeared to have taken the longest to adjust. But after long last, every topic posted within now has the proper credentials and date stamps.


Occasions
Beware everyone, for Solitaire is back and on the loose. It has been a while since she was last seen, that because her PC decided to be an overgrown door stop. She caught the attention of our werewolf administrator after making a new account and shouting her return. And within moments, access to her account was restored.


General Chat
This week, the News of the World is a buzz with positive news that a cease fire between Hamas and Israel went into effect. True that Hamas demanded the release of a terroist known for deadly attacks during the Second Intifada. But all living hostages held will be released by Monday. However, there are those with anti-semetic perspectives. Greta Thunberg, known as a young climate rights advocate, cried about Palestinian suffering on social media, but used photos of an emaciated Israeli hostage. And the largest teacher's union in the United States sent 3 million members an email containing a map that completely erased Israel whilst also linking shocking material that defended Hamas’ depraved Oct. 7, 2023 that killed over 1000 and took the 200 hostages. The Russian attacks on Ukraine continues, with 4,200 Cubans found fighting on Russia's behalf. Russia has proven its lack of morals as it threatens to respond if any nuclear power performs tests while the Kremlin advances its own ballistic program. And with recent bombing runs near NATO space in Kaliningrad, NATO is now considering the use of live rounds on any Russian craft entering their airspace. But with all this, US First Lady Melania Trump helped reunify eight Ukranian children ruthlessly kidnapped by Russian forces. And it appears that China is having second thoughts, now restricting mid-tier precision machine tools and had scaled back purchases of Russian raw materials, including an 11-percent decline in oil. In the US, the current US Administration has found striking issues with those supporting illegal immigrants, drivers' licenses in New York with actual 'no name given' on the license, no more than a one-year prison sentence given to another for vehicular homicide, and attacks on ICE officers enforcing immigration laws have spiked ten fold within the past few months. For those in California, the Palisades wildfire arsonist has been caught. And according to court records, he listened to the French rap song "Un Zder, Un The", its video showing the artist committing arson himself. Democrats better double-check their donors and connections. Following a ban put in place during the Biden administration, a US diplomat was fired for having relations with a woman connected to the Chinese Communist Party. And Democrat Mikie Sherrill, running for the New Jersey Governorship, received $65,000 in donations from a CCP linked business man herself. And newly revealed, the Biden Administration's FBI not only targeted Republican senators for wiretaps, but over 90 conservative groups including the late Charlie Kirk. And as expectde, China is still misbehaving, now sending a flotilla of destroyers and other vessels around Japan itself. And a Philippine vessel tasked with protecting its fisherman was blasted by a Chinese vessel that rammed it and fired water cannons close to Thitu Island, Filipino waters that China claims as its own as it has much any other waters in or near the South China Sea. Fifty eight Pakistani soldiers killed by the Afghan military for terrirory and airspace violations, mutilated birds drained of blood possibly part of a cult ritual in New York, the delay of an Australian airflight after its engine burst into flames during takeoff, a 1,200-person caravan from Cuba making its way to Mexico City rather than the U.S, New York mayor candidate Mamdani roasted by the Washington post and the Police department, at least 38 tycoons in Russia dead under mysterious circumstances, and more hit this week's news.

Tech Talk
Recent reports show that Chinese Hackers have been working tirelessly to break into cloud services used by law offices, potentially gaining intelligence in the ongoing trade war. And those connected to the Chinese Government have been identified hacking into the US law firm Williams & Connolly, a firm that handles some of America’s most powerful politicians. Along with that, it was revealed that China has plans for Taiwan, already known to have outsourced thier intelligence gathering apparatus to other complicit nations.

Once more, AI hit the News of the Cyber World, this time announcing that recent models no longer have the political biases of the past. However, safeguards and preventative measures have shown lacking. NBC news ran tests and found they could trip up ChatGPT into giving instructions for bio weapons and more, and Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmid announced a dire warning that guard rails and safeguards could be removed with AI learning to directly commit murder. Money hit the cyberworld as well, a Ukrainian crypto trader found in his Lamborghini with his gun and likely suicide bullet to the head, Elon Musk's $128Million severance settlemant with fired Twitter executives, and a financially motivated hacker group called Storm-2657 have been targeting many insitutions to hijacking salary payments of those mainly in higher education. Of course lawsuits are rapant, New York now pursuing Facebook, Google and TikTok over claims of addictive material harming children's mental health, business leaders urging US President Trump to renew his vigor in antitrust caes against Google and Ticketmaster, and China pushing antitrust investigations into cellphone chip maker Qualcomm. But if you think that's all, then you don't know the Cyberworld.

Anyone can share What's up in their RM endeavors. And Remi-chan isn't shy of doung such as she has plans to redesign boss fights and upgrade the facial reactions of key figures Along with that, she has new sprite artwork from Xiie (or Rune) and new material from her portrait artist, Pjcr.

Within the Maps and screenshots thread, we see more renders from Remi-chan's current game, Fantasia. One day she presents us with a couple of interesting cat girls while the second had more and an odd elf wearing a mask apparently made of wood.

One may say that more fan art was made this week for Rave Heart by Starmage. But that wouldn't be wholly correct as the illustration of two on a romantic date was by Starmage herself.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine
A suggestion by Ace_V made perfect sense to kyonides. As such, one more update was made to Super Skill Nerf XP. Not only are the heroes subject to powerful limitations upon certain acts of magic or skill, but enemies too may be subject to features such as skill cooldowns.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines
While glossed over, kyonides noticed that there was an issue with how viewports are disabled. As such, he offered a very simple and understanable Scene_File FIX for users of RPGMaker VXAce.

For those using the RPGMaker VXAce port to Kursor by kyonides, you may have noticed a small chance that the cursor's index may not properly set when entering the map scene. The latest iteration for VXAce users fixes this issue. To those using RPGMaker VX itself, you have naught to worry.

If anyone has need of a nurse, then check in at the Triage center for Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. As nurses are the current theme, Ace_V decided to make some male counterparts. But with the spooky season upon us, he had to also gift us one that went through zombification.

Get ready for some RRANDOM STUFF IN THECRAZY WILD OUTLAW WOLF! thread by Solitaire. This time, we see a screenshot from a game inspired by characters created Solitaire's best friend. True that it is green monochrome akin to the old 1970s monitors, but in a very highly detailed and defined manner.

There were no full-coloured portaits nor speed-draws within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing this week. Instead, many pencilwork concepts such as those for an upcoming promotional video short, designs of characters currently in use and of their future incarnations, and even comic book pages mirroring upcoming events in Remi's current project.

Early this week, a new image appeared among DerVV's Stream FrankenArts. While not from a stream itself, it is yet another bit of frankenspriting that the resident wereolf did with Siletrea as again the subject. However, it is the appearance of the winged noodle in a Masamune Shiro cover. But DerVVulfman didn't think that was enough and released a small windows slideshow application which he updated some days later.

It has been a while since she's been around. But on her return, Solitaire decided to thank everyone who's appreciated her work by posting Mr. Wolf and Le Bunnies!. Fun and cute, enjoy the wabby floppy ears and hijinks when striped popcorn buckets are around.


Literature
For those who like listening to audiobooks, get ready for a treat. This week, you no only have the option to read another optional quest in Remi-chan's current project, but to listen to Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ with some background music and a few sound effects to boot. This time, it unveils a new pandagirl character and a threat to a planet from one of Remi's earlier works, TerraL New Moon.


Well, that's it for this week.

General Chat
In this week's News of the World, Russia hit center stage, but not only with attacks against Ukraine but with massive drone incursions throughout Europe. Drone swarms have been everywhere, surrounding critical sites such as airports and critical infrastructures. It was a Russian tanker off the coast of Denmark that may been the source for the latest incursion over Danish airspace. While drone strave Europe's airspace, they continue to launch attacks against Ukraine, using updated missile guidance technology, and massive drone strikes. But how long can Russia hold out as Ukraine received intel to decimate Russia's oil refineries and bases while offering to assist the US to cut Russia out of selling oil in Europe. In the U.S., the government shutdown may be taking center stage, but while democrats refused to admit it was to give free healthcare to illegal aliens, Democrat Maxine Waters admited it was to get healthcare to literally everyone, Medicaid confirmed spending exists, and that at leat $6.5 Billion was by California alone. Not even a month had gone by since the last attack upon a place of worship, for a Harvard law professor been fired after firing pellet guns at a Boston Synagogue and a New Jersey man was apprehended outside a DC church with molotov cocktails, fireworks and other arsonist paraphernalia. After President Trump sent the National Guard to Chicago, over 900 criminal arrests were made. One was a gun-carrying woman already known to Customs agents, active indoxxing agents and inciting riots. And despite a Portland Judge appointed by Biden ruled that Trump could not send military to Oregon, he defied her order and sent 300 California National Guard troop where attacks happen nightly. Do know that 40 US Code 1315 'mandates the protection of government property, including federal buildings, through various statutes that prohibit wrongful taking or misuse of such properties. Ds democrats deny the violence going on, it cannot be understated that actual bounties, dead or alive, have been issued on the agents. Violence of all sorts exists too in Europe, with the killer of two at a Manchester Synagogue now identified, and the arrest of dozens of pro-Palestinians protesters mere days after the murder. Vandalism by pro-Palestinians also sparked outrage in Rome as the statue of Pope John Paul II, a polish survivor of the NAZI occupation, was defaced with graffiti calling him a Fascist. For Georgia, protests are made by thousands against the government that has used draconian methods of prison and beating to stifle activists and media alike. The protests began after what they call a rigged election that was in Moscow's favor and ended talks with it joining the E.U. In the Middle East, Israel gave citizens a last warning to leave Gaza city as they prepare to take out the last of Hamas. This coincided with Hamas rejecting US President Trump's last ceasefire deal, a 20 point plan that most Arab nations hailed. Despite the rejection, Trump issued one final warning if the group doesn't surrender. Modova's pro-European Union political party making strides threatening the Kremlin's ties, Prince William's heartbreaking admission about Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, Over twenty Salvador Dali counterfeit works seized at an art exhibit, a 6.9-magnitude earthquake in the Phillippines killing over seventy, the near fatal poisoning of Bashar al-Assad in exile in Russia, North Korea's strike teams against anti-socialist breast surgeries (I cannot make that up), and more hit this week's news.

Another week passes, and AI invariably ends up in the News of the Cyber World, with posters avertising the new AI necklace vandalize in New York, Elon Musk suing Sam Altman's ChatGPT over program code theft, AI based phishing eMails having evolved to be indistinguisable from legitimate content, and an AI controlled digital simulated actress is being sought for in Hollywood. In the realm of hackers, the notorious “clOp” ransomware gang have been targeting prominent US business executives. But the the 14 defendants that hacked and stole millions of records from Adecco employment in France with some sentanced to six years in prison and a €30,000 fine. And Discord itself was just the subject of a hack attempt through its third-party customer service providers, claiming no actual access to Discord itself was made, And after the UK saw Imgur, a popular image sharing site, had no age verification system and threatened punative fines, Imgur cut off all services in the UK. President Trump winning a wrongful termination lawsuit against youtube, Tesla selling half a million obliterating expectations, AOL finally shutting down its internet service, and more hit the cybernews this week.

One more remedy was added to kyonides's Kuick Leader Swap XP system, one in which will prevent the system from attempting to execute the member changing process when no actors are at all available.

If you want to be a HEAD of the game, KTurnOrder for RPGMaker XP now allows you to have actor heads to be used at start with a simple switch enabled. But it is up to you to have that configuratble value set. However, Ace_V's suggestion to have enemy turns rendered before the player decides their actions was not possible to grant.

As it is now the season where things go bump in the night, kyonides made a fairly simple inquiry. So if you want to make a game where everyone Screams, you can now find a familiar face among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. Indeed, Ghostface has now made an appearance, both unarmed and whilst carring a knife for those wishing to relive the Wes Craven late 90s slasher experience. But fret not those who need the uniform, for both nurses and zombies alike may yet make their return next week.

Music and Audio
Stepping into the ampitheater of our forum, you will find that new performances within DoubleX's Music Room are ongoing. One of his recent works entitled "Drained Dry" uses tubas and bass to give a melancholy vibe of exhaustion while the rapid striking of a xylophone exemplifies the passage of time. It changes midway through with a cello and lone woodblock for a time to relate a feeling of being spent and worn out. Hs work, "Internal Turmoil" begins with a cello and wind instrument typifying the passage of time with more burdensome instruments being applied, until the heavy beat of a bass drum thumps away. And DoubleX's fourtieth composition entitled "Habitually Overloaded" exemplifies what many of us feel, the anxiety of being asked to repeatedly perform jobs while already exhausted and the distress felt if you try to refuse. Muted brass, low octave piano and the dull, throbbing drum beats certainly exemplify the turmoil this pice is meant to emote.


Art and Design
The forum's art gallery has many a halls, and one of these are dedicated to Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! It is within her halls that the fifth and final portrait was made for September. So gaze with amazement upon an apparently web-spinning, hooded panda girl, if the light blue panda t-shirt wasn't a giveaway. Powerful indeed, she is created by the same who had also given life to the kangaroo heroin of the Remi Multiverse. Clad in robes of snow and slate, hair of both ebony and alabaster, she appears totally calm against the sea of stars. Sadly, this is but one of the few renders in which Remi-chan neglected to record her process for any stream draws to present.



Well, that's it for this week.

DerVVulfman seems to be working dilligently on archiving as the forum now has both HBGames and GameBaker Archive Boards. In a mere day, uploaded all the salvageable material from sandgolem's RPGMaker script and resource board of 2008. And he has now begun working on correcting the posters names and datestamps to the threads archived. However, it appears there is more to save as DerVVulfman discovered more completed games in HBGames from a long time ago that he didn't encounter before.


General Chat
The war waged between Ukraine and invading Russia continues to appear in News of the World as Ukraine special forces takes out Putin's amphibious war planes, and another dozen of the kidnapped 35,000 Ukrainian children have been rescued from Russia. MATO, after several drone incursions into their airspace around Denmark, Poland, Norway and Lithuania this week alone, have announced the basics of a Drone Wall defense system. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy criticized NATO for not taking stronger actions against the incursions, but NATO member Sweden vowed to shoot down any Russian aircraft that violates their airspace while NATO indeed launched fighters during one of Russia's latest aerial assaults. As far as the US is concerned, President Trump's attitude is that Ukraine should be able to reclaim any and all land seized by Russia and scolded European nations for buying Russian oil and funding their war machine. In the Middle East, Iran not only complained about facing consequences during talks with the United nations, the regime blanketly refused to cooperate and accept IAEA monitoring. As a result the UN snapback sanctions were applied, freezing assets abroad and crippling their economy. Meanwhile, Hamas executed three Gazans claiming they collaborated with Israel;, this as the IDF pushes deeper to destroy their main stronghold while announcing that Hamas has shown its true face by executing and exploiting its own to prolong the war. And joining the IDF to fight against Hamas is the last of the US hostages Hamas held underground for over two years. In the US, there is more political fallout. An aide to former First-Lady Jill Biden revealed who was actually in charge of the White House, and it wasn't Joe. Amidst the repeated denials from the FBI under the Biden administration, its been revealed that over two-hundred FBI agents were indeed at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. US President Trump declared Antifa a domestic terror organization, and sent the National Guard to Portland and protect ICE agents; not allowing anything like the Summer of Love 2020 riots to return. Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routhe tried to kill himself in the courthouse after being found guilty on all counts. As Democrats at the Capital vow to shut down the government, Democrat Governor Fetterman called them for their hypocrasy while video footage of themselves railing against shutdowns in the past and who it harms. And just as it was a month ago, a church in Michigan falls under the wave of domestic terrorism. Russia's stance in the Asian Pacific is rather aggressive, sending a nuclear-armed submarine to sail off the coast of Japan and is selling military equipment to aid and prepare China for an invasion into Taiwan. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that North Korea has four facilities that are processing weapons-grade uranium for nuclear weapons. This after Kim Jong Un touted secret weapons were being developed. And sadly, there may be a breakdown in the ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia brokered by US President Trump, though neither side has officially declared the ceasefire void. Russia caught interfering in Moldova's parliamentary elections, Trump’s 21-point Gaza peace plan getting rave reviews from Arab allies, Typhoon Ragasa battering through the South China Sea and the casualties, an ancient treasure hoard over 1,600 years old found in Galilee where Jesus was known to have preached, the Bagram airforce base in Afghanistan, the grand jury indictment of former FBI Chief James Comey on perjury and obstruction, Former French President Sarkozy found guilty on some campaign finance charges where funds came from Libya, Obama's $2.2 billion solar plant in California scheduled to be turned off after years of wasted money, death threats levied against the Italian Prime Minister attributed to Pro-Palestine activists, and so much more hit this week's news.

This week, censorship hit the News of the Cyber World as Wikipedia itself became rife with controvercies, editors attacking the Charlie Kirk funeral by brandishing it NAZI, deleting the story of Iryna Zarutska's death while protecting the illegal alien murderer, and more. But along with that, Google came forward and openly admitted that they themselves were involved in censorship, laying bare that they were ordered by the Biden Administration to delete content and close accounts on demand. However, such news was never broadcast by the legacy media of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or the like. In the realm of security, the US Secret Service uncovered a vast network of over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers in New York by hostile foreign agents and criminals to SWAT and endanger prominent conservatives. On examination, they realized that these devices were capable of crippling cell towers and jamming 911 calls across New York City, many of these were found around the United Nations building in particular. The subject of AI has also appeared, AI models actively refusing to give correct information to its developers while office workers encouraged to use AI are finding low-grade content as the result. At least a million citizens in the UK vehemently against the creation of manditory Digital IDs, Microsoft cutting cloud support to the Israeli military, NASA's plans for a return to the Moon, and more hit the cybernews this week.

If anyone was using Super Skill Nerf for RPGMaker XP and found it crash the game when you entered the skill menu, you are not alone. ut a fix was made to the system, and said crash should no longer occur.

The newest release of KBribe by kyonides now has a new option, one where an enemy you failed to bribe may decide to ask for even more money out of spite.

Ever labouring upon his new craft, a 37th composion has now appeared within DoubleX's Music Room. The song begins with the echoes of a pipe organ the sets a somber mood for the listener, when moments later a wave of xylophone strikes their "Chaotic Mind." The melody continues with chimes, cellos and bass drums until the bridge when the tinkling of the xylophone is pulled aside and quickly replaced with the dancing of the ivories.

Harken all ye who wish to gaze upon beauty amidst teror. For within the halls of art, the Last of the Living Royalty has returned to Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! It was early this month that Remi-chan unveiled the Evil God, Xaela. But with that release, a pencil sketch had followed and was the basis for she who is the Phantamagoria of the Pale Moon, Tiramisa. Is it a blessing that she remains as beautiful and unchanging as when she was in her early twenties? After terrors unleased upon she, her family, and her family's family, one may wonder if eternal life worth it. And at ninety, though still as lovely, more terror for her and her remaining kin awaits. Be ready for the vision in burgundy set against pale jade, and the speed draw that follows.



Well, that's it for this week.

Announcements and Updates
After a long series of weeks, The new HBGames Archive Board now has every tutorial that could be saved. The collection was eclectic, having material to make a Pac-Man game, options for making mirror or reflect features without a script, and having rediscovered some articles that have been lost for nearly two decades. There were a fair number that could not be saved as the original posteres used file and image sharing sites that have vanished, but the labor was fruitful and safeguarded over two-hundered tutorials. Work was not finished with just RPGMaker Tutorials as a handful of tutorials for GameMaker were too acquired, and a few handy RPGMaking tools were likewise reclaimed.


Occasions
Being a gamer who apprecitates fare with action or mature content, tatalaba came by to see if our forum had any of the software or scripts that contributed to some of his favorite RPG Maker games. And if new games to find were his interest, Remi and DerVVulfman both gave directions.

Its been a while, but KDC found another one of those Videogames that celebrate Birthdays. These are games that look at your account for your birthday and look at the real-world calendar to see if its "cake day", and today he found and added Gran Tursmo to the list. Not only did KDC get well wishes, but a Mercedes-Benz in-game. Also, you can watch a youtube video that he linked up if you wish.

This week's News of the World sees Russia causing problems throughout all of Europe. Not only have they invaded Ukraine and started the war, but Putin's spokesman now taunts a war threat against NATO, this as Russian Drones breaches Lithuania's airspace, jets crossing into Estonia with NATO/Swedish jets intercepting those in Estonian airspace, crossing into restricted airspace in Poland, and having made the same false accusations against Finland that it also used as justification to invade Ukraine. As tensions rise, the UK arrest three Russian spies during US President Trump's official State visit in the UK, Trump pledged unwavering support and defense to Baltic NATO nations, the EU announced more sanctions against Russia and told member nations to end any further Russian Oil purchases, and Japan began stocking up NATO airforce bases. Japan does so as it sees both Russian and Chinese naval ships working together while China continues encroachment into neighboring waters. Only recently, Chinese vessels have strafed the Taiwan-owned Pratas Islands which China claims as its own as it claims Taiwan itself. And only a week before it declared a nature reserve within Philippine waters, prompting a three-day joint exercise with U.S. and Japan. And even more recently, Japan and the U.S. have been conducting Exercise Resolute Dragon 25 demonstrating ship-sinking capabilities. Israel's attack against Hamas leadership in Qatar has done much damage, both Iran and Egypt now spearheading its own regional defense pact similar to NATO. And as a rebuke against Israel, Canada, UK and Australia have all chosen to recognize Palestine as an official UN member state, this under protest by Israel and by the U.S. claiming such actions would reward Hamas and hinder all efforts to bring any more hostages back home. Democrat Governor Shapiro's sharp words for Kamala Harris over Former President Biden's health, Russian TV insinuating U.S. involvment in the Charlie Kirk assassination, Ukraine releasing footage of their strike against Russian oil refineries, The sinking of a second Venezuelan boat carrying drugs to the U.S., China's economy struck by a sharp decline, and more hit this week's news.

Within the News of the Cyber World, there has been growing issues with AI, ChatGPT caught playing stupid when researchers asked the service to evaluate itself, Firefox users grimace that its security based browser will be using a third-party AI service, and China just realized it spent over a quarter million to train its own. Hackers have been totally evil, now creating fake Internet Crime Complaint sites, uploading Ransomware on sushi suppliers, shutting down London transportation, and telecoms in South Korea.

Guess what game is featured in the 2025 South East Asia Showcase. If you said Rave Heart, you would be correct! But not just that, but other games by Starmage, including A Sun-Kissed Fantasy, Delvin: Origins, and many more. A video of the showcase was made available for those wondering about all the games that were featured as well as their gameplay.

More advances have been made within the HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable by kyonides. Nearly every key option can use the Input.repeat? feature with the odd exception of the ALT, CTRL and SHIFT keys. But who would repeat the SHIFT key anyway? But along with that are graphic improvements suchas the updates to the screen resolution and resize systems, a feature to return the largest texture size based on the user's graphics card, and repairs to the window dispose system, an issue that most no-one would even have noticed. Now available for both Windows and Linux users.


Scripts Database
RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine
An update was made to the background in kyonides' KInfoMenu XP script. If you want the menu to be translucent, you can now perform a change to the WINDOW_BACK_OP setting.

Following a request made by Ace_V, kyonides quickly updated KBribe XP to determine if the amount paid was fixed or based upon a percentage to reflect the enemy's greed.

Game developers can now be real mean with kyonides's Super Skill Nerf XP, adding options to force users to wait a number of turns before select skills can be used again, and even make some skills usable only twice throughout an entire battle. But not everything done this week was made to torture the heroes as some visual options were added as well.

The idea of using a summons tends to be that of a temporary NPC that fights on your side within a battle system. But with Bless & Kurse XP by kyonides, who knows if the entity you summon during battle will be friend or foe?

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines
If an ingame tutorial is what you need in your RPGMaker VX project, then KInfoMenu CX by kyonides would allow you to do so with many GUI options. However, it is not a plug-and-play script as there are many configuration values within the KInfoMenu module to adjust.

For anyone who wishes to torture the players, kyonides's Super Skill Nerf VX now includes that limit some skills to be usable only twice through an entire battle, or force heroes to wait a set number of turns before certain skills can be re-cast. But not everything done this week was made to torture the heroes as some visual options were added as well.

The sheet music is ready and the orchestra is assembled whenever you wish to enter DoubleX's Music Room. And this week, he has been busy composing new melodies. Beginning with "Deeply Touched", the heavy pianowork at the beginning typifies the downtrodden of society with oboes and woodwinds appearing not long after to try to and understand and ease any appearing plights. Quick and chaotic appears the piano keys in "Too Weak to Live" with a mix of high flutes and chimes to exemplify the chaos one deals with every day. Just days later, Mental Suffocation was released with a piano riff of a near latin beat. Coupled with woodwinds for a time, a heavy bass drum intruded not long after to add weight for the passing of time. But following that was Utopian Dreams, beginning with light harps and woodwinds in a happy melody. Accompanied later by an eclectic collection of instruments in a discordant manner to represent the difference between the dreaming world and real life, it was his 39th composition and the latest so far.

Gaze upon a visual interpretation of things to come. For within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing, we see one of the outcomes of her current game in progress. The Terminus Void is the title of another render of Remi's long created characters, the Queen of Shadows as she is set to apear in her new role, if the players of her game are able to survive. Over seven hours to complete, you can watch this maiden set against the emptiness in a twelve-minute speed draw.

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
DerVVulfman is still adding tutorials to the The new HBGames Archive Board, but finding a large number that used image gallery and file sharing sites that no longer exist. In some cases, content itself was pulled by the poster. And in a few cases, he saw that some individuals posted the same tutorial two, three or even four times in a row for no apparent reason. Still, he states he is now halfway through the tutorials.


General Chat
This week, the News of the World was stunned by the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was at a Utah university answering questions following his speech. The killer, Tyler Robinson, used a bolt action rifle with shells etched with hateful messages. Following, Russia launched a new series of strikes against Ukraine, blaiming both Democrats and Ukraine supporters for the violence in the US. As to Russia and its war with Ukraine, it has not backed down, now exiting the truce against torture, and repeatedly violating NATO airspace. Poland called for an article 4 hearing, the result being a build up of defenses along the border entitled "Eastern Sentry". Russia scoffs at this and claims it a ploy to pressure US President Trump to end his goal for a peace deal. But while Trump calls for more sanctions to cripple Russia's economy and target India and China for their support, US B-2 stealth bombers slipped in with a weapons drop test right at Russia's doorstep. Israel's work to eliminate Hamas took a downturn this week as they struck an apartment complex in Doha, Qatar in an attempt to kill the Hamas's leadership that has been in Qatar all this time. The attack was in responce to the murder of six at at Jerusalem bus stop just before. China is continuing to make claims of territories and lands owned by other nations, now escalating tensions and laying claim to waters in the Philippines. And just after Iran signed a deal with the IAEA for regular inspections, backtracked and issued further warnings. Greta Thuberg's Gaza Flotilla fire caused by an activist and not a drone as claimed, the killer of a Ukrainian Refugee in the US out on cashless bail despite his long criminal history, France's recent collapse and struggle for a fourth prime minister in the past 12 months, the UK firing its ambassador to the UK amidst recent Epstein revalations, MSNBC fires another anchor over insensitve remarks of the Charlie Kirk assassination, Ex-White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre 'prepped' with answers over Biden decline by staff, so-named 'New California' wishes to break away from Democrat control to form 51st US state, and more hit this week's news.

Tech Talk
The threat of Chinese Hackers continues as Salt Typhoon has been running a years-long campaign to steal intellectual property, revealing now that its assault on worldwide telecommunications have given it access to nearly every citizen in 80 countries. And why not? For it also came out that China indeed hacked the UK's election system and stole the information of 40 million voters. Their vain attempt to cover it up was revealed when the FBI discovered that China was sending fake eMails to staffers within the US House of Representatives, eMails fraudulently claiming to be from the House Chairman over Chinese Strategy itself.

Security threats were the main focal-point within the News of the Cyber World as Microsoft Edge ranked as the worst browser for privacy, the two-factor authorization in many android phones is still in danger and has been since 2014, and modern RAM chips are in serious danger of Rowhammer attacks. Meanwhile, if you want to turn your iPhone into a DROID, there's a patch for you.



Games Development
Development Discussion
When looking to see What's up among our RMers, you'll find that Remi-chan is finally getting out of her funk and back into working on her game, recoding all her previous material. But more than that happened as she received new spritesork from Rune (or Xiie), and elf portraits from Pjcr.


Upcoming Projects
KDC has been busy, and wished to show off the evented title screen he created for Memorie. He felt he had some lag issue with how it operated, but received some guidance from kyonides.


Tutorials
This week, kyonides noted a few of Ruby's Peculiarities, things he considers strange or unusual when he compares them to other object-orientated languages. But it is merely a light read, not meant to go deep into the underlying mechanics of the language.



Material Development
Scripts Database
RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine
For those that think that having to condemn a party member to death is a harsh thing with the KursedVictory script by kyonides, be aware that he released two new updates. The first allows one to refuse the option which would lead into a second battle. And the second update grants one the opportunity to deliver a visual reaction before the second battle begins.

Last week, kyonides revealed the Kuick Leader Swap XP script which actively changes the party layout with the press of a button. But this week, he added two new features; the first being a switch to disable player control over the party cycling feature and the second the option to randomly decide the party leader from the group.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines
For those that think that having to condemn a party member to death is a harsh thing with the KursedVictory script by kyonides, be aware that he released an update. The latest version allows one to refuse the option to slay one of their own, but only at the cost of entering a second battle for their lives.

A strange bug appeared within the Command Color script that kyonides had for RPGMaker VXAce, a bug caused by how the command window updates the contents.

For those that are familiar the MGC's First Person Labyrinth Engine, 5Brainplay has been dabbling with scripting and released a few FPLE ACE Addon/Enhancements. Because he is using Claude.AI to assist in his labors, he notes at the top of the thread that there is AI assistance and coding present. However, you may find upgraded third-person player sprite options, tile swapping options and more.


Resources Database
2D Resources
In some games, you have to get the bad guy. In other games, you are the bad guy. So where else would you put the bad guy but in jail. But fret not, for you can now begin filling your prison system demands with the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. This week, Ace_V began his latest spriting arc with a few hands extending and reaching out through prison bars.



Creativity Section
Music and Audio
For your listening pleasure, two more works have been presented within DoubleX's Music Room. The first entitled "Heavy Burden" is indeed laden with deep bass, tuba and bass drumwork representing all the responsibilities one may have, if but only for a possible reprieve with light chimes and wood instruments temporarily releiving the strain. The second composition entitled "Total Surrender" begins with a bass followed by rapid but low octive keyboard progression to symbolize the lack of control anyone has on their life, only for the outlook to appear hopeful with light chimes, wood block and flutes.


Art and Design
Once more has a full color render of the Pandemonic Neko of chaos entered Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!. Not with a sideview glance has Rykki Schrödinger appeared this past May, but in a full portrait as she stares into your soul. Armed with a heavy barreled pistol and a few coins to flip, she's ready to play the game Ultrakill, but with anyone she pleases. A work that took over half a day, the post came with a flourishing prose and a twenty-four minute speed draw video.


Literature
As she continues to work on her game, we are gifed a few of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets. In this instance, the shippet is for a future optional event within Remi-chan's game, Fantasia, where its revealled that the Children of Calamity's numbers have indeed grown. But for how long would their numbers remain when a powerful force known only as Red appears and has one in restraints and retribution in her eyes,



Well, that's it for this week.
