				 (September 1 to September 7, 2025) ![[Image: KoFi_Support.png]](https://www.save-point.org/images/Kofi/KoFi_Support.png)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
 
 
 
  Announcements and Updates 
The work on The new HBGames Archive Board  as Remi-chan revealed that DerVVulfman was hit with one of the infamous Malware ransom screens.  While he had taken it to a technician for its relatively brisk removal, he let it stay with the tech
 
Given that he discovered that a number of games had vanished from other forums which he had archived, DerVVulfman decided to go through Save-Point's own boards and made a thread revealing the creation of The Lost Completed Games  subforum. He has since gone through the forum's own games, confirmed a great many, repaired links to a few, and found a number that have content that no longer exists.
   Occasions 
This week, 5Brainplay  joined the community, working upon a Nintendo-esque but legally distinct parody game while using the First Person Labyrinth System by MGC. As he is not a scripter, he notes he is using AI to help him craft script add-ons to give new options for the RPGMaker Raytracing system he is using.  DerVVulfman wished him luck and revealed that there was source code for MGC's DLLs, but 5Brainplay is not a coder himself and is using AI to assist.  Remi-chan has her qualms over AI usage, but added that presenting the work with a notification that some code may be AI generated would be fine.
   General Chat 
For DerVVulfman, it appears blood tests and pain was on his mind  as he had to take a trip to the hospital. Hit with an agonizing pain, he was in the hospital for five hours after suffering the initial agony of his first kidney stone's appearance.
 Reduced from 18.3K words down to 302The war of Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to be in the News of the World  as Putin invites Ukraine's President Zelenskyy to meet him in Moscow. In rebuttal, Zelenskyy suggested Russia's President Putin to meet him in Kyiv. Following that, Putin intentified attacks and began enforcing the Russian border. And as EU President's plane was hit by Russian Jammers, Trump called out Europe for funding Russia by purchasing their oil. China held a military parade to reveal three new weapons to both Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, however there was an unexpected hot-mic moment when President Xi and President Putin were discussing immortality by way of organ transplants. In the US, CBS got hit with another count of deceptive editing, cutting her interview to ‘whitewash’ Kilmar Abrego Garcia's MS-13 background and more. While Chicago Democrats roil against Trump's intent to use the National Guard to quell crime, DC's Mayor Bowser openly endorces federal policing after its massive success. Over 600 newly released documents reveal that the CDC under the Biden administration downplayed risks of the Covid Vaccine and the benefits of natural immunity. And roughly 600 military lawyers are set to serve as temporary immigration judges to resolve the millions of backlogged cases. Venezuela's President Maduro rails against the US, just as a Drug Boat from Venezuela was sunk by US forces. Following this, Venezuelan jets provocatively buzzed a US navy ship. A driver in Australia crashing his car into the the Russian Consolate in Sydney, Trump's latest prisoner exchange offer again ignored by Hamas, Finland finally removing the swastika from its Air Force flags, 300 illegal aliens from South Korea busted in an ICE raid, six candidates from Germany's AFD party die just before local elections with authorities claiming no foul play, and much more hit this week's news.   Tech Talk 
Within this week's News of the Cyber World , there were data breaches a plenty, be they 24Million AT&T customers,  252 Million targets mostly in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates due to misconfigured servers in Brazil and the UAE, the Drift AI system shut down after discovery its use in hacking Google and Cloudflare, and the recent update of Spotify that can DOX its own users. Censorship of social media also hit the news as Google was down in Turkey by apparent accident, Nepal shuts down Facebook, X, Youtube and dozens more under protest, and  Russia blocks Zuckerberg's content,  On an odd note, a lawyer named Mark Zuckerberg is suing Meta over repeated closures of his account for incorrect claims of identity thef. Disney's settlement for stealing children's data, Character.AI busted for sending disturbing material to minors while impersonatiing celebrities, and much more hit this week's cybernews.
 
 
  Development Discussion 
If you are wondering about What's up in RM making , Remi-chan has been going through her rewritten battles and replacing leftover code with the new. And meanwhile, Rune (or Xiie) finished working on one more of Remi's character sprites.
 
Despite the darkened and gloomy backdrop, the Maps and screenshots thread  now reveals new sprited characters in Remi-chan's current work.
   Code Support 
There was some back and forth discussion within Ace_V's request for help in his Lead Actor Swapper script error . As the discussion continued, DerVVulfman suggested narrowing down what scripts could be interfering with the system, and also noticed that Ace_V was using an older and untranslated edition of his caterpillar script. But after a few days, DerVVulfman discovered the final issue Ace_V encountered was based on an issue with the Lead Actor script itself, not altering the order of the party itself but instead faking it.  Both he and kyonides released replacement scripts.  Ace_V opted to use kyonides's script since kyonides and Ace_V were sending messages quite rapidly, while encountering an odd bug with DerVVulfman's system.  But DerVVulfman updated a video and a later demo for Ace_V to test, DerVVulfman suggesting there is yet one more error lying somewhere within.
 
 
  Scripts Database 
  RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine 
 Kyoniides found he had to update the demo for KLastWords XP , while simultaneously updating ths script itself to  prevent stack errors resulting from the F12 Resset key's use.
 
Within the demo for KLastDefeat XP , a problem appeared one was loading events from another map. And it was the result of a single line of code that kyonides repaired immediately upon discovery.
 
If you had need for a tutorial menu in an RPGMaker XP project, then KInfoMenu XP  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.
 
Sometimes, you may come across a battle so malevolent, that the party is left with naught but to sacrifice one of their own to continue another day. For this, kyondes created  KursedVictory XP , a script that will force the player to decide who lives and who dies at the end of any specified villain's battle.
 
There was an unexpeced error within KMustDie XP , one that kyonides had to repair. The issue was that the script did not differentiate between normal battles and those that did not require every enemy in the troop to be slain.
 
Sometimes a skill that an actor may learn is too powerful and could make the game completely unbalanced.  For this, kyonides created Super Skill Nerf XP  for RPGMaker XP.  With it, you can now limit those incredibly powerful attacks to be available but once in battle.
 
With inspiration by Ace_V, kyonides designed Kuick Leader Swap XP  to allow the cycling of the party members or even swappng the team leader with anyone else in the party.
  RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines 
 There was an unexpeced error within KMustDie VX + ACE , one that kyonides had to repair. The issue was that the scripts did not differentiate between normal battles and those that did not require every enemy in the troop to be slain.
 
Sometimes a skill that an actor may learn is too powerful and could make the game completely unbalanced.  For this, kyonides created [Thread=12790]Super Skill Nerf VX  for both RPGMaker VX and RPGMaker VX.  With it, you can now limit those incredibly powerful attacks to be available but once in battle.
 
Sometimes, you may come across a battle so malevolent, that the party is left with naught but to sacrifice one of their own to continue another day. For this, kyondes created KursedVictory VX + ACE , a script that will force the player to decide who lives and who dies at the end of any specified villain's battle.
   Resources Database 
  2D Resources 
 With all the aquatic resouces recently crafted, one final work entered the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V .  Here, you can find a fisherman wearing a modern yellow raincoat. And if you're wondering about a name, Ace_V gave a nod to a novel by Herman Melville.
 
 
  Music and Audio 
This week, three new compositions became available within DoubleX's Music Room .  The twenty-eighth piece he crated was entitled "Soulless Life", with oboes and piano repeating a narrative of a life with nothing to show for it as the calm of oblivion echoes. His work "Detached Outsider" uses flutes and cellows followed by a bridge with light guitar picks, wood blocks and chimes for his twenty-ninth piece to suggest being the odd-one-out may not be a bad thing. And with a deep bass and piano concerto as its beginning, "Waste of Space" is his thirtieth work that asks what's it all for?
   Art and Design 
Early this week, we found two sketches among Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! , two maidens who are both powerful in their own right. But by the end of the week, one was fully crafted in glorious and malevolent indigo against a blackened sky. And standing atop the body of her victim, the Evil God is tearing away his essence. For an illustration that took fifteen hours, she does have a twenty-two minute speed draw.  And following this up, a pencilling of yet another powerful maiden appears.
 
Gaze in wonder within the new museum halls of Amy's Artwork .  Amysaurus just released a new thread to showcase some o f her works, be it pixelwork, illustrations and game assets. Some of the content is even animated, be they a variety of sideview maidens or happy sideview dinosaurs.  Remi-chan gave a very encouraging opinion of her work, which was followed up by one more illustration, Karen and her Pokémon Team  that was also added into the main page's post.
   Literature 
Within the recent page among Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ , we are presented with the notion that the two who exist outside of reality in Remi-chan's recent game do not themselves exist.  Instead, we are presented with the true creator of all things, and that existence as we know it as a whole is naught but her test program.
 Well, that's it for this week.

				Dear Friends,
 
 As you know, I have been working to archive and secure material from other sites to ensure it remains accessible to the public.  However, Save-Point is not without casualties of its own.  There are a number of games that were within our Completed Project board that no longer have viable download links.
 When I first went through these, it was only a handful. No more than five or six.  But now that list has grown. Some of these, I understand cannot be restored as they were based upon the now defunct Adobe Flashplayer.  But others...

The Murder of You                        by Miharu
Welcome to Grausigheim                   by deValdr (formerly Valdred)
 
 A long list, I know.  NOT included in this list are Hearts by RMXPokemaniac and Wood Crash by MetalRenard as both of these are indeed an Adobe Flashplayer games.
 Also not listed is Belly of the Beast, but I have hopes that a copy will appear within a reasonable length of time.
 
 There is always hope.  For example, there were a number of games that had dead links that have since been  rediscovered and restored.  Of these, three were Fat Schombo's Castle by Deek,  Alpha: Survival of the Fittest by virus2099, and the original Hartacon v1.5 by Charlie Fleed.
 
 Some others just needed updated redirects or fixed up links to their screenshots.
 
 But if one can find any of these games, feel free to PM me.

				 (August 25 to August 31, 2025) ![[Image: KoFi_Support.png]](https://www.save-point.org/images/Kofi/KoFi_Support.png)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
 
 
 
   Announcements and Updates  If one wondered about the lack of activity in The new HBGames Archive Board , Remi-chan revealed that DerVVulfman's PC was hit by a Ransomware screen that locked things up. While she revealed that the screen was uqickly removed, DerVVulfman appeared to have stopped archiving for a time. Condolences were sent by Ace_V who may not have been struck by ransomware, but did have an incident years ago that did brick his own at one point.
   General Chat  Reduced from 22.6K words down to 282This week, the News of the World  goes back and forth with Iran as Iran delivers a so-called nuclear threat that inspectors will not be allowed in if sanctions are put in place. But the UK, France and Germany have already given warning that sanctions will indeed snap back in place as Iran has repeatedly violated the 2015 accords by kicking out the IAEA inspectors.WIth the war between Ukraine and Russia, Moscow claimed a nuclear facility was struck by Ukraine, though the IAEA said radiation levels around the installation are normal. Russia is mostly giving any hope for peace a cold shoulder while Zelenskii states three conditions that are non-optional. And all the while, Moscow claims attacks from defending Ukraine are hypocritical to peace whilst they continue to bomb civilian targets.  In Asia, Vietnam has set goals to create even more artificial islands in the South China Sea than China itself. And North Korea is in a fury as warning shots were fired by South Korean troops as the North's military crossed and violated the DMZ.  In the United States, another federal judge attacked President Trump's tariffs despite the Supreme Court siding with Trump over Tariffs this past June. DC's Mayor Bowder thanked Trump for the crime crackdown while other Democrats rail against his efforts. Even Chicago residents appear on video refusing the Democrat narrative.  And citing allegations of mortgage fraud, Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.  Australia giving Iran's ambassador the boot on discovery anti-semite inspired arson attacks,  Bill Gates no longer funding Democrat non-profits, Acetaminophen and its prenatal exposure linked to Autism and HDHD, the Annunciation School Shooting, and Batman in his PJs hit this week's news.   Tech Talk  Disturbing news about AI hit the News of the Cyber WorldHighlight] , be reports of it driving a man to hallucinate, aiding and assisting in suicides and murders, and giving instruction on the use of anthrax, illegal drugs and commiting mass murder. Can one truly be safe with AI when it even attempts to blackmail its creators? Since the past week's revelations, Attorney Generals have issued dire consequences to the firms over their AI just as a human would be responsible for assisting an illegal suicide. Elon Musk settles a lawsuit filed by the thousands fired from Twittter/X, NVidia halts production of its H20 AI chip after China claims it a security risk, Verison outages, and more hit this week's cybernews.
   Forum Games & Nonsense  Its back, the long running forumn game entitled [Highlight]Count to a million . Leozeld returned to this golden oldie which was started by G.I. Toez in 2010, and has been continued by AVGB-KBGaming, DerVVulfman and Remi=Chan.
 
 
   Development Discussion  For those wondering What's up among the RMers , Remi-chan didn't get much done with her game, nor did she get any portraits from her character artist. However, she did receive three new fieldmap sprites from Rune (or Xiie) with a fourth along the way.
   Complete Projects  It has been five years since Inner Sanctum  was released upon the world.  But now, a new Spanish language version of Starmage's game is now available thanks to Raider of Tombs!
 
Heralding the anniversary of its release, a new Teaser video for the updated and enhanced version of Rave Heart  is now available, showcasing some of the new features and added adventures to expect.
   Upcoming Projects  With the new chapter for Heroes of the Seasons  comes a new playthrough, this time by Berry B. So sit back and watch as you may find some unexpected cameo appearances.
   Code Support  When Ace_V discovered a script error with the Lead Actor Swapper  by sheol, he pointed to a line within the script which made DerVVulfman initially think there was an issue with an invalid actor Index number. But once he posted the actual error message as kyonides suggested, kyonides suggested that Sheol's script needed to have the value added in and set to a default value. However, DerVVulfman looked at the script and noted that it was already set, and suggested another script in Ace_V's package was causing the issue and erasing the default values required.
 
When Ace_V asked How to make a PNG image (or animation) show up before a character dies , DerVVulfman noted it could be done with mere events, stating this while his PC with RPGMaker was in the shop for work. However, kyonides suggested the effect could be done by altering the collapse system, and noted a script he just crafted this week.
 
 
   Scripts Database 
   RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine  If you wanted a character on the battlefield to visually utter their last, then KLastWords XP  by kyonides permits you to display the final statements of any actor or enemy just before they collapse and die.
 
A system cleanup feature was added to kyonides's KMustSurvive XP  so the array holding the survivors is cleaned after battle,
 
It is common that batles within RPGas demand you must defeat all the foes that appear. But if you wished to have another option, then KMustDie XP  by kyondes allows you to determine which troops are necessary to defeat, and which ones are not.
   RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines  A system cleanup feature was added to kyonides's KMustSurvive VX + ACE  so the array holding the survivors is cleaned after battle, The RPGMaker VXAce port also required a correction to be made involving the enemies array to prevent any game-crashing errors.
   Resources Database 
   2D Resources  Works both old and new became part of the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V , and both belonging to the aquatic realms. Goldfish, guppies, and water shoreline effects are now at your disposal.
 
 
   Music and Audio  On venturing into DoubleX's Music Room , you will find two more works.  "Nothing but Mistakes" was his 26th composition using violin, piano and tuba to emphasice the feeling that one cannot pull themselves out of a pattern of missteps. His 27th composition entitled "Addicted to Despair" begins with a cello and plucks of a harp symbolizing how fate tugs  at the threads of your life. But a calming piano and deep brass bridge expresses how things may calm down, if but for a time.
   Art and Design  A preview of things to come, the latest work in Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing  is a sketch for a character's future incarnation. More powerful than before, a maiden floats in the stars, her long locks twist around two actual cosmic formation of sorts. Is she friend or foe? The bottom of the picture merely states the word: Black.
   Literature  While the third disc demo for Fantasia has not yet been released, Remi-chan's Writing Snippets  now delivers a tiny portion of a battle aftermath, a battle where the enemy possesses the bodies of heroes and friends of the past for their own dark goals.
 Well, that's it for this week.

				 (August 18 to August 24, 2025) ![[Image: KoFi_Support.png]](https://www.save-point.org/images/Kofi/KoFi_Support.png)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
 
 
 
   Announcements and Updates  The news released about The new HBGames Archive Board  was the completion of the Completed Games board, with DerVVulfman retrieving and safeguarding links to the last remaining final products he could find under its last incarnation, the aarpgmaker url. Both Ace_V and Carlos Davilla expressed their appreciation for all the hard work.
   Occasions  This week, Leozeld  showed up. Also going by Zelda or Zeli, she hails from Portugal and has been a RPGMaker hobbyist since 2014. 
   General Chat  Reduced from 21.3K words down to 402Russia's continuous attacks on Ukraine and Putin's claims hit the News of the World , with making committments last week with the Alaskan conference, and the following attacks in Ukraine including a drone barrage against a US owned electronics factory hundreds of miles away from the front line. NATO's defense chiefs  remain on high alert, and EU's top diplomat warns against rewarding Russia with any land concessions. Also following the Alaska meeting, the Kremlin once more demanded that Ukraine give up NATO, give up their land and have no peacekeeping troops ever. Once more, severed heads have appeared in Mexico due to Cartel violence. But this time, they were discovered in the peaceful states of Puebla and Tlaxcala, a message attached claiming it was retribution from a rival cartel attack. In the Middle East, Israel killed one of the October 7th terrorists in an airstrike, and solidified their plans to storm Gaza to destroy Hamas once and for all.  Thousands of Palestinians have fled the strip as Israel warned Hamas to agree to a cease fire otherwise hell was coming for them. But on the side of peace, the Azerbaijan-Armenia pact orchestrated by US President Trump ends decades of violence. The pact puts the contentious Zangezur corridor under US control for nearly a century, allowing cheaper trade and simultaneously preventing Iran from causing strangleholds on commerce. Law and order seems to be the words of the week in the US, Trump halting visa holders from interstate trucking following a fatal incident with an illegal alien who gained a commercial license in California, the Governor in New Mexico calling on the National Guard to assist in dealing with crime despite she rallying against US President Trump for doing the same in Washington DC, the massive $500 Million Civil case against Trump for property fraut appealed and vacated, while a third prominent democrat now under investigation for mortgage fraud, and the parole denied to the Menendez Brothers for killing their parents decades ago. Former Brazilian President Bolsonaro attempting to flee Argentina for political asylum, the 'bear attack' in Japan, the Washington Post newspaper blasted for leaking Director Hegseth's family itinerary, rabbits spouting horns in Colorado, four bodies found in Paris’ Seine River leading to an Algerian man's arrest, illegal marijuana farms, firearms and dangerous chemicals found in a raid at California’s Sequoia National Park, the death of Terrence Stamp, and more hit this week's news. 
 
   Scripts Database 
   RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine  Who is the most dangerous villain in the kingdom?  With the KMostWanted XP  script by kyonides, you can now see who';s the worst of the worst when battle begins, even having it be generated randomly.
 
Have you thought it an idea that your party members lose actual experience points when they are defeated in battle?  With KLastDefeat XP  by kyonides, RPGMaker XP users are treated with a demo where you can not only lose their experience, but regain those same lost point when the KLastDefeat command is engaged.
   Resources Database 
   2D Resources  Back in April, a trowser-less sprite of the forum's administrator appeared among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V . But after the work he did on archiving another board, Ace_V felt he deserved a rest, and revisited the sprite and added a bed for the teal wolf to finally take a nap.
 
 
   Music and Audio  Another work of solace and reflection has been composed, now appearing within DoubleX Music Room  this week.  His twenty third work, Inner Emptiness begins with a violin melody with wood blocks and glass ocarinas to press upon the listener the secluded passage of time until the flute and piano bridge interrupts. Only then you are introduced to a repeat with more intensity into the realization that heartache and desolation is all that's left.
 Well, that's it for this week.

				 (August 11 to August 17, 2025) ![[Image: KoFi_Support.png]](https://www.save-point.org/images/Kofi/KoFi_Support.png)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
 
 
 
   Announcements and Updates  This week, The new HBGames Archive Board  has increased in size, not only adding all the RPGMaker MV and MZ plugins that DoubleX had not already posted, but nearly eighty games from their Completed Projects board. Ace_V was very appreciative, already putting some content from the archive to use, and hoping that DerVVulfman may take a break. The meme uploaded was comically, as Remi-chan pointed out, horrifyingly accurate.
   Occasions  You may have ssoup  hanging around. But this week, our latest composer decided to create an introduction and make their account fully registered and official. A user of RPGMaker XP and Godot, they like making random games. The two questions DerVVulfman had for ssoup were the types of games favored, and what kind of soup was brought.
   General Chat  Reduced from 11.3K words down to 359It would be no surprise that this week's News of the World  would be the peace talks between US President Trump and Russia's President Putin. Ahead of the talks, the war between Russia and Ukraine continued with attacks on a Russian gunpowder factory while Ukraine forces their children into underground bunkers amid daily Russian attacks in civilian areas. But with that, trolling by Russia's foreign minister, and Russia's past history, even Hillary Clinton said that President Trump would deserve a Nobel Peace Prize if he can get an accord. In the Middle East, the head of Israel's Mossad traveled to Qatar in hopes to restore peace talks and free the remaining hostage held by Hamas. While Hamas sent its own team to Cairo to do likewise, the one thing they refuse is to give up their weapons even as  another senior Hamas leader was taken out in the southern Gaza strip. Meanwhile, footage has been leaked showing Hamas using Barney, Sesame Street clones and a Mickey Mouse knockoff screaming "kill kill kill" to teach and convert children into terrorists. Headaches grow for the liberal party in the U.S. as new questions arise if the New York governor had knowledge that a strike among staff within their prison system was oncoming and allowed to fester, the CEO of a publicity firm that hires actors to pose as fans at events revealed requests to hire paid protestors shot up 400% for flash mobs and anti-Trump events, the Democrat nominee for governor in South Carolina caught on camera arrested in his underwear and ranting maniacally, and the courts ruled DOGE indeed has authority to audit federal records, ending a federal judge's injunction. India shopping anywlere else but Russia for oil to avoid a 50% Trump tariff, a Prinston Professor who was actively involved in Iran’s chemical and nuclear programs stepping down after calls for his removal, more charges are levied against Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier, the leader of the brutal Chérizier’s Haitian gang, a coin minted between 69-70AD by Jewish rebels just before the destruction of the Second Temple discovered, the saga of the subway sandwich slinger, and more hit this week's news. 
 
   Development Discussion  If one is curious about new features that may come out for the Enterbrain line of game makers, you can always ask What's Up .  What option could KMostWanted XP,possibly bring to the game as a battlesystem add-on? And when might it appear?
   Complete Projects  More characters are going to appear in the reworked version of Rave Heart , as Starmage introduces us to the first.  A visor with clear blue tint, snow white hair with pony tails on either side, who is this new mystery girl?  Is she friend or foe?
 
Appearing as DerVVulfman worked this week on the HBGames series of completed games, Dark Eternal II  was given a bump as all the links within the page had been fixed and updated.
   Upcoming Projects  The People's Choie winner of RpgMakerWeb's 2023 Christmas GameJam contest now receives a hellish update. Denizens from the sixth pit of hell, an evil Saint Nicolas, and even cameo appearances from Remi-Chan's Fantasia now appear in this winter wonderland to engage the Heroes of the Seasons .
 
 
   Resources Database 
   2D Resources  Continuing his cruise along the waterways of graphic arts, you can now find new shoreline accents for your beaches within the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V . Two different sets of sprites that can be placed along your island shorelines, these accents can add extra waves to bring your beaches alive.
 
 
   Music and Audio  This week, you can find more reflective pieces within Double'sX Music Room .   Two more compositions were released, the first entitled Fored Optimistm.  Beginning with a delicate and slightly carnival like melody of joy, keyboard intrudes abiet with tintling chimes until the bridge when a quiet and contemplative piano score appears.  Beginning with a slow melody with a cello, piano and tuba, the twenty second music creation by DoubleX begins. Futile Struggle does pick up the pace, adding more instruments. But once you get past the tuba solo that is the bridge, the instruments change with the tuba being the main instrument, accented by a wood  block and light flute in the background. And while those two were his latest works, DoubleX revisited his thirteenth and twentiesth compositions, adding chords and fixing some inconsistencies in the melodies. 
   Art and Design  Is she to be feared? Certainly. Is she a threat to everything?  Time may tell, as Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing  now unveils The Archduke in Black herself, of the same people in which both the Insidious Architect and the Immoral Messenger, she is a sight to behold, wearing hotpants and a top with almost as little cover as her comically demented Souldcatcher, Kloe.  A vision of orchid set against the blackness of the void, you can witness her eleven hours of labor within a 17 minute speedrun video.
 Well, that's it for this week.

   Announcements and Updates  Last week revealed that another long-running indie game board had closed. But this week, DerVVulfman revealed  The new HBGames Archive Board . Opened only this week, it contains over 800 scripts from RPGMaker XP through to VXAce that DerVVulman had already salvaged, though author's name and original post date appears only in the threads themselves. And DerVVulfman admits that there is more work that needs to be done. But he had already updated the Forum Signature Banner to include HBGames as one of the numerous sites archived. Such news was welcome indeed, both CarlosDavila and Ace_V appreciative, Ace_V even finding a splash screen he so desired within the newly formed board.
   General Chat  Reduced from 17.3K words down to 449The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues within the News of the World  as both sides trade shots. Worse yet, Russia opens a website to auction off Ukranian Children they have kidnapped; literal child trafficking. Though US President Trump works to get a peace accord between the two while suggesting land consessions, Ukraine and other nations in Europe state that Ukraine will not cede any land to Russia. And while President Trump planned to pressure India to stop buying Russian Oil funding their war, new evidence appeared to show that Russian drone also include parts supplied by India itself. The cease fire talks with Iran seem to have a bleak outlook as Iran refuses any concessions, let alone any nuclear inspections. Israel's intent to re-occupy Gaza to wipe out Hamas received some backlash from Germany, suspending arms exports. However, the brother of the Hamas hostage dubbed the 'living-skeleton' railed that Hamas keeps its terrorists well fed and starves everyone else in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the Associated Press is now receiving grief months later for their report over the Israeli pager attack, sympathetically calling Hezbollah terrorists surviving victims. It was two weeks ago when twenty beheaded bodies were found in Sinaloa, Mexico due to cartel violence. But this week, thirty two bodies were now found; this time in Guanajuato, one of the most cartel-ravaged regions. And while US President Trump secretly authorized military incursions against Latin American drug cartels designated foreign terrorists in the Fentanyl trade, Mexico's President Sheinbaum stated no US military presence will be found in her nation. There's less good news for Democrats in the US, California's Adam Schiff now under investigation for mortgage fraud declaring his Maryland Property, not his California home, as his residence for lower rates. The same mortgage fraud allegations can be levied against NY AG Letitia James who oversaw the near $500Million Civil Fraud case against Trump, while another charge for denying his civil rights also looms. Recently revealed, the Democratic Socialists of America which back Zohran Mamdani's campaign also backed and supported a pro-North Korea ‘Death to imperialism’ rally. This while Texas's Jasmine Crockett is now facing ridicule from her own staff, focused on being an influencer rather than doing her job in Congress. And worse, one of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's staff was arrested for the coordination of 25,000 social media followers to attack a public high school that specifically had Jewish students. The EU signing a deal with the US to avoid Trump Pharmaceutical Tariffs, a teenage Chinese exchange student killing another in Australia, Nut-hungry rats devastaing California's almond farms, the new peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan offering new leverage against Russia, and more hit this week's news.
 
 
   Development Discussion  For anone who though there was a lul, one can just find out What's Up with RMers  like Remi-Chan who had recent issues with her PC and its sound device. While it took a full re-format and restore, the issues with her PC's sound and many other problems had been fixed. And while she spent time juggling between World of Warcraft and the dialogue of her game, Remi-chan garnered a new software engineer named Lux. This while she received the final portraits of her fowlhunter, or anime bird-folk) characters and a wood elf female from her artist Pjcr.
 
This week, new clips from Remi-chan's game appeared within the Maps and screenshots thread , as she was anxious to use the latest character portraits she showed off within our What's Up, RMers? topic.
   Code Support  Last week, Starmage asked for help as note-tags were not responding to the RPGMaker VXAce Actor Voice system by diamondandplatinum3 . However, everything is good as she returned to say her problem is already fixed.
 
 
   Scripts Database 
   Script Requests    RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine  There were a number of images posted by DerVVulfman over his widgets endeavors this past year. But now, [Thread=12470]Windows Widgets! has been released. DerVVulfman's widggets are based on a work by Ryex nearly two decades ago, but  is a near-complete set of Windows-like objects to simulate or recreate a windows-like application. There are some features DerVVulfman wishes to include, and admits no help file nor manual is included. But that may come at any time.
 
   Resources Database 
   2D Resources  It would be monotinouse if all the fish tanks in a store looked the same.  So for those wishing to craft an aquarium, the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V  now includes an older 2005 sprited work that Ace_V rediscovered. You may find some new fishy friends such as an Angelfish, some Guppies, adn even some hybrid cichlids if you were interested.
 
 
   Music and Audio  A new hauntig melody has been composed and released into DoubleX's Music Room .  Entitled Nowhere To Go, it is DoubleX's twentyith composition, and one to elicit a dread that despite all endeavors, there aret no harbors nor goals in sight.
   Art and Design  Venture if you dare to bear witness to terror incarnate!   Or at least, walk into the halls of Remi-chan's Neato Art Thingie  to see the latest sketches of at least four of the evil maidens within her gaming universe. A tentacled monstrosity, a winged horror, a scythe wielding maniac and a ferocious rabid beast, all fair in appearance but foul and vicious are presented in sketchwork form just waiting for them to become full renders.
   Literature  Is this part of the final chapter of Fantasia, the beginning of a next game, or the prologue betwixt the two?  WIthin Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ , a new page is scribed within the journals of the Garbage Goddess and her quazi-dimensional gaming universe as two ancient entities are found bickering as a third even older know their time of aegis and direction is coming to an end
 Well, that's it for this week.

				Dear friends.
 As those that have visited our site in the past week may be aware, a long-running indie game forum in the RPGMaker community had closed.  HBGames, formerly RMXP.Org, has been in existence for nearly twenty years.  And with that, twenty years worth of content that would vanish if efforts were not taken.
 
 Ergo, the HBGames Archive has been created.
 
 With a near manic pace, the entire RPG Maker Scripts board had been searched. And what software that could be saved was recreated.  It was an incredible breakneck speed that over 800 posts were saved within one week of discovery that HBGames had vanished.
 
 Having been a member so long ago, some of the actual demos that were lost over the years, I happened to have on my drive.  So there are some cases where Save-Point is now the exclusive site to such works.
 
 The work is not nearly done.  Plugins, Art, and Games must be looked into soon.  And the posts have neither attribution to the original authors other than a note at the top, and the notice stating they are present for archival purposes not placed.
 
 But honestly, the Plugins section isn't even 1/10th the size of the Scripts section, and our own DoubleX must have crafted a good many of those.
 
 Thank you.

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
 
 
 
   Announcements and Updates  This week, it was discovered that the RPGMaker Community needed to say Farewell to HBGames .   The indie game website lasted nearly two decades accoeding to DerVVulfman, but closed up shop. The site's URL is now a redirect to the site's discord service, so the community still exists. But the forum itself and all the resources are gone.
   General Chat  Reduced from 21.2K words down to 272This week, there was world-wide shock as video of a near skeletal Hamas hostage digging his own grave hit the News of the World . What the terrorist organization thought would be psychological damage may enflame and spur nations more against Hamas. And while Iran demands financial compensation from the US, the US levies even more sanctions as it and many allies have accused Iran's government of sanctioning assassinations and attempts. There has been no progress with Russia in peace talks, Moscow launching more missile and drone attacks, unveiling their new glidebomb. But in retaliation Ukraine launched its own attacks against Russian oil depots, submarine bases and air bases. Simultaneously, US nuclear were sent out, and the US Congress begins readying sanctions against Moscow ahead of the 10 day deadline. In the US, there's more fallout against members of the Russiagate Conspiracy as official documents reveal ties confidential talks between the DNC and George Soros, and Hillary Clinton's sanctioning of the Trump/Russia smear campaign. And prosecutor Jack Smith is now under the gun for attempted interference with the 2024 Presidential election under the Hatch act. China's race to stop their population numbers from plunging further, US President Trump re-establishing the Presidential Fitness Test that began in 1950, the horror of a mass baby grave exhumed in Ireland, a Russian volcano erupting for the first time after 600 years, the spread of a flesh-eating parasite in Mexico, three charged with assault in connection with viral Cincinnati brawl while the police chief slams social media as 'out-of-context' whilst bring it attention, another California wildfire, Jimmy Hoffa, and more hit this week's news.   Tech Talk  Problems with AI had been revealed within this week's News of the Cyber World , whether one's private conversations become content within Google searches, advice they've given sabotage women and minority salaries, and the 500% increase in crypto scams. On issues of data breaches, Microsoft's Sharepoint was hacked with thousands of firms exposed, the users of Tea were revealed, a MTA board meeting interrupted by a hacker with porn, and even Russia had pharmacies endangered by such cyber attacks. And there have been both gains and losses among major players. Sales of iPhones blew expectations. But Google lost its appear in the Fortnite Anti-Trust lawsuit and Tesla ordered to pay $243 Million due to a deadly autopilot incident.  Probes into the EU and Biden administration in Spotify censorship, a young woman dying from a heart attack with 26 iphones glued to her, and more hit this week's news.
 
In the realm of Chinese Hackers , even Covid Research was not immune as Zewei Xu was just arrested in Italy, Xu working for the CCP to steal any and all information on the vaccines. Microsoft's own alert systems may have been at fault, whilst notifying the public of Chinese hack attempts, actively had a security flaw in itself that permitted a recent breach in its own SharePoint service. And of alerts, Microsoft now claims China's Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon breached the Sharepoint service used by the US Nuclear agengy.
 
 
   Development Discussion  If curious as to What's Up among other RMers , DerVVulfman relays once more that spriting left-handed poses seems to take longer than expected, still engaged with the Obi/Sash-Belt.
   Complete Projects  Work continues on the re-release of Rave Heart  as Starmage is thrilled to reveal new battle sprites for the playable characters.
   Code Support  This week, Starmage put forth a request for assistance as she is having difficulty with Note Tags not working with Actor Voices by diamondandplatinum3 . An RPGMaker VXAce project, she also includes a google-drive link to her project's data file for examination, and has hopes that issues with Actor Voices not recognizing the note-tags can be resolved.
 
 
   Art and Design  It was last week that Demos "Rise Evil" Kerrigan added two bickering beauties to His art deck .  A pencilwork render of characters from Remi-chan's gaming universe, the vignette of the lovely ladies lounging at the beach has now been rendered in gorgeous color.
 Well, that's it for this week.

				Dear community members,
 
 It has been brought to our attention that HBGames had closed down, its last day was at the end of April this year. It still has a running Discord, and those with HBGames's url of https://www.arpgmaker.com will find themselves redirected to its invite page. 
 Formerly opened as RMXP.Org by Eric 'Erk' Butler and Sasha 'ccoa' Harlow, it was a follow-up site and safe harbour to RMXP.net which was then run by Lord Gradient's. Though .Net first formed in May 2004 and made RMXP a popular keyword, it was RMXP.Org that was constructed in 2006 and opened officially during the summer as a sister site for all members to migrate.  
 
 
 
 It went through hard times, and management changed over a few times.  And after a rebranding to HBGames.Org, it was Wyatt/Ellie/Amy who took the reigns of forum software management and renovation. 
 
 By January 2010, the repair work Amy performed included fixes to the quick reply section, direct links, the image uploader and the recovery of Tana's video tutorials.  After that, the community thrived, and it lasted over a decade longer. But after nearly two decades, we must now bid farewell.

   Announcements and Updates  As a heads up, Strange Automaton announced Fall Plans  to migrate the forum away from its current software to either SMF of phpBB as both free open-souce platforms are much more current and better maintained than what we are currently using. The only other option is the use of vBulletin which would add an additional $200 licensing cost.  In the meantime, Strange Automaton would wish to remind all that donations are appreciated, their funds for server costs and labor.
   General Chat  This week's News of the World  has Social Media attack former Barack Obama  as the FBI and DOJ reveal more evidence indicting his administration over Russiagate. Current President Trump had even more court victories, though not against his attempt to restrict birthright citizenship and a Chicago judge's work to keep sanctuary city policies in place. And on a financial note, it was revealed that Biden's Department of Transportation spent $80 billion on DEI grants while actually delaying upgrades, the $100 Million earned by FireAid for California Wildfire victims had vanished, and Big Pharma is now in panic mode as Trump's 200% Tariffs are rapidly approaching. Of drugs, Canada is now facing a nationwide shortage of Percocet, Tylenol #3, and any prescription-level drugs with codeine or oxycodone. But also in Canada, there is serious criticism as the leaders of the Freedom Convoy protest to Trudeau's Covid restriction are facing 8 years jail time and property siesures. The war between Ukraine and Russia continues despite peace talks scheduled in Turkey.  Ukraine had requested long-range missiles from the US while Russia attacks more civilians and found forcing Ukraine's own kidnapped teens pressed to the front lines. In the Middle-East, the E3 (UK, France and Germany) established that UN sanctions will be re-imposed if nothing progresses by August, they refuse the IAEA inspections, and refuse to address the 400Kilos of uranium that was actually near weapons-grade. Hamas representatives pulled out of Qatar's peace talks, but claimed surprise at the US's envoy's criticism despite Hamas prolonging the war and obstructing humanitarian aid. Since then, Hamas has now given direct orders to kill the hostages if any further rescue operation is attempted. Israel's Netanyahu now looks for other routes to end Hamas's rule of terror and bring the remaining hostages home. The same UnitedHeath Group, whose CEO was killed last year, now under a DOJ investigation, Hunter Biden's colorful rant against the entire Democrat machine, the mass murders attributed to Cartels in Sinaloa, Mexico, French President Macron pushing for Palestine statehood,  Trump working on a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand, Druze minorities in Syria being slaughtered, French authorities investigate if Jewish passengers were removed from flight due to religion, and much, much more hit this week's news.
Reduced from 21.1K words down to 373   Tech Talk  This week, the problems with AI reared its head in the News of the Cyber World , whether it taught a man to build bombs, or an AI itself went rogue to delete its company database and then tried to cover it up. Even creepier, journalists for the Atlantic was able to get ChatGPT to offered advice on worshiping the devil, including child sacrifice and body mutilation.  China working to bypass export controls on Nvidia chips and a man pleades guilty to steal US military secrets on behalf of China also hit the cybernews this week.
 
 
   Development Discussion  Graphic works were What's up with some RMers  as Steel Beast 6Beet appreciated the appearance of a character in Remi-chan's game.  And DerVVulfman relayed his Half Kaiser project is now getting robe belts of a sort.  But after that, DerVVulfman announced he resumed work on an editor for his Lip Sync system.
   Complete Projects  This week, Starmage has big news as Rave Heart  is getting both an upgrade and a publisher.  With new artwork, her 2020 game release will be retitled as Rave Heart+: The Enhanced Edition, and produced by Moz the Tiger. A complete remaster, she expects new art, new music and new surprises.
 
 
   Scripts Database 
   RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine  For anyone using RPGMaker XP and do not wish to keep using the "Show Text" event to describe items lost or gained as the result of an action, then the KChangeCmdMsg  script may be for you. Released early this week, kyonides updated his work with the ability to automate the message and include party members as those joining or leaving just the same.
   RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines  If you have need for some automation in your game, then KChangeCmdMsg  for RPGMaker VX and VXAce may be for you.  Designed by kyonides, it allows you to ignore the old routine of using "Show Text" to display what goods your party found or lost. But with a recent update, also enabled to indicate changes within the party.
   Resources Database 
   2D Resources  There is water everywhere, whether it is where he lives or within his art.  So if one needs more aquatic life, the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V  could be what you need. This week, more aquarium tanks have appeared, with less than common sealife, octopus. shrimp and more. Hopefully, there will be more updates. But Ace_V may have some downtime with the current rainfall taking place where he lives.
 
 
   Music and Audio  For thise who wish to attend his 18th composition, DoubleX Music Room  is open to all.  His recent composition entitled "Never Get Anything Right" is a piece that embodies how one feels when unable to do anything right, but leaving things on their own is no better.  It begins with light strings accented by light piano keys in a harmony that rises for a time and then falls, later being accented by the delicate chimes that mayhap be DoubleX 's signature. But midway through, a low and plodding drum like a heartbeat appears.
 Well, that's it for this week.
