If you haven't seen much being posted by DerVVulfman apart from forum duties, he released a Notification of the Arduous Work he has been doing, archiving resources from lost sites, working upon a backup forum database, and forum security.

A veteran who has been in the game development community since the days of RPGRevolution, Kaz, has now appeared. While not actively using any game maker, he still enjoys the community experience. He was greeted by DerVVulfman who challenged to determine whom was the elder present, Holder who waved, and Remi-chan who presented to our new member a render of her old Bizarre Monkey avatar for a touch of nostalgia.

In world events, the four-day cease fire between Israel and Hamas would be the News of the World, one marked by Hamas violating the pause merely 15 minutes in. Still, the release went forward. But before the cease-fire, the IDF and UN evacuated babies from the Shifa Hospital to Egypt, and then uncovered a rocket factory built underneath a mosque. Iran is stepping up its rhetoric, this while the Jewish U.S. Ambassador's home is vandalized, a synagogue in Armenia set ablaze, and a manhunt is underway Iran backed terrorists sneaking into Britain. The victory of Javier Milei in Argentina had caused an upset in many socialist countries in Latin America. And China threatened Milei not to cut economic ties. But the 53 year old economist plans to do just that and deal with 'civilized' nations and stay away from the communist regime and its allies. Election integrity with voting machines in the U.S. hit the news this week as Pennsylvania machines are glitching, and a Federal Judge found Georgia machines with faulty security measures. Though Ukraine said it was hit by the largest drone strike ever this week, Russian troops under Lt Colonel Zladko made claim they are receiving suicide missions to cover up his blunders. And insofar as resources, the ammunition Russia acquired from North Korea had proven proves fatal as gun barrels and turrets have been damaged or blown. Troops punished by Biden's Vaccine Mandate suing for Billions in lost ages, daycare workers busted for running a Child Fight-Club ring, border security in Germany, the U.S, UK, the vehicle explosion on the Rainbow Bridge, and more hit this week's news.

North Koreans providing false credentials to steal western jobs, Elon Musk's lawsuit against MediaMatters for manufacturing false content, the CEO of OpenAi returning and more hit this week's cybernews.

Remastering of current works is apparent if you wanted to ask your fellow RMers, What's up? Remi-chan touched up some event code to prevent accidental battle damage from being inflicted during cutscenes and replaced a colorful backdrop within her outerspace adventure. KasperKalamity acquired RPGMaker MV, and as the weather chills, he began revising some of his maps. AVGB-KBGaming just acquire RPGMaker MZ which increased the number of available layers to four, something that surprised KasperKalamity. But not disappointed, he is enjoying some of his new editor's features.

This week, KasperKalamity made An annoucement that his game, Arbor's Eve, is now being designed with RPGMaker VX as its engine. He found that the mapping suited his tasts, though was curious if tutorials or help was available. Remi-chan suggested that the editor is much like the older systems, recommended reading the help file, and noted that she may be found oft in Discord.

If a science fiction story with a rich collection of characters amidst a backdrop of alien worlds, Rave Heart is almost half-price at Steam. Starmage wished to announce that as of now that a Steam Autumn Sale is ongoing.

Working to safeguard RPGMaker resources from being lost, DerVVulfman archived D・Ｍ's Resources from a Geosites page that vanished in 2019. The website contained resources from RPGMaker 2000/2003 through to RPGMaker VX, the tilesets of a more modern or futuristic nature. Though the RPGMaker VX Characterset collection includes VX converted versions of both RPGMaker XP and 2003 heroes and villains.

A new thread within our Creativity section, we now have access to Remi-chan's Cinematic Theatre. A separate topic, here Remi-chan can spotlight all her animation works, beginning with her endeavor for 100 subscribers and her self-designed autobiography. It was followed by select cutsccenes from her more recognized games, and ending with a collection of trailers.

Because of issues and discussions that have gone on within the forum, and demands placed within other sites, there are now Requirements for Generated A.I. Content. DerVVulfman laid out a case why any AI-Generated works now need to be labeled from the date posted then on, and upon differences between the Creativity boards and others.

This January, kyonides inquired whether the rise of AI art would necessitate the need for the forum's rules to be updated. Some recently made suggestions that banning AI art being banned is commercially diriven, suggesting that one shouldn't entertain the thought of artists not being compensated, and saw no difference between using copyrighted art or mimicking an artist's style. Others however noted that companies would obviously wish to protect their interests, and how legal issues of AI generations have arisen. DerVVulfman locked the thread noting court rulings against AI art over copyright issues, criminal cases involving AI-based deepfakes, and how other services having made rules requiring the separation of AI generated content from all other.

As the Israel/Hamas war dominates the News of the World, proof of warcrimes are revealed as the Hamas HQ was found within a Children's Hospital replete with weapons and evidence of hostages. Violence ensued on the streets, Pro-Hamas denostrators shutting down the DNC in California, only before a previous mob clashing with the police just before. And German Police did simultaneous raids on properties suspected of supporting Hezbollah.

Regarding illegal migrations, Finland places full blame upon Russia for its weaponization. For public relations, Paris clears the streets of camps for the Olympics while San Francisco streets are cleared to welcome China's President Xi, though a Czech news crew was robbed at gunpoint in San Francisco at the time. Meanwhile, Mexican President AMLO Praises Biden's choice to reinstate the Catch and Release policy which was implmented by Obama employees while known to be a failing policy. And of Failing policies, Boston Democrats wish to give foreign nationals the right to vote despite the law, and Illegal Aliens are now fleeing Sanctuary Cities as they admit they thought The process for legal status would be quick. Not good news for Democrats this week as Stacey Abrams's non Profit is now being investigated for financial corruption. A criminal referral was sent charging Michael Cohen for lying to Congress in 2019. And Loudoun County Voters fire Buba Biberaj, the prosecutor who charged the father of a rape victim of violent conduct when a school district conspired to conceal the rape. For U.S. President Biden's son, his tax probe appears to be quite active in California, this while attempting to sue Former President Trump and Bill Bar for losing the sweetheart plea deal over his firearm charge.

For Elon Musk, it has been an especially bad week of News of the Cyber World, whether it be his antisemetic comments that drew boycots from most of Hollywood or suspension of advertisements from IBM and other sources. Then there's the issue with another Space-X rocket exploding and the Cybertruck controversy. There wasn't much good news for Google this week, now revealed they spent over $8 Billion to secure their monopoly with Samsung during their anti-trust lawsuit, and news that Google Maps left hikers in Canada stranded. Yet, not everything is at fault as a Tokyo doctor wants to sue Google because they won't remove his bad reviews. Job loss is a booming industry with AI as Amazon slashed hundreds more jobs. And even the CEO and co-developer of OpenAi got fired for lying to the company board. The dangers of Senator Durbin's Data Protection bill revealed, nearly half of Australia's ports shut down by cyberattacks, the Roblox lawsuit over child endangerment and online predators, and so much more hit this week's cybernews.

For those who want a chuckle, then you may wish to read about The Great Kender Crusade. Once more did DerVVullfman find an entertaining tale of Pen-and-Paper RPG campaigns, this one reveals the chaos unleashed when the game runner brings in a friend who wreaks a bit of havok with the rest of the players.

For those wondering What's Up among our forum's RMers, Charlie Fleed renewed the domain once more. Our sponsor who made Hartacon has moved from traditional RPGs towards tactical games such as X-Com, providing his Twitter/X channel. He also wondered if anyone was involved in Unity game development and would be interested in a collaboration. Insofar as work outside of Unity, Remi-chan continued the work upon her game, Fantasia. Videos of clashes against a Child of Clamity or the aspect of power herself have been reposted.

Months ago, zlsl put forth a request to combine ATES with Ryex's Dynamic, the issue being that the dynamic map system disabled the audio from the weather effects script. So busy he was with his schedule, he has been unable to do much in game development. After all this time, he found a minor bug which he cannot solve, one that breaks the weather audio when switching from one map to another.

One more discussion on Ruby Scripting revealed how improper it is to define a method within another method, methods being a collection of executable statements and are not structures such as Class or Module objects which may. For this, he presented sample code which illustrates issues with executing methods, it even depicting how stacked methods incorrectly defined are actually considered part of the class and not part of a method it is within.

Kyonides' OtherLayers which lets users employ static pictures as map upper layers went through an upgrade, now allowing such images to function as lower-layer graphics.

Admittedly, PlayMusik is but a simple jukebox system for your Ruby-Based RPGMaker games. Originally just for VXAce, kyonides later backported his script for the other two engines.

The MenuDisabler by kyonides lets the users individually disable Skill, Equipment and like options in RPGMaker VX and VXAce engines when the need arises.

The Battle Item Count VX system by kyonides allows one to update or limit the number of items brought into battle, or remove them during combat.

Developing a game doesn't just require sprites and artwork; it requires ambience and music to make the player more engaged. So it is a good thing that Eric Matyas continues to Share His Original Music, though he has higher quality audio packs for nominal fees. Still, he crafted some urban works such as "QUIRKY CHARACTERS ON MY BLOCK", and for those on a journey to the mid-80s, the "CYBER TRAIN JOURNEY" can take you away with its early techno feel. And the low thrumming nature of the "DISCO COPS FROM THE FUTURE" may be just what you need for a dystopic future world.

No, you are not seeing double. You are indeed seeing two renders within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! of the same hero from Fantasia: Surreal Cosmic Projeny. As one of the characters planned to appear within Remi-chan's scheduled sequel, Lilac Graves undergoes a cosmetic makeover in both wardrobe and weapon skills that barely relect the power she will wield.
