(August 10 to August 16, 2026)

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

Occasions

Sunday was the day, the last day of the 2026 Game Jam. AVGB-KBGaming reported that her game was to be uploaded while MetalRenard sought to know if any other entries were pending.

Today we bid farewell to Remi-Chan who left in protest over members using AI to generate personal content, and that her demand the forum outright ban any AI content was not obeyed. She deleted creativity content and her threads pulled. She stated the forum will die as a result of AI users despite the forum does have specific rules.

Games Development

Development Discussion

Is that a giant mech? That's something you don't see every day in a war torn desert town. At least, that might be something to ask if you were inquiring What's up? to Ace_V and his current game. But DerVVulfman felt the mech needed some artistic work to prevent clashing styles.

Complete Projects

At times, fan games will receive fan art. But with Rave Heart+ (RELEASED), such works are on a whole 'nother level. A commissionn by BerryB, the appearance of Count Vorakia by by amanouti, a nobel warrior of a dragonkind race weilding a bladed polearm is a feast for the eyes.

A minor update was made to Arden Inc, the result of a missing file reported. But the file missing was for content that appeared upon finishing the trials forced upon you by the pig of a boss.

Upcoming Projects

To his surprise, DerVVulfman discovered that Faetal Night could not be played by users of Windows 11. An issue with HiddenChest he did npt forsee as kyonides is a user of Windows 11, DerVVulfman had to re-release it with the RPGMaker XP engine.

There are many fans of BlueSkies 3 by Starmage. And with that, plenty of works comemorating her game have appeared. One that made its appearance this week was a line-art sketch of Count Sagan and his demonic half-skull mask by Inazuma the lightning. But not long after, one of Blue Skies 3's own creatives appeared thanks to a commission by BerryB. And with that, Candace can be seen against the night sky, illuminated in shades of azure and heliotrope by a glowing gem floating above her hands.

In a realm plagued with Fantasy RPGs comes a game that looks at the last three letters and says "SCREW THAT!" Fæ Fantasy; A... is a game by AVGB-KBGaming that harkens back to the side scrolling battle games from the 90s. Perform saber slashes, or strike from above with a leaping kick. Though no download or screenshots are available, it appears that our Anarchist Femme Gamer is re-envisioned games like Bad Dudes or Double Dragon in Fae Fashion.

General Support

Some weeks ago, Rose Guardian had issues with RPG Maker MZ not deploying games when the exclude unused files option is checked, and DerVVulfman suggested a tool while stating it was an issue that has existed with RPGMaker MV as well. However, Coyotecraft noted he had similar issues and stated that the issue could also be based on the filename length, stating there is an unspoken character length to the filename and paths that could be read. And it could be the source for the file-not-found issue encountered.

Material Development

Scripts Database

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

Roughly two decades ago, a Japanese scripter known as Claihm created a battle script that required the player to press a combination of keys when it is time for their spells to be cast lest their power be cut in twain. Indeed, he made a script where the Konami Code "Up Up Down Down Left RIght Left RIght" could be a requirement to cast a fireball. But it was not enough for DerVVulfman, and after much consideration was released Tactical Input Attacks. Unlike the original, one could assign such key code requirements to weapon attacks. And along with that, DerVVulfman stated theat most anything that was hard-coded was now within the already existing configuration module, and performed a repair or two.

Resources Database

2D Resources

As communities thrive, the individuals within may find security and comfort on one shape or another. So to does this basic philosophy extend to those Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V he has recently created. And this week, his desert dwelling characters now have a member of wealth, garbed in robes of Sapphire and Crimson, and a turban with a central ruby in their midst. Is he a Sultan or Emir? Its he a rich merchant who trades in silks from the east? This depends on how he would fit your game. Ace_V later made a statement that it is forbidden for AI services from scraping what is his content. Sadly, DerVVulfman pointed out that AI scraper botss would just barrel through sites and would copy it anyway.

Creativity Section

Art and Design

There was a shadow over the city, a shadow that spread across the Pacific. A femme fatale of the fae fashion left for the shores of Hawaii, and only then did a murder take place that began Kayzee's Ordeal. An illustraded story produced with Gemini AI by kyonides with Kayzee The Fairy as a central figure and suspect of a murder investigation. Do you trust your eyes when you see the actions of the blonde sylph in green within the full color pages?

Well, that's it for this week.
