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

After weeks of work, DerVVulfman finished what may be the first phae of his RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor. This week, he finished downloading all the threads containing text and links to the completed games in the board. And with that being the last board he had to scour, he finished the first phase while posting links to the topics within our forum.

Occasions

Just a few days ago, the 2026 Game Jam began, and MetalRenard wanted to come in to signal its start. He also wanted to remind everyone that the forum also has a discord channel. Do remember, the Game Jam is on the honor mode in that you are only to spend four days on your entry, and the Game Jam ends Sunday, August 9th.

General Chat

The shock at seeing movies long lines at movie theaters was on the mind of Ace_V, especially when he and his father were stuck having to purchase tickets for "The Odyssey" days in advance. He's never seen it this bad, let alone any long lines since the Star Wars prequels were released.

Development Discussion

If you thought about asking anyone What's Up, Remi-chan decided to take a look at RPG Paper Maker, and surprised herself at its capabilities as a competitor to the RPGMaker line. A small test project allowed her to import her own 2D classic sprite graphics within a pseudo-3D world and allowed her to rotate the camera as she desired. Meanwhile, she fell in love with the recent spritework from her character artist while still waiting for her portrait artist to return.

Complete Projects

As massive as the forum may be, DerVVulfman began working on downloading all of the COMPLETED GAMES FROM RM WEBS and finished by the very end of the week. Not only did it have completed projects, but a board for those games that went commercial.

Code Support

Rose Guardian ran into a severe problem with her current game trying to setup a transformation skill with Visustella plugins and it giving her an error. She not only posted the code of her character transformation code and a shot of the error she's receiving, but she also uploaded a demo from her project for anyone to examine for hopeful insight.

Tutorials

When the week began, DerVVulfman continued his task to archive the RM WEBS TUTORIALS and finished uploading the webpages in zip files within a couple of days.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

For anyone who wants near unlimited space to create their worlds but are upset at the limitations defined in the RPGMaker XP editor itself, DerVVulfman has a solution. With his Map Resizer script, a game developer is able to redefine the size of a map without the use of the map properties window, and exceed the 500x500 tile dimensions. Originally, it came with a simple destructive feature, taking a map and replacing it with one barren but set to the desired size. He returned with an update that is able to save the original contents in the newly reformed map. His script is functional for RPGMaker VX and VXAce as well

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

For anyone who wants near unlimited space to create their worlds but are upset at the limitations defined in the RPGMaker VX and VXAce editor itself, DerVVulfman has a solution. With his Map Resizer script, a game developer is able to redefine the size of a map without the use of the map properties window, and exceed the 500x500 tile dimensions. Originally, it came with a simple destructive feature, taking a map and replacing it with one barren but set to the desired size. He returned with an update that is able to save the original contents in the newly reformed map. His script also works with RPGMaker XP, which he stated was his initial project.

"Dag nabbit! Somethin's gottin into my eyes!" No matter what you think, even caravaners in the desert have to watch out for sand getting everywhere, and the wise woman sprite that recently appeared within the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V knows it. Though appearing last week, Ace_V decided to return and give her some protective eyewear for when she is out checking the surrounding dunes.

Creativity Section

Art and Design

A figure sure of himself, practicing his balance at nighl within woods illuminated under the moonlight. A smile on his face with a ball of hurt in his hand, he is a simian hero who believes more in family than fame. The latest creation added to the museum's art gallery for Remi-chan's Neato Arty thingie is the Master of Kaleidoscopic Keys. And one may wonder if he bestowes kaleidoscopes to those by smacking them upside the head with that massive spiked weapon he brandishes. Another humanoid that took less than seven hours for Remi-Chan, the speed-draw that accompanies lasts but ten minutes.

Literature

Past the carved marble lions and Ionic pillars, one can see the grand Greco-Roman stonework and Mannerist archways of the forum Library. Within the hallowed halls with beautiful dark walnut panels and tiles of subdued green and amber glass, the halls for Remi-chan's Writing Snippets was gifted a new chapter. One may wonder if her inspiration hailed from the 16th century Chinese literature as the Hero of Teratown is a simian hero with a weapons-in-hand. But for Valin, such titles have no worth and the value in those he cared for meant more to him than any riches the he could inherit from a relationship-based whim.

Well, that's it for this week.

Some thoughts towards the End User Licenses of certain game engines was On the mind of DerVVulfman, updating the threads to the games for all he could find. Meanwhile, Remi-chan is having issues with RPGMaker VX no longer working on her PC once more, and switching over to SteamOS and abandoning Windows, the constant message asking her to upgrade to Windows 11 having been a nagging problem. DerVVulfan noted that the Windws 11 upgrade notice stopped showing in the US, and should have stopped showing everywhere else this past April.

Development Discussion

This week, the idea of a new RPGMaker XP editor is What's up with fellow RMers Son_Rukiri. His edition supports Ruby 4.0, an updated tilemap with infinite layer capabilities, and even a tile erasal tool. He admits the system is not near ready, but has tested gameplay. And screenshots include the Scripts Databse that can have sections collapsed and expanded like spoilers. And though she's been taking a break with some Palworld, Remi-Chan announced some breakthroughts with her game, the handling of a game freezing bug that is a systemic problem with RPGMaker MV and MZ, the updating of NWJS libraries which removed annoying delays in some dialogue scenes, and issues with Game Over scenes. Meanwhile, Xiie (or Save-Point's Rune) has bestowed the Unholy Butcher for Remi to use, and Remi-chan's character portrait has her bamboozled for another month.

Since receiving the character spritework for Xeltara, a harpy-like villainess, Remi-chan couldn't resis venturing into the Maps and screenshots thread to show her off in four separate scenes. A darkly lit cavern, the tops of mountain vistas, and even aboard what may be a space vessel of some sort, her wings reach out to soar for her talon-torn victims.

Fan art keeps appearing for Rave Heart+ as BerryB sets his sight on more and more for Starmage. She received one of Chad wielding his massive broadsword with shimmering hues of amethyst glinting off the blade. But Applemango_OC set Chad back in his place with chibi paintworks of her own.

It has been five years since people were treated to a small developing world in 41st Century. But now, Rose Guardian returns to that world with a whole new gaming engine to release Star Knight Remake. Sporting music by MoonWind and Wingless Seraph, journey with a new cast of characters as the college aged heroes try to stop the invasion of their home world.

Tutorials

This week, DerVVulfman continued working on acquiring the TUTORIALS OF RPGMaker WEBS, beginning this week with the upload of all those within the RPGMaker VXAce subforum. Ater that, he returned two more times working upon the upload of those tutorials for RPGMaker MV. Though he is only halfway done with the tutorials for RPGMaker MV, he is nearing the end of the whole Tutorial board.

Scripts Database

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

It wasn't that long ago that KBuild XP hit the library, a script by kyonides that allows a game developer copy sections of a map and paste those tiles elsewhere with precision. However, the latest upgrade now allows one to copy and paste sections by their layer, be it the ground, lower or upper tile layers.

Though initially inspired to look back at his work from a false bug report, kyonides discovered issues with KBribe XP that incorrectly handled enemies being targeted. And following that, he also found that there was an issue with the bribery payment system. Fortunately, he performed a maintenance update to fix both issues.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

For those game developers that worry that their epic battles may be too hard for the player, assistance has come their way with the Battle Swap & Last Resort by Ebanyle. Her script, designed for RPGMaker VXAce, grands the player the ability to change the makeup of the party whilst in battle. Though it may have compatability issues with scripts that may alter the battle system, it seems to work fine with the Theolized Sideview Battlescript and the YEA Battle Engine.

Despite how one lost within the sands of a desert would think they were in naught but a featureless realm bereft of water. However, the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V would prove one wrong. For the silvery blue-haired elder among the desert nomades is she who knows the way. The elder woman that he created for the sand dweller tribes, garbed in protective desert fashion was envisioned as a cartographer, one who knows where every oasis, where every stony outcropping and cave, and where every village lie within tens of miles.

The halls of the forum's museum stayed open once more as the wing dedicated to paintings and murals is a buzz with activity. For yet another piece has been put on display within the gallery for Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! With shaggy cut bob of crimson hair, and eyes a glow in amaranth, she stands before. Clad in garments of charcoal best said to be a promise of rapture. But with leathen wings outstretched and the bones of the hapless at her feet, a warning and threat of impending doom. It has been five years since Remi-chan last put Azaroth to virtual canvas. And fittingly enough, this twelve-hour work was recorded and can have its composition played back with the two-hundredth speed draw.

Literature

Deceit, damnation and duplicity, these are thre words that can be used to describe the latest subject within tha pages of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~. The so-named Tyrant of Babylon uses means malevolent to alter all of humanity so it can succumb to evil and become her feed. But what was she before this spiral into carnage, depravity and loathing?

Well, that's it for this week.

Announcements and Updates

This week, DerVVulfman reported that RMRK is closing. Indeed, they too will be ending their service by the end of the year. He did relay tht he had already begun work on archiving the site as he is with RPGMaker Webs. This news was pretty much a surprise, to members like KDC, Ace_V and Remi-chan.

Another week has passed, and DerVVulfman announced that his RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor is now venturing into the Tutorials forum. In fact, he not only finished grabbing all the resource threads, but had already grabbed all the XP, VX and MZ tutorials.

Occasions

MetalRenard wished to give a friendly reminder that the 2026 Game Jam begins the end of this month. A game jam based on Fae and/or Nature, it should be fun for all.

This week, Ebanyle came by after learning that RPGMaker Webs was closing down. She hadn't logged into Webs or the community at large in few years, but wanted to let everyone know she's still around.

Though having retired from the Game Making scene for a while, Ashborn had an itch and felt like getting back into development, though surprised that RPGMaker Webs was now closing. Ashborn has been in the community for over a decade.

General Chat

Last week, the realization that Microsoft repaired updates which would make life easier was What's on the mind of KDC. Indeed, this week he left Linux and installed Windows 10 which is more compatible with his setup. kyonides was worried it would be a problem for KDC, reminding him of Steam's discontinuance of Windows 10 support, but KDC replied it was related to older 32-bit Windows builds. Meanwhile, DerVVulfman relayed that Komodo Palace still sells non-Steam editions, though he also suggests catching them on sale.

Already released in time for the Beach Pride RPG Maker Jam is Her Heart, Anew 2, a game designed by Starmage and JoTerra854. A prequel over two-hundred years before the events of "Her Heart, Anew", you now see the World of Yven mere decades into the age of Arcane Renaissance, and embark upon an adventure as an elven crusader tasked to rescue a missing lord. A tale of self discovery awaits.

Tutorials

This past week, DerVVulfman began working on acquiring all of the TUTORIALS from RM WEBS, and made significant progress. He is only downloading the first page of each thread within, unless the thread called for multiple pages. However, he had archived all the tutorials within the board's RPGMaker XP, VX and RPGMaker MV subforums.

Material Development

Tools

Major advancements were made to the HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable, with kyondes adding pre-defined default settings if neither the INI fie nor input directory exists. He also added new test conditions so the executable knows whether it has suddenly lost focus as if the player decided to open a new application such as notepad, an instance that would normally leave the game paused. But on top of that, he added new toggle options to the audio module itself, options that could easily work with the new lost focus system to pause audio playback when inactive. There was an incident that required the removal of the first release with these new features, but its was followed by an upgrade edition that added new options to set start and end loop points with OggVorbis tracks for those that want music to begin with an opening flourish and execute a continuous loop without a return to the audio's opening. Do note that RPGMaker XP users have a differently constructed audio module, it being in the main RPG module itself, so some statements are slightly different between the two.

Resources Database

It took some time, but DerVVulfman finished scouring through the RESOURCES OF RM WEBS RESOURCES. After finishing his work on downloading pages from the Engine Specific resources, he turned his gaze to those resources that were meant to be general in design. However, he noted that many were still designed for one maker or another. And towards the end of his archiving, he found more and moer dead links until the last push forward, he found many threads with no salvagable content at all.

2D Resources

The desert is a harsh mistress, for those that come across her must be prepared. And prepared is a soldier that has been added to the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. Clad in khakis d wearing vest armor in camo, a new figure has appeared. With brown crewcut hair, this is a new military figure ready to set himself out among the dunes.

The gallery within the forum's museum might think there was a bit of monkey business going on when she came by with the next piece for display. But there are those that are going ape with the new portrait within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! With wavy locks of marigold, Trixie lives up to her name as someone that is completely unpredictable. And woe for anyone who thinks that marriage settled her down, this simian socializer is a real party animal. But the saying in vino veritas sadly describes her well, for in alcohol her anger is released. To Remi-chan's surprise, this was a work that took less than six hours to create, even with a full body portrai with a normal humanist anatomy. Perhaps it was that this is one of the few works where the subject actually dons footwear. Be that as it may, the Misfortune of Black Friday has a speed draw for any who wishes to see her creation.

Well, that's it for this week.

RMRK is closing

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 01:43:22 +0000

Dear friends,

Another website has joined RPGMakerWebs with closure, and that site is:

They are paid up until the end of the year. However, after that, they will be gone.

Make no mistake, archiving has already begun. And surprisingly it hasn't near as many script or plugin resources as RPGMaker Webs or others. In fact, I can safely state that I have already downloaded viable threads for RPGMaker XP, VXAce and RPGMaker MV scripts.

... Why oh why is there more RPGMaker VX scripts? Well... that's next after my venture into more WEBS archiving. And that followed by its resources and (expectingly) Completed Projects forums.

Someone spiffy came into the forum and remembers the earliest days when the RPGMaker line made its way into the community. Going by yukinon, our newest member harkens back when Don Miguesl translated RPGMaker 2000 and released it to western audiences. Having taken a hiatus for over a decade, yukinon is now a software engineer and RPGMaker MZ is their current gam engine of choice.

Sofrware is What's on the mind of community members this week. Forced into Linux from overly massive windows updates, KDC discovers that Microsoft found it was an issue with the updates themselves and that Microsoft is working upon the repairs. He has other things to also take care of, but is waiting upon Microsoft in this instance. Meanwhile, Remi-chan challenged herself to enter into a game jam contest to prove to herself she could, and then ended the week relaxing to some Palworld with friends.

Breaking away from the norm and thinking outside of the box was soemething that Was up with RMers like kyonides. His latest endeavor is to allow rendered assets on one map be copy-pasted into other maps. His current work has the data saved in outside files, but he is working to streamline the system and have the content stored within savegame files. After that, Remi-chan gave screenshots and video presentations of her game-jam entry, one that was intended to be a quickly made entry but became a more polished work. She also presented more spritework by Xiie, but is very confused as to the silence of her character portrait artist that she hasn't heard from in a long time.

Several pics from Remi-chan's new game made their way into theMaps and screenshots thread, whether they be outdoor shots of a town with a rat infestation, an underground prison carved from stone, or a beachside resort with a slight eating disorder stemming from a scantily clad demoness with an eating disorder.

What does a snooty angel masquerading as a mortal and a down-on-the-luck magic user who just got fired from her last job have in common? The answer is Remi-chan and her recent entry into a Pride-Month Game Jam competiion entitled YEN: Yearning the Eternal Night. Taken from the back-story of Fantasia and the mind of Remi-chan, Yen is a tale of two whom met by accident, one on a mission to find what corrupts a local town while the other whose prays for a better life. Vibrant shades of pink, exotic art, rodents run amok, and more are in this game jam entry.

KDC announced that, while still on Hiatus, work upon Memorie is able to resume after having transferred his system to Linux. He had issues with the Linux edition of Steam due to the his drive formatted in NTFS, and other issues also connected to Linux use on his system. What forced his hand to transfer to Linux was the result of a faulty series of updates by Microsoft, and he has plans to restore his PC back to Windows once the faulty updates have been repaired.

Harken back to the late 80s before the Playstation era and games like Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy were fresh. It is this innocents in gameplay where Knight of Light by Rose Guardian lives. Her tale revolves around a young man who became a knight and blessed with the legendary Spear of Destiny. However, the tale wans that the God of Logic and Order would return to claim the spear and use it against mortalkind that he felt wronged him.

Early this week, Rose Guardian had an issue where RPG Maker MZ won't deploy games when the exclude unused files feature is checked. DerVVulfman, who admits to not having the engine, said he looked into it and found that others had the same issue and that it came down to the feature built into both RPGMaker MV and MZ didn't account for resources used by all plugins and suggested a tool he discovered. While Rose Guardian feels like its not related to plugins, she is planning to save up and acquire the tool.

As work progresses upon her game, coming ever so close to its final conflict, new pages have been sewn into the leather-bound tome of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~. For viewing in the forum's museum, the latest chapter allows one to glance into the mind of the Regent of Zen Aneia and her resolution to face the Herald of Calamity.

Filmography

Along with her submission into a pride month themed game jam, new clips have been prepared within Remi-chan's Cinematic Theatre. Simple teasers, but three in total featuring the game's protagonists, the numerous characters that are encountered in the game's sprawling world, and to show how expansive her game's universe extends.

Well, that's it for this week.

The system tracks what help documents have been shown, and ensures they are not reshown without the need of default RPG Maker switches. And built into the instructions, a discussion how to insert said windows into custom minigames and applications.

The Two-Stage Crafting script by DerVVulfman is a system to give a little simulation of the player or party having to put effort into the actual creation of items. While it only works on creating items from others, it allows one to create individual workstations that remember items placed within each and allows for selective crafting stations for different purposes.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

DerVVulfman gave one final push in archiving the remaining RMVX and ACE PAGES from RPGMakerWebs.com since it has closed up.

Continuing from last week, Starmage received an enticing shot of Lyra/Nocturna with wonderful lighting and subtle tones by Aikayo. Chad was rendered by Ratata in both monochrome and sharp colors as he carries his heavyblade. And returning this week is Klein brandishing is jade blade in sharp and vibrant colors, the illustration by Thea_Sketch. Bot other than that, Starmage also proudly announced that Rave Heart+ is now on sale. At 30% off, you can catch it at Steam's Summer Sale for a mere $6.99(USD) for WELL over a week.

This week, the latest version of HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable has been released, and with it the end of the annoying chirp that sounds whenever Midi audio play back is concerned. For more precision in their musical endeavors, kyondes added the ability to harness samples, sample rates and seconds to OGG, MP3 and even Midi music playback, though only for that within the BGM folder, And though the ability to play OGV movies does not function in the Windows port of HiddenChest as it does in Linux, he set up the system to merely deliver a 'false' return to prevent errors.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

Isn't it annoying that you can move around here or there in a map, but some areas you are just forbidden to go across? Not anymore. With KTrespass XP by kyonides, the intrepid game developer can be crafty and set up a map with tiles blocked, only to be open and available for the player if a custom item is held in possession. It utilizes the tile ID of your tileset within RPGMaker VX to determine what tiles can block the player until such items are held.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

DerVVulfman is continuing his work to download and save RMWEBS RMVX ACE PAGES, making daily posts of ten pages each.beginning this past Tuesday. In a five day span, he has acquired fifty inde pages full of scripts, with up to twenty scripts each page considering some having dead links. However, within the short week's time, he has acquired over half of the RPGMaker VXAce scripts from the site which are the last of the archives before he tackles another major section..

After discovering that Helladen's download links have broken, Sneezycat chose to craft her own version of the Skip Party Command Window. Not an edit of Helladen's by any sort, Sneezycat laboured to create her own version of the patch that eliminates the Fight/Escape window that appears within Yanfly's YEA - Battle Engine. So for that which has been lost over the years, Sneezycat has come to the aid with a fresh alternative.

Nomads and clans that cross the saharas are not often male exclusive, and tribes would ne'er survive were that the case. But fear not as the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V now includes the first of the female sand dwellers. With legs more slender and a top fitted and left open, a chestnut haired lass now appears. But for Ace_V, that is not enough. As Liet-Kynes from Dune would describe her, she is a desert creature, and knows that she would need to be protected. And so three other sprites had followed, her hair concealed, face covered, and eyes protected from the damaging sands.

Art and Design

Stationed outide the trefoil archway and oaken doors of our forum's museum are a pair of ushers, for they have the dubious task of ensuring one is of age if they wish to visit upon the latest work within. For indeed, the gallery presenting Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! now depicts a maiden as provocative as she is deadly.Clad only in the thinnest of silks that cover little and in a posture that some would call dangerous, the third of the Grand ArchDemons presents herself. Herself already a vision in scarlet, is presented in a setting filled with crimson hues, a work that took Remi-chan over ten hours to produce.

Literature

What say you, you who wishes to enter the marble halls of the great library of Save-Point. As this week, within the Accord of Animus, one more page of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ has been thus bound. Assaulted and nearly crippled, only to be lit afire and left as ash, the Bloodstar had returned for retribution. Seductive after her death even as she was in life, she preyed upon the men who sought her ruin and demise. To fire she went, and to fire for all eternity was the fate she gave.

Well, that's it for this week.

Announcements and Updates

Last week, DerVVulfman announced the ongoing RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor as the former dedicated site promoting the enterbrain RPGMaker series of game engines was closing in favor of another by GatchaGatchaGames. Since then, DerVVulfman repeately returned to announce the upload of zip files containing webpages belonging to the RPGMaker MV board, to the RPGMaker VX board and then with the RPGMaker XP boards.

Occasions

After being told about our community by Remi-chan, Zeigfried McBacon showed up. He's been using RPGMaker for two decades, and active in the communities since 2007. His skills lean more towards using the event system, the heart of any game developing engine, a fan of bacon, and a fan of Elder Scrolls Skyrim.

EmperorTEK has been using RPGMaker XP for a year, and came by after seeing the size of our scripts database. And Save-Point is the first forum that EmperorTek's ever joined.

Sneezycat is not new to the RPGMaker line of engines, beginning with RPGMaker XP and venturing into RPGMaker VXAce in 2013. Now returned after a long hiatur, Sneezycat is working on a Music Player script for RPGMaker VXAce.

As a little gift to Starmage, Berry B commissioned a couple of pieces of fan art for Rave Heart+. The first work was created by Wolffreak who did some brush art to create Sora. And after that, kagunami612 presented Flora in Bunny-styled hoodie with a contemporary anime/manga style.

A new version of HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable has been released, fixing directory bugs and added a feature to retrieve the values of the Rect class and return them as an array. But on top of that, he updated the innate audio module to add two more Background Music and two more Background Ambient Sound channels. While work was accomplished to play OGV movie/video files, it currently functions only for the Linux port.

Scripts Database

HiddenChest (RGSS1-3) Engine

Every game engine seems to have at least one JukeBox script, so kyonides crafted HiddenPlayList XP for HiddenChest.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

This week, kyonides showed up with a hammer to shatter the fourth wall, as his new script was gifted the name KStolenBGM XP for those who wish to make the appearance that the player stole the background music from the map. One need not be reliant solely upon map events with the Play BGM command to decide if music is returned, kyonides stores the IDs of the maps that can no longer perform their defined melodies.

With the closure of RPGMaker Webs, DerVVulfman made a thread dedicated to The RPGMaker XP topics from RMWEBS. The thread has a single link to a 480MB zip file which contains the first post to every XP topic from RPGMakerWeb's Plugins page with the exception of a smattering of pages where the content was deleted or unsalvageable. However, it should be noted that most of the content was posted by kyonides and has already existed within our board.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

After some time in development, kyonides took his time porting his RPGMaker XP script to RPGMaker VXAce and released ChooseFoes ACE. Much like the original, any time a battle is set to begin, a menu appears where the player may choose from a number of foes that are part of the mao's wandering monster's table. This port's current version allows for the menu to appear when a defined piece of armor is equipped or if warranted by the party's level.

As part of a request from a member of RPGMaker Web, kyonides put together Enter Monster Message ACE. Simplistic in nature, it allows for a custom message to appear before battle begins indicating the enemies being faced and their general attitude. The script includes a section to create custom messages as well as another to link enemies to their preferred statements.

With the closure of RPGMaker Webs, DerVVulfman made a thread dedicated to The RPGMaker VX topics from RMWEBS. The thread has a single link to a 260MB zip file which contains the first post to every VX topic from RPGMakerWeb's Plugins page with the exception of a smattering of pages where the content was deleted or unsalvageable. However, it should be noted that the bulk of the content is by kyonides and has like posts already within our board.

Plugins and Mods

RPGMaker MV/MZ Engines

Last week, DerVVulfman created a new thread dedicated to the RPGMaker Plugins from RPGMaker Webs after downloading webpages from the now closed site. But when creaeted, he only had the web pages for RPGMaker MZ plugins. This week, he visited the topic three more times, uploading all of the RPGMaker MV plugins he was able to save. However, he admits some posts were not copied as the threads had their content self-deleted.

The halls of the forum's museum were wide open, and a speaker stood before the doors to the gallery proclaiming that free will is but an illusion and one's decisions matter naught. This set the stage for the portrait in hues of violet and orchid that was put on display within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! Her name is Yurigi, and with leathen wings and a spade-tipped tail, this smiling figure draped in raiments of indigo and lilac is not one to underestimate. Slated for Remi-chan's sequel to Fantasia, she is a prophetess who believes everything is part of a clockwork pattern. And this maiden, with her otherworldly appearance akin to the Twins, took ten hours to paint. Though it only takes 17 minutes to watch her creation on video.

Well, that's it for this week.

Announcements and Updates

This week, many were shocked by the news that RPG Maker Web is Closing. Starting anew, GatchaGatchaGames has created another community site and gave its members a mere week's time of posting before RPG Maker Web goes into a read-only mode. And by the end of the year, it will cease to exist. The statement by GatchaGatchaGames reads that even membership accounts will not be transferred, so membership within their new 'guild' requires a new account. But at least all licensed purchases of RPGMaker engines made at KomodoStore remain intact.

For those that are appauled that the site is not only set to close, but destined for erasure, there is now an RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor happening right now. And with that, DerVVulfman posted a link where one can acquire a massize zip file for the RPGMaker MZ plugins. And for others, TouchFuzzy had disabled all protective barriers so they would be able to utilize the Internet Archive for backups.

Feedback and Suggestions

After noticing that RPGMakerWebs was closing, DoubleX rushed over to inform the membership of the new Guild location created by GatchatGatchaGames. However, he also wished to suggest that we Prepare For Increased Forum Activity with the closing of Webs, and that he began promoting our site.

As RPGMaker Webs is vanishing, Crime Robot decided to come by for a spell. A fan of old-school NES and SNES RPGs, he hopes to sticking around and get working on his games. He has some experience, but lost much of his progress was lost with his prior PC.

A fledgeling in the use of RPGMaker MZ is MuyoPopHoneyNutFemios. Invited to our community by Rose Guardian, she too is also an artist and looks forward to making games with this and other gaming engines.

TroyZ is no stranger to video game forums, and has arrived here with other refugees from the now sinking RPGMaker Web. He has hopes to find our community cozy, and was surprised to find his old haunt of RPG Revolutions had been tucked away. He plans to return to scripting since going on a forced hiatus from an earthquake nearly eight years ago.

On the hunt for scripts meant for RPGMaker VXAce is alexncf125. It was luck indeed that our forum was found and the surprise of a large treasure trove of resources wasn't something to just ignore.

Low and behold, for Nintendo's Lawsuit against Palworld is now BORKED! From all appearances, everything that Nintendo's lawsuit sought to use to crush their rival had been removed from their beta releases by way of patches. And given that the official version still has over a month to appear, the gaming induststry giant's expected return were they to prevail is a meager ¥5 million yen, or $30,000 dollars USD. Neither Nintendo nor PocketPair, Inc.see this as anything more than chump change, and this turn of events is being seen as a victory by many in the gaming industry. But to add insult to Injury, a Costa Rican entrepreneur also struck a devastating blow by winning a Trademark lawsuit against Nintendo and José Mario Alfaro González is able to proceed with naming his supermarket "Super Mario".

Due to the sheer number of events that take place weekly, this is the last Gazette article for the News of the World. This is solely for the quantity of stories that come from day to day and the actual substantive and high rating of the material posted which makes editing the content down in size difficult. And at times, it is difficult to limit what to relay. But this week, the News does cover much that occurred in the Middle East between Israeli retaliation against Hezbollah attacks and the deal to end the war between the US and Iran. Ukraine regained over 200 square miles of its territory back from Putin, while it was revealed Russia conscripted women to poison Ukranian troops on dates, Outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard declasisfied and released documents revealing over 100 biological labs in foreign countries that the Biden Administration lied never existed. It's been confirmed that China is building structures in contested waters. And now Vietnam's worry of Bejing's expanding military buildup has it buying cruise missiles from India. The dead body in a car boot found outside Iran's World Cup training camp in Mexico, the Mexican trade group dealer fired after making racist jestures at a South Korean influence during the World Cup, the leader of Tren de Aragua killed by a joint US/Venezuela action, and more hit the news. But while this is the last post for News of the World in the Weekly Gazette, the news itself never stops.

Social media bans came into focus within the News of the Cyber World with Canada planning to restrict access to anyone sixteen years or younger. But they apparently didn't get the memo from teens in Australia that the same ban is a failure with the variaties of ways they've skirted around them. The poster child for crypto currency scams attempted to appeal his sentance, but the three-judge panel told FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried that the evidence used in court was very robust. Apple is in extreme hot water with their userbase as they are now scaling back what products will remain supported as they're ending support updates for all but the last four years of the iWatch. After protests ignited following the attempted beheading of a Belfast citizen by a Sudanese immigrant (noted in the article posted in News of the World), German state media began calling out Elon Musk and others who called for protest while simultaneously ignoring their calls for "Peaceful. Respectful. Together." However, more violence has ignited in Geneva by violent anti-capitalist protestors clashing with police, setting fires, and vandalising businesses over US President Trump's attendance. California rebuking Iranian hackers attack on their water system, the study of book over eBooks, and more hit this week's cybernews.

If anyone was wondering What's up with their fellow RMers, Steel Beast 6Beets can't help but think how cute a chubby Yasondre from Remi-Chan's game appears. But when kyonides tried using AI search built into search engines to find a Github link, he found the AI instead supplied his online resume. Meanwhile, Remi-chan's long war against RPGMaker Webs has come to an end, though that is with the site now closing. But for her project, Remi-chan has continued adding more flavor text while she received a walking sprite for one of her winged characters.

This week, mauve and heliotrope was the color scheme within the Maps and Screenshots thread as Remi-chan showcased a few of her recenttly received characters that appear within an alien cityscape at midnight. Catgirls and talking mice, together and without carnage, though a wasting may yet soon come.

Not long ago, kyonides crafted a script where the player could actively decide upon enemies they face from the random encounters roster with ChooseFoes XP. He had made various updates over the weeks, but then thought of a new option. Now, you may be able to flatly skip the battle altogether. But this was followed by one last update, one that ensures that battles are unavoidable and cannot be skipped based upon the terrain in which the party stands.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines

Defeating enemies over and over may be tiresome. However, kyonides thought to add a little diversity when a foe has been eliminated. With that, KEnemy Slain ACE allows one to display a custom message by their defeated opponent.

A massive zip file is now available, a collection of RM WEBS's OWN RMMZ PAGES. It is up for a limited time, and created by DerVVulfman as there are efforts to archive RPGMakerWeb as it is now closing in preference to a new site owned by Gatcha Gatcha Games. The file size is over 3 Gigabytes and has the first main page of every RPGMaker MZ plugin thread with its code, links and attached JS scripts and image files saved.

Against a clock of her own design, a maiden with a youthful appearance stands before all. But for the figure now within the gallery open wide presenting Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!, dark are her deeds, darker than the deep indigo raiments in which she is clad. It was two months ago that the Eldrich Seer had previously appeared, though this time tempting the unwary with a smile. Only slightly faster in creation than her previous work, a speed draw of 10 minutes is available to watch Remi-chan's craft.

Literature

A creature of total malice, and in her mind a savior to all. It is within the lates pages of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets that we discover that a monster that has devised the deaths of billions in a war built upon hatred and license believes it her means to save mortalkind.

Well, that's it for this week.

RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor

There is a team working to prevent the loss of RPGMaker Webs content. Touchfuzzy had disabled the protective barrier that prevented the Internet Archive from reaching the posts, and the team is working to have as much saved before the system shuts down.

For my part, I just finished downloading the first post of EVERY SINGLE RPGMaker MZ PLUGIN thread in the Released Plugins board.
That can be found HERE in our forum's Scripts Database

A scant couple of posters deleted their content. And a couple just issued requests that were not fulfilled (those ignored). Other than that, the pages either have the CODE for their javascript plugins, links to the off-site sources where they are kept, or are in an ATTACHMENT folder where the actual .js files have been preserved.Z

Thank you.

When it comes to Iran, take your choice of what articles to read within the News of the World, whether it be IRGC targeting US vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, Israel's targeting Hezbollah leaders in reprisal to missile attacks coming from Lebanon followed by Iran's declared for Support for Hezbollah and Iran's subequent missile salvos targeting Israel this weekend. On an odd note, Democrats shot down a resolution by fellow Congresswoman Tlaib over Lebanon where the US is not even engaged.

Russia again launched attacks on Ukraine, either in major cities or striking nuclear storage facilities near Chernobyl. Russia's President Puten rebuffed Ukraine Zelensky's call for a meeting for a ceasefire as Putin seeks all invasion goals while Ukraine drones cripple more Russian infrastructure. And despite Russia's own experts calling the invasion a lost cause, propaganda is convincing young Russians to still sign up. Meanwhile, France intercepted another Shadow Fleet Tanker linked to Russian Oil, and an underwater drones exploded at a Romanian Black Sea port not one week after Russian drones previously caused damage in Romania.

China, in an attempt to claim more and more territory, sent a flotilla of warships to waters east of Taiwan ahead of talks between Japan and the Phillippines over ensured and recognized maritime boundaries. In an move to ellicit a reaction, China sent a vessel four miles off the Pratas Islands that Taiwan claims as their own. Meanwhile, new concerns are building in Manila that China is building a base in the disputed reefs of the Scarborough Shoal's lagoon. As towards China's claim of Japan militarizing, that claim has been rebuked as Defense Minister Shinjirō Koizumi countered that all their defense is open, and still carry no nuclear arsenal nor bombers. The US asked their partners in the South Pacific to increase defense spending to help build a front line of defence while creating a stronger intelligence sharing platform. And Taiwan is still set to purchase the US's $14 Billion arms package.

To quote Chris Tucker in Rush Hour, "Follow the Rich White Man". That is exactly what is happening in the United States as the Department Of Justice indictment of the SPLC showed the organization funded $4 million to the KKK, even for crosses to burn. And following all the fraud arrests by the DOJ, Minnesota's DHS began shut down of over 3,400 fraudulent Medicare providers. In elections, Graham Platner's accuser Lindsey Fifield gave an interview to the NY Times, but slammed the published story as having intentionally removed all claims from other women over rape charges. And Mamdani's campaign guru is now under fire for the bullying tactics he applied to Platner campaign staffer Genevieve McDonald over the sexting scandal. Meanwhile, the count is underway in California for both the Governor's house and the race for Mayor Karen Bass's seat. However, Election interference reigns as a voting site was vandalized and burned mail-in ballots were found in a drop box. Even as a terror suspect who threatened to kill Ivanka Trump and plotted to blow up a synagogue in New York City, a Navy Sailor was just caught in an ISIS plot to kill special forces troops with drones and grenades.

Violence erupted in Europe, with six stabbed at the Arsenal's Premier League Victory Parade only hours after celebrations in Paris for PSG’s Champions League turned the Champs Élysées into a Fortnite map. However, there were miraculous discoveries as an ancient sanctuary was revealed by construction crews in Italy. And two hobbyist treasure hunters uncover the largest Viking Coin hoard just outside of Elverum in Southeast Norway. On the otherhand, Mexican authorities found a massive tunnel network that ran from Tijuana into the United States.

The suspected Hamas terrorist busted for plot to bomb an Israeli cruise line, another $3.5Billion signed off for California's decades old high-speed rail project, the Australian "ISIS Bride" renouncing the Islamic State in court following her arrest, the loss of US Actor James Handy (Top Gun: Maverick, Jumanji, NCIS) and London's Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Apple TV's Ted Lasso), and more hit this week's news.

Concerns over facial recognition hit Meta when it was found that Facial Recognition content was in their smart glasses, and many think that system upgrades are designed to actively make devices obsolete and force customers to buy the new. And another case of a child predator targeting underage players on Roblox also hit this week's news along with much, much more.

For Remi-chan, the continued work on Fantasia is What's up in RMing, and she just finished her work to prevent her custom menu system from engaging when certain events are taking place, though she admits the safeguard might not be added everywhere. And with recent sprites and artwork she's received, she has been filling her world with more NPCs. And in regards of spritework, she received a new chunky sprite of Yasondre, the mother of her three herones, and a couple of canines from Xiie (aka Rune).

An old classic has returned as DerVVulfman posted the last version of the famous XRXS_MP 6. Ring Menu Implementation script, noting the name of the author as Kazuki and that the original edition also included graphics work by Ouga Zaitou. For those who have used the western translations that were originally prominent at Creation Asylum, there are some subtle differences except in the base mechanics.

Based upon the XRXS original by Kazuki, DerVVulfman released Ring Menu Advanced, his rendition of the XRXS Ring Menu. A major change from the original; along with placing all editable values within a single module, he included a means to change and even increase the number of main menu options beyond the base six from the default menu. He later returned to update after discovery of an issue when returning from a prior menu such as Skill or Save, DerVVulfman updated the Ring Menu script with error preventing code and released a patch to allow for more accurate menu returns.

The music halls remain silent, waiting for her to step forward onto stage. This week, in keeping with her theme of blood and childhood stolen by undeath, Remi-Chan Sings As Best She Can!. Entitled "Take Up Your Brush, and Paint the World", Remi uses reverb and phaser voice effects for an otherworldy sound as a slow plodding melody with death sighs is replaced with more kinetic refrains.

The Museum of art within our forum has its gallry for Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! wide open as a new presentation has appeared. It is a simple before and after, a birth and rebirth if you will, of a character from Remi-Chan's recent endeavor. A maiden slain in her youth, cursed in her childhood, and burdened with a thirst. Garbed in scarlet as she leaves a trail of crimson in her wake, she reaches her arms out for embrace, an embrace from which which no one would return. Created just this past May, it too was one of the brisk renders she had created.with a speed draw that didn't last even ten minutes, a speed draw with vocals by the character's own vocal artist.

Literature

Within the new pages of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~, a tale of tragedy appears, a tragedy that had brought forth venegeance and blood. A young girl who was at death's doorstep, one whose time it was to cross, was now thrust into violence against the physicians who threw accusations to her father. And with undeath anew, there would be blood.

Well, that's it for this week.

Will there be a peace deal with Iran turning over all their nuclear material while ensuring the Strait of Hormuz is not mined? That is one of the questions asked in this week's News of the World. The US offered two paths towards peace, one even allowing Iran to heavily dilute their nuclear stockpiles. Howver, the US had to fire upon missile bases and fast boats attempting to once more establish mines in the Strait.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is taking its toll, this while a senior Kyiv commander suggested that the next six months will be vital to shred Moscow's ambitions while Russian troops are exhausted. Its toll may also be taking its toll on Russia's President Vladimir Putin as rumors of stand-ins during public appearances re-emerge when a fellow politician used another name when addressing the President. Ukraine's President Zelensky put out a request for more Patriot anti-missile batteries as he foresees more attacks in coming months, this just as roughly 300 more drones were sailed during a thunderous Russian air attack killing five civilians and wounding fourty more. But chaotic as Russia's attacks have been, Moscow has been constantly endangering neighboring NATO nations, now actively striking an apartment building in Romania. It was only late April that fragments of a Russian Drone were recovered in Moldavia after damaging a utility pole and part of a residencial building.

In the US, 50,000 residents had to evacuate an area near a chemical plant in Orange County, California. US President Trump declared a Federal Emergency as there was a threat of a catastrophic explosion, though the Orange County Fire Authority states the threat of explosion has been eliminated, eliminated as a crack in the tank appeared relieving the massive pressure buildup. The EPA is currently in Orange County, providing air monitoring support. Though they haven't found anything in the residential areas, monitoring continues while they have closed roads leading up to the plant. The war against fraud continues as two in Minnesota, Shamso Ahmed Hassan and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, both of Somalian heritage, were arrested for more than $21 Million in theft of funds meant for Autism services. And for Democrats, the situation must be horrid when CNN itself blasts former First-Lady Jill Biden over her complete reversal of comments she made about her husband, Former President Biden and his health concerns. It is not just Graham Platner taking heat over the comments and his mass-deleted Reddit posts that insulted a Purple Heart recipient, but now Democrats Warren, Schumer, Sanders and Jeffries supporting Platner are being torn into.

China is attempting to exert pressure in the pacific, restricting rare earth minerals to Japan in an attempt to halt the U.S. from supplying defense technology to Japan and to Taiwan which is required by the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. China released video of a NATO warship from the Netherlands threatened by two CCP warships and a fighter in what the Dutch Frigate stated were international waters, yet China asserts as their territory as they continue to claim much of the South China sea including waters of other nearby nations. And in a response to China's encroachment, the US, the UK and Australia have unveiled a new joint project to develop advanced underwater drones as Chinese-linked vessels have been linked to incidents involving damaged undersea cables near Taiwan and in European waters.

A revision of a two-decades-old script has appeared with Reserve Party Tools. Originally by RPG Advocate, the script allowed the player to swap their party members with a reserve roster of heroes, even allowing them to gain some percentage of experience points from battles they're not a part. However, much of the script contained massive rewrites to the default scripts. DerVVulfman's re-released edition worked to limit the number of rewritten scripts while performing some repairs or eliminating some issues.

After discovering that the engine has always held this capability, DerVVulfman wrote MUSIC EFFECT FADE, a small script that allows one to set a fade-out effect for melodies normally associated with battle victories, triggered treasure discoveries and the like. Useful if one has a longer-than-normal tune in use.

Another presentation has been announced within Save-Point's Museum of Art and once more the gallery dedicated to Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! has its doors flung wide. On display this week, a young girl beset against land and sky, both alien to her and yet still that of her home. The aptly named Lass of Steel is but a child, her lore describing this maiden with flowing locks of chocolate as not even a teenager and yet one who had put aside her own turmoil to give aid to those in need. Emerald eyes filled with heartache cannot hide behind her glasses. This was another of the quick-paced illustrations by Remi-chan, taking but half the time she usually spends, and a speed-draw less than 6 minutes demonstrates such.

Quiet is the forum's museum where tomes old and new may be discovered. Yet only this week, a new verse has been published and placed among Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~.

No mother nor father of her own, it was she who had to have the strength of parents to those younger than herself until what she thought was the end of days. But when the end of days indeed arrived, what came of her resolve?

In this week's News of the World, Iran's leadership has finally admitted that the toll has indeed been heavy on their nation. Yet violence still erupts, necessesitating Pakistan to deploy 8000 troops and to help bolster Saudi Arabia, necessitating the Trump administration to apply new economic penalties. And the US President issued one more statement that Iran must give up all nuclear ambitions and the uranium they have before any sanctions relief apears.

The Russian aggression in Ukraine is spreading, yet no one expected the news that a Russian drone would strike a Chinese Cargo ship just before Russia's President Putin was to meet with China's President. However, it may be related to reports that China's President Xi told the Trump administration it was likely Putin's biggest mistakes. And while Moscow makes claims that Ukraine bombed a college dorm, Russia launched attack after attack, some missiles with depleted uranium warheads poisoning the land and the last one striking Kyiv with 600 drones and salvos of hypersonic missiles.

Funding fraud was the news of the week, and last week as the Trump Admiinstration initiated a launch into US Taxpayer funded Biolabs outside of the States. The owner of a daycare in the viral Nick Shirley videos was charged for $4.6M in fraud.And in Minnesota, one of the largest-of-its-kind fraud and money laundering schemes paid parents to fake claims of autism in their children for kickbacks, a $46 Million dollar enterprise. Violence has also ensued such as the recent rash of Teen Takovers that have repeatedly turned into brawls, the DC Courts threatening to prosecute the parents of teens that continue these altercations. After assisting a motorist from Chicago into the nearest hospital, an Indiana Deputy was shot in the hospital by said motorist after realizing a warrent was out. Three teenagers ranging from 15 to 17 have been launching andom shooting sprees in Austin, the eldest identified as an illegal alien. And another attempted shooting appeared at the White House by a gunman whom actually believed he was Jesus Christ.

This week, it was atrocities committed by Iran that his this week's edition of News of the World, with the execution of a promising aerospace engineer accused of being both a CIA operative and a member of the Mosaad and the execution of protestor Mohammad Abbasi and the psychological torture inflicted on his family. Tensions flare as the fragile ceasefire appears to be coming to an end with Iran threatening the use of small attack subs while it launches drone strikes at the UAE's Nuclear Power Plant near Abu Dhabi. But now it is not the US and Israel that has demanded that Iran never have nuclear capabilities, but even Chinese President XI has made that call after talks with US President Trump this past week.

What was an invasion that was horribly lopsided in favor of Moscow has turned into a nightmare for Russia's Vladimir Putin, the 73-ear old's health being called into question after his very quiet and melancholy appearance during their Victory Day parade last week. With the maelstrom of attacks and relentless missile barrages endured, Ukraine's military strategy of attack drone use took seed and flourished. And now, twenty countries are interested in Ukraine-manufactured drones with contracts already signed by four. Still, Russia continues to attack while many believe this will be Putin's last year, drone strikes targeting kindergartens just moments after their ceasefire ended, and killing dozens in missile strikes in Kyiv.

In the US, Democrats are facing backlash as California's Governor Newsome is being called out for not dropping the exorbitant Gas Tax, New York's Governor Hochul for pushing and enflaming the Long Island Rail Road strike for political points. And from prison, the founder of the non-profit Feeding our Futures, has gone on record to say Rep. Ilhan Omar was indeed aware and involved in the $250 million scam Covid Fraud scam. As towards court drama in the US, former Californian Democratic Mayor Eileen Wang pled guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government. And Democrats are now pleading with the Supreme Court to permit the redistricting that was struck down by Virginia's own Courts that found the redistricting illegal and even said it was before the attempt was made. 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez is facing the death penalty for the Hamas-inspired killing of two Israeli embassy staff members last May. And due to a deadlocked jury, a third mistrial involving disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein over rape charges was declared.

In the UK, things are not just dreary for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, but grim and desloate as his falling popularity and party losses have his allies turn against him. But despite repeated calls for his resignation, Starmer remains defiant and held off immediate challenges this past week. Also in the UK, a group of protestors waving Palestinian flags called for the assassination of the co-founded the English Defence League and organizer of the "Unite the Kingdom" rally, Tommy Robinson. Caught on camera, the protestors chanted vile messages that included demands that Robinson be assassinated like Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk. And its not a good day for police officers charged with protecting the Royal Family at Windsor Castle, as allegations have been levied against them for leaving their posts and falling asleep on duty.

In response to Ace_V's request, DerVVulfman released Aced Shops a script he began working upon just days before, and one that fulfilled the requests of a buy-only or sell-only shop, a shop that could carry limited quantities of items that could later be refilled, shops that could set individual prices in opposition to the default database prices, and one that could limit the items that could be sold back.

The gildend doors to the forum's museup opened once more as the gallery dedicated to Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing! has received one more work, and a seascape at that. But no soft waves gently crest nor ripple for the wooden ships daring to cross. No good are the myriad cannons mounted upon the bow of the frigates aimed at the small femiine figure ahead.

Within the forum's library, works continue to flourish. And the pages of Remi-chan's Writing Snippets~ likewise grow. An age of sail has been romanticised with tales of pirates and adventure. But for those that sale a sea that is itself alive and hungry, an age of sail is horror and extinction. It is not bleak for those who sail upon a sea of viscuous slime, it is a death sentence. And what makes the scenarior all the more monstrous is that the sea itself is aware and ever hungry.
