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.
