The Weekly Gazette 9-13-2026

[DerVVulfman]

(September 7 to September 13, 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

  Announcements and Updates

With RMRK closing, DerVVulfman is still focused upon the recreation of that vanishing site's content.  With the RPGMaker XP scripts finished, he has begun work upon the duplication of every RPGMaker VX script that could be saved. And while the engine itself is hardly used, the RPGMaker VX scripts comprised the lion's share of RMRK's library.

  Occasions

bstaghare is no stranger to the RPGMaker line, having dabbled with some games back in the late 90s.  But now he has some programming skills under his belt and joined the forum with an interest in returning to game development. And after greetings by DerVVulfman, he may be looking into some classic RPGMaker games.

  General Chat

Game development seems to be part and parcel on the mind of our members. Currently, Orcolem is stalking sites on the internet like any practical resource hunter in an endeavor to make a character creation system. And not long after setting his PC back to Windows, KDC is encountering some unexpected hiccups but has taken no chances and backed up his game development projects.

  Development Discussion

What's up when an RMer has been engrossed into a webcomic of his own design?  Simple! Make a piece of software that that is a tie-in to the online work.  Right now, kyonides announced he plans to make a courtroom trial-based script, and included a couple of screenshots from his projected work.

  Scripts Database

  RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

It was a while back when someone noted that he could not transfer his game and all its scripts to the Hiddenchest executable by kyonides. However, no fault existed with either the user or the Hiddenchest system.  And after some investigation, DerVVulfman released the RUBY 2.0+ PATCH FOR THE RMXP SDK 2.0+. When the RMXP SDK was created, the version of Ruby engaged was more lax in structure and the SDK's automated window-update method returned a different format of variables that was not accounted for with Ruby 2.0 or later.  DerVVulfman's patch takes care of this minor structural issue.

  Resources Database

  2D Resources

Sometimes less is more. And if you were working on a scene with characters that needed to remain fixed for a scene, you need not have a characterset with actual animations.  If you needed such a graphic with characters facing away from the player and screen, the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V now has a number of his desert dwelling citizenry set up in a single graphic for reverend attendence in a temple, watching a movie in a cinemahouse, or other such scenes.

Creativity Section

  Art and Design

Things get hot at City Hall as fairies protesting the destruction of their homes occurs while Kayzee's Ordeal continues in prison. The mysterious frost sorceress from Japan gave her long distance beau a chilly reception in a scene that proves hospital food still sucks. And a hot-shot lawyer has come to town. How does this bode for our fae in the clink?

Well, that's it for this week.
