Version 0.1!
There are a few things I wanna talk about with this update:
- I'm a little loopy and tired at the moment, so this post may be a little sloppy.
- Development will continue with RMVX Ace instead of RMMZ, because I'm more comfortable with it. If things get too wonky (which they might), I'll switch to RMMV at that point.
- I'll try to make more frequent updates to this game from now on, since I don't really like my schedule... either that or I'll try to make the scheduled updates bigger than the ones in-between.
Even though this update is pretty small, it feels good to upload a little something for now. Hopefully it works okay for you, but if not, please let me know and I'll switch engines!
Thank you very much for reading and take care. ✌

My god, the RMVXAce RTP! The nostalgia hit quite hard, almost makes me want to reopen the software!!
Simple but cute (loved the guards and the little touch you give to your NPCs like the sneezing maid)!
Good job for this 0.1 and thanks for the 8 pancakes!
VX Ace was the first game engine I learned to use, and I still love it! When did you first come across it?
Thank you! I'm especially glad you like the maid. She's my favourite part of this build.
You're welcome! Even though this version was late, it's nice to have something playable now, ya know?
Yes I totally understand, it always feel so good to have something playable, to see our work pay off!
I don't remember exactly, I discovered the RPG Maker series thanks to a french website and started with a hacked version of RPG Maker XP and when I heard that the VXAce version was available on Steam it was almost an instant buy. It's such a charming engine and the RTP are, I think, my favorite of the serie (except the nightmare fuel character generator :D).
Interesting! Do you remember if Don Miguel had anything to do with that version? I think he made an unofficial English translation of RPG Maker 2000 back in the day, so maybe he did the XP one too...
Very true! 😄 They definitely improved the character generator in MV & MZ! It's too bad they stopped making the chibi sprites, though. I still love that character style.
Just checked, the guy was called Zeus but yeah Don Miguel rings a bell, definitley heard that name before!
Yes MV/MZ character generator is sooo much better, and also agree with you on the style and I also liked the fact that some sprites (like the maid used in your game) have different animations other than walking, gives them personnality and make the world feel more "alive".
And you, how did you discover the RPG Maker series? I'm curious now :D
Yeah, I imagine many people in the RPG Maker community have at least heard Don's name before at some point. So Zeus' version was a French translation? That's your native language, yes?
Absolutely! The extra animations are a great addition, and I actually wish there were more animations like that for all the RTP characters! I'd even consider buying them as DLC.
Lemme think... The first time I really became interested in RPG Maker was when I saw Markiplier play The Witch's House! At some point after that, I was gifted a Steam key for VX Ace and learned how to use it by watching tutorials on YouTube. Good times! 😁
Actually, I just remembered something! Are you familiar with the game OFF? That game was originally made in French, so I wonder if you know it... (Sorry for the lengthy response, by the way!😱)
