Game Creation Environment Improvements

Functions to reduce creation time and prevent erroneous entry such as data conversion to support migration from the RPG Maker MV environment to the MZ environment, movement route previews, map layer displays, and more have been added, evolving RPG Maker MZ into a tool that allows you to concentrate more on creating.

• Map Layer Selection Function
• Plugin Command Improvements
• Movement Route Preview Display
• Prevention of Erroneous Number Input

Gameplay Control Improvements

RPG Maker MZ also includes improvements that will allow players to enjoy your games more, including autosave support, save data transfer via game ID, and menu UI changes. While MZ of course supports traditional independent gameplay using the keyboard, browser and touch controls are now included as default schemes. You can now create games that are easy-to-play in a variety of formats.

• Improved Smartphone UI
• Autosave Function
• Distinction Between Creations via "Game ID"

New Battle System

In addition to turn-based battle, you can now also select time progression battles (TPB), where actions are taken sequentially by actors whose gauges have been filled. This allows you to adopt a real-time battle format in your own games.

Improvements to Artistic Expressions in Games

The animation editor has been greatly overhauled, allowing you to use realistic animations in your games. Also added are a character generation function that allows you to create original characters, and a function that lets you adjust each part's position.

You can create games that align more closely to your vision with the addition of control characters, a variable operand that utilizes whatever action occurred immediately prior to the current one, and more.

• Animation Data Settings
• Character Generator Improvement
• "Just Prior" Variable Operand
• Improved "Show Text"

Other

Small improvements such as the ability to configure resolution and font in the editor have been added. Beginners and experts alike can now create a larger variety of games.
