RPG MAKER MZ PREORDERS LIVE!

To be fair, the Japanese website doesn't have that many screenshots of the DLCs, either. The only screenshots that the Japanese website has are the ones that you can see on the newsletter, like the following that was previously posted by slimmmeiske2:


As for the RPG Maker MZ preorder, I will definitely be going for the preorder as soon as possible. Even though the program will eventually go on a big sale at a much later time, the current discount is good enough to anyone that wants to get and to use RPG Maker MZ right away. The response to the current discount has been very positive from what I noticed and I personally like the discount as well. In regard to the bundle packs, even if they had a preorder discount, I wouldn't be getting them as I'm only interested in the MV Trinity Resource Pack and the Dark Fantasy Resource Pack, so I'll just wait for a later time to get the two aforementioned resource packs.

Not expecting a meaningful answer, but, for Time Progress Battles, if 2 or more heroes filled their action gauge simultaneously, can we choose which hero gets to move first, or is it strictly decided by party order?

I'm expecting the latter scenario as answer, so I'm wondering if a plugin creator could answer how difficult it would be to write a plugin that lets the player cycle between heroes that have their action gauges filled.
It's a mechanic I had for my custom RM2K3 battle system that added a lot of extra decision making during battles, and I don't recall ever having it seen used elsewhere in an RPG Maker game.

I've also would like to know more about the Time Progress Battle system. The only thing that they mentioned is that TPB is not exactly an Active Time Battle System, but is based on the same concept, and so far they have only given hints that further information will be released at a latter date.

Touchfuzzy has said he will talk about it soon. I too can't wait to hear more about it.

I'm working on testing stuff to make sure what I wrote is correct today :)

It was a tough call, but I decided to go with pre-purchasing MZ from steam. I decided that I didn't need the standalone version of MV, so... I got the full package.
RPG Maker MZ Pre-Purchase
RPG Maker MZ - MZ Cover Art Characters Pack
RPG Maker MZ - MV Trinity Resource Pack
RPG Maker MZ - 3D Particle Effect Pack
RPG Maker MZ - Dark Fantasy Resource Pack
RPG Maker MZ - Essentials Set Z

Random question:

Is there still plan to propose the preorder bundles on this site?

Just checking back to see if there has been any update as to when/if this site is going to be selling the RPG Maker MZ Bundle S? Would love to be able to purchase it off of the main RPG Maker store as I normally prefer to buy products off of this site rather than Steam.

Still being worked on. Apologies!

Hello! I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for the S bundle to be included on RPGMakerWeb store. Your online store is preferable due to the service and reliability. I dont care about price as long as its your store.

Maybe you all could include your own interesting bundle that has unique dlc limited to rpgmakerweb store?

For any plugin developer having written ATB system scripts/plugins before, it's an easy, simple and small task, and 1 such way is to let plugin users set some hotkeys to select another inputable actor with a smaller(e.g.: left arrow key)/larger(e.g.: right arrow key) party member index, or hotkeys to select an actor with a specified index(like numi for ith party member) if that actor's inputable.
I've done that in both VXA and MV, and will likely write a plugin to add this functionality in MZ provided that I'll indeed buy it and it's not a default behavior already :)

Just as a comment, you can cycle through available actors in the TPBS. It's tied to the cancel button.

Also Pre-Ordered through Steam but I have an extra copy of MV to gift out now. Really looking forward to using this Engine.

@Touchfuzzy if the bundles are implemented on RPGStore much later, will Degica amplify the "preorder offer" time? I'm just waiting to purchase it on the store!

I can ask here (i hope so) one little thing...
Will be any further look on all DLC, that was in super-duper bundle before 20th of August?
Specially, the "character generator parts" one...
I mean, there is few DLC's for MV, that was contained some interesting parts, like Japanese one...

Does anyone know what happens with the free MV steam copy (which I gifted to a friend) after I refund my MZ pre-order on steam? I assume it will be removed from his account or will this prevent me from refunding my preorder?

@Touchfuzzy post above

@R1PFake, I'm almost sure it'll be removed from his account just like your MZ copy after refund.

This might sound like a simple question to some but I'm not sure; (I just bought the regular RPG Maker MZ package off of the main site), and I got my product key for MZ. Now do I use that same key for both the MZ I will download from the main site as well as the Steam version?

@GalacticGod Yes, the same key does for both.
