Hey everyone! I've been working on my RPG for a while now, and I’ve finally reached a huge milestone: replacing placeholders with the final VFX and character battle sprite animations. Up until now, I only had the final assets for the first two characters featured in the demo (Redian and Cecilia). But bit by bit, the rest of the party is taking shape, and playtesting is starting to feel like a completely different experience now! :D

If you're interested in the game, you can check it here (and maybe wishlist it if you like it): https://store.steampowered.com/app/4169890/5th_ERA/

There's a playable demo, already. I'll update with a newer version in few months

So, I wanted to join the GMTK Game Jam 2026, but making a traditional RPG in 3-4 days sounded like a really bad idea. Instead I experimented with MZ and built an arcade shooter.

I just used two main plugins to pull it off: VisuStella Picture Common Events to simulate the shooting mechanic (enemies are picture events that take damage via Common Events). and MogHunter's Picture Effect to add float/breath animations to pictures.

If you're curious to see how it turned out, you can check it out here:
