Enhance Your Game's Visuals! Update Ver. 1.14 Adds Support for Multiple Fonts

[h3]Hello everyone!
We have updated to Ver. 1.14! [/h3]

This update introduces a range of new features designed to significantly enhance both the quality of your game and the comfort of your development experience, starting with the highly requested support for multiple fonts in-game.

We’ve also made the editor’s text data publicly accessible, allowing users to localize the editor themselves—an important step toward broader language support.

Now, let’s take a look at the new features!
[hr][/hr]
[h2]Main Features Added and Improved in Ver. 1.14[/h2]

[h3]Significantly Enhanced Visual Expression: Multiple Font Support In-Game [/h3]
Ever wanted to use different fonts for dialogue text and UI elements, or change the tone of just part of a message? Now you can!

By choosing fonts that perfectly match each scene, your game’s visual presentation can become more compelling than you ever imagined.

You can import and use your own fonts in .ttf or .otf format. We encourage you to take full advantage of this feature!
(Please be sure to check the license terms of any fonts you use.)





[h3]Localization Mod Support [/h3]
We have released a Language Pack containing the necessary files to localize the Bakin editor.
By translating the provided files and placing them in a designated folder, users can localize the tool itself into their preferred language.
(Please note that the distribution of localization files is subject to the RPG Developer Bakin End User License Agreement (EULA).)

[h3]Even Greater Possibilities with C#: Bind Multiple C# Scripts to a Single Event[/h3]
It is now possible to bind multiple C# scripts to a single event, making it easier to build more complex processes and improve script reusability.
Additionally, the method selection dialog used during binding has been redesigned for better usability.

Movement speeds for players and events can now be finely adjusted as a percentage relative to a base speed, enabling more precise and flexible scene direction.
We have also improved the responsiveness of the debug window during test play, resulting in a smoother development experience overall.

In addition to these, Version 1.14 includes numerous other feature additions and improvements.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3611660/

This DLC is a collection of high-resolution pixel art character assets, newly created by pixel artist Vibrato, based on the four characters included in RPG Developer Bakin's standard assets: "Hero A", "Hero B", "Black Mage", and "White Mage".
Compared to the 40 x 40 pixels per frame of the standard assets, this collection is produced at about four times the resolution (96 x 96 pixels). The details and personalities of each character are expressed more finely and attractively.
It also includes 14 exclusive actions and poses that match the characteristics of each character. This enables dynamic movement and rich emotional expression, and greatly expands the range of in-game production.


Mokemo Factory MONSTER PIXEL PACK Vol.3

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3611690/

The highly anticipated third installment of the pixel art monster sprite collection by pixel artist Mokemo. This pack includes 20 unique monsters, such as parasitic creatures, bizarre machines, spirits trapped by curses, and stuffed animals with a will of their own. Whether as formidable foes standing in the player's way or as trusty allies, incorporate these charming monsters into your work and breathe new life into your creations.

RPG Developer Bakin Primitive Village

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545830/

This DLC is a 3D asset pack that represents a mystical tribal settlement built on water. It includes numerous items that combine natural materials with tribal motifs, such as circular huts with thatched roofs, wooden pillars, ritual decorations made of skulls and bones, arches made of the bones of giant creatures, boats used for fishing and water transportation, and magical lighting effects. With its blend of simplicity and mysticism, this pack supports the creation of various scenes, including tribal villages, the ruins of forgotten civilizations, and mythical worlds.

RPG Developer Bakin PixelScape Desert Pack

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3611680/

This DLC is a pixel art-style 3D model resource pack themed around a desert town. Featuring warm, carefully crafted low-poly models that harmonize with the pixel art world, it includes traditional buildings made of stone and sun-dried bricks, markets, luxurious mansions with domes and minarets, temples, ruins, and monuments that evoke a sense of history and faith. Additionally, it offers various interior decorations and plants that can be used for indoor scenes. With a wide range of assets, you can freely recreate the landscape of a desert town.
