Enhanced "Selection" Panel & 3D Sound! Update Ver.1.15 Released!

[h3]Hello everyone!
We have released Ver. 1.15 today!
[/h3]

This update introduces a variety of new features to make game creation deeper and more flexible than ever!
These additions are designed to help you craft richer stories and more immersive worlds.

Now, let’s look at the main new features!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Main Features Added and Improved in Ver. 1.15[/h2]

[h3]- Enhanced Selection Panel[/h3]
We've added several highly requested features, including branching based on cancel button input and the ability to use variables as display conditions.

These improvements allow you to tailor choices more precisely to each scene, making it easier to create more complex and immersive story developments.


[h3]- Variable Support for Layout Part Display Conditions [/h3]
You can now specify variables as display conditions for submenu containers and render containers.

By combining multiple variables, you can flexibly control your UI, for example, showing elements only when specific conditions are met.

This gives you the freedom to design a more refined and dynamic user interface, limited only by your creativity.


[h3]- Simplified 3D Sound Mode[/h3]
Bakin features a 3D sound engine capable of reproducing binaural audio through regular speakers.
This engine simulates how humans perceive sound with both ears, allowing for realistic depth and directionality—ideal for immersive audio experiences like ASMR.

In this update, we've added a simplified mode that applies positional information only through basic left-right speaker panning.

You can also configure attenuation methods and set custom start and end distances, giving you greater control and flexibility in sound design.

[h3]- Variable List[/h3]
The "Variable Used" feature has been upgraded into a full-fledged Variable List dialog.

Now, you can select a variable from the list to instantly see where it's being used—reversing the previous workflow.

In addition, you can now add or delete variables directly within this dialog, making variable management significantly more efficient.

[h3]- Party Train Spacing[/h3]
We've added a new feature that allows you to adjust the spacing between cast members when moving in the party train—something that was previously fixed.


For details on other update contents, please check the online manual or go to "Update Log" in the "Info & Tips" section of Bakin's Top Menu.

We are pleased to announce that Bakin will release its official release on August 28.

As we move toward the official release—and beyond—we will continue to add new features and make ongoing improvements.

Our team is committed to evolving this tool so you can fully enjoy creating games that bring your imagined worlds, original characters, and carefully crafted systems to life.

Thank you for your continued support!

We hope this update helps you create even more amazing games.
Make the most of the new features and turn your world into a game!

    Showcasing User-Made Plugins & Now Calling for Plugin Submissions!

    [h3]Hello everyone! [/h3]

    Thank you for enjoying creating games with “RPG Developer Bakin”.

    Even without programming knowledge, anyone can create games using "RPG Developer Bakin". However, by utilizing C# plugins, you can unlock a much wider range of features and effects.
    We, the development team, are truly grateful to the many creators around the world who continue to develop and share amazing plugins.
    At the same time, we’ve felt that the lack of a centralized place to view plugin information may be preventing these valuable resources from reaching those who need them most.

    To address this, we’ve added a new "Plugin Information List" to the official website.
    This list features plugin information submitted by creators through a dedicated form, and we will publish the content in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

    We hope this initiative helps more people discover and share the C# plugins you’ve created.
    We would greatly appreciate your support in registering your plugin information!

    Also, if you're interested in exploring what C# plugins can do, we encourage you to check out the list. While it’s still in the early stages and doesn’t have many entries yet, we hope it becomes a helpful resource for your game development journey.
