RPG Developer Bakin News

Hello everyone!
[h3]We have updated to Ver. 1.12.1![/h3]

The main addition this time is the “Convert to Internal Format (beta)” feature, which reduces game load times and game size.

This is the ability to pre-convert models and textures to a Bakin-optimized format. (The original resources are retained while the converted resources are newly added.)

This feature has the following advantages and disadvantages:

[Advantages]

• Speeds up the loading process during games.
  
• The memory used by the game is reduced.
  
• When exporting as a published work, game size is reduced by exporting only files that have been converted to the internal format.
  

[Disadvantages]

• Depending on your environment and the number of resources to be converted, the conversion may take a considerable amount of time.
  
• The size of the project folder will increase as it will now contain files converted to internal format.
  

Since this feature is being released as a beta version, we recommend that you check the “Backup the Entire Game File” checkbox in the dialog that appears when you turn on the feature and save the project data as an alias.

Please see the online manual for more details on this feature and other additions, improvements, and bug fixes.

We hope this update will help you to create a great game.
We will continue to improve “RPG Developer Bakin”.

RPG Developer Bakin will participate in the gaming culture event WePlay Expo in Shanghai!

[h3]Thanks to your support, we are celebrating our second anniversary! Major update Ver. 1.12 is released to add backlog feature and more.[/h3]

Hello everyone!
Many thanks to all of you, "RPG Developer Bakin" is celebrating two years since the Early Access version of the tool was launched on October 18, 2022!

We are grateful for your support, which helped us develop Bakin over the years. The entire development team would like to express our sincere gratitude!

To commemorate this second anniversary, we have released a major update Ver. 1.12, which adds a backlog feature, event skipping and other features.

Check out the main features first!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]RPG Developer Bakin Ver. 1.12 Update Overview[/h2]

- Backlog Function
It is now possible to create a backlog of conversations and message text displayed during the game that can be recorded and reviewed later.

In addition, the text can be set to be included only in the backlog, or conversely, the text can be set not to be included.



- Change Game Speed / Skip Events
Added the function to speed up/slow down the game progression, as well as a mechanism to skip events by taking advantage of it.
It is possible to skip events by speeding up the game triggered by an event switch or button input.

- Message Skipping
By pressing the Decide/Cancel button in conversation scenes, etc., the displayed text can now be displayed all at once up to the page feed.

- Movie Playback During Battles
Movies can now be called up during battles.
This allows the use of movies to visualize scenes of character interaction and skill activation during battles.

Many other features have been added and improved.
Please take this opportunity to challenge yourself to create a game with “RPG Developer Bakin”.
