RPG Maker MZ has updated to version 1.7.0. As far as I can tell, everything should be working (haven't checked TileD).

The NodeJS version has been reverted to a previous version. However, in the event that an infinite loading screen occurs, follow the instructions on the Steam page.

I repeat, do NOT Update to RMMZ 1.6.0 Yet! At the moment, there's a lot of mentions where games simply don't load anymore until they reverted back to a previous version. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Update: Upon further inspection, these errors aren't plugin related either. Playtest doesn't work even in vanilla projects for some devices. Once again, don't update to version 1.6.0 until they have everything fixed and squared away. 2022 November 24 Updates Changing to Monthly We'll be changing our update schedule from weekly updates to monthly. 2022 October 18 RPG Developer Bakin Editor Early Access Review by Yanfly These are Yanfly's thoughts on the Early Access for RPG Developer Bakin, the new game engine on the block. 2022 June 2 Hello Again everyone! 1590+ Character and Monster designs, 288 of them Animated, and counting, Thanks for your support during a tough period!

Yanfly Engine Plugins Terms of Use Update The following clause has been added to the Terms of Use For context on what is considered "the scope of game projects", this means anything that is made with the intention of it being played by players for all sorts. If it is a "game template" made only for RPG Maker users to learn from, that does NOT qualify as a game project, and the plugins from the Yanfly Engine Plugins library cannot be redistributed as a result of that. If you have a game template project for redistribution that currently contains the Yanfly Engine Plugin library's contents, remove the Yanfly Engine Plugins from that game template project. VisuStella MZ Terms of Use Article 4 The above in-depth explanation is now linked from the VisuStella MZ Terms of Use. For those wondering why these updates have been added, it's because some users are attempting to breach the redistribution clause by creating a loophole with "game templates" when their main intent is the redistribution of the plugins themselves. 2020 August 20 VisuStella Sample Project 2020 August 10 How to Install Plugins 2020 June 26 MZ Plans for Plugins & Ports 2020 June 6 Itch.io plugin pages down Thanks for alerting us that some of the pages for the YEP plugins are down on itch.io.
