People outside of the VisuStella team are forbidden from porting over plugins from the Yanfly Engine Plugins library for RPG Maker MV to RPG Maker MZ.

This is a direct violation of the Terms of Service found here.

If you cannot abide by these terms, please delete the Yanfly Engine Plugins library from your computer and all of your game projects.

The Yanfly Engine Plugins library is NOT under MIT License. You cannot redistribute it.

This includes porting. Porting is a form of redistribution.

Redistribution is against the Terms of Use that you've agreed to upon downloading and using my plugins.

This is not hard to understand.

Regarding obfuscation:

Yes, it's obfuscated. Why? To prevent theft.

Not only that, many of the VisuStella MZ plugins contain code that are also used and borrowed from the programmers contracted to work on them. The code is also shared by their commercial products. The obfuscation is also there to protect their code as well.

If you plan on using the VisuStella library to learn how to code, then I recommend a better source: Codecademy

  • It's free.
  • It has game development courses.
  • It's free.
  • It teaches actual JavaScript.
  • It's free.
  • It's how some of the programmers on my team learned JavaScript in the first place.
  • Did I mention it's free?
