RPG Maker MV v1.3.0 is out!

1.3.0

Hey all! RPG Maker MV v1.3.0 is out! Be sure to grab it for the latest updates! Remember, just because you installed it doesn’t mean that the updated changes will be made to your already existing projects. To make sure the changes get followed through, follow these steps:

  1. Make a backup of your project.
  2. Make a backup of your Generator folder if you edited it.
  3. Create a new project or go to the NewData folder in your RPG Maker MV root folder. Copy the new js and index.html files (except plugins.js so it won’t overwrite your Plugin Manager Parameters) to your current project!
