RPG Maker MV version 1.5.0 Update

1.5.0

The RPG Maker MV 1.5.0 update is out.

Seems like a lot of new functions have been added and some of the old ones are now obsolete. I’ll run some various tests with my plugins to see if they’re still compatible. So until then, hold on tight before updating to 1.5.0.

UPDATE: Based off what I can see for now, the update is stable for the most part. However, the new image reservation system will allow maps, battles, and such to load before all the images are ready. The new image reservation system, based off what I can see, also loads images a lot slower than the old system, though I image the reservation system has mostly been updated for the sake of mobile devices. I’ll have to see what I can do to remedy this.

Other than that, moving to MV 1.5.0 should be safe! Green light lit. 😀
