The RPG Maker Forums will now be getting official backups!
This is good news, but the publisher has shown that they will only do what’s (sorta) in the communities best interest after massive backlash.
Sucks to see an engine so beloved be mismanaged so poorly.
It is a moral failure of our country that we changed the rules to create a trillionaire while doing nothing about the 771,000 homeless and over 18 million who do not have enough to eat.
If you want to start learning RPGMaker while being able to easily access over a decade of discussion and solutions when you want to implement anything not baked into the program (99% of what you'll be doing) you should get into it now I guess 💀 Literally why
THIS IS WH
Wn
WHAT
LMAO WHAY?????
ARE THEY STUPID?????
HOW CAN YOU SHUT DOWN THE THING THAT KEEPS YOUR ENGINE FROM BECOMING AN ANCIENT TOOL OF UNKNOWN KNOWLEDGE????
It's straight up insane to design a new forum and have no plans to migrate any posts from the old one, especially one with well over a decade of indispensable resources like this.
According to a report from Automaton, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have narrowed their patent lawsuit against Palworld to older versions of the game. Court documents indicate the scope was revised in November 2025.
The change stems from several “preventive” updates by developer Pocketpair. Earlier patches removed the ability to summon Pals by throwing Pal Spheres and changed gliding so players now use a glider instead of riding Pals.
Pocketpair previously said these changes were made in response to the lawsuit to ensure the game’s continued development.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are still pursuing the case and seeking damages, but the dispute may now focus on mechanics from earlier builds rather than the current version of Palworld.
Hi Nekota was devved in RPGMaker VXAce and then MV
I would not have gotten the features in the current public demo in without help from the forums.
This will cause nothing but trouble for new devs as rpg maker is an accessible way to make your first game
Start hosting your own stuff. Rely less on the cloud across everything. This isn’t about having something to hide, it’s about basic rights to privacy.
It’s very easy to run a small home lab type setup with some basic services.
Protectli VP4670 + Proxmox hypervisor lets you run containers and VMs.
Then back up your data to multiple locations using restic. Offsite could be a parent’s house or a friend’s place.
THE UK JUST MADE PRIVACY A CRIME.
The government wants a scanner built inside every phone in the country.
Scanning every citizen becomes the law. Refusing becomes 5 years in prison.
- The scanners would inspect every photo, message and video on your device before encryption
- Signal threatened to leave the UK entirely rather than build the backdoor
- Europe's age verification app built to "keep children safe" was hacked in under 2 minutes
- Another verification system leaked 70,000 IDs and selfies in a single breach

RPG Maker’s official forums will shut down permanently on December 11, 2026.
When that happens, more than 14 years of community content will be deleted, including tutorials, guides, screenshots, images, attachments, and countless discussions that have helped RPG Maker users for years.
No official archive or backup has been announced.
For many developers, the forums have been an important source of knowledge. Some of this information cannot be found anywhere else.
Many images and files are hosted directly on the forums and could be lost forever once the site goes offline.
RPG Maker has announced it’s shutting down its official forums at the end of the year

Google Chrome 150 marks the end of full support for Manifest V2 extensions, effectively removing the remaining workarounds that allowed the original uBlock Origin to continue functioning in Chrome.
Starting with Chrome 150 (expected in late June 2026), Google will complete its transition from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3. This means the powerful webRequestBlocking API used by advanced extensions will no longer be available for normal Chrome extensions.
As a result, the original uBlock Origin will no longer work at full strength in Chrome. It relies on Manifest V2’s ability to inspect and block requests in real time.
Under Manifest V3, extensions must use declarativeNetRequest, which requires them to rely on predefined filtering rules instead of dynamic blocking. This improves security and performance according to Google, but it also limits what ad blockers can do, especially against complex ads and trackers on sites like YouTube.
The developer of uBlock Origin offers uBlock Origin Lite, a Manifest V3 version that still provides ad blocking but with the restrictions imposed by Chrome. Other ad blockers have also released Manifest V3 versions with similar limitations.
Users who want the full power of the original uBlock Origin can switch to Firefox, which continues to support Manifest V2 extensions, or use Brave, which includes built-in ad and tracker blocking.
Google has been gradually rolling out this change since 2024, and Chrome 150 marks the final step in that transition.
‼️ Google is about to disable all adblocker extensions in Chrome. Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best. This leads to weaker blocking and more ads getting through.
Google makes the vast majority of its money selling ads. The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers.
For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage. One user put it bluntly: "The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin."
