And how do we know that Yanfly didn't bow out of MV plugin making because of MZ and is already working on converting them all himself???
Timing would be about right ...

yeah people panicking over it lol. TBH it will remove a lots of 'please make it compatible with yanfly' pressure us plugin maker had to deal with. I remember people just trashing me because it wasn't compatible with yanfly's lol

but yeah the fundraiser was a pretty neat idea

nio kasgami

LOL yes he did tweeted something on twitter about where's the MZ wow...pretty suspicious kekek

Yanfly secretly working on stuff for MZ would certainly be a plot twist.

Are people still talking about that? I made my peace with it a while ago. I already had all his plugins, but I don't really use em if I can help it. Just write my own, it's good practice and I learn a ton.

I just hope someone out there figures out how to make the ideal ATB plugin, and not abandon support for it. Something that borrows all of the cool features from other peoples' ATB plugins and adds some more.

@nio kasgami no it won't stop the "please make it compatible" requests, because I expect just about all Yanfly plugins to be converted, in time.

nio kasgami

Yeahhhh lol I wouldn't be surprised and tbh as much I love Yanfly works....sometime I just don't know how to make it compatible haha

Yanfly bowed out of plugin-making largely because he was sick of community interaction, so I'd be surprised if he's converting his plugins to MZ. However, the fund that comes from his current paywall should, in theory, be used to create something similar to the excellent core of free plugins Yanfly released alongside MV:

As a counterpoint to the clamoring for a conversion of Yanfly's library - while his library was undeniably superb, we may be better off without it in MZ. It strangled the rest of the plugin-making community (unintentionally, I think) - very few other plugin makers could get recognition or buzz, and everyone demanded compatibility...

...with Yanfly's plugins. Many coders stopped bothering because their stuff wasn't being used, and in the end MV has a less diverse community of content than Ace had. A tabula rasa start for MZ doesn't seem so bad. I want to see more coders get rolling and become celebrated this time around.

At least now people will learn to code by themselves instead of pestering him everytime and expecting him to do everything for them. He is right about dropping, and if he doesn't want to return I believe his choice is totally justified.
He already gave a lot, even too much and deserves some peace of mind.

Yanfly was a goddamn saint and far better than we deserved. I can see how they cast a large shadow that made it difficult for other plug-in creators to stand out, but I don't think that was in any way, shape, or form malicious or intentional.

Dalph

I don't understand why some people panic if he won't return for MZ, he was undoubtedly the best, but there will be many new good coders around, and if there won't then it will be a good chance to start learning how to code.
Game Development is not a cakewalk and you can't expect others to do all the job for you.

nio kasgami

I think it's because of the massive library he did for MV (around 200?) but as he said all the script will be converted to the next engine by a group of people he funded. So their's no worry to be made tbh
