I am about to publish my first game. (Excited dev noises) I am putting together a trailer for it and would love to use the music from the game but I can't find any info on whether I can use their music in the trailer or not. Since it is for an RPG Maker game I assume it is okay , but I wanted to check before I violate any copy right. Thank you!

if you own rpg VX(ace) in original license, than I think it can be used for game trailer.

all RPG-Maker RTPs (sound and art) are licenced to be used in RM-Games only and only if you purchased both the maker where the RTP comes from and the maker where the game is made with.
If you follow that rules, that includes promotional material like screenshot and videos as long as the material comes from an RM-Game and cannot be used without that game.

So 2 general rules when it comes to RTP resources from RPG Maker:
  1. All RTP resources can only be used in RPG Maker games (any of the RPG Maker engine).
  2. You can use RTP assets from a specific RPG Maker engine if you own legally that engine.
So effectively, you can only use for example VX Ace RTP assets in RPG Maker 2003/XP/VX/VX Ace/MV/Visual Novel Maker if you own RPG Maker VX Ace. Anything besides those engine is a no go.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
