RPG Maker U2U has been officially revealed which will allow users to create HD-2D-style games. Called "P2D" (Perspective 2D), users can create 3D depth and rich effect expression to conventional 2D maps. 2D assets from previous RPG Maker titles can be used as map tiles for decoration, and more... than 100 ready-to-use P2D maps are included. #rpgmakershow more

the amount of professional h games with a corruption system this bad boy will create...

rpg maker horror devs are about to go crazy with this. imagine ib or the witch's house remade with perspective 2D depth. the horror genre carried this engine for years and now they get even more tools

I can already smell the slop that will be created with this, especially on f95

HOLY this is a new era of eroge games incoming before our eyes

@Notrazehide Ah yes. Imagine the massive amount of RPGM eroge that is soon to flood the market.

We doing another Corpse Party 1 remake?

>no true 3D >no real-time combat system out of the box

Can't wait to see the crazy Pokemon fan games the community will cook with this.

I applaud them for doing this, but I'd prefer it be an extension to existing RPG makers that have mod support.

Let's hope it's a good engine so the community can rally behind it. A lot of what makes RPG Maker is the community support imo

Barely translated bug-ridden on the edge of being legal H-games after these news:

Close enough Welcome back Mode 7

First time I saw something similar in a game was Octopath travelers. Really enjoyed that game.

future eroges gonna be lit

hd2d h-games

my time has come

pokemon fangames about to go crazy with this one

well already possible with @RPGPaperMaker which is free

sadly, no-one will use it because it is again unity based. not that unity is bad - it's not! but did they learn nothing from the mess last time? rip rm, you were a good engine once

I'm assuming this is to contend with RPG Developer Bakin and jump on the 3D-2D trend. Might give it a go if it reviews well.

I wonder if there's a way to convert older RPGM maps to this P2D stuff? There's like...a bazillion eroge that I'd like to see that way.

@Skyflyer_R esto para los fangames de Pokémon puede ser un cambio de paradigma no? Si se pueden usar los assets de previos RPG Makers crees que se podrá pasar el essentials o me estoy fumando un porro?

@TheTopTierGoon I'm good. I'll stick with MV and MZ. At least they're still getting plugin support lol. Honestly I already have enough trouble with 2D. I don't need to try to wrap my mind around 2.5D as well.

I wish it was easier to swap out the RPGmaker assets for smaller assets.

Los eroges que se vienen 🔥 Ya no dará pereza los combates aleatorios

Who came up with this style, it's the ugliest 2d style I've ever seen.

Looking good so far.

rpg maker has shipped more real games than every ai game engine that raised millions combined

Wow, playing pokemon would be nice in this rpgmaker

Me vuelvo loco 😍😍😍

Any previews of enemy sprites on map? It looks good for a little classic SMT homage project.

Now can I make the camera rotate like Xenogears and make sprites rotate in 3d.

remake de black souls 1 y 2 plz

This is 2026, and you guys cannot make it better than BAKIN? Not buying it

This is in Unity...I guess I should learn that engine too. 🥹
