For the Love of RPG Maker
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
A celebration of one dev's history with RPG Maker, in the form of a short RPG!
It's been a long time since Lilian, sword master and renowned hero, starred in her last story. With some encouragement from her ardent thief friend Dorothy, they embark on one final silly adventure, dragging a helpless RPG Maker dev along with them.
A short 2-3 hours RPG that looks back fondly at the old days of RPG Maker while also being very silly. Explore, talk to heroes of old, collect loot, slay monsters, and maybe confront that dark lord who has set up his base nearby.
Uses RTP graphics from RPG Maker 2000, 2003, XP, VX, VX Ace, MV and MZ. Made for the "I Love You, ____!" Game Jam on rpgmakerweb.com.

okay, I laughed at most of the dialogue and flavor text in this game, but the Rick dialogue about resizing characters really got me.
I had literally just complaining about doing so before playing this.
Great game, made me nostalgic about making games.
Hey, thanks so much, DungeonDevDude, I meant to reply to this right when you wrote it, got distracted, and now it’s like nearly two months later, ooops, sorry XD
Really glad you enjoyed the game, I had a lot of fun making it! :D Really makes me want to remake some old RPG 2k games!
Super cute game! Had a fantastic time. :D
This was super cute! The gameplay was fun, and I liked all the reminiscing, I haven't played any of your other games, but just hearing about the adventures makes me happy! I can picture them now...!
This is such a great idea for the game jam's theme!
A lovely little game. I recommend it to all RPG Maker veterans who are bound to find it relatable :)
Hi Unity 😇
Very fun game showing the life of one rpg game dev along characters and things from older rpg makers 💖💖💖💖💖
I only ever used VX Ace to try rpg maker and later bought MZ, I like a lot the characters size like Dorothy than the big head ones with MZ but I guess each rpg makers have their own strong points and weaknesses. 💞💞
OMG 2000
i've been using rm2k since elementary school and i never noticed that weird line on the top of the dark elf's face set. my whole life has been a lie
It’s very easy to miss! :D
I was today years old too. It's actually left over from the grim reaper's face set.
