Creature Capture Plugin for RPG Maker MZ

Creature Capture Plugin for RPG Maker MZ

Create an immersive creature-capturing experience with this plugin for RPG Maker MZ. This plugin enables essential gameplay features for a creature-focused RPG, including capturing, battling, and storing creatures, all optimized for a 360x640 resolution (2x scaled). While designed with simplicity in mind, this plugin provides a robust foundation for your creature-catching mechanics, with straightforward setup and an example project to guide you.

Key Features (PAID):

• Battle System: 1v1 battles that allow party members to switch in - wild or against others with creatures of their own.
• Capture System: a dynamic creature-capture system that will create new actors on the fly.
• Storage System: Store and withdraw your creatures effectively in game.
• Overworld: the overworld character is separate from the party members.
• Enemy Classes: Enemies require a class and level specification, allowing the classes to be re-used for enemy creatures.
• Simple UI: a cleaner interface for menus (Supports MP display only)
• Text: sharp, non-blurry text.
• Grass: easy animated grass (must be region 1 to 10)
• Leges: easy ledges (must be region 32, 33, 34 for left, down, right - respectively)
