Hi all! Below you can see all of the updates Casper Gaming released in March 2026, in case you missed any of them. You can also get notifications when an update occurs in the Casper Gaming Discord or by following me on various social media.

New Releases

[CGMZ] Battery - Provides access to the Battery Manager Web API so you can check the player device battery charge level and whether it is currently charging. You could use this to reduce more intensive effects to help save battery if it is low, or for more experimental mechanics indie games are known for.

[CGMZ] Reward Select - Provide UI for selecting one reward from multiple options. It can currently handle item, weapon, and armor rewards and different option amounts such as 2 reward possibilities, 3 reward possibilities, etc. Almost everything in the UI is customizable, including color coding the windows for items / weapons / armors.

[Map Pack] House Interior Pack 1 - This pack includes 5 normal house interiors all in the same style to fit within the same town or village. You could use this to provide house interiors for your town. Each house is varied with some having more bedrooms while others may have a bigger entertainment area in the living room.

[BGM] Heave The Rocks - A looping BGM meant for a canyon area in your game, this could fit either a canyon town or a canyon dungeon the player must navigate to get between two areas. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bgm-heave-rocks-152182552

Alpha Plugin Updates

[CGMZ] Jukebox - You can now show undiscovered tracks in the jukebox, allowing your player to see any missing tracks they have not yet collected and optionally some hints towards how to unlock them. It also added a stop button as an option, to stop the current jukebox track. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cgmz-jukebox-131965628

[CGMZ] Equip Conditions - A new condition was added, the item condition. This conditions means the player must have item(s) in their inventory before they can equip certain gear. It also allows you to show unequippable gear in the equip scene list if you want, to help explain to your players that the character can wear that item but they are missing some condition. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cgmz-equip-143539864

[CGMZ] Conditional Choices - This plugin was updated to add the [CGMZ] Quest System quest status as a condition for your choices, so you can now make choices only appear if the player is on the relevant quest or after a quest has been completed / failed, etc. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/plugin-cgmz-on-153553730

[CGMZ] Conditional Drops - Likewise, you can now make drops only drop based on [CGMZ] Quest System quest status. This means you can make quest items only drop while the player is on the quest, for example. Or you can make more powerful items start to drop as a reward for completing a quest. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/70695498

[CGMZ] Scan - You can now have multiple scan skills. If you want a basic and cheap scan that only reveals hp/mp and a more advanced and costly scan that reveals everything, you can now do that. There are many ways you can differentiate scans including scan single enemy vs scan all enemies. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cgmz-scan-106105822

[CGMZ] Item Popup - You can now add certain items that are always immune from showing the item popup. I also added an integration with [CGMZ] Rumble so you can rumble the controller when an item popup occurs. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cgmz-item-popup-114134301

[CGMZ] Quest System - This plugin now offers the option of automatically removing objective items when that objective is auto-tracked and it becomes completed. This can ensure your player loses the 10 wood they collected for the objective to collect 10 wood. A [CGMZ] Rumble integration was also added, so you can rumble the controller when a quest is completed or failed. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/52804166

[CGMZ] Hooks - This plugin was updated for mouse enter / leave hooks, so you can now make things happen when the player moves their mouse over or away from the game window. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/79987888

[CGMZ] Quality of Life - A new Freebie mechanic was added. This allows your player to sometimes get a free copy of an item they use. For example, your player may use a Potion and have a 20% chance to receive a free Potion, allowing them to stretch their items a bit further. Each item can have its own chance for a freebie and you can also integrate this with [CGMZ] Difficulties so only certain difficulties add this mechanic. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cgmz-quality-of-134899674

Beta Plugin Updates

[CGMZ] Battle BGM Control - This plugin is new to Beta! The beta version comes with additional BGM statistic tracking, so you can now know which BGM was played most/least often, how many times each BGM has been played, and more. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/73309682

[CGMZ] Remove Touch - This plugin is also new to Beta! The beta version added switches for your touch parameters, allowing you to turn on or off touch through switches in your events. You may use this if you do want touch to work, but not during some kind of puzzle where it may trivialize the puzzle, for example. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cgmz-remove-140146007

[CGMZ] Rumble - An integration with [CGMZ] Options was added so you can now add an option for your player to control if they encounter rumbles in their game to the options screen. This update also added a way to skip the switch check where it makes sense, such as before the title screen where switch values are not yet set. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cgmz-rumble-95290702

Free Updates

[CGMZ] Core - The monthly core update added a disposable video class that is being used to show multiple videos temporarily on screen. A few additional options were also added such as the ability to automatically add spaces after label parameters across my plugins, mouse enter / exit listeners, and more. As a reminder, you should always try to keep the core up to date because a lot of my plugin features depends on the core for implementation. Link: https://www.caspergaming.com/plugins/cgmz/core/

[CGMZ] Vehicle Encounters - Troop weights were added, so you can now make certain troops more or less likely to be encountered on your vehicles. The higher the weight, the more likely it is to be encountered. When you update to this version, due to changes in the troop data, you will need to set up your vehicle encounter troops again. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-vehicle-encounters

[CGMZ] Vehicle Landing Restrictions - You no longer have to use Region IDs for your landing restrictions, you can now also use Terrain Tags. This may help if you have to use region ids for other things on your maps that you want to add landing restrictions for. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-vehicle-landing-restrictions

[CGMZ] Professions - This plugin can now show a video in the profession info window, which will be played at volume 0 on repeat to emulate how a gif would appear. You can use this to show a gif preview of what your profession is capable of. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-professions

[CGMZ] Screenshots - This plugin can now also play a Sound Effect when a screenshot is taken. This can provide feedback to the player that the screenshot was successfully taken. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-screenshots

[CGMZ] Splash Screen - You can now rumble the controller during your splash screens. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-splash-screen

[CGMZ] Crafting - You can now make it so the player must return to their crafting stations to collect items crafted at that station. Various quality of life updates were included, such as plugin commands to discover recipes in batch and to check if a recipe is discovered. Some bugs were also fixed. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-crafting

[CGMZ] Holidays - Added more options for when automatic holiday checking occurs. Previously this was always enforced at map load. However, you can now opt to make holidays checked only manually, at map load, or at save game load. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-holidays

[CGMZ] Extra Stats - The divider line item now always takes up its own line and causes the previous / next line items to also not overlap with it. Before, you had to be a bit more careful and use the Blank Line option in some scenarios of adding a divider to get it to display correctly. Link: https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-extra-stats

Other

[Tool] Casper Gaming's Plugin Protector - This tool was updated to add native Linux support, and also to work with the MV Linux deploy option. It also added built-in help documentation, version info, and helpful links to Casper Gaming official websites and social medias. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/casper-gamings-151125694

[Graphics] Casper Gaming Icon Set - The Casper Gaming IconSet was updated with 200+ clothing icons for every day clothes such as t-shirts, dresses, hats, boots, and more. This is not meant to be armor, but civilian clothes. Link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/casper-gaming-140870082

Discord - Discord has started to put some features behind server boosts, and Casper Gaming could use a few more server boosts to unlock these features. An example of what we can unlock is the Server Tag [CGMZ] you can now rock next to your Discord name in all servers. However, I don't like asking for boosts for nothing in return so I have decided to offer rewards if you boost the Casper Gaming Discord Server. These are:

Server Booster rank and access to Server Boosters channel in Discord (you get this automatically when boosting the server)

Your name in the Discord Server Boosters section on my Thanks page

Your own character in the RMMZ Academy basement

Gifted access to the $1 tier on patreon (allows voting in all polls, early access to some BGMs, friend rank in Discord, name in Patreon Friends part of Thanks page). Note that if you already subscribe to a higher tier of the patreon you will not be eligible for this due to how patreon gifting works. Since this is a manual process for me, you must keep claiming this every month that you want it.

In case you did not know, if you are a Discord Nitro subscriber you have access to 2 free server boosts. If you are not already in the discord, you can join at the following link: https://discord.gg/Gbx7JXP

Thanks for being a part of the Casper Gaming community 😁 Happy RPG Making!
