Hi all,
We announced it last week, and now the Database Beta Update is finally here!
We have released an update for the branch "1.0.5-database"
If you wish to use the latest Database Beta Version update, please select “1.0.5-database” from the Beta tab.
We strongly recommend you to back-up your projects before proceeding to the update.
The default branch remains branch 1.0.4.
But that is not all!
As we understand that the Database Function can be a bit hard to use at first, our power-users Joe, Baz and Justus have prepared some help for you!
The update includes a new sample project featuring two mechanisms, one showing a puzzle mechanism and one showing a level-up system.
Baz and Justus have recorded videos to explain the Database, and you can find them here:
Baz tutorial (English with Japanese subtitles)
Justus tutorial (Simplified Chinese) (The tutorial will be released in a few hours)
With the release of the Database, we have achieved a milestone that will allow you to make deeper, more complex games. It is very exciting to see how you will use it!
However, please keep it mind it is still in Beta at this time and we are working hard on the final version.
In the final version of the database, we plan to facilitate the creation of plugins.
And as usual, if you have any questions, you can find us on the Steam Forums, the support mail address and Twitter!
Another announcement, we have a new free DLC: UNIVERS2020.

DotZo has made this project on Twitch (Japanese only) during the Digital Game Expo 2020, as a collaboration with Sprite Studio.
The new design of the heroine of Universe is very cute! Please have fun checking the mechanisms behind the boss!
Finally, as the year ends, we would like to wholeheartedly thank you for your support in 2020.
Everywhere in the world, 2020 has been a tough year, but we are so proud of what the PGMMV community has achieved!
Some of you have released a game, signed with publishers, made tutorials, guides, videos, helped others, participated in Jams and Contests using the engine, given feedback and suggestions... it was a year full of learning and full of surprises!
Our Customer Support team will take a break from December 28th, 2020 to January 4th, 2021 and we will be back next year to assist you!
Sorry in advance for the inconvenience, but please be sure that we can't wait to hear your feedback about the Database Beta version!
Happy Holidays!
