Feedback & Suggestions for the Editor (Linux + RPG Maker MZ Compatibility)

• Unknown 109 in Common Events (Linux-specific issue)

  • Sometimes, when browsing Common Events in the editor, an “Unknown 109” entry appears.
  • This does not happen in the original RPG Maker MZ editor.
  • It may be a Linux-specific issue, and while I have not confirmed whether it causes crashes, it appears to be an inconsistency or data parsing problem.

• Rendering issues when running from the editor (Linux)

  • When playtesting directly from the editor on Linux, there are noticeable rendering artifacts.
  • On maps, tiles sometimes show visible seams or incorrect borders, as if tilesets were not being rendered seamlessly.
  • Some visual elements appear broken or misaligned compared to the official MZ behavior.

• NW.js bundle issues

  • The bundled NW.js option does not work reliably.

  • In many cases, it still downloads NW.js even when a bundled version should already exist.

  • It would be beneficial to:

    • Allow selecting the NW.js version manually
    • Or default to automatically downloading the latest stable version
    • Improve consistency so it does not re-download unnecessarily

• Export/deployment path not saved

  • When selecting a custom default export/deployment path, the setting is not preserved.
  • After closing and reopening the editor, it resets to the default installation directory instead of the user-defined path.

• Deployment improvement: locale/language file management

  • It would be very useful to add an option during deployment to select which locale files to include.

  • RPG Maker MZ currently does not provide this level of control.

  • Example use case:

    • I only use Spanish and English (fallback)
    • Other languages are unnecessary for my project

  • Removing unused locales significantly reduces final build size (tens of megabytes in my case), so integrating this into the deployment pipeline would be a strong optimization.

• Reload / simulate browser restart shortcut (F5)

  • The “Reload Application / Simulate Browser Restart” feature is excellent and very useful during development.
  • Adding a keyboard shortcut (F5) would greatly improve workflow speed.
  • F5 is a standard shortcut in most development environments, so this would feel intuitive and natural.

• Fullscreen support for the editor

  • Since the editor appears to be built with Electron, it should support native fullscreen mode.
  • Adding F11 to toggle fullscreen would improve usability significantly.
  • This would be especially helpful for map editing, event scripting, and working on smaller screens.

• AppImage distribution for Linux

  • Providing an AppImage version of the editor would greatly improve Linux usability.

  • Benefits:

    • No installation complexity
    • Portable executable
    • Easier updates and testing across distributions

  • This would make the Linux experience much more consistent and accessible.

• Built-in asset compression during bundling

  • It would be very valuable to integrate asset optimization directly into the export/bundle process.

  • Suggested optimizations:

    • PNG compression using Oxipng

      • Lossless optimization of images
      • Reduces project size without affecting visual quality

    • OGG audio optimization

      • Automatic compression of audio assets during build
      • Better balance between quality and file size for BGM and SFX

  • Benefits:

    • Smaller final game size
    • Better runtime performance (less loading overhead)
    • No need for external manual optimization tools
    • More streamlined one-click deployment workflow

• Overall suggestion

  • These improvements would significantly enhance the workflow, especially for Linux users and indie developers.
  • The main goal is to reduce friction, automate optimization steps, and improve consistency between development and final builds.
