RPG Maker Forum Shutting Down: 14 Years of Content at Risk!

It isn’t only the projects of emerging developers that stand to be lost; a host of celebrated indie titles—such as OFF, Omori, Corpse Party, Fear & Hunger, Ao Oni, and Yume Nikke—were built on various iterations of RPG Maker. The developmental histories of these games are meticulously archived in the RPG Maker Forum, making the platform’s potential disappearance a real threat to the preservation of indie gaming heritage.

Fortunately, the situation has not gone entirely unnoticed. Gotcha Gotcha Games has issued a six‑month warning, giving the RPG Maker community ample time to safeguard its valuable archives. In a proactive move, a dedicated fan has already reached out to the r/DataHoarders subreddit, seeking assistance to ensure that the forum’s content is fully preserved for future generations.
