A List of Videos on Various RPG Maker Games:
Last Updated: April 25, 2023
Like others I am a fan of the wonderful world on RPG Maker Games, some are more popular than others but at the end of the day, the community for this genre is very small. So once in a while you'll find someone talking about these games.
This list is like a master post of sorts holding a bunch of links to many videos on these games that were made in RPG Maker (Oneshot, Ib, Yume NIkki, Omori, OFF, etc). There are no "Lets Plays" in this list.
Suggestions to this list (Videos or a Game) is welcome since finding these videos in the first place are always a hidden gem!

Gay Goddess Anyone?
I made some gay sun and moon goddesses it was supposed to be for pride month, but I didn't finish in time. Then I procrastinated posting for months.
@poeticallydisgraced for being the person I spammed about all the colors and for listening to my info dumps.
Moon Goddess, Esmeray/Lysimachia
(2 names thing explained below the cut)
Deific Domain:
Moon
Night
Magic, all kinds, Mother of Magic
Death
Souls
Hunting
Winter weather, i.e. snow, ice, blizzards ect
Sky, split with the Sun, specifically nighttime sky
Stars(fall under the nighttime sky)
Autumn
Winter
Nature
Ocean + water
Wild animals
Poison/toxins + their medical applications
Has some level of control over all aspects of life not under the preview of the Sun.
I really liked that little crescent moon thing if you can't tell, I put it anywhere I could. Lots more info on her under the cut!
Sun Goddess, Herema/Iris
Deific Domain
Sun
Day
Art, Mother of the Arts
Music
Light
Weather, winter weather is the Moon's domain
Sky, split with the Moon, specifically daytime sky
Spring
Summer
Civilization
Agriculture
Medicine, some overlap with the Moon
Has some level of control over all aspects of life not under the preview of the Moon
She's the new head of this pantheon I am making, (these are the only two I have finished at the moment, got an ocean deity in the making). She is short, a lot shorter than Esmeray/Lysimachia. Very important detail. Smol lil fox birb goddess with tall cat bat deer goddess gf.
Esmeray/Lysimachia's weapons and shield
She made all of these herself, her bow and her spear were the first she created and her main weapons, her bow folds in. Her scythe hook things was made with assistance of a harvest deity friend of hers, and the shield she made herself too. The sword she made as a gift for Herema to protect herself with.
All of them are sacred symbols, mortals have ceremonial mimics of it to be used for different rituals. Basically they are used to ask for her favor in something under her preview.
Herema/Iris's stuff(she doesn't really have weapons)
Not pictured but her lantern is included as an important artifacts.
She forged her sun staff out of sunlight in her ascension process, it was to prove her abilities and control over her powers, the sun(and by association, the moon) is the most important deity in this pantheon, together they possess some level of control over every aspect of existence, the other deities have a more focused control over smaller domains. But a lot of other deities are older and more experienced than Herema/Iris.
Her lantern is something she made as a newly formed entity, before she was discovered by the other deities, she used it to light her way as she wandered around kinda aimlessly for a bit. Her lantern is a very important symbol, in festivals they hang up mimics of it all around to give a village the light of the sun during the night. She carries a tiny sun in her lantern because it's too bright/hot for others for her to take out.
I really love these two and this world I'm building, I wanna make an animation with O Sol e a Lua for them cause that's kinda their dynamic.
Now for world building and the two names thing explanation!
Each deity has a personal name and a public name.
Public names are what the other deity's call them and what they are called by the vast majority of mortals, their personal names are shared with select deities they are particularly close with, and very select groups of mortals or non god non mortal creatures, something like nymphs or fae and other spirits like that.
The vast majority of mortals do not know they are calling their gods the wrong names.
Lysimachia is moon's personal name, Iris is sun's personal name.
I'm working on more background history and world building stuff but I can give you some basics about the gays!
Lysimachia and Iris are relatively new gods, they didn't exist at the outset of creation, the sun and moon as celestial bodies existed but no deity had control or influence over them, they had no life, which the earliest gods thought was weird because everything had a spirit or some deity taking care of it.
In absence of a reason why this happened, the two deities who's domain was close enough took on those roles, even though they had no control and were essentially house sitting the positions while the other deities searched for their missing members.
Those deities were the main fire deity and the deity of the afterlife(Queen of the Dead), those two are some of the oldest and most powerful, so they could keep opportunists from trying to take a role that was clearly meant for someone else.
Thanks for reading my little info dump thing! This is an idea I really like and want to expand on more eventually, I've got the ocean deity sketched already now I've just gotta draw it digitally!
Thanks and goodnight!
