Hi everyone — let's celebrate!

RPG Maker MV turned 10 years old — a decade of creativity, unforgettable projects, and a thriving community. To honor that milestone, I'm excited to introduce RPG Player. A sleek HTML5 game player designed to present and play games like an online media player — fast to embed, easy for players, and friendly for developers and publishers.

What is RPG Player?

RPG Player is a ready-made HTML5 game player UI that wraps any compatible game engine output and presents it like a modern web media player. Think of it as a lightweight player chrome for games: cover art, play controls, virtual gamepad, and display modes — all out of the box.

Why you’ll love it

• Instant professionalism: adds a familiar, polished UI around your game so players jump right in.
• Minimal setup: drop the required files on your server and point to your game assets — no extra coding required.
• Engine-agnostic: works with any HTML5-based game engine or exported build that uses standard web technologies.
• Flexible licensing: place on personal pages or commercial websites.

Key features

• Cover art screen shown before the game loads, perfect for branding and first impressions.
• Playback controls: Play, Reload, Stop, Fullscreen, and Volume control — all with keyboard and touch support.
• Built-in virtual gamepad for touch devices — out-of-the-box on-screen controls so mobile players can play comfortably.
• Zero-code integration for RPG Maker MV: load the player and the required files and your game runs — no plugin or extra scripts necessary.
• Automatic orientation adaptivity: the player intelligently adapts its layout between landscape and portrait modes, optimizing controls and viewport for mobile devices.
• Embed anywhere: designed to be placed on personal sites, storefronts, or commercial pages.
• Engine support: compatible with any HTML5 game engine that delivers a standard web build (Canvas, WebGL, etc.).

Designed for creators and publishers

RPG Player was built to make it easy to present playable demos, host full builds, and provide a consistent experience across devices:

• Fast preview for playtesters and press.
• Demo pages for marketplaces and portfolios.
• Player template for web kiosks or storefront hero sections.

Accessibility & UX

• Touch-friendly controls and virtual gamepad for mobile players.
• Automatic orientation adaptivity: layout and controls adapt automatically when the device orientation changes (landscape ↔ portrait), giving a comfortable play experience on phones and tablets.
• Volume control and mute for quick testing and user comfort.

Commercial & distribution

• Suitable for personal portfolios, promotional pages, and commercial storefronts.
• Minimal dependencies and lightweight assets to keep page load fast.
