RPG Maker’s official forums will shut down permanently on December 11, 2026. When that happens, more than 14 years of community content will be deleted, including tutorials, guides, screenshots, images, attachments, and countless discussions that have helped RPG Maker users for years. No official archive or backup has been announced. For many developers, the forums have been an important source of knowledge. Some of this information cannot be found anywhere else. Many images and files are hosted directly on the forums and could be lost forever once the site goes offline.
