Community14 Aug 2026Dragon Leaf is Coming Along NicelyThe show inside of Dimensional Gates, Dragon Leaf, is getting a second season, and it's coming along nicely. But with Water's Bounty in development as well, I am super excited to work on that as well. That game is a huge amount of programming just to get the system up and running, and that's what I love to do. Figuring out how to program AI and supply and demand economy systems is what I thrive…
Not Allowed to Die Gaming Studios is extremely proud to announce we are working on a new game called Water's Bounty. Water's Bounty is a game I've always wanted to make. It's based off Uncharted Waters, and is a naval battle, trading economy, and JRPG all tied into one. We only started work on this project a few days ago, but have already created a whole entire enemy AI system that will play th…
Even though working on the new game, I have two episodes of Dragon Leaf down. Just 7 more to go. While doing that yesterday, I was able to also add a ton to the new game as well. When you first start the game, it will ask if you want a Male or Female main character. I've added systems to check your boat where if you press the page down button, it will tell you the boat's remaining Hull, Cargo S…
I just thought you all might want to see the progress on the new game. This is only the first 48 hours of programming it, and even planning it out, but I have a ton already done. In this video, you will notice the enemy doesn't work yet until the player's ship gets within a one block range. That is because I have not been able to program the blocks outside of that range yet. But once done, it w…
Carabina unfortunately needs more switches than I have available. I've already used almost all of the 5,000 switches the engine allows. I am looking into expanding the amount of switches, but because of the size of Dimensional Gates and the two other games inside of it, I have to be super careful adding any plugins that do this as well. Because of this, I am working on a new game that uses the…
Added a ne boss. Like the Weapons in FF7, Ranoren is a powerhouse you won't want to tackle without a New Game Plus or two under your belt first. Ranoren is an ex-Grand Demon from Cerabum that became so powerful, Moria and the rest of the demons trapped him on an island in the Northwest corner of their world. Having an immense HP and being terribly strong with powerful magic and skills, Ranoren…
Added New Game Plus options to make the Shadow Squad overpowered when on their own. They will still be the same when Doller meets them, but in the scenes they fight demons on their own, they will be boosted with new weapons and armor if you purchase them. I am also looking into adding more Archery Skills to Yosei as well. Just give me some time to figure out where he learns them. I want to add…
I've been going back and testing out and redesigning the New Game Plus a bit. When you buy Yosei's Class and save it, and if he's a Cleric as well, the images and dialog he has in the entire game changes. Instead of being a thief that is cynical, he's a cleric that is more optimistic. Yosei still doesn't trust because of his past, but he acts differently. In this as well, he isn't offended at a…
I am sorry that updates are taking so long, but my dog Ellis died about two weeks ago, and it's stopped my progress completely for the time being. Ellis was 14 and a half and lived a good life. It was just his time, but it's still hard to go through. I promise to bring you all more expansions to Dimensional Gates, but it might take me some time after losing him. Since it only took me 15 months…
People I know asked me why didn't I use all of the flash that they see on a lot of newer RPG Maker games. There is a really great reason for that. I tried to add some of it, like lighting I can control, or overlays that give weather and fog effects. But each of them had issues. These are plugins that make a game either lag badly, or it messes with the switch and variable logic gates. I refuse t…
Fixed an old common event I was using to exit Imminent Distress and replaced. I removed the older one that was still being turned on where it was causing the fast travel on the airship to ask if you wanted to exit the game. Being that Imminent Distress is on an artificial console inside of the game, I have to makes sure none of the programs that run the games on that console bleed through into…
Only 24 hours left for Imminent Distress release. Imminent Distress is a survivor/survival horror game that is on the PC in the airship. You crash landed on a strange planet, and a strange creature is hunting you. Can you find the materials you need to boost the distress signal and get help? Beating Imminent Distress will unlock the Crystal Pick in Dimensional Gates that can break purple crysta…
Adding item and accessories to the game that the Crystal Pick inlocks. Each dimension has one purple crystal that has to be destroyed to gain access to items from the video game Imminent Distress in the world of Dimensional Gates. Can you find all four of them? Space Helmet - Wearer gains protection to Def and Mag Def, but also immune to certain ailments that are considered airborne Scanner - P…
Patches to a soft lock in Ramport at night at the Inn - I apologize again, somehow a copy of the singer from the bar ended up in the Inn's nighttime map. Not sure how it happened, but this is why I am testing again right now. QOL updates as well - Fixed a few dialog and moved an Achievement around Getting ready for the Imminent Distress release in a few days and dropping locations where the Cry…
Fixes for when you watch the TVs it now resets the text box back to the right size. Made the Nightmare a bit slower Added the game to ask if you want to save after long Chapter intros Preparing for the Imminent Distress release in a few days
I am so sorry that I missed this, but the Hell Fire in the mansion in Chapter 3 was setup to use the wrong one. This most likely has made the game completely impossible to play past that part, and that is on me alone. It took me 15 months to put this giant game together, and I had to test it many times over and over again as well. I must have missed this on the last run through when I boosted t…

Right now we are on RPG Maker Festival's page stream a pre-recorded stream of the solo Dev, David Listzwan, beating the end of Chapter 7, and the game as well. Watch him navigate the Mall at the end, and beat the BBG you never expected. If you weren't sure you wanted Dimensional Gates, you will now.
We added an Extra in the game's folder. It's a video to thank you for your purchase from the Dev David Listzwan. In your Library, go to the settings (gear icon), then go to Manage and Browse Local Folder. There you will find a folder called EXTRA - Thank You Video from the Dev. We also smoothed out the blue faced Mystic's Leader's dialog image.

Go to the game's Steam Library page, and click on the gear(settings), and go to manage, then Browse Local Files. This should take you right to the folder that contain the Windows Icons Folder. Again, sorry we forgot to add that to the release.

That's right! We made it into the RPG Maker Festival this year. Just 5 days after Dimensional Gates releases, we are going to be in one of the best festivals out there. Gotcha Gotcha Games, the creators of RPG Maker MV that was used to create this game, are having a huge worldwide festival to celebrate RPG Maker games and Devs. We're hoping with all of the innovation and concepts used in Dimens…
We thought we would share a few things prior to the release. First off, we will be doing a broadcast loop of the game being played by the Dev David Listzwan starting right at release and hopefully looping for 48 hours. Dimensional Gates, the Soundtrack, and the Collector's Edition all release at 2:00 UTC on February the 4th UTC Conversion Chart: UTC−10 — Hawaii (USA) - 16:00 February 3rd - 4:00…
We've added a house you can buy in Thena that allows Doller to grow certain plants that can help her magical power. You have 5 slots to grow these plants that can help you in battle or on the field. Once you enter the house for the first time, chests all over Thena will magically appear that contain seeds in them. There are three types of seeds, Kokora, Ponin, and Myrin. Planting them starts a…
