We are thrilled to announce the ISEKAI CREATORS project – a shared world and lore with an optional, purchasable game asset collection that welcomes anyone to create fanfiction for and expand upon!

Creating RPGs are difficult, due to writing a compelling backstory or worldbuilding being quite a time-consuming task. Through ISEKAI CREATORS, we seek to help creators kickstart this process by providing a free back world setting that anyone can borrow and expand on!

The lore of ISEKAI CREATORS was created by Takuji Endo from the FarEast Amusement Research Co.,Ltd. (aka F.E.A.R.). Endo is known as the mastermind of many TRPG lore and unique worlds for JRPGs. ISEKAI CREATORS’s lore is based on the genre of isekai (lit. otherworld – often about someone from the real-world drifting into a completely different world), currently popular in many Japanese manga and anime. The lore is designed in such a way with exciting, but just enough information to not deter the creativity and freedom of expansion for creators who wish to take part!
The ISEKAI CREATORS lore is now available for viewing today via the official site link below. Creators are welcome to create any contents based on it, and are not limited to video games (e.g. anime video, illustrations, novels, short-stories, etc.). There will be a professionally created, planned Official Asset collection available for purchase at a later date, for those who are do not wish to create assets from scratch. Any fan-creations made by individuals that are not merely direct modifications of the planned Official Assets can also be used for commercial purposes freely.

Hy-Brasil is an undeveloped continent located west of the well-developed Telepassa Continent. The land is known as a harsh land where powerful monsters are rampant, and civilization cannot be maintained without the protection from Force Barriers. Despite this, under the initiative of the Republic of Albion, thousands of adventurers gather here under the banner of "Pioneers' Guild" - seeking to uncover the legacy of ancient civilizations that cannot be reproduced with current technologies and explore the rich lands for the thrill of uncovering the unknowns.

The year is now 1722 of the Holy Calendar - a group of young men and women from an alternate realm arrived at the Frontier Point, each possessing unique abilities never seen to the dwellers of this world. What consequences will their arrivals bring? That is the story that we want creators to tell!

　While most of the assets are made under the presumption that they will be used for RPG Maker Unite in particular, the users are free to use these assets in other engines such as Unity, or create any other non-gaming contents such as fanfic videos, illustration, novels, etc.
There is also no limitation that users must use the assets according to the official lore. Also, like the official lore, commercial activity is allowed for personal uses given that users agree to the usage guidelines.

We are thrilled to announce that the Character Converter is now available on Steam!

Although originally intended to be used for the WIP RPG Maker Unite engine, the converter mini-app has many export resolution options that allow it to be used for existing RPG Makers titles as well. By releasing this app right during the currently running RPG Maker Festival 2023 Steam event, We wish to provide RPG Maker users with a means to quickly create new game assets and make game development more fun!

The Steam Page is as follows:

As was announced by us in the past, the default character sprite assets of RPG Maker Unite were made from VRM models and converted into 2D sprites. The RPG Maker 3D Converter is a mini-app that aims to turn a supposedly complex conversion process into something that anyone can use easily!


（Simply import VRM models and select the desired frames to be retained, and output with mere mouse clicks!）

（What is VRM: A platform-independent file format designed for use with 3D characters and avatars in the VR era. (Please refer to the VRM Consortium[vrm-consortium.org] for details))

The RPG Maker 3D Character Converter is compatible with any humanoid-type VRM models. As such, users can either create their own models using modeling software or generation apps such as VRoid Studio, as well as downloading/purchasing off the shelf from sharing sites such as VRoid Hub and various asset selling platforms(*) to be used for 2D sprite conversion. We greatly encouraged users try many models to make a more varied, vivid game world!


（VRM models made by various commercial apps or modeling software can be imported without issues. The above is an example made with VRoid Studio）

On the news page of RPG Maker 3D Character Converter, we have some exciting follow up news regarding this product.
Be sure to visit the 3D Character Converter's store page and check out the news there too!
