What its rules say about promotion
No legally-protected IP without permission
Legally-protected IP should not be posted to the subreddit. This includes ripped assets from commercial games or media that includes other legally-protected IP materials (e.g., screenshots, videos).
No Low-Effort Promotional Posts
Posts advertising a resource or service must include original content showing it in action. A naked link to your itch.io page is not a post, it's a classified ad, and Craigslist is free. Show a video of your plugin working, a map built with your tileset, a clip of your music in a game. Get creative. Reposting the same ad weeks later with a fresh coat of paint is also not new content. If you're posting about it again, show us something we haven't seen.
AI Disclosure Required for Paid Content
All posts promoting paid resources or games must include an AI-disclosure tag. The tags are: **"AI Free"**, **"AI Art/Music"**, or **"Vibecoding"**. No tag, no post. If the community provides proof you left it off on purpose, enjoy your ban. Free projects are encouraged to tag but won't be removed if they don't. Screenshots, tech support, and dev updates don't need a tag. If you see untagged AI art in a WIP screenshot and it bothers you, downvote and move on.
All 7 rules of r/RPGMaker
- No personal attacks
Critiquing screenshots, videos, music, animations, and gamedev ideas is allowed. However, do not make personal attacks or make denigrating comments on the personal nature of subreddit posters and commentes. - No legally-protected IP without permission
Legally-protected IP should not be posted to the subreddit. This includes ripped assets from commercial games or media that includes other legally-protected IP materials (e.g., screenshots, videos). - Keep It About Games
This is a gamedev subreddit. If someone said something awful on Discord or Twitter or a Portuguese F1 forum, that sucks, but it's not our jurisdiction. If they're not saying it here, take it up with them somewhere else. Downvote and move on. - No Low-Effort Promotional Posts

General opinions on AI and its role in RPGMaker belong in the pinned megathread, not in standalone posts. Pro-AI, anti-AI, all welcome. Someone's opinion can be dogshit, but the person is not dogshit. If your sentence starts with "You are…" you're doing it wrong. - No media of fan-games using legally-protected IP
We cannot allow media of fan-games using legally-protected IP, regardless of whether it's a recolor, a custom form, or otherwise modified.
