Stopbar Minigame

Hello! Thank you very much for your interest in our plugin:
Stopbar Minigame.

Before we continue, we would like to remind you that all of our plugins work within the environment:   
RPG Maker MZ ↔ PC Windows ↔ NWJS

If you use other platforms or devices, we cannot guarantee correct operation because unfortunately we have no way to test them. Please keep this in mind before proceeding.

Below you’ll find more details about what this plugin offers.

Plugin Overview

FULL-EXPERIENCE MODE

Plugin Details: Stopbar Minigame

With this plugin you can add a simple yet engaging timing-based minigame to your RPG Maker MZ project.

A moving arrow travels along a bar, and players must press a button at the right moment when the arrow is inside the success zone. Success or failure can trigger switches or other game events.

Features

• Customizable Stop Bar Minigame:

  You can easily adjust the speed of the moving arrow, the size of the success zone, colors of the bar and arrow, shadows, and displayed text.

  
  
  
• Simple Integration with Events:

  The minigame is started using plugin commands placed in map or battle events. When the player succeeds or fails, the plugin automatically turns on a designated switch.

  
  
  
• Screen Darkening and Clear Feedback:

  During the minigame the screen can be optionally darkened to focus attention on the bar. Custom text messages guide the player and provide immediate feedback on success or failure.

  
  
  
• Battle Scene Support:

  The full version allows you to use the Stop Bar minigame directly inside battles. This opens up timing-based attacks, defensive maneuvers, and special skills that depends on player's reflexes.

  
  
  

Use Examples

• Fishing or Skill Challenges:

  Use the minigame as a fishing system where players must time their button press perfectly to catch different fish. Success can grant better items or larger catches, while failure results in nothing or a small penalty, adding realism and fun to the activity.

  
  
  
• Swimming or Racing Mini-Challenges:

  In a swimming contest or obstacle course, the bar can represent effort or momentum. A well-timed press moves the player forward or helps them avoid hazards, while missing the zone slows them down or causes failure.

  
  
  
• Battle Skill Enhancements:

  During combat, tie the minigame to special attacks or magic spells. A successful timing press could increase damage, add critical effects, or reduce MP cost, making battles more interactive and rewarding for skilled players.

Differences between the Versions

Demo versions are early builds of the plugin. They have fewer features and differ significantly from the full releases. However, they serve as examples: they allow you to quickly grasp what the plugin can do and often provide enough functionality for smaller projects.

Demo versions do not receive direct updates. As they are early editions, their contents have been improved and updated in the full versions. The demos are free to download on itch.io using the “Download Demo” button.

Full versions are the complete releases of the plugin. They include all features and receive ongoing feature updates and constant support. (Remember that support is always provided for the most recent version of the plugin.)

What is a FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugin?

At Undermax we always want you to have the best experience, and we know that DEMO versions don't always showcase all the plugin's capabilities. Maybe you're unsure whether to buy the FULL version of the plugin. That's why, in some of our plugins, you can download and run a demonstration example of that plugin in its FULL version so you can try it in a closed and safe environment.

This lets you explore in greater detail those features and improvements that the DEMO version doesn't offer.

Keep in mind that the FULL EXPERIENCE MODE only lets you run the plugin in this project and it will not be compatible with other personal projects. This means you wouldn't have access to the original plugin file, which you would receive if you purchased the FULL version.

FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugins are only compatible with PC devices running Windows, which is the environment we work with.
