Hey, the name's KrimsonKatt and I'm just a random catgirl surfing the interwebs. I am an indie game dev and have been developing games since 2014.

The KrimsonKatt Iceberg Explained



Tip of the Iceberg
rpgmaker.net: The very website you're using right now! Where the majority of my games are posted.

itch.io: Another place where my games are posted. I'm very inactive on there.

Chronicles Meteorfall: A game made in RPG Maker MV that's been in development hell for nearly half a decade. The game that Koros, Tayo, Zenith, and others are from. It's original incarnation was in the incomplete meteo chronicles, which will be discussed later down in this iceberg.

Noel and the Tower of Doom: My latest currently released game, which is a dungeon crawler made in RPG Maker MV set in the modern day after a calamity merges the world of fantasy with reality. Has a lighthearted tone on the surface but when you dig deeper is actually quite dark and spooky. The perfect recipe for a hit RM game!

Chronicles The Lost Page: An event game I made in 2021 as part of the "commonplace book" Holloween event on this website RMN where we took a prompt form HP Lovecraft's big book of ideas and made a game off of it. TLP is a short RPG with an open map and heavy horror inspiration. Complete various side objectives before venturing into the depths of the Selice Ruins to face off with an eldritch beast known as Karakal.

Cancelled Games: Many games developed by KrimsonKatt have been cancelled. The first of these was Dragon Ascension, while others include The Legend of Light: 2 Worlds 1 Destiny, Elvengard 2015, Slime Quest, Firebrand Chronicles 2017, Generic RPG Quest III, Stardust Saga, Draco Anima Origins, Legend of Dragoon 2: Rising Suns, Koros in Candyland, and many more.

The Iceberg
DeviantArt: I have a DeviantArt called KrimsonKattTG. It's about 50% NSFW 50% lore, so visit at your own risk.

Old YouTubeChannel: I had an old YouTube channel called just KrimsonKatt that posted music from recent square enix games not found anywhere else on the internet. Despite following their ToS, the Square Enix ninjas got me and unfairly smited my entire account and all my videos giving me three copyright strikes and disabling me from posting any more videos. I then abandoned that channel (which had around 250 subs) to start a new channel called KrimsonKattYT. No videos are posted on the second channel as of yet.

Meteo Chronicles: The original version of Chronicles Meteorfall that was extremely broken and unfinished and got panned at release.

Zero Gear Fighters: My first publicly released RPG Maker game that was childish and buggy, but had some charm to it. Like, the sort of "aww, look at this kid's imagination" type of charm. I didn't like the "criticism" at the time and threw a fit about it (I was 13) and even delisted the game for a period of time, but I now take that game in stride as an important building block to where I am now when it comes to gammak.

Dragon Ascension: My second publicly released RPG Maker game. I was originally going to call it "Zero Gear Fighters 2" before being renamed to avoid being linked to the first game. I was better than ZGF, but not by much still using many default maps and having HP sponge bosses with 10k HP and took 10 minutes to kill.

Generic RPG Quest III: My third publicly released RPG Maker game and a bit stepping stone when it came to my game dev skills, being worked on in the tail end of the dark age between 2017 and 2019. The game got cancelled before it could be finished, but if it was it would be the first finished game in the Chronicles of Chronicles series instead of Chronicles The Lost Page.

Twitter/X: I have a twitter. My name on there is Krixmons Kttax and my @ is KrimsonKatt. Making the most out of my account before I have to abandon it because Supreme Overlord Musky Husky said I had to pay $2 to post.

Planned Games: Many games are planned for the future of the Chronicles of Chronicles series. They can be found on both my RMN profile and my itch.io profile.

TV Tropes: I have an account on TV Tropes (KrimsonKatt, like always) and multiple of my games have pages. (Meteo Chronicles, Chronicles the Lost Page, and Noel and the Tower of Doom)

Archive Site: I have an archive site where I post all my art and games in case I get randomly banned or sites go down forever. The link is

Reddit: I have two reddit accounts. My old Reddit, u/KrimsonKatt3, and my new Reddit, .

Bottom of the Iceberg
Discord Server: I have a discord server called "The Official Chronicles of Chronicles Discord Server". It is incredibly inactive and only has 4 members.

r/ZutaraUniverse: The subreddit for my game series. It is beyond inactive and will be deleted on January 31st, 2024.

r/CuteFemboys2: A sub that KrimsonKatt created focused on posting art of cute anime femboys as an alternative to r/cutetraps which is run by (unsurprisingly) transphobes. It is decently inactive but does have 80+ members. Most of the posts are from u/krimsonkatt3 (my old reddit) and are reposts of posts from r/cutetraps.

NSFW Art: I have made NSFW art of my characters and other fictional characters and have profited off of it. Fight me.

KrimsonKatt is transgender: Technically true, but I haven't started actually physically transitioning yet so kinda?

Alternate Accounts: I have many alternate accounts on many websites, but absolutely none here on RMN. Got that? Good. Some of my alt accounts on sites like Reddit and Discord include , and various others. Also in the chance that any of the previously mentioned usernames happen to belong to RMN users they are not me, in that case it's just a coincidence similar to someone near the end of this iceberg...

RPG Maker Web Permaban: I am permanently banned from RPG Maker Web because when I was having a manic episode I posted some insane rant making up complete nonsense and blatant slander against KADOKAWA. (the company that publishes RPG Maker) I greatly regret these actions and I was not in my best mind when I posted them. I wish I could be let back as it has been years, but what's done is done and I know I'll probaly never be let back into that community after what I posted.

Stardust Saga/Draco Anima Origins: A game I planned to make and had plastered all over my profile around 2017/2018 during the Dark Age. (more on that later) It ended up never getting made and only up to the first dungeon of DAO got finished after which the files were lost when I switched PCs.

"True History": Kairos' secret plan hinted at in Chronicles Meteorfall and Chronicles: The Lost Page. It has something to do with the timestream, but other than that not much has been revealed yet. What is that dragon planning?

Shout Outs: The Chronicles series is filled to the brim with shoutouts, primarily towards the games I have played and media I had consumed around that time. Some of the most repeating references are to Fire Emblem, Megami Tensei/Persona, Bravely Default/Octopath, Xenoblade Chronicles, Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, and weird semi-obscure manga and novels.

Crypt Challenge DX/EX: An epilogue to Chronicles Meteorfall I made before Chronicles Meteorfall even started development. A massive mistake, the game went through two distinct versions until both games got delisted. A third version, Crypt Challenge DX+, is planned to be developed after Chronicles Meteorfall is complete.

The Depths

Fiora Review: In 2018 I made a review for the "art game" Fiora, which is a game about a trans girl coming to face her true identity. I ended up reacting harshly and violently to the game due to my own fears and insecurities at the time, giving the game a 6/10 praising the art and visuals but dissing the "poor gameplay" and "weird, disturbing story." Safe to say my review was quite transphobic and did not reflect well on my character, which I only reacted that way because of my own insecurities and denial of myself. 5 years later I'm now trans myself and I seriously feel crappy about the stupid stuff I did in my teenage years after being led down a dark path by the YouTube algorithm pushing cringe anti-SJW ideology down my throat. Curse you The Quartering, YellowFlash, ClownfishTV, BoundingIntoComics, ER, Benny Shapeepee, Blair White, and all you other far right shitheads!

I'm Ugly: A weird rant I made in 2017 where after I discovered I had "segmented fimbriotic mitosis," a rare skin condition, in the middle of class I searched it up on the web and found pictures of people who looked like Orcs from Lord of the Rings with all their disgusting skin tags and blotches and everything. I had a meltdown at school (I was very immature back then) and came home to my mom crying believing that I would turn into a monsterous, hideous orc. While in this state of panic I changed my profile to the White Orc from the hobbit, made a ranty status post, and requested that my username by changed from "dragonsprit99" to "ImUglyOrc." Luckily the request was denied and when my mom came home from work we discussed things and she said that I had the SEGMENTED kind which barely affected (just some permanent pimples on the right arm) and she only wrote on my school "acomidations note" as a loophole to get me into special PE, which was to get me away from my abusive PE teachers and into a safer environment but normally only allowed for people with "physical disabilities" like people in wheelchairs and stuff. A bizarre saga of my internet life, that's for sure. But hey, it made me realize the spelling error of my original username and got it changed to the now-iconic KrimsonKatt, so at least something good came from it.

2019 RMN Homophobic Rant: When I was younger I made an EXTREMELY STUPID homophobic rant blaming "the gay agenda" on why one of my games got bad reviews, which I made when I was in another manic episode. Soon after I was banned from RMB for 6 months, which wasn't due to the stupid rant I made but rather a completely different issue that ended up just being one big misunderstanding made 1000% times worse with my semi-abusive dad getting involved to try to bail me out.

KrimsonKatt VS Yanfly: For a while I had a really big hate boner for Yanfly, but I've gotten over it. Especially now that I have a job and have a lot of disposable income. $5 for nearly 200 MV plugins is an absolute steal when other users charge $20 for just one. It's really not that big of a deal. Sorry Yanfly for all the trouble I caused you in the past.

Art Tracing Controversy: One time on DeviantArt I made art of Mona from Genshin impact and partially traced a sketch from another user. I made the MASSIVE mistake of not crediting them (I was on mobile when posting so it was hard to do) and suddenly the guy makes a call out post and gets his 5k followers to harass and mass report me calling me an "art thief." I immediately apologized, credited him in the description, and left it at that but that guy's fans were still out for blood, wanting me to take down the post and delete my account. Keep in mind this was in the first 4 months of creating my account. Eventually the guy just went and blocked me and the drama largely died down.

NToD is Sonichu Fanfiction: (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR NOEL AND THE TOWER OF DOOM FOLLOW. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THEM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)











Chris Chan is the false one and the bosses of the game are their OCs "the chaotic combo." The game frequently references Sonichu/Chris Chan lore and fictionalizes it into a sci-fi/cosmic horror setting. Almost all the secret notes refer to Chris Chan as "the false one" and the main antagonist being Chris Chan is supposted to be a massive twist. Heck, Sonichu himself appears as the boss "The Child". So NToD is basically Sonichu Fan Fiction but instead of being a parody plays the lore straight and basks in the sheer horror and insanity caused by the implications of CWC's fantasy world and if the "dimensional merge" actually happened.











END OF SPOILERS

MV VS MZ: I really don't like RPG Maker MZ for various reasons including the poor RTP and performance on older computers as well as the new animation system and lack of compatibility with MV plugins with the only way to fix that issue (Fossil MZ) being lost media. MV is just way better for me, but I understand why other people like MZ more. It just isn't for me and that's okay.

Original Crypt Challenge: There was an "original version" of Crypt Challenge that never had a gamepage but was publicly released as part of RMN's 15th anniversary. It was bad. Really bad. MLG memes in 2017? You want it? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough cringe tolerance.

Self Doxxing: I accidentally doxed myself a few times. Please don't look into it.

All NSFW is Canon: All NSFW art I make of my characters is canon, surprisingly enough. At best they're canonical side-stories to the main plot and at worst they take place within parallel, if 100% canon, universes. Most of the art I make is crossover stuff, so most aren't even directly connected to the CoC.

The Abyss
Liquid KrimsonKatt: There was once another internet user under the name KrimsonKatt. An ancient enemy, a mortal foe... Liquid! Yes, I have a clone, and that clone is actually older than me! He's been on the internet since at least 2003, and let's just say that he's not the most... respectable person. For one he's a furry, which is bad enough (JK furries are cool, at least most of them.) but then we get into the pedo allegations from his involvement in the Backrooms community, his crusade and war with KiwiFarms who went after him for said pedo allegations and some... other things, and who eventually got banned off Twitter and nearly every other social media, leaving no trace. To think I not only share a name with this guy, but also A PROFILE PICTURE? (the litten gijinka one, which is why I kept changing it) COMPLTELY BY CHANCE AND ON ACCIDENT? WTF?

Similarities to Chris Chan: I can go on and on. Childhood trauma, autism, a bigot phase, gender non-conformity, the childish comics involving cartoon animals and self inserts, being fans of sonic and pokemon at one point, etc. The difference between me and them is that I have actually somewhat decent parents, (at least my mom) was raised far better in a stricter yet kinder household, wasn't exposed to messed up stuff at a young age, wrote said childish comics when I was 9, not 25, am no longer a Pokemon fan, (abandoned the series to play based Megami Tensei instead) am not a brony or a furry, am into age-appropriate stuff, (video games, anime, mythology, religion, and politics) and would NEVER do some of the horrific stuff Chris Chan did and still does. Funny how I also have a "liquid" impersonator version of myself, but Liquid KrimsonKatt is evil while Liquid Chris is good. Go figure.

2017-2019 Dark Age: The period of time when I was consumed in fear, hate, and far-right politics on YouTube. I barely worked on any game dev during this time as I was severely depressed and lost in life, acting out in school and being a general nuisance and/or delinquent. Then I switched schools to a much stricter private school for "emotionally venerable teens" and they shaped me up into the person I am today. Helped me process my trauma, fears, and insecurities, made me more hard working, responsible, and got rid of my self-hating bigotry to boot. During the events at that new school I also came up with the idea of the Chronicles of Chronicles series inspired by Xenogears, Castlevania, and Gnosticism and begun writing my grand 20,000 year plot out.

Stardew Valley is Canon: A little known fact about my series is that Stardew Valley is actually canon to the series, albeit taking place in an alternate timeline following Chronicles Tactics. It takes place in the same general world, so that's cool at least. Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and The Blazing Blade are also canon, following Ending D of The Last Dragon's Elegy.

Tayo's EX Quest is based off a lost hentai: It's true. No, I won't name the hentai. I may be a degenerate, but I'm not THAT degenerate! You can probaly find it though if you search hard enough.

Starshift Origins Cameo: Koros appears as a crossover secret boss in the upcoming Action RPG "Star Shift Origins". Yes, seriously. I paid $300 for this.

Meteo Chronicles Unsafe Content: There are some... odd things hidden in certain builds of Meteo Chronicles' code if you go looking for them. No, I will not tell you what they are. Go find them yourself.

FC 2017 Build (DO NOT RESEARCH): A semi-shitpost entry, but there was a 2017 build for Firebrand Chronicles, aka Chronicles: The Last Dragon's Elegy that never got made. It had some... odd NPCs hidden in that build's code that might get me cancelled it it was ever discovered. I was a different person back in 2017! Please forgive me!

Liquid is a NaziFur: Do you remember when I said that Liquid KrimsonKatt was infamous for some... other thing? Well, this is that thing. Liquid KrimsonKatt is not only a furry, but a NAZI FURRY who gets off to nazi imagery and outfits. No, I'm not making this up. This is real.

THE END

Secret Santa 2023 ::

Krimson, I don't think people are going to buy expensive games for others. Probably aim for something worth less than $10-15 if you're going to put games on your steam wishlist?


I'm down with anything, but I know me saying that is hairpulling for those looking to gift so I'll say that any fanart is appreciated, no matter how good or bad YOU think it might be (I appreciate anything! :D )

But if you're up something else, I'm down to party. XD
I honestly appreciate anything.

I understand people aren't willing to pay a ton of money for a game. I far more expect a review and/or fanart than a game purchase. The steam stuff is only for a last resort if nothing else can be done in time. However, this is the season of the steam winter sale so most games go massively down in price during this period of time. Secondly, plenty of games on my wishlist are not that expensive and are within the $15 or less range. There's just a lot of expensive games also on there because my steam wishlist is primarily for me to track what games I'm interested in. Since you can't have multiple wishlists, I can't have a second wishlist specificly for this event and fully fill it with inexpensive games. As for the art, other kinds of art are good as well. I was just stating what I would prefer in terms of art, not a definite thing.

Edit: Also I never said the fanart had to be "of quality." Any fanart is good as it's the thought that counts, not artistic skill.

Edit 2: Lol you spelled my username wrong in the first post.

Secret Santa 2023 ::

Yay! RMN Secret Santa! My favorite time of the year. Add me in please! I'm ready. As for the things on my gammak wishlist, it goes as follows:
1: Review and/or lets play of my games "Noel and the Tower of Doom" or "Chronicles: The Lost Page."
2: Fanart of any of my games or OCs. (original characters.) Would prefer if the fanart was from Noel and the Tower of Doom but Chronicles the Lost Page fanart is fine as well as long as you don't draw Treck fighting Karakal. (which is what I got last year)
3: If you can't manage either of those, you can always buy a game from my steam wishlist. My wishlist can be found here: https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/KrimsonKatt/ My most wanted games on there are the Trails series, Touhou: Artifical Dream in Arcadia, Spark the Electric Jester 2&3, Record of Lodoss War: Deelit in Wonder Labyrinth, Freedom Planet 2, and Elden Ring.

[RMMV] What is a good dagger skill for a ranger class?

I already have a skill from thief that drains MP. (which my game called AP)

But for the ranger I went for something boring and generic since I couldn't figure out anything more unique.

Shave - Deal major dagger damage to one foe that always crits, but has only 50% HIT.

Not really that interesting or all that "ranger-like", but that's the best I could come up with as there's not really another skill (at least in the earlygame) that grants garanteed crits. This synergizes well with the Swordmaster's "Bushido Critical" passive skill that allows that class to gain +1 TP when landing a critical hit. The Swordmaster whole gimmick is that Swordmasters have some insanely overpowered skills, but must must charge up TP over a long period to time to make use of them. Similar to Cyan from FF6 but actually good since you can use the classes various equipable passives to speed up the TP gaining process. So if you combine Swordmaster+Ranger and give a character Shaver, Bushido Critical, and some OP Swordmaster Art like Hakagure or Flame Purge, maybe Bushido Charge to get a bit of leeway with TP, and then watch the sparks fly. Made even better with the Ranger's passive Eagle Eye a bit later in the game, which raises HIT by 100% making Shaver always hit and land a critical unless the enemy has some crazy evasion.

My game relies almost entirely on making good class and skill builds, so this is important to add more synergy between different classes like how you can combine Brawler and Paladin for neigh-invincibility through Pavice, Aegis, Elemental Bracer, DEF Boost, Great Guardian, Chakra, Unchained+No Equips, and Final Force or Dragoon and Freelancer for full elemental coverage against everything + mind charge to strengthen the dragoon's breath attacks. Or the incredibly busted Enchantress+Wizard lategame combo for ultimate magical DPS with Chainspell+Arcane Diffusion+Supernova.

[RMMV] Xenomic's Question Thread!

author=Xenomic
Much obliged for the help. I ended up dummying the move outright since I couldn't figure the ability out, but that coding might be useful for other ideas in the game~

Since I'm here, I have a couple more involved questions.

1) Summons. So, the idea I have is that you can equip summons (called Collabs in this game) to each character. Each Collab gives a set of bonuses, for example:

Imbue Element: N/A
Element Resist: Darkness (50%)
Element Weakness: Light (100%)
Imbue Status: N/A
Status Resist: N/A
Stats: -40 ATK, 20 MAG, 80 Max MP
Additional: 20% chance for magic attacks to do extra damage, up to 5 hits, Encounter Half

This is what one Collab gives. You can only equip them to one character at a time (i.e. you cannot equip this Collab to any other unit), which works nicely for the passives and such...however, I WOULD like to make them, ya know, Summons. And the method of which I think would help is to do it via like a Limit Break. I know there's a way to do Limit Breaks, and I'm probably going to go that route (every character has: their own Limit, potential Limits with other playable characters, and then the Collab Limit which may or may not vary depending on who has what (taking Fauna as an example, her default Limit would be Let Me Stay Here (and later she'd get Wrath of Nature), some limits she might have with others, if they have a full Limit as well, like say...Bijou, would be Agent 4'7" (it would take both characters with full Limit to use it, and I'd like to make it take up both of their turns, if I can with the CTB system), and then the Collab summon ability). I was trying to set it up so that when you equip a Collab, it gives the character the Collab menu (which I may not use) and then add the summon that way, but then everyone would get access to that. I could potentially have 8 different versions of the same summon and command, but that feels unnecessary and I feel like I could probably code around it??

2) Upgrading ability system. This one is more involved, but I was thinking of having a system where you can slot points into abilities and/or passives, which you gain X points after every level up, so you'd be limited on points. You can remove the points so that you can reslot it into anything else, but as an example, you could slot points into Fauna's Feel Better Beam (normally heals one ally's HP equal to 25% of their Max HP), which you could upgrade the healing potential (50% > 75% > 100%, but increases MP cost obviously), could reduce MP cost, or potentially add other effects (for example with Feel Better Beam, maybe it heals some status ailments on top of the HP heal, or maybe it heals a little MP?). How viable would a system like that be to do in this engine? I have all the skills already set up, so it's just a matter of figuring out how to do the coding for this.

If anyone could help with either of these, that'd be great!! Both are big parts of the game that I'd like to work on, and I feel it'd make strategies more interesting in the game too!


For summons, I know SRD (somerandomdev, previously somerandomdude or sumrdmdde) has a plugin for MV that uses summons. Though, I prefer the summon just being a basic skill and then for the "summon effect" (visuals) I just use Yanfly action sequences. For giving passives when the summon is equipped all you need for that is Yanfly's passive states and in the notetags give that particular summon a passive state that gives the effects you want when that summon is equipped. You can use TP as the summon cost and use Yanfly's TP Core plugin to manipulate how TP is gained. I'm not sure how to gain a skill when an item is equipped and lose it when it's not but there's probably a plugin for it somewhere.

For the "skill point system" there is no way to power up skills though a menu like in Final Fantasy X either in the default engine or through plugins. However Yanfly does have plugins for both MV and MZ which allow skills to "level up" when used enough times or via a script call. When a skill levels up using that plugin the skill gains extra power and features. That plugin might help with what you're trying to do.

But overall you seem to be trying to implement far too many ambitious mechanics into your game for it being only your second project. You should aim for more simple mechanics and not try to do all this crazy scripting stuff with complex moves and systems. There's plenty of interesting skills and passives you can already make with the default engine and a few basic plugins.

What exactly is and isn't allowed on this site when it comes to rips in our games?

author=fafraname
I've gotten to the point whenever I find a resource I want to use I add everything to a document I keep in the game folder so I can make proper credits at the end of a game.

Yeah, that's what I'm starting to do as well. Make the "credits" first before anything else and put them in a google doc/notepad document in order to keep track of who to credit. Then I add the credits both at the end of the game and on my game page on RMN/Itch.io so people don't need to play the entire game to see the credits.

[RMMV] What is a good dagger skill for a ranger class?

So I'm making the skills for my game (Chronicles Meteorfall) right now and I'm trying to figure out what the last skill for my ranger class is going to be. The ranger class in Chronicles Meteorfall wields both daggers and bows, so of course I need to have the class have at least one dagger skill to round things out. Problem is is that I have no idea what skill it should be! I know it has to be a physical attack, has to do dagger damage, and is not a status move. That's about it. A dagger attack that hits all enemies is too boring and is already filled by attacks from other classes. I need a unique sort of skill to stand out, but also something that's not too hard to make with the default RPG Maker MV engine. Anyone have any good ideas? Because I'm stumped.

[RMMV] Xenomic's Question Thread!

author=Xenomic
So a question for ye: DTB (aka Dragon Quest style or FFI/FFII), ATB (aka Final Fantasy series such as VI and VII), or CTB (aka FFX style)? Which do you prefer?

https://strawpoll.com/mpnboB8xJg5

Poll for those that are willing to let me know!

Also still haven't figured out how exactly to do the accuracy thing. Was also trying to get Counters working with Yanfly's Counter plugin, but that thing is weird and I don't really understand it lol. Tried to make it so that Counter activates against physical skills only (there was going to be Magic Counter and Evade & Counter too), but Counter activates against everything (also if I did just Counter Skill instead of Counter Skills, it would double counter in the same attack??).

And new question!! Using plugins and whatnot, what's the way of making it so that you can store how much HP each party member is healed by, and then later use that to do a damaging attack that resets the damage after using it?

I strongly prefer CTB. ATB is too hard to balance around and DTP is too boring and simplistic. Along with that, JUST having CTP is also too boring and not engaging enough for an RPG battle system. For the gameplay to be interesting with no unique mechanics you either need to make the game VERY tough or introduce some other mechanic, usually some sort of system to allow for extra turns. The games that have accomplished this goal the best are the Shin Megami Tensei series and their "press turn" system and Octopath Traveler and their "Boost/Break" system. Both are good in their own right, though press turn is more simple but more challenging while Boost/Break is more complex but less challenging. But both battle systems are pretty easy to balance around and make an engaging turn based experience out of and are easy to learn but hard to master. The quintessential turn based RPG battle systems IMO.

For both the accuracy and the "healing attack" thing you will need to do a bit of scripting using Yanfly's "lunatic code." First you will need the "base parameter control" plugin as well as Core Engine, Battle Engine Core, and Action Sequences 1-3. Then, you need to create a state called "HIT Control". In the state's notetag, you must insert this code:
<Custom hit Formula>
value = x + 100 - (100 * (hp / mhp));
</Custom hit Formula>
X is the base hit rate you want for your skill, aka the hit rate if you're at 100% HP. Then in the actual skill you make an action sequence. At the beginning of the action sequence you add the "HIT Control" state, and at the end of the action sequence you remove it so that the state only applies when the accuracy effecting skill is in use.

For the HP thing, you can try using this tips and tricks from Yanfly, which is for the bide status from Pokemon: http://www.yanfly.moe/wiki/Bide_(MV_Plugin_Tips_%26_Tricks)

How bide works is that a battler enters a state where they take in incoming damage. This damage is stored as a value and then released onto the enemy once the state expires. Here is the code for the bide state:
<Custom Apply Effect>
// Upon applying Bide, set the Bide damage to 0.
user._bide = 0;
</Custom Apply Effect>

<Custom Respond Effect>
// Check if the target took any HP damage.
if (target.result().hpDamage > 0) {
// If the target did, raise the Bide damage by the HP damage taken.
target._bide += target.result().hpDamage;
}
</Custom Respond Effect>

<Custom Remove Effect>
// Check if the party is in battle.
if ($gameParty.inBattle()) {
// Play animation 97 on the user.
user.startAnimation(97);
// Calculate the damage. The damage dealt is equal to 2x Bide damage.
var damage = Math.ceil(user._bide * 2);
// Get the group of alive enemies.
var enemies = user.opponentsUnit().aliveMembers();
// Loop through each of the enemies.
for (var i = 0; i < enemies.length; ++i) {
// Get the enemy.
var enemy = enemies[i];
// Play animation 107 on the enemy.
enemy.startAnimation(107);
// Make the enemy take damage.
enemy.gainHp(-damage);
// Prompt the enemy's damage popup.
enemy.startDamagePopup();
// Clear the results of the enemy taking damage.
enemy.clearResult();
// Check if the enemy is dead.
if (enemy.isDead()) {
// If the enemy is dead, make it collapse.
enemy.performCollapse();
}
}
// Reset the Bide damage value.
user._bide = 0;

} // Check if the party is in battle.
</Custom Remove Effect>

You just need to edit this code a bit to track healing rather than damage.
<Custom Apply Effect>
// Upon applying Bide, set the Bide healing to 0.
user._bide = 0;
</Custom Apply Effect>

<Custom Respond Effect>
// Check if the target healed any HP.
if (target.result().heal > 0) {
// If the target did, raise the Bide damage by the amount of HP healed.
target._bide += target.result().heal;
}
</Custom Respond Effect>

<Custom Remove Effect>
// Check if the party is in battle.
if ($gameParty.inBattle()) {
// Play animation 97 on the user.
user.startAnimation(97);
// Calculate the healing. The damage dealt is equal to Bide healing x0.5.
var healing = Math.ceil(user._bide * 0.5);
// Get the group of alive enemies.
var enemies = user.opponentsUnit().aliveMembers();
// Loop through each of the enemies.
for (var i = 0; i < enemies.length; ++i) {
// Get the enemy.
var enemy = enemies[i];
// Play animation 107 on the enemy.
enemy.startAnimation(107);
// Make the enemy take damage.
enemy.gainHp(-damage);
// Prompt the enemy's damage popup.
enemy.startDamagePopup();
// Clear the results of the enemy taking damage.
enemy.clearResult();
// Check if the enemy is dead.
if (enemy.isDead()) {
// If the enemy is dead, make it collapse.
enemy.performCollapse();
}
}
// Reset the Bide healing value.
user._bide = 0;

} // Check if the party is in battle.
</Custom Remove Effect>

Hope this helped!

[RM2K3] Where to unload my "H" Resources

Upload them on google drive and then share the link on your profile. Google Drive has no TOS blocking NSFW and won't go after you as long as you don't post illegal stuff. Google Drive also offers 25 GB free of storage space with no drawbacks, and if you run out you can just make a new account and start over. Inactive Google Accounts only started to be auto-deleted this year and won't ever be gone as long as you log in at least once every 2 years. They also will NEVER be deleted as long as you have a YouTube channel linked to the account with content on it or if it's a popular/well known account. (celebrities or CEOs for example)

Edit:
Step 1: Separate the SFW and NSFW assets into separate folders.
Step 2: Organize the folders and sort assets by type
Step 3: Zip both files separately.
Step 4: Upload both files to your google drive. (zipped files take up much less space than full folders)
Step 5: Click on the "share" button for one of the files.
Step 6: Turn on "link sharing."
Step 7: Make sure the share setting is set to "view/download only" for people who have the link.
Step 8: Copy and paste the link to your RMN profile or any other social media profiles.
Step 9: Do the same for the other zip file.
Step 10: Advertise that you have rare RM2K3 assets avalible for download and send people to your google drive link.
