This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that will allow you to add visual horror effects to your game's title screen, maps, events, pictures, battle, etc. You can turn on individual effects at a time or multiple simultaneously. The effects include a noise effect, a glitch effect, and a TV effect, which is commonly seen used in most horror films. Now, you can use these effects in RPG Maker MV, too!

Be warned that this plugin was made in RPG Maker MV 1.6.1 and is untested in lower versions so I cannot guarantee if it will work. To update to the latest version, please download the update here to at least 1.6.1.

Sample Project Includes

The sample project download for this will include the following:





The main plugin itself along with some supporting plugins. The plugin can run without these supporting plugins as they are only used for the purpose of demonstrating in the sample project.





Sample plugin commands and demonstrated individually on various aspects of the game so you can double check your work with mine to make sure it works in your game.





Preconfigured plugin parameters to add the Horror Effects to your title screen, too!
