[CGMZ][Alpha] Controls Window for RPG Maker MZ
A downloadable plugin
Hi all, this plugin allows you to add a small window to each scene of yours letting the player know what the controls are.
This window is customizable, and you can customize the window for each scene. There is a set of fallback settings which will be used if no preset exists for a given scene.
This plugin also changes what is displayed based on the player's last input. For example, perhaps they start out using the keyboard and see OK: Z in the window, and then later they change to a controller they will then see OK: A (for the A button on the controller). It looks something like this:

Text codes are supported in the window, so you can also have it display icons representing keys or gamepad buttons.
This plugin is pretty simple, but there are some things I want to add before the plugin reaches beta stage. Mostly, I want to add more customization options for the window. Currently, you can set the window x/y/width/height, text alignment, font face and font size, and what text displays for keyboard or gamepad inputs. Additional settings might be things like adding options to have a different window background style, windowskin, windowskin tone, etc.
Do you have a feature you'd love to see added too? Let me know in the comments down below or in the #suggestions channel of my Discord!
PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
Please be aware that you can access this as well as all of my other Alpha plugins for $5 on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CasperGamingRPGM
This is posted to Itch.io since some people only use Itch and are not aware my Patreon and all of my beta/alpha plugins exist, or want to have everything in one convenient location (itch.io), or do not want to do a monthly subscription.
Casper Gaming's Beta/Alpha plugins are treated as an "early access" and will eventually be free for everyone once they are fully released, though this process can take months/years. By purchasing in beta/alpha, you are able to provide early feedback/suggestions which are more likely to make it into the final fully released plugin.

Not to be shady, but what does this have that VisuStella's free Button Assist Window doesn't other than icons?
Hi, this is a customizable window that shows controls for the scene. I am not sure what all of the differences are between this plugin and that one as I only use my own plugins.
This plugin will also eventually be free after the alpha/beta process, as with all of my plugins.
