[CGMZ][Alpha] Day Night System for RPG Maker MZ

Hi all,

This plugin adds an automatic Day and Night system to your game. You can define your own time units (based on RPG Maker frames), and decide how many of each time unit go into the next time unit until you hit a whole day, where it will restart the time from the beginning of the day.

As part of this time system, you can also set up maps to be automatically tinted based on the time of day. Hopefully this will allow you to easily be able to make outdoor maps that automatically get darker when it is night time, or maybe you want them to have a different tint in the early morning. Maps are set as automatically tintable by notetag in the map properties note box, by default maps do not have automatic tints enabled.

This plugin only considers time up to one day. It is not meant for making a calendar with weeks or months or things beyond one day's worth of time. Within the day, plugin commands exist for things like getting, setting, and stopping time, so you can easily event things based on the time of day or stop time for an important cutscene.

Time can be tracked in the map, battle, or menu scenes. These are separate options, so you can choose where you want time to count and where you want time to be paused.

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.

Requires CGMZ Core plugin: CGMZ Core

Happy RPG Making!
