RPG Developer Bakin Ver. 2.6 Update Adds Auto Battle and Video Integration
The Ver. 2.6 update for RPG Developer Bakin introduces an Auto Battle function enabling creators to configure multiple combat AIs that switch dynamically based on in-game situations, according to SmileBoom Co. Ltd. This system pairs with adjustable battle speeds to support fast-paced automated encounters. Additionally, the update lets developers treat movies as image assets that can be scaled, rotated, or converted into 2D stamps for maps and events. A new fixed movement direction feature also allows cast members to move along map axes independently of camera angles, which aids quarter-view perspective designs.
