The RPG Maker MV ecosystem lacks a coherent plugin repository system. Since this is a javascript application, npm is the logical choice for management. As I did with Minecraft, it would be useful to create a management system for plugins. Some considerations:
- RPG Maker's plugins do not follow the standard NPM module format.
- Authors generally do not post their plugins to a central repository that's indexed.
- We probably don't want to rehost those due to licensing concerns.
- We will likely want to generate a "credits" file of some sort
Some potential solutions:
- Host an index of plugins - easily done on GitHub pages, but keeping this up and versioning becomes difficult quickly.
- Create a plugin to NPM itself to handle a unique repo & structure.
