Stop forcing your players to download full game updates every time you fix a bug or add content. LiveEngine Suite downloads only changed files — maps, database, images, audio — in the background while the game runs. Offline players keep playing untouched. No reinstall, ever.

---

What's inside the download

• ✓ LiveEngineCore.js — the MZ runtime plugin (obfuscated). Copy to js/plugins/, enable in Plugin Manager, set your manifest URL.
• ✓ LiveEnginePublisher.js — zero-dependency Node CLI. Run from your project root to build delta packages into dist_live_ops/.
• ✓ LiveEngineStudio — visual dashboard, twice: localhost app + hosted web tool (license key included with purchase).
• ✓ Docs & demo — full guide, 5-minute live test, signing/rollback/channels playbooks, changelog.

Quick start (10 minutes)

1. Install: copy the plugin to js/plugins/, enable it, set RemoteManifestUrl to where your manifest will live.
2. Publish: node LiveEnginePublisher.js --version 1.0.0 (or one click in Studio). Only new/changed files are staged.
3. Deploy: upload the contents of dist_live_ops/ to GitHub Pages, Cloudflare, S3, Netlify — any static host.
4. Play: boot the game once (full sync), then every edit is a delta: re-publish, players pull only what changed. Mid-session updates via event command or auto re-check — players never touch a console.

Key Features

• ✓ Non-blocking background sync: updates fetch during Scene_Boot, on map, or on timer — never freezing gameplay, never crashing offline.
• ✓ Player-side updates, no console: event Plugin Command Check for Updates plus periodic map re-check. New maps/art/sound apply live; database changes activate on reboot.
• ✓ Signed manifests (HMAC-SHA256): players reject forged or corrupt updates automatically. Fail-closed, always playable.
• ✓ One-click rollback: every build snapshots what it replaced — revert a bad update and re-deploy.
• ✓ Beta channels: ship pre-release content to volunteers without touching stable players.
• ✓ Two Studios included: localhost dashboard (1-click Cloudflare deploy, GitHub workflow export) and hosted web tool (license-gated, nothing to install).
• ✓ Integrity & budgets: SHA-256 per-file validation, atomic manifest writes, orphan cleanup, per-file and delta budget guards.

FAQ

Do my players reinstall for updates?
No — that is the entire product.

Do I need Cloudflare?
No. Any static host works — GitHub Pages guide and one-click workflow export included.

Web (browser) games?
Yes, via native IndexedDB caching (best-effort, documented limits). Desktop NW.js is fully supported.

What if I push a broken update?
Rollback in one click, deploy again. Snapshots are kept per build.

Which MZ versions?
RPG Maker MZ 1.x. Hooks use stable public APIs and degrade gracefully.
