Developer of the upcoming RPG Maker Unite Gotcha Gotcha Games has revealed new details on how users are able to modify their game maker when it launches next year.

They talk about plugins, which have been available throughout the franchise for some time now. However, they also reveal that RPG Maker Unite, thanks to being developed through the Unity engine, will allow user to be able to modify the game’s source code to fit their needs.

This doesn’t mean that the software will be open source though, as users still must abide by the EULA when purchasing it. Also, Gotcha Gotcha Games also state they have no plans on providing source code references, which means users will have to dig through the available code themselves and figure it out on their own.

Here’s a rundown on the game:
