- Game Character Hub PE: 3.11.0 - 4 October 2021
New features New library installation manager: You can freely choose to install, reinstall, or uninstall any resource pack. You can also view the contents of each pack. You will no longer have duplicate character formats installed (you need to install the pack upgrades for that). New grid export option: The export window now directly gives you the option to export each character sheet into a larger image, in a grid pattern. In addition, the export window preconfigures each character sheet so they are exported properly for RPG Maker (only newly created characters can benefit from this feature). For instance, RPG Maker walk and face sheets will be exported in a 4x2 grid by default. All GCH resource packs have been updated to support this new feature.

- RPG Maker MZ with GCH 3.9 - 24 January 2021
Hello everyone! We hope you are all doing fine :) In any case, we hope to cheer you up with good news: GCH 3.9 will bring support for RPG Maker MZ! We are pleased to show you this small snapshot: As you can see, you can import all the RPG Maker MZ character generator parts (of base RPG Maker MZ and its Character Generator DLC). This is a manual operation you need to do, GCH 3.9 cannot ship RPG Maker MZ parts just yet. Don't worry though, the import is pretty straight-forward :) ! Beware, you will only be able to import RPG Maker MZ assets that are installed on your machine (so you need to own RPG Maker MZ). This, unfortunately, means that Debian / Ubuntu users won't benefit from RPG Maker MZ assets as it is not available on this platform. When will it be released? Like GCH 3.8, this update is a cooperative effort with people from Degica. Some RPG Maker MZ files need to be fixed before t…
