You’ve spent 1,500 hours on a project. Your hard drive dies. The only backup is a deployed, encrypted game you sent to a playtester. A decompiler is the only way to recover your own work.
As RPG Maker continues to evolve, it's likely that decompilers will adapt to newer versions of the software. The game development community must stay vigilant and proactive in addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by decompilers. By understanding the implications of decompilers and taking steps to protect their work, game developers can continue to create and share their games with confidence.
