The Time Capsule
"The Time Capsule" is a short RPG Maker game about a girl going on a scavenger hunt to find a time capsule left behind by her late brother. This game was made for the RPG Maker Themed Game Jam #5 with the theme being City of Adventure!
This is the first game I've made in RPG Maker, so please let me know if there are any bugs I need to fix!

Hi! I tried to play your game, but it seems like when you deployed, RPG Maker did not send over your whole img folder set for this project. This means after I hit start on the title it crashes with an error message saying it cannot find the img it needs. This happens to me all the time.
The folder in img that usually effects my projects is the pictures folder. If you do not encrypt, simply check the deployed folder, and see what is missing. 98% of the time its img. 90% of the time its the pictures folder within img folder. Then, just put the missing files copied from your project into the matching folder in deployment.
If you encrypt (or I'm a dummy and you have to do this anyway), deploy a copy without excluding unused files, it will be beefy. Then deploy excluding like normal, then take the files from the beefy file you need and stick them in the one that has excluded unused items.
I'm so sorry if this sounds overwhelming, but I suggest starting your search with the pictures folder in images and if that doesn't look different boot the errored game and read exactly what it cannot find it will say something like "Cannot find File: img/pictures/png" That's an example, but the folder breakdown and filenames should be familiar to you. Start looking there, that's where they lost your files in transfer.
I really hope this helps. I want yo save someone from suffering the same frustration I had when starting out. Even for this jam I had to do this trick to get my game to run. I wish you well, and I look forward to playing your game when you can fix it. Also if you have questions, I'll do my best to answer. I'm no genius at this program, but I wanted to try to help based on my experience with it. Thank you, and good luck.
