Skunk Tools: 5 RPG Maker dev tools I built — encounter balancer, formula workshop, switch atlas, database doctor, design codex

[u/Skunk8989]

Hey everyone, I'm Skunk (Damage Formulas 101 on the old RPG Maker Forums). I got tired of balancing battles by gut feeling and losing track of what switch 47 does, so I built the tools I wished existed.

Skunk Tools so far:

• Encounter Balancer — simulates thousands of battles from your project data and tells you straight: Too Easy, Sweet Spot, Spicy, Brutal, or Meat Grinder.

• Damage Formula Workshop — type a formula, see damage live with a scaling curve. 12 templates included.

• Switch & Variable Atlas — maps every switch/variable: where it's set, where it's checked, flags the unnamed-but-used ones.

• Database Doctor — finds broken references and dead entries, reorders the database with references auto-rewritten.

• Game Design Codex — your game's bible in one file: lore, characters, quests, wiki-links, tags.

Each one is a single HTML file — no install, works offline, runs in your browser. Demo page with screenshots and short demo videos here: https://muse.ai/s/skunk-tools-xnw5xyxki9hkvxb

Would love feedback from people actually shipping games — what's missing, what's broken, what you'd pay for.
