VP_DynamicCursorCutter

Make Your Cursor Speak

In every game, the cursor is the player’s first point of contact.
It tells them what’s possible, what’s dangerous, and what’s special.

VP_DynamicCursorCutter transforms the RPG Maker MV cursor into a dynamic feedback system.
It’s more than a pointer — it becomes an extension of your game’s world.

• Glow red when the player takes damage.

• Pulse icy blue in a frozen cave.

• Sparkle on treasure.

• Shift shape when hovering over NPCs or doors.

• Change style depending on the weapon the player has equipped.

Your players won’t just see the cursor — they’ll feel what it means.

By combining themes, tint/rotation/size animations, and frame effects, this plugin makes the cursor a powerful tool for affordance and immersion in any RPG Maker MV project.

⚠️ Note: GIF previews are for demonstration only — animations run smoother and look sharper in-game.

Features

Frame Animations

Flexible Priority System

  context > hover > weapon > armor > plugin > default.

• Context-aware: menus, battles, and active events override all else.

Debug & Preview Tools

• Preview themes or animations in real time.

• Console logs help catch errors (e.g., “RadioActive” vs. “Radioactive”).

• Quick test commands to fine-tune behavior during development.

Why It Matters

Good games guide players. Great games make players feel their choices.

A cursor that reacts to danger, rewards, and interactions doesn’t just look good — it teaches your player how to play, without words. That’s affordance at its best.

With VP_DynamicCursorCutter, your cursor becomes a feedback system that immerses, guides, and delights.
