Patina — Every Item Shows What It Has Been Through is an RPG Maker MZ plugin for RPG Maker, paid.
Its title or description names RPG Maker MZ.
A sword at 40/100 durability looks exactly like a sword at 100/100. Every durability, crafting and repair system for RPG Maker MZ decrements a number and leaves the picture untouched. Patina is the layer that was missing: it reads whatever condition your project already tracks and turns the number into the picture. A blade that has been honed carries a bright bevel and a bitten edge.
A bronze buckle grows verdigris out of its joints. A leather grip cracks along the line it bends on and darkens where a hand has held it. Gilding wears off the high points first and nowhere else. Wear is not a darkening filter This is the part that makes it a product rather than an overlay. Wear changes the object's shape, not just its colour.
A ruined blade physically loses material — measured on our own test plate, about a fifth of its silhouette — its point breaks off, and its pommel stone goes missing. A frayed linen edge goes ragged all the way round. That is why six condition states read as six different objects instead of one object at six brightnesses. And one axis runs the other way: a honed blade is brighter and keener than a pristine one.
Use is not only decay.
