This plugin adds a custom menu scene for viewing pictures via items.  It can be used to build an art gallery that the player unlocks throughout the game (easy to accomplish with hidden items), to create  'picture books' that the player can page through, or any number of  scenarios where you want to associate items with picture images for the player to view. The scene is accessed from the main menu and allows the  player to view art or cancel and return to the main menu.

Why does this plugin require payment?

I'm an indie dev myself using RPG Maker MV (I'm developing Born In Reverie on Steam). As you know, developing a years-long project can be a massive undertaking, financially, emotionally, physically, etc. I work with some badass RPG Maker community members to help develop my project, and I'm super happy to support them all financially. And now... I'm trying to support myself financially! I refuse to compromise on the quality of my own art, and I refuse to do anything less than support all the contractors I work with to the best of my financial ability. Buuuuut I'm still a team of one trying my best to make ends meet at the end of the day, so anything helps! I use all my plugins myself and I ain't going anywhere, so you can rest easy knowing I'll continue to support these and update them in years to come.

Thanks
