Summary

Hello people of RPGMWEB I've come here because I have a question: Is there a way to rotate the map's orientation / direction mid-game to improve map exploring? I'm thinking about using Js Commands, Events, or even a Plugin! Since my idea cannot be really well explained with words I'll manually rotate some images so you can get an ideas of what I'm talking about. We'll suppose that the character is always static in the 'up' position while the world rotates.

How could achieve such results?
