Damn, at 3:39 i was caught off guard! Rpgmaker really can handle some impressive features!

3:40 *Huge* difference

Prototyping a game in RPGMaker sounds like a great idea, I've made far too many projects that got bugged down with bloat and over scoping which have then died, So this seems like a good idea for getting the basics down and testing things on the quick, Cheers!

I like RPG Maker as a way to create art for lack of a better way to put it. I am a reasonably capable coder and sometimes do other things in other engines, but when I just want to relax I put on some lofi and I do parallax mapping, or write a little adventure and place it in a town I build up from RTP tiles. It is a bit like an adult coloring book. Some of those little sessions have become game jam games and in two cases fairly complex projects. I thin RPG Maker is unique in how pleasant it is to just play around with.

I agree that this is a great way to get into game development. I tried godot (another great option), gdevelop, unity, and unreal. Those engine took too much time to get anything done and i hit constant roadblocks with those. I use rpg maker mv and I love it. I've made a small project in just 2 weeks that was around 2 hours long. Granted i put some time into that (around 50 hours of work for 2 hours of gameplay)but it was so worth it and so satisfying. Not to mention the HUGE community around rpg maker. There are a ton of tutorials, forums, and plugins that are free to use to really make your project stand out.

The prototyping capacity of RPG Maker can be quite surprising. With the built-in ability to input code in more recent versions, you can break the mold and do anything. I'm making a tactical RPG in RPG Maker because I want exploration phases occuring in the same maps as combat. Other makers seldom have that flexibility.

flesh blood and concrete mentioned!! really informative video showcasing some nice games, thanks!

I’m binge all your rpg videos this month , thanks for uploading

3:40 AWOOGA

Thank you so much! I didn’t even suspect that with this engine you can create something other than RPG.

After playing the Witch's House I fell in love with RPG maker games. this video helps alot so thank you!!

I used a lot of RPG MAKER 2000 before I got into game maker like 20+ years ago now. What I really liked was how some people turned it into a zelda-like game. You could sacrifice one of the 2 buttons they give you for a sword swing or a jump or something. I'm not sure how the engine has progressed but if they allow more buttons then you can definitely make a more dynamic zelda game.

Been wanting a tutorial like thia for years. thanks man.

Thanks for this series, I bought an RPG Maker engine probably almost a decade ago but never had the guts to do more than poke at it until I watched this series, I don't have a game yet but I'm actually having a lot of fun just trying stuff out! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with humor and a friendly attitude.

I am just starting to learn the ropes of RPG maker XP. This video was super useful as I had no idea what could be done! thanks!

Glad you mentioned prototyping. I made a 30 minute demo of my game in RPG Maker before porting to Godot. It made it so easy to form a vision for it.

this video make a HUGE difference.

This is awesome! keep it up

rpg maker is amazing and if you can code you own stuff it really shines.

I like your approach to RM. I think its fun to push what rpgmaker can actually do genre wise. Sure you can make racing games and sword fighting action games in "better" engines but its just more fun in RM.

I'm much more familiar with RPG Maker VX (which is what I started with) and RPG Maker VX Ace. I'm always totally amazed when I see videos like this with the quality of DIFFERENT animations and graphics!! Holy mackeral! Like, I'm only familiar with the basic "RPG" sprites from the first one, and my text boxes only have the head profiles. I would love to learn how to do some of those other animations (i.e. the tall sprites, for example), and the full body/half body text boxes (if possible in RPG Maker VX Ace of course). Just found your channel from this one video and I'll have to take a look at more! Of course, I've just been having a blast with the basic "RPG" sprite looks for my games so far including the amount of awesome fan-made sprites/faces/etc. from the RPG Maker forums!

Holy crap. Prototyping is a brilliant idea. I've had this idea for a game for years and never did anything with it because it was supposed to be 3d and I have no programming experience.

Very well done video! :)

This is Great thank you!

VN with exploration is what we used to call "adventure" in our win98 days, d'oh!

Hope you're gonna make a complete series..

Interesting.I started a game on RPG Maker XP as a bit of fun that I go back to and add things to occasionally. I wasn't really following any plan, but I'd say it's a mixture of two or three of your ideas. P.s. Some old video can be seen on my channel if anybody is interested (I'm not a KZfaqr, this is just whare I've stored some old game test videos for a bfew of my games).

Thanks, great video

I remember being heavily into RPG Maker back when people still used rm2k and rm2k3. Even though, those didn't even come with a scripting language like Ruby or Javascript; they still managed to come up with some crazy systems just by using events. Things like 2d shooters, zelda-likes and I've even seen a platformer. Some of the people who made those knew so much of the intricacies of how events worked!

0:32 Those are some wise words... They're also VERY true

very nice customizations...

Great video, quite informative. Can you make all these types of games with RPG Maker XP?

Can you share the list of games that were showcased in this video? Thanks.

One that's a bit difficult to do in any RM, is a simulated board game. But I've seen it done.

Recently I developed a game called Dark Angel using rpg maker ace, was my first experience with the engine and i liked. There are some videos in my channel.

What's the second game that was shown for the visual novel example?

My man. From moment i heard about this i wanted try it. Just yesterday i bought it. And i guess yo uwill be great teacher even for PC neanderthal like me to do something possibly interesting. Thank you for that.

I would also add puzzle games. Rpg maker is really good for making certain types of 2d puzzles.

I use RPG Maker XP for TTRPG maps lol It works extremely well, especially on a tablet screen.

how did you make the first visual novel, character design looks on point!

I'm looking into adding side scrolling/ platforming sections in my rpgmaker game, is it possible in 2k3?

I LOVE THE GAME AT 2:18

lol I just bought RPG Maker MV, I do a search for tips, click the top video, I had to do a double take YO I KNOW THIS VOICE - Good to hear from ya Kai, Hope ya had an awesome Halloween :D excuse me while I disect all of your RPGMaker tips

I have a question: Why are the games I make so big? I created seven scenes and plots, and used some plug-ins, but the size was actually 5G. I tried to delete some original files, and the total pixel assets I drew did not exceed 5mb. I would like to know. the root of the problem

Bro there is no nahda none youtube tutorial from start to finish on how to make a game with every game engine out there, trust me I have looked. But I did decide to go back into RPG maker & start from there & heck once I get character assets it might just be good enough. Nice video.

What is the side-scroller around 1:50?

Depending on what I get either A switch or a Steam deck or a gamimg pc (though maybe not cuz we have too many laptops!) And I'm gonna start with a visual novel or a story driven game for my actual novel (still in development on Chapter II) and it's horror so. Well...

I bought RPG Maker first to make a prototype, but my idea is to make an isometric game similar to how some RPG scenarios used to be made in AOE2 back in the day. I used to be a modder of that game back in the day, always present on AOK Heaven, before even AOE2: HD came out, and the fact everything is HD and super nice made my AOE2 style pixel- drawing skills obsolete lol. I wonder if I can make combat in RPG Maker MZ more "real time", not as in action-based games, but kinda like how AOE2 does, which is simply an auto-attack animation when two collision boxes touch each other, not something high-octane or anything. If I remember, although I did very little "modding" in that game, Mugen, that 2d fighting engine which is the basis of Touhou: Hisoutensoku, worked with touching collision boxes too. I'm fine with turn-base as well though, it's just that I'm more "accustomed" with RTS style of combat in RPG-like scenarios like micro-ing, kiting, throwing your beefiest "tank" characters onto the path of an incoming enemy, while you bombard them with ranged units, taking terrain elevation in consideration to gain buffs, etc... TBH, I don't plan to move to other engines or create my own if RPG Maker provides everything I need to create my idea, which isn't much. The only really essential stuff I need is a nice "trigger system", A GUI that can handle lots of info if I for example want to introduce crafting, farming or other sorts of minigames and handle Isometric "2.5d". Also, Big maps, although I don't mind if they are presented in smaller chunks, but I wish to make a map as big as some AOE2 maps where the largest was 512x512 tiles with hundreds of units moving around and dozens of animals and all sorts of buildings triggering things, etc...

3.40 makes me shock, damn

i was wondering if i could add 2d animations that isnt pixel art

Also, its possible with some creativity to make an action rpg instead of turn based, you can create target shooting sections and ive even seen a racing game

Great 👍

Oh my god, it's the resident evil dude?!

The game "omori" inspired me, I want to make a horror game on it

Currently working on a Tactical RPG in RMMV at the moment.

i've been wanting to make my own game forever now,, is rpg maker free? or is it only free for 30 days?

Is there a specific version of RPGmaker you suggest using? Thank you in advance

Are there any youtube channels that mainly give tips for Nintendo switch users who don't have the extra features in game pc people do

0:55 please tell me how you did it so the enemies attack animation shows and it shows the actors face

Currently building a monster tamer.

Would making a amazing game pave away to join the story board team from major game companies?

i was excited to make use of RPGmaker MV, and noticed it was one of the latest versions of RPGmaker. After examining it recently, i feel like i was scammed as it's very limited in what it can do and is only capable of the most basic RPG creations. Or seemingly. There appears to be lackluster information on what the different RPGmaker versions can do unless i'm missing something.

3:39 scared the shit outta me

Huge 👍

2:05 daniel give me coffee

3:40 my God

What is the name of this visual novel?

I'm wondering if is possible to create a mix of Visual Novel and Adventure games. Something simple. Nothing fancy. I know there's Adventure Game Studio (AGS) as well, but some features of RPG Maker seem like a better fit for this idea. (My experience is only with Unreal, but I was thinking about something simpler, that wouldn't be too heavy on visuals - even though I'm an artist. I even have an Adventure Point&Click kit in my Epic's vault, but man... I don't know. Maybe using something I don't need to code anything, even in Blueprint, would be a good thing for me now)

What version of RPGMaker do you recommend the most?

are these made with mz or mv? are they both capable of making these kinds of games?

So are you drawing all this doing all the art yourself?

Damn Goddess of order! Calm tf down! Lololol

Those are two very huge differences 😂

3:40 So it *is* possible to make a boobalike on RPG Maker.

I wanted to make a point and click adventure game in RPG maker, but I don’t know if there is any way to click some thing in RPG maker

So I have this program on my Nintendo switch. I don't understand how I could make a game that other people can play or utilize the game to put on to different consoles, if I'm making it on switch

What’s the game used as an example for the visual novel

i love you for that

You have a tutorial on a story rich scripting? That's what I'm trying to do, but can't find anything for scripting what I need and want to remove battles and have them set as choices. I want a story rich and choices mattets.

1:53 HE HE!

Can you do your own art if you want?

Would it be possible to do a fallout shelter / WOW WOD garrisson simulator where you just send minions to collect/do missions?

Is this same as rpg maker MV??

What is the game at 1:04? thanks! great video very informative!

3:39 hahah!!

I have a question,can I make a game like Stardew valley using rpg maker MV?

so how do i actually use it to make a story rich game? it just opens to the few download things.. :/

I would like to use Wolf RPG Editor because it is free.

Maybe we can make Fire Emblem with it? But we need to find a way to create the enemies' AI.

Hello.I want to make a Story Rich style videıo game in RPG MAKER MV but here is the hardestpart= Drawings.Do you have any idea how can ı draw every cutscene?where ?

LMAO @ the "most replayed" 😂😂😂

Im looking for something that can make a Diablo-like ARPG style game

what game is this 3:58

I think a lot of beginners look at this then read that they’d be better with Godot or game maker or unity, give them a go and quit in a month. Not that you can’t learn with those, you absolutely can. But this is the easy training wheels one.

i liked this video

HUGE differences

3:39: How does she even eat with those things?!?

this is the part with the car

I just want Jill Valentine to tell me she loves me!

years ago, in the early 2010s, i was comtpulating making a game. think city-state and the sims in one, with sci-fi, rpg and porn elements. tried a online game engine that really seemed like i could run on a old inspiron 1721 from dell, and nope. dumb autistic me thought "oh geez, i guess i gotta wait till i get something better!" but fast forward to 2022 after playing a few games made on RPG Maker on a shitty hp (with minimum lag) that i bought for 50 bucks from a former friend i thought to myself "maybe i can do so now?" and from looking at the specs of RPG Maker MV on steam i just might be able to pull it off on this hp but if not, the minimum requirements are so minimum for a game engine that a decent used 200 buck gaming pc from ebay would do fine.
