I've always hated the chibi style!!!! Thank you so much

Literally forgot what time was while following along. Super fun to work alongside your tutotial series, thank you for that. :D

I VX Ace lol.

Boy you missed out! SuikodenII is epic beyond epic!

The sixth punch really did it. That trash can definitely knows its place now.

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

The best - tutorial..that can teach my adhd ass how to do the basics on this game. Thank you sm ! Makes me feel so encouraged to try new things in This program.

What do I do if …the npc won’t show up (sometimes they don’t appear ) in the tester for whatever reason ? Lol sometimes they do I guess I’ll stick to copy pasting and trying again. 😅

Bro sometimes my npc disappears 😭 doesn’t show up in the test play ?

I need help, my "quest dude" is not there when I play test it. !

I knew there was gonna be a trans flag in that characters room before they went in, lmao.

What if like in persona a npc won’t be in a place if it rains? (Characters schedules)

You videos save my life 😭

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.

3.40 makes me shock, damn

thanks so much for this series! I remember trying to use rpgmaker when I was a kid and getting too frustrated, especially with the lack of clear tutorials. this has been super easy to understand :) thank you!

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)

The sword of Mana art style is pretty cool too

Hey, so I'm in a bit of a debate with whether to use bases from other games. Does it look bad or cheap? And would I need to give credits to the original game I took the base from (assuming the game is for profit)? I know that in the artist community (mostly digital drawers) it is considered "stealing" if you trace over someone else's work, so I was wondering if it's thought as the same for video game developers... (And I mean base only. Not the entire thing)

What is the side-scroller around 1:50?

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

I absolutely love Suikoden II and I'm so glad you used that sprite style. It's my favorite rpg of all time.

what is the game you used for prototype

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...

miss your rpg maker vids )

it's funny you bring this up at all times :P I've been thinking about this mentality before this uploaded today, cuz yeah, any little bit helps, and this is your first (or 2nd) publish where it has a risk of people wanting more out of it maybe, so, if you wanna take it serious, having a 0% day is not gonna be easy to stay motivated as an indie.. other ideas will crawl in, and even a 0.1% like writing notes you're gonna do later can help, notes and scripts not in the engine itself is progression, or making an asset, 30 mins or less, that can increase your chances to have a few more high progression days too. The bigger the game is, the more this rule may apply too. Of course some things happen in life where you gotta skip everything for that one thing, like a fam emergency, those are probably the exceptions but don't come around for everyone :P having 2 jobs might be tough but highly recommended still to just make 1 tile or dialog at least. I'm making a puzzle of many rooms with different colors and it's taking me a while and trying to do a lil bit each day cuz once this is done, it's only the beginning lol >_<

Хороший совет, ничего не скажешь

Another advice I would often hear is to not overengineer your game. Adding too much features/mechanics in a single game would add an unnecessary workload to developers.

You forgot handbags for men

I found it funny that you said making your own base models felt like cheating but literal theft, totally fine~ The base models thing is really smart actually, it's inefficient if every single asset is built from ground 0.... similarly borrowing a style and making it your own is also fine ultimately. It isn't really different than learning art techniques any other way, it's all still a form of copy.

I got a free copy of RPG Maker XP, time to make some games.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Informative, and it made me laugh.

The Fire Extingusiher was also below character, I would have put it "Same as Character" and you could have left it on the wall.

how to show a balloon preview in my RPG Maker?

Dollahs!!!!!

The magic number is- _144 by 192_

is it possible to add more frames to character movement?

thank you so much ive gone through so many quest tutorials, this one made the steps clear

does the "$" trick work with 2k3?

Thank you for all these turtorials. All very well constructed and entertaining to watch. "dollaz" "ambitions" lmao! If you have the knowledge, could you please create turtorials to: 1 create RPG Maker in multiplayer? 2. create a persistant map when outside? 3. things to consider when exporting to mobile? i.e. adding a movement controller 4. creating diagnial movement as a common event for both keyboard and mouse, + mobile? 5. Is there a way to generate worlds/interiors with "items"? Do you have a game in the works we can support?

Despite the default sprite size of RPG Maker being just fine for my playable characters (because they're...cats), I'll def use this tip for some human and dog NPC's! Thank you!

So I have this diagonal movement plugin which requires me to put a & in front of the sprite name and not a $ would I still be able to pull this off or no ?

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

Ahem AHEM adultganes AHEM....

Id definitely do this but i wanna monetize the project lmao

I want to create a shop that has limited amounts of a certain item just so the shopkeeper can say "If you want something, you'd better buy now. I'm running out of crap! ... Stuff!" *"And that, dear reader, is how comedy is done!" - Brian Blessed (maybe)*

im gonna buy rpg maker soon and unironically I think the homework is gonna be a HUGE help

Hello! Do you have these base sprites to download?

i now cannot unsee that sprite genitalia on all the clothes

Where can I access that nude base picture
