Hello everybody! I'm working on a very ambitious project in RPG Maker MV and I have no idea where to even start. I've begun with composing some tracks, doing concept art, and writing the story, but I have no idea where to even start when it comes to actually programming things in this application. Any tips for beginners would be very nice. Where should I start? I'm currently trying to make a working options menu but I have no idea how to do that.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I once wrote a tutorial exactly for people in your situation - it's linked in my signature, the "starting point" tutorial.
The most important thing for you to know is that you should never start with your dream project.
you need at least one project to learn the basics - amd that project will always be scrapped, because no one knows how to do things correctly on starting.
And if your first project is your dream project, then you'll damage that dream first by making beginner mistakes inside it and second by having to scrap it when it no longer works due to the beginner mistakes.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
