Hi!

[Dullstar]

I tend to get sent here by Google a lot and there are some good resources here, so I figured it's about time I stop lurking and actually bother making an account!


RPG Maker is basically how I spend spare time.  I've got more time in the various RPG Makers than anything else in my Steam Library combined.  Yet somehow I've never actually finished a project .  I hope to change that!


I do intend on making some custom resources eventually, which I will submit once I've got them done (though it takes me, like, a month of working on and off to finish tiles ).  Speaking of which, incidentally, does anyone know if it's okay to make and post covers of the RTP music?  I would assume that would fall under the same terms as RTP graphical edits, but I'd like to make sure before submitting anything like that.

Heya, welcome to the forums!


The Terms and Conditions allow modifications/edits of Company Assets to be used within RPG Maker Software. They bundled this term to include music as well, I've copied and pasted (and highlighted) these bits for your convenience.
