Ok so, I'm trying to create an tutorial for my game, you know. Where it shows you how to play and how to operate the menu and other stuff.

And I'm not sure how to do that. I don't know if I need a script or create a movie file showing how everything goes or what?

Please, I'd like some help on this!

Pictures and basic eventing would do the job.


If you have no clue on where to start it'd probably be best to look for an eventing tutorial.

No scripts needed -- you could make an NPC teach the player how to do stuff, or simply use "show text" at the beginning of the game to explain some things. After the player completes a task, show the next step.

You don't need scripts, that is basic eventing with show text commands and probably a few show choices and control variables/switches to steer the tutorials.
This is basic eventing, and if you're new to RM I suggest you follow the link in my signature to some of the tutorials to learn how to event quests (or in-game tutorials)

No, I'm not new to RPG Maker, I've been using it for a while. I just didn't know how to do it even though I know the some of the basics of eventing.

Though then again, everything I know is first hand experience so go figure.

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
