Re-introduction

[Caelumamittendum]

Hello all,

I have written an introduction post before, back in 2014, and then I barely participated due to life-things happening - health related amongst other things. I had actually forgotten I had made a post before - it was back in the VX Ace days apparently. I suddenly remembered RPG Maker again some weeks back, and I was pondering whether to get MV or not, but now I've gone ahead and bought it. I have been watching a ton of tutorials on YouTube, been reading some about the program, and all in all I'm actually excited to try and create something.

I'm not exactly sure what else to write, or even where to start - even if I've been watching tutorials. Would Darrin Perez' books be a good starting point?

Welcome (back)! MV is fun, if you know JavaScript it's twice as fun. If you have a project it's 4 times as fun, and if you work on a team, it's 3 times as fun.
The team modifier does stack on top of the project multiplier, and the JS multiplier is a factored against the final result.

You can add plugins, too, but the fun multiplier is kind of dependent upon compatibility

Thanks for the welcome back. I don't know JavaScript, but I suppose it could give me a reason to look into it.

Andar's tutorials are a good starting point as well
