As far as graphics go, there are different options. Personally, I use Gimp and I find it plenty sufficient for most RM needs. I believe others use Paint.net though I've never tried. And somewhere in the forum there are instructions to get CS2 for free (legally).

As far as sound and music, I have no clue.

Take some time, read some stickies and you'll find pretty much everything you're asking for.  Program and Utility Discussion has links and discussions about many of these programs.  If you want to see resources that are already made, there's the Resource Showcase.  There's a thread called Resource WIP which will be helpful when you need feedback on how to best make this stuff.

For sound, you can use Audacity, and for Music, there's a program called LMMS.  MsLittlefish uses LMMS to create her music.  Both programs run on Linux and Windows.

As for graphics, the GIMP is pretty good for most of your needs.

No, that is not correct.
Adobe doesn't care for people using CS2 illegally, but the download mentioned specifically states that you need to own the license for CS2 to be able to use the alternate code given (the original codes no longer work because the servers for them were shut down), and you need to register to adobe in order to get there, so theoretically they have your IP if they ever decide to check the required licenses for CS2.


That said, CS2 has become rather cheap, I purchased my copy used for about 50$ one or two years ago.

Audacity for Music is good to have. GIMP or the tutorial I linked above for graphics. Good luck!

I've moved this thread to Program and Utility Discussion. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


Am I correct in assuming this software and free resources are for use in an RPG Maker game?

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'??
