When posting in the Tutorials Board, you are expected to read, understand the following rules and meet the minimum requirement to post new thread in this forum.

Remember:

• If you are a foreigner (Non-English speaker), we will only accept tutorials which have been translated into English. This is the Official English Forums, and everyone is required to interact in English. If your tutorial is entirely in Japanese/French/Spanish/German/Russian/Tagalog/etc. it will not be accepted.
  
• Your tutorial must be clear and concise. We will not accept poorly written tutorials. We will also not accept tutorials that is focused around the fan translation.
  

Template for posting a written tutorial:​

Tutorial topic: (Ex: How to edit sprites)

Brief description: Add a sentence or two describing what you will be discussing. (Ex: We will look at how to recolor sprites and ‘frankenstein’ multiple sprites together to create a new look.)

Requirements: List any required programs, scripts/plugins, background knowledge, etc that will be necessary to the tutorial. (Ex: Gimp, Photoshop, Paint.net or other image editing program that supports transparency.)

Tutorial body: Here is where you will put the details of your tutorial. Please write clearly, in English, and include necessary details. Screenshots are great, particularly in the case of complicated event tutorials. Do not simply post a link to a tutorial written elsewhere. You may provide the link at the end, after pasting the entire tutorial here.

Tags: Providing tags will help members find your tutorial more easily.
