Which assets should I buy?

[yunka]

Hello friends. I am Autoher and Digital Arist. I don't know any coding. I want to make a story-oriented game with no action in the style of To the Moon. I want to do this alone. I'm asking you to know about something.

1- I want to go down this road with RPG Maker MZ. From what I've researched it seems reasonable. What is your suggestion?

2- The most important point. Soon, the steam dollar rate in my country will change. I need to buy everything I need on sale right now. I'm thinking of buying "2022 MZ SPECIAL BUNDLE Vol.3". I've also heard that we can use MV packages. In addition, I'm thinking of buying 2022 MV SPECIAL BUNDLE VOL.3" from steam. I want to make a commercial game by myself. What should I have in my cart. The moral value of this project is very important to me and the steam discounts will end soon. Please give your experience and support. I need.

It's possible with almost all the iterations of RPG Maker, and it just really depends on how much time and creativity you're willing to put into making your vision a reality.

To The Moon definitely used exclusive paid artworks and therefore that already sets the bar kind of high for you. My advice is to fool around in the engine a bit more and make a few small projects first if you haven't already.

I've also heard that we can use MV packages.

This is correct, provided you have purchased the rights to use the MV engine in addition to MZ's.

And there is tons of resource packs available right now but I would suggest something like the FSM packs and you can't go wrong. Time fantasy also has an enumerable amount of tiles and sprites for it.

RPG Maker'ın neredeyse tüm yinelemelerinde mümkündür ve bu gerçekten vizyonunuzu gerçeğe dönüştürmek için ne kadar zaman ve yaratıcılık harcamaya istekli olduğunuza bağlıdır.

To The Moon kesinlikle özel ücretli sanat eserleri kullandı ve bu nedenle bu, çıtayı sizin için şimdiden oldukça yükseltti. Benim tavsiyem, motorda biraz daha oyalanmanız ve henüz yapmadıysanız önce birkaç küçük proje yapmanızdır.



MZ'lere ek olarak MV motorunu kullanma haklarını satın almış olmanız koşuluyla bu doğrudur.

Ve şu anda tonlarca kaynak paketi var ama FSM paketleri gibi bir şey öneririm ve yanlış gidemezsiniz. Zaman fantezisinde ayrıca sayısız karo ve hareketli karakter vardır.

Thank you very much for the answers. This answer I received became one of the cornerstones of the project. My first priority is to watch engine related courses and youtube channels. If there is a course or channel you recommend, I would like to learn. I totally agree with your recommendation.

Finally, I want to ask you this. I can use the RPG MAKER assets that I bought through my steam account, not on the Rpg Maker site, commercially, and I can paint and manipulate it, right?

Apart from my daily work life, I will build my game with small steps, one in a garage on the ground floor of my house. I hope that I will write under this message that it will be published one day. Thanks a lot again.

That's usually not the case. The OP is talking about paid DLC, which is not going to be based on the MV RTP. That means there's no rights requirement to own MV (unless it's specified in the terms of use, which I've never seen. I've seen restricted to use in RPG Maker, but never a specific version).

However, the thing to be careful about is that if you're buying all this through Steam rather than the DLC store on this site, you can't buy MV DLC if you don't own that software. Regardless of the compatibility of the files, Steam won't let you do it. You can buy almost all of the packs here and use the files in whichever software they'll work in.

Generally speaking yes. All of the packs have their own terms of use and it should say very clearly in the product description that you are permitted to use them in commercial projects and that you can edit them for your personal use.

I will buy Rpg Maker Xp, VXAce, VX, MV, MZ all because the Steam dollar rate in my country is low (it will change soon). It comes at a very affordable price. Besides, 2022 MZ SPECIAL BUNDLE Vol.3 + 2022 MV SPECIAL BUNDLE Vol.3. I will buy it with the program + DLCs. In this case, it is not necessary to get it from the rpgmaker site, right? (For commercial use)

The packs are the same things from the same author. It doesn't matter where you buy it from, it will have the same terms of use.

Thank you very much for helping.
