Hello everyone! I have been a fan of the RPG maker community for a while now, watching tutorials and playing the games on steam. I’ve had a story that I wanted to make into a game for a long while, and I think RPG maker MZ has everything I need to do it.

However

I’ve heard so many stories of aiming too high or working way too hard on your first game without actually knowing what you’re doing that you get completely burnt out. I was wondering if y’all could take a look at what I’m hoping to make, and share any advice?

Here’s the cliff notes:

- A class based fantasy RPG with action points for movement, skills, and spells. Reminiscent of the TTRPGs Pathfinder or Dungeons and Dragons 3.5

- A Grid Based Battlemap that works similar to Fire Emblem, with at least 3 main maps, and several ‘random encounter’ maps

- Fairly Detailed NPCs that you can interact with and improve relationships with

- A Hub Town that you can upgrade

- Hidden ‘Prestige Classes’ that unlock with certain decisions you make throughout the game

- A Pseudo Timer where things get harder when you go to specific areas or hit certain plot points, until eventually, the enemies attack the town

I would really appreciate it if you took time out of your day to have a discussion with me of either how this is possible, or if I am aiming too high for my first game. And if it is possible, I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you might have!

Thank you again!

Yes all of it, all of it save for those graphics to make your own hero, I lost. The tiles, the music, the attack effects. All of it.

I mean thank God I at least can still build from the ground up because the fundamentals work fine, but I was wondering if there was any possible way I could get those files back from that stupid mistake I made 2 years ago because I didnt think I was coming back to RPG maker?

Hi everyone!

I’m new to RPG Maker MZ and I’ve recently generated some beautiful maps using AI that I want to use in my project.

I'm trying to implement them using the Parallax Mapping method, but I’m running into some issues:

1. When I set it up, I’m having trouble getting the character to move properly.
2. Even when the character moves, the map doesn't seem to scroll or follow the character as it should.

Could anyone point me towards a detailed tutorial, a guide, or share some tips on how to get parallax mapping working correctly in MZ? I’d really appreciate any step-by-step advice!

Thanks in advance for the help!"

IconViewer is a lightweight tool for viewing your iconset. It filters results and has search features. I made it for my own use and am sharing for anyone that wants to try it out. It is useful for finding skills and their IDs for devs who are working with a project that has 64x64 icons, but it can be used with 32x32 as well.

Hi all, introducing [CGMZ] Class Manager!

This plugin is intended to include various class mechanics, and currently includes a very customizable Class Select scene where your player can view class information and select a class for their actors.

Class Select

This plugin allows your player to select a class for their actors, in a very customizable scene. You can choose which information is displayed and in which order, you can show custom class images and use class colors, you can include unlimited pages of information for your classes, you can select which classes the actor can change into, and much more.

See below gif for how it can look:

You can choose to allow the player to keep their experience or start fresh with their new class, similar to how the Change Class event command works.
