RPG Maker comes with some of these pre-made, which should be fine for this tutorial. Double click on the top row of the “Encounters” window and select a troop. The last thing we need to do on this menu is to set up some random encounters.
Check the box labeled “Auto-Change BGM”, and select background music that you think is appropriate for a dungeon. The next step is to give your dungeon some music. Choose a background that you think looks good. Check the box labeled “Specify Battleback” and then click on the three dots under it. The next thing to do is to choose the background for any battles that happen in this dungeon. You should also increase the size of the map since the default is quite small. Otherwise it will use the same tiles as the previous area, which is not right for a dungeon. The next thing to do is change the tileset. That will make it easier to find this map in the future. In general, it is a good idea to change the name to something that you’ll remember. That will bring up a window that looks like this: Right click on either of them (it doesn’t matter) and click “New Map”. Right now there should be a folder labeled “Practice” and under that is “MAP001” which is the only map that exists right now. On the left side under the tile selector is a list of all the maps in your game. You need to make a new map, and then you can create an entrance to it. Once you’ve done that you… actually can’t make the entrance yet, because you haven’t made the dungeon. Select a graphic appropriate for the entrance to a dungeon, like a cave entrance. You should already be in the event layer, now just double click somewhere to place the entrance to your dungeon. Once you’re done doing that we can move onto the next step. Click on the green play button here:Ĭreate a new game and you can talk to your new NPC. Now, let’s playtest this, to make sure that everything worked. When you get back to the original window, click OK again. Just type in what you want your NPC to say and click OK. You should see a window that looks like this: In the window that pops up, click on the first button in the upper left, labeled “Show Text”. Double click on the first line under “Contents” For now let’s leave that alone and instead give the character something to say. You can choose under the panel labeled “Autonomous Movement” whether they will move or stand still. You will go back to the menu you were using before. Double click on the tiled section under the word “Graphic” here:Ī new window should open up that looks like this:Ĭhoose a suitable appearance for your new NPC and click OK. Now, we need to decide what our new NPC looks like. This isn’t a bad idea so you can keep track of what your event was supposed to do.
In the upper left corner, you can give your event a name. There’s a lot going on here, but we don’t need to worry about most of it right now. Now that you’re in the event layer, double click on a square that is on land other than the square where your hero is. To do that, we need to be in the event editing layer. Now that we have some land, let’s give our hero someone to talk to. Now just select a tile from the top-left corner and spread some of it around, like this: If you click on the button I’ve circled in red, it will switch you into tile editing mode. In order to do that, we need to switch into tile editing mode. Your starting screen will look like this:īefore we do anything else, we need to make sure that our character doesn’t start the game standing in the ocean. It’ll ask you for a file name and game title. By the way, this tutorial does work mostly if you’re using RPG Maker 2003, but there will be a few places where you have to figure things out that I haven’t explained.įirst start up the software, and click File–> New Project. That should be enough to get you started on the road to making your own RPG.
