CUPCAKEMANS: The Best on Gamejolt @CUPCAKEMANS

Okay

I'm going to be doing a series

where I teach you how to make your RPG Maker game the best it can be!

So, without further ado, here is part 1

Custom Characters

Custom characters are, and I can not stress this enough (I've always wanted to say that lol) vital to making a good game. Some people just use the premade sprites. Don't do that. Also, it is not wise to use the character generator built in to RPG Maker. Now, your probably wondering: "But how else do I make a custom character"? It's actually quite simple! First, head to the character generator. Then, make it so the character has: No hair, no clothes, no accessory's (this sounds weird, but trust me)

Export this character

Then, launch your program of choice (I would recommend Gimp or getpaint.net (I use getpaint.net)

Then, open the character you exported earlier

now, just draw your character over each of the parts of the sprite (just use the sprite as a base)

once done, export it

then, go into RPG Maker, go into database, select "Characters" then "Import" then select the finished character sprite you just exported

and boom! Your done!
Hope you found this helpful!

While I was busy with my personal life, I've been trying to figure out the aesthetic of this game and since the hourly soundtrack is made in Microsoft Music Producer (an old Windows 98 program) I've decided to make the UI retro stuff inspired :) - Martin
