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!

I've decided that I'll be posting some stuff from the game to showcase the features implemented so far - first is the DIFFICULTY SELECTION, the very first thing that greets you in the game! HYSTERIYA and HARDCORE mode are locked behind beating Episode 1!
