“It’s hard to believe you can do good work for the little amount of money these days. We did ‘The Graduate’ and that film still sustains. It had a wonderful script that they spent three years on, and an exceptional director with an exceptional cast and crew, but it was a small movie, four walls and actors, and yet it was 100 days of shooting.”

Dumb Notes:

-don't write your characters around the story:
i.e. character sees dragon on mountain.
-write the story around your characters:
i.e. character sees dragon, seeing dragon changes character.

-let emotion drive the scene. i.e. Will they make it out of this alive?
-let anger drive the action. i.e. "Are you crazy? I'm not picking that up!"

How to make better rpgmaker trailers!!!

This is a really cool trailer. 30 seconds long. it uses the walking shots only,
but they add variety to it, so it's not just walk shots. great work. great stuff.




you can play the game here.

Just sharing this cool moment in the Capcom presentation from yesterday. When they're talking about the new VR stuff, they show this really great overview of all the small features they added to VR like dual gun twirling, etc before going into a really great demonstration that very clearly shows how each weapon controls in VR:

"The Knife," throws knife
"Handgun," fires handgun
"Shotgun" fires shotgun.

I loved it.

I wanted to show this one before I forget. This one was really good it's only 1:50 long.
You don't need extraordinary special effects or narration or anything like that.
You just need really good editing. Every clip here is about 2 seconds each,
but even the least interesting clips look exciting in this. (the one where he shovels every spot is really cool - only 2 seconds)
This is what you're aiming for here.

This does a really good job at showing you what the game is about without actually playing it.
The only time they use text here is to quickly explain/clarify something they otherwise can't show through the footage.

I don't think we'll seen a more divisive trailer of 2023, than this one.



Alot of interesting takes in the comments, some people are saying it's because it's not a 3D prince of persia,
others are saying it's the choice of music.

I think the first half is kind of garbo - 2.5D feels kind of restrictive, in this trailer,
however, second half of this trailer (which I timestamped here for the thread) is pretty great.
It feels like everything super metroid wanted to do and left us off with.

Ran across this today while browsing:

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/how-to-get-better-game-capture-for-your-trailer?mc_cid=25105995fd&mc_eid=c130367b44

A more professional look on how to gather footage for your game. A lot of stuff I didn't even consider. Worth reading if you're looking for a more in depth look on "game capture" and "trailer creation".

I had no idea they got other companies to do trailers for their games.

I always thought it was more like the comicbook cover approach? That getting someone else in your "team" to do the cover/trailer for your product, will give them a better idea of what to look for in your game, because they'll have a better idea of what the highlights are.

My friend Edward on Newgrounds mentioned Sega used Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" in their latest trailer. It's hilarious how well this works here XD. When I originally made this tutorial/article it was mostly to get people to stop wasting time, trying to explain their game and just sort start focusing on making tightly edited clips that explains your game better in the least amount of time -- Be sure to check this one out too.

They do it all under 2 minutes and It's really fun to watch.



(I still plan to add more jrpg commercials as I find them, I'll add them to the previous post)

How to make better rpgmaker trailers!!!

2022 Update: a couple of years ago. I came across a youtube channel that had a plethora of "old" japanese commercials from 1994 to the late 2000s, which mostly covered playstation stuff. I sometimes use them to study how to market jrpgs. However, very recently peeps are uploading these old commercials in better quality and even translating some of them - It's very hard to find jrpgs commercials before 94' in such great quality in 2022. So I'm gonna start backing up and uploading a few copies here as I find them.

Breath of Fire Commercials: BOF1 to Dragon Quarter



Lufia/Lufia2 - Estpolis Denki




Secret of EverMore 1995




YS: The Oath In Felghana 2006(probably the trailer I've watched the most)




Valkyrie_Profile 1999 - Valkyrie Anatomia 2019



How to make better rpgmaker trailers!!!

We were talking about American McGee's Alice in discord today.
Had no idea the Mac and PC demos back in the day had an exclusive trailer and music cooked into the demo.
Someone thankfully uploaded it to youtube so I don't have to hunt it down.


Every single clip in this trailer is 2 seconds.
(*Other than the 2 major set pieces that play at the end)

Generally this is what you're trying to aim for when making a trailer, saying the most, in the least amount of time.

How to make better rpgmaker trailers!!!

3 Second Intro,
Another 3 seconds before showing the title
It still uses text, but everything is so tightly edited here in 1 minute, it doesn't matter.
The main thing is the timing. get the timing down, it's the most important part of making a good trailer.
Having something this concise, Not only shows your conviction, but your confidence in the product.




This is a really great example, because I don't even play MineCraft and I'm already interested; that's how good this is!
Anyone can do this, it's just better, shorter, more thoughtful editing - when you're making a trailer for your rpgmaker game,
think about what clips you want to show in a span of 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 2 seconds. etc.

You don't need special effects or a fancy video editor to do this stuff.
It's just better editing.

Making Your Game Work Without the RTP

I wrote a similar article not too long ago. But it's probably too difficult to find. I guess the name is everything? i'll add this to the masterlist.
https://rpgmaker.net/tutorials/2610/

Or maybe it's too long winded? I dunno.
(TLDR/Summary of Steps):
1.Edit RPG_RT.ini with "FullPackageFlag=1" to run without RTP
-Go into your game project folder
-Find a file called “RPG_RT.ini”,
-Add “FullPackageFlag=1”, Save.

2. Download Harmony.dll and place it in your project folder with the RPG_RT.exe (not needed for steam RM2000/RM2003)
Harmony.dll for RM2000
Harmony.dll for RM2003

3. Download RMtools [
4.Download the corresponding rtp:
Don Miguel's RM2000 RTP
RPGAdvocate's RM2003 RTP
----------------------------------------
RMWEB/Steam RM2000 RTP
RMWEB/Steam RM2003 RTP

5. Use RMtools to scan/import missing RTP files for rpgmaker2000/2003 (or merge the corresponding RTP folder)

6. Test your rpgmaker game on a computer that does not have rpgmaker installed. (or temp rename the RTP folder for testing)
7. If no errors are found, you're done!
