[RMMZ] Are there any tutorials for making maps using FSM tilesets?

I have a few tilesets I downloaded from steam under the FSM category. They include Castles and Towns, Woods and Cave, and Town of Beginnings. Are there any tutorials in using these tilesets? I have the manual and guide included with the download, but I guess I have been spoiled with video tutorials lately. I'm using MZ.

An ODE to Final Fantasy

My latest blog. Kinda related to RPG Maker... Final Fantasy did inspire me in my love of fantasy and my desire and love of writing. The last part where I talk about the current game I am working on for my daughter is what it all culminates to. Anyway, I thought I'd share...

[RMMV] [RMMZ] RPG Maker MZ Free???

I have been working on my current project for a couple weeks using MV, a custom tailored game for my daughter. While looking through tutorials, I checked out a couple of reviews of MZ. I decided to check out the store page on Steam and saw a button that said "free". There was also a button for buy (with a discount). The free button said "ends in 4 days." So, naturally, I clicked on the "free" button. In downloaded and installed MZ.

First off, I have to say, I love the aesthetic of the art in MZ. And the Active Time Battle System is great (though I am unsure if I want to use that for my daughter's game... she's turning 6 in three months). In any case, if I switch to it, I am still early enough in development that it won't be too much of a hassle. Still, I don't know if the "free" is just a timed demo or the "free" was a limited time offer of getting the software for free.

I was going to wait until after I completed her project to check it out, but now that I have MZ, I almost WANT to use that version.

[RMMV] I'm making a game for my daughter

Hello. My name is Sal. I've dabbled with RPG Maker for a while now but have never created a game fully.

My daughter is 5 years old and she has been become quite the little gamer. She plays a variety of games, but recently, she has been playing a lot of Minecraft and Miitopia lately (even got me back into playing MC and we have been enjoying the latter, together). She just finished Pre-k and has made remarkable progress with reading. At the start of the year, she only knew her alphabet and now impresses me with her reading capability.

Taking all of those into account and the fact that Miitopia is a wonoderful introduction to RPGs like the ones that I played when I was young (Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy), I thought it would be a wonderful gift to make a custom RPG for her. I have been writing the story and getting the basics together. I hope to start production within the week (actually developing the assets and making the game).

The kicker is her birthday is in 3 months (September 14th) and I know that doesn't give me a lot of time. I thought I'd drop a line now as I may be seeking assistance as development progresses. I realize that I may not complete the game, but if I can at least finish an "Act" or two by her birthday, that would be a great start at least. Anyway, while some resources, like charsets, battlers, etc. (I'm no artist) and music (I'm certainly no musician) would be great, perhaps the biggest assistance I could ask for is testers. I'm far from that stage, but I just wanted to get that out there.

In closing, first, I wanted to put this out in case anybody is interested in helping (whether through testing, resources, plugins and programming, or even just suggestions and tips). Also, while this project is personal, I may consider releasing the game commercially. I'm a writer by trade (well, I'm working on it) and anything I can get out to fund (even just a little) my writing career would help. Thanks for your time and I look forward to talking with you all and sharing my experience.
