Having an intro cut scene that's skippable by button press before the "new game" or "load save" menus are a great option to have your games stand out. If I start a game's executable and it just pops up with the generic rpg maker menu and a custom background it's a huge turnoff. It helps if the cut scene plays after idle at that main menu too.
I feel that, what always makes me feel like work has been put in the game is if the name of it pops up during a certain cutscene. And little animations make me even more hype 😂
I do agree that would be great but seems a little gate-keep-y like there is nothing wrong with a custom title screen being all you see. If a skippable intro video plays, awesome. If not, still good. Now if a default title screen shows... with default music and font... bleh.
Got rpg maker around a year ago or so and used your videos to help me learn about the game, after getting frustrated and quitting and now coming back, you're the first channel i go to and im so happy to see you're still on the grind! I love your videos and they help so much. NEVER QUIT!!!!
Why won’t anyone talk about his hair changing colors twice in this video? I just need closure that I’m not the only one who saw this. They look fabulous, obviously, but please! This can’t be ignored! 🥺😳
I would like to throw my hat in and say my Economic Trinity are must-have plugins (also free) :P Having more realistic merchants with limited stock inventory, multiple shops on same NPC, dealing with stolen items, factions/races/and more!
I was wondering if you have some tutorial for the Simple Quest System, bc i can't make it work correctly... sorry i'm so new in this. I found 1 tutorial about that system, but it was in russian, and they skiped some steps, idk if by mistake or something, and those steps, i don't know how to make them work. All of your tutorials are a blessing! Thank you!
Hi I starting learning RPGMaker even using your tutorials & have a few questions, 1-How to make an NPC grant the player 1 of 3 wishes? 2-How do you take an NPC monster & after beating it turn it into a normal person (NPC) who can then send you on a quest if you want tht?. How to make an NPC transfer you to where ever you want? I tried doing it but you can only put transfer on the tile & not the npc in RPGMaker MZ. Thanks for your help.
I have a question for you before I can answer that question. 1- What will the wishes grant you when the player gets 1/3? 2- You can use a self switch to change the NPC monster to a normal human. then use the eventer to create a quest 3. idk yet ill look into it.
Can you make a video explaining the purpose of (! $ S F) and other symbols that appear in the name of standard animations like doors, to know what they mean and their effect on the game. Thnx, love your vids.
I would also say, that the Visustella by yanfly are great plugins. All the Core Plugins come with a sample game, so everything is preinstalled. Of course for more coolness you need to buy some plugins, but all of these are based on the free CorePlugins.
Is there a video on your consultation services? Im making a sample game for my webnovel (The Isekai Game) with the goal of launching a Kickstarter and getting investors so I can launch the real deal.
Hi James. Not yet. I've been doing it privately before now and only recently started offering it. If you have any questions about my consulting services, you can feel free to send me an email at lvlupdes@gmail.com and I can answer them for you.
Hi ! I've just discovered your channel and it's perfect ! First of all thank you for all your content, this is gold for me, a total beginner at RPG MZ. Now, I have a question : Is it possible to add npc with bigger size model ? I would like to create a village of giant, so I tried to change a character model already existing in the base RPG MZ with Aseprite, but when comes the moment to add it on my map, I can only select one bloc (I mean 1 bloc = the regular size of chara.) so is there a way to add bigger models ? (I think it would be super cool and kind of original imo ! \o/). Well sorry if it's not clear and keep up the great work !
Sorry for the late response. I hope you found your answer. If you haven't the answer is yes. I prefer to have my character 2 tiles tall, so when saving the file into the character section, you just need to add the prefix "!" for example, !Actors.png or !NPC.png
I don't, no. Making plugins requires a deeper understanding of Java Script and the RMMZ codes. There's no real one way to make plugins. You're better off learning Java Script seperately and reading up on the classes and functions of RMMZ code.

Anything to make your game stand out!

I scrolled through the comments to find this one. Hilarious!
@@mylesjleeI did as well!
casper gaming is a litteral legend
He offers SO MUCH in his plugins and they are all free when complete!!
Good to see him getting more recognition1
He makes so many awesome plugins!
@@LvLUpDesign litteraly!
Your videos and his plugins have helped me through learning how to use rpg maker mz 😁

Started recently using RPGMaker, this channel has been my main guide to get it started.
Thank you for the work!
cool stuff, SRD hud maker is so useful I highly recommend it. Also mz3d hype!!
I really have to look into Hud Maker. To this day I'm yet to touch it.
Battle core by visustella is a great choice ngl (beside it's free ;D )
Yeah, it ads a lot of great, (fixes?) to the original system.
@@LvLUpDesign btw just finished my first atk sequence ever using that plugin it looks pretty cool
i cant stand visustella. I get really off vibes about that company so i refuse to use their products.

Really enjoy this video, I'm 100% going to use most of these plugins! By the way, any chance you'll one day teach us how to package a game for mobile?
Is it possible to go full screen without black borders? Just started in MZ yesterday and can't use the MV scripts I had.
Dudeee, I was having tea when you changed your hair color.. It is so dangerous with laptop cuz i sprey that tea. :D
God, you do have red hair. You said you didn't on stream but my suspections were true.
Wait it switched.
Everything went to plan~~~
@@LvLUpDesign bruh
your hairstyle changes so fast, it scared me😅 but it suits you
Do your MV tutorials also apply and work in MZ since both engine versions are so similar?
Mostly yes, some although MZ is able to do more than MV so most are forward compatible, just a few are not backwards compatible
@@LvLUpDesign awesome so I'll watch your MV tutorials and apply them in MZ as well; thanks!
2:02 whats the game that the cutscene is from?? it looks sick!
Final Fantasy VI, from PS1
Thank you for sharing.

Can you do a tutorial to make battles more interesting?
1:29 Explain how I get these for free? I’m new to plugins.
Currently listening to He Who Fights With Monsters... Umm...is that you narrating it?
Did your hair change color between the first and second cut?
And the 3rd
Nice video!
Wonder how hard it is to make these plugins...
1:27 it glowed lol

@@LvLUpDesign ok thanks. BTW, still waiting for that video on adult RPG Maker games ;^)
@@blackjew6827 UA-cam monetisation says no.
@@LvLUpDesign oh well...
你今天的造型很酷
