About this book

Create your very own role playing game using the RPG Maker MV game development engine. You'll go through tutorials and exercises that will take you from installing the software to putting the final touches upon your first project. Beginning RPG Maker MV has been designed with the complete beginner in mind who has little to no experience with the engine. It includes full JavaScript code, replacing the old Ruby commands.

Game design can be quite a daunting challenge, as it generally involves a large amount of programming know-how on top of having to plan everything out that makes a good game what it is.

  • Takes you from the start of a project to the completion of a small game.
  • Provides a step-by-step process that will walk you through each stage of the creation process.
  • Gives many helpful tips and tricks you can apply to your future endeavors with the engine.

What You Will Learn

  • Use switches and variables to affect the game world
  • Populate your areas with non-player characters that serve a wide range of roles
  • Use the database which serves as the backbone of RPG Maker MV
  • Create dungeons with two types of enemy encounter
  • Create fun and varied mini-games and side-quests to serve as distractions from the main plot
  • Write scripts using RPG Maker MV’s Script Editor
