I hope this video helps you to create beautiful maps for your games! Beginner Tutorial.
This time I put a bit of commentary over my mapping timelapse, which was kinda hard, as I'm not used to speaking english! Haha.

If you have any questions please let me know in the comments below.
I'd also like to create more videos about game dev or game art in the future.

If you wonder how to handle the passability... here's an additional tutorial for that:

Feel free to tag me on twitter and show me some of your maps.

    If you are wondering how to do the passability / collisions for your maps... because your player character is stuck after importing the images into the engine... I made an additional video explaining that! Find it here: https://youtu.be/WGBnUv6Pw2o
  • This is incredible, I picked up RPGM MV last night and have been researching and practicing for the last day, your maps are incredible, can't wait to see more process videos!!

    There's too many tutorials on this concept, and yours is simply the best. Good mapping, excellent knowledge on light concepts, especially on how to use color with lights, and you actually end up with something that is nice to look at. One tutorial I found, they merged the light and shadows into the same layer!
  • @Sheolstuff
    This was probably the clearest RPG Maker tutorial I've ever seen!

    The only useful parallax mapping tutorial I was able to find with essential information. Tysm.
  • paralax is still a little above my skill level but, am learnin lol, its always fun seeing the proper solution to things I cheese best I can lol. still cant cheese lighting yet so its nice to watch these to try and learn again. still ended up lost 2/3rd to but considering im using cs6 lol, might partly be just cause photoshops confusing. definitely coming back once I know it better.
  • @TheFrozenFever
    That's a really nice looking room you made, vibrant and lively lighting to it.

    Incredible work, would love to see more of these especially focused on other types of indoor areas. Also curious as to what resources you use if any outside of the standard assets? The hardest part is wrapping your head around certain good design practices that seem to come naturally to you. For example, would be curious to see your explanation as to why you put certain objects in certain places in relation to the previous map you made of the bedroom with the moonlight coming through. Anyways appreciate your stuff, any chance to learn more from you is appreciated.
