The first one being a closed door, if the player interacts with it it just displays 'The door is locked, I need a key'. The Atrium door likewise have several pages. This is to prevent the player from picking up more keys when they already have it. This page is empty and doesn't have the graphics of a key at all. In the key event you make a second page, the precondition being that 'Atrium key' is possesed. When you interact with the key you play a sound effect, display a message saying 'You found the Atrium Key' and then Change item to add the key to your inventory. If you want to skip that step and go straight for the advanced stuff : conditional branches, it's basically the same thing but more like actual programming works.īut for starters you can make an item and call it key, create a graphic for it and place it on your map where you want it as an event. If we're talking keys and doors and such it's all about placing events and learning about the preconditions on the event pages and working with multiple pages. It's maybe a bit overkill, but you can cram a lot of graphics into a charset if you know what you are doing thanks to the 'fixed graphic' animation of an event.Īs for puzzle, it all depends on what kind of puzzle you mean, if you mean a literal puzzle, like a jigsaw, then it's gonna need a lot of pictures and a system for moving them into positions, or swapping positions with other pieces. This is because you can use those objects in any map regardless of what tileset is being used.

They're both on sale there right now, and you'll get a Steam key when you make the purchase, so it's not any different from buying them on Steam (other than being cheaper).Not sure what you mean with 'best tileset' I tend to place most objects in a charset. If you're looking to make your purchase within the next few days, you might consider buying them at Fanatical instead of Steam. MZ usually goes on sale for $40-$45 and MV usually goes on sale for $15-$20, so it's kinda a ripoff to pay $80 for either of them. MV is cheaper than MZ, so if you're on a tight budget, then a decent case could be made for using MV instead, but otherwise MZ is the way to go.Ĭonsidering that MV no longer supports Mac, and considering some of the nice updates that MZ has gotten (and will be getting shortly), and considering that MZ's plugin library has become fairly extensive, and considering that MZ regularly goes on sale for about half price these days, I honestly think that it's about time for everyone to start moving on from MV.ītw, whatever version you decide to buy, make sure that you get it while it's on sale. If you're not already heavily invested in MV, then there's not a good reason to *not* be using MZ, unless money is a big concern for you. However, I don't agree with the way that those people often try to steer everybody else towards MV as well. Since, on the surface, MZ didn't seem notably different from MV, it's honestly pretty understandable that some people didn't feel that it was worth it to switch over. Either they didn't want to spend the money, or they didn't want to spend the time/effort/money to try to find replacements for the plugins that they were already used to using, or they were already in the middle of developing a game and didn't want to switch engines halfway through. The reason you will see a lot of recommendations for MV is because when MZ came out, a lot of people didn't want to switch over. You will see a lot of people recommend MV instead, but MZ is objectively better in pretty much every way. It has the most features, and the best performance, and the most stability out of all the versions currently available. RPG Maker itself is not a game, but rather a development environment, and engine, used to make games.īut to answer your question, the current best version of RPG Maker is MZ.

But the context of your post makes it seem like what you actually want is the RPG Maker software, rather than a game. Just as a heads up, when you say 'RPG maker game', it implies that you're asking about a game that was developed using RPG Maker.
