This will save you a couple seconds of time, but that builds up with every single time you open up the game for a play test! Once the game is nearly done, then I would enable it but replace the default image with something of your own. The splash screen at the beginning (that popup that says “made with MZ/MV”) is generic and time consuming! What I recommend is disabling it altogether until you’re almost finished with the game. This makes those quiet sounds more formidable at 100%! What I do is turn most sounds to around 30% so that people adjust to that as the game’s base volume. Loud sounds are easy to fix since you can simply turn them down, but what do you do with quiet sounds? You can’t turn them up louder than 100%! (Default is 90%). If like me, you have a collection of sound assets from various creators around the internet, then you may have come across a problem: some sounds are much quieter than others.

I recommend updating the base code, adding your usual plugins, adjusting the settings (like what font and menu you’ll use, etc), changing the ui theme to your preference (I go to dark mode), and changing the tile background to a color that makes white easier to see! I recommend light pink or neon green since those colors don’t appear much, but it’s all up to your preference! You should do a few things to set up your project before you get started to streamline the process. The master list is any text document where you write out what the numbers correspond to so you can look something up later if you need to! Need more organization? You can expand the categories by replacing 1-9 prefixes with the letters of the alphabet or even more numbers! It may seem tedious, but this will save you SO MUCH time and suffering later when your collection grows! Here’s the next part to a post I did in last year’s 12 Days of Tumblr!īefore you even get started, I highly recommend deleting most of the default assets and replacing them with an organized set of your own! They can be your own creations or assets you collect from around the internet, but trust me, you want to come up with an organization system! When I made my first couple of games, I just threw everything in, and next thing I knew I had to scroll through hundreds of music tracks or tiles to find what I needed-what a nightmare! RPG Maker MZ has made this easier with subfolder support, but not to worry if you still use MV! Simply make a number system and a master list- for example, 1_ being a prefix for action music and 2_ a prefix for horror, etc.
