You know what?
Fuck it.
Super short starter crash course thread🧵 for the RPGmaker 2003.

Simply:
1.) Make a Project
2.) Make Maps
3.) Make Events

It comes with an inbuilt set of graphics and sounds, the RTP.
You can also easily import your own.
Example here: I imported the RPGmaker 2000 faces.

Main interface. Lotsa buttons.

Important parts:
Layers for map creation!
A database with all kinds of stuff to edit, including items and heroes!
An event system!

RIGHT CLICK IS KING! Right click everything for MORE OPTIONS! Well, most things. Events, maps, etc.

What's an event?
A chest to open. An NPC to talk. A switch to press. A bit of graphic to help cover some trees.

How do I make an event?
Event Layer. Right click a space. Create event.

Here's an example for making a chest, including remembering you opened it via a switch.
