No BS Guide to RPG Maker MV

Hey, guys. I just wanted to share this series of RPG Maker tutorials that I'm working on. The tutorials are being made using RPG Maker MV, but I am hoping to make sure that the bulk of the series provides knowledge that can be transferable between the previous versions of the software, with the exception of a few things, such as plugin usage.

Obviously, being a small channel, and one that doesn't focus on RPG Maker (or have a relatively sizable audience to begin with), I need to look to other methods to get the word out and I figured that maybe I should post this here being that it is the official home of RPG Maker.

That being said, I wasn't sure if I should post this in the tutorial section or in here, as I am essentially promoting something of my own, even though at the same time, it is a series of video tutorials that I am promoting right now, rather than my YouTube channel as a whole. It's a strange predicament, but if any mods or admins feel it is appropriate to move this, that is fine.

Currently, I only have one video up and plan on making more, but I am looking for viewer participation as well. In the first video, I provide a homework assignment to create a new map and ask that viewers share their maps with me.

Obviously, you don't have to be a newbie to join in, and the first video contains information that is super basic, but if you know anyone who is interested in checking out RPG Maker, I'd appreciate it if you could pass the word on.

I plan to upload the next video this week, but if I do not, it will be no later than Friday of next week because I want to take my time and make sure these are videos anybody can follow. I don't have a set release schedule for the videos either as I've just been working on trying to get eyes on it for viewer participation, but if a few folks participate, I may speed up the creation.

Thanks for your time

Thank you for the work you did, in providing these videos. Which one is a tutorial on creating battles and customizing enemies' traits?

UPDATE: I'm sorry I haven't uploaded or updated these in a very long time. I'll do my best to explain here, but it'll get deep so TLDR in case you don't want the full story is I struggled making the videos and stopped.

The truth is I simply just didn't find the time. Shortly after my last upload, I was still struggling to find employment and needed to devote time to that. I had recorded some footage but still needed to edit it all together.

I did find a job eventually and during this time I did make a few side project one-off videos but my job was very demanding so it was difficult to find the time to really put much into the videos. A few months after starting my job, my mother passed away. Really, my drive for creating any content died off when she passed away. Even game projects I was working on, both in Unity and RPG Maker, got scrapped. My occasional Twitch streams stopped entirely and I just focused on work and my family.

Recently due to the Coronavirus, I was furloughed from my job so I have so much time on my hands, I don't even know what to do other than try to make some money to pay the bills. I've picked back up art commissions, I've jumped back into my 3D modeling and have been considering jumping back into RPG Maker content creation.

I don't want to promise that I'll continue this video series but I would like to try. I will update this thread with any new videos as I had done before. For now, I'd like to just apologize to everyone who enjoyed these videos as I know all too well what it's like to find something on YouTube that I enjoy only for the creator to just disappear and never finish.

Thanks, Phantom.

The video you are looking for is part 2. It covers the Enemies tab and the Troops tab. Many of the things I discuss builds off of things from previous tabs however, so if something in particular isn't discussed, it may have been discussed from a previous tab of the database.
