All have dirty, rough edges to blend in with the decayed environment.

You also get clay tile roof, wood plank roof, metal, three types of shingles, and 10 types of walkable roofs. 10+ wall types (not including color variations). Tons of wall types in stucco, log cabin, metal building, wood planks, stone of lots of kinds. Water, green/toxic water, grass, sand, concrete, asphalt, dirt, stone, several green ground covers for variety, fences, broken ground, wildflowers and more! Also includes plenty of road stripes. Before I start this I would like to thank everyone who helped me with this process, meaning my family and my engineering teacher Ms.Explore a ruined modern city! The Urban Decay tileset for RPG Maker will give you plenty of broken-down, scratched-up, bombed-out tiles to help you expand your modern stories. Berbawy's Principles of Engineering class which can be learned about at this link All screenshots or drawings in this instructable are either made by or shot by me. This tutorial is designed to help people who intend to make Lisa-Styled RPG Maker games like me. This will go over a variety of topics and ways to work on a project like this. Even though it is possible and many developers (Especially Lisa game developers) have done solo game dev (including me) I do not recommend doing this process solo. However, regardless I intend to provide resources that will help with the design process regardless of what you choose to do. This instructable is meant for people who want to make a project that looks similar to the one above. Because making a game is such a involved process with tons and tons of creative freedom my instructable will not be as cut and dry as most others. (Left picture is my project, right picture is LISA: The Painful)Īn important part of making a Lisa game or any game for that matter is having a clear vision of what the project is supposed to be. When doing this sort of project solo I would recommended having a schedule of every goal so that steady progress can be chipped away at in this long arduous process. Since working solo is a lot more effort it is also essential to understand what skills need to be learned throughout the process such as art or coding. This tutorial is for this specific version of RPG Maker and for this specific niche of games in RPG Maker VX Ace so this tutorial will not be able to teach the use of RPG Maker traditionally. The engine is relatively expensive when it is not on sale so I recommend buying the engine on sale if you can. There are many programs that can be used for pixel art which is the specific style and niche that the game I made fulfilled but this is optional anyone can pick any sort of graphics that they want. The tool I personally used most was Aseprite because I found it the most intuitive but everyone has different preferences.

Some other programs I used which Graphics Gale is less user friendly but still a good program for making sprite sheets and such.Īll the programs I am about to recommend are free to use or freeware so that is not something that anyone has to worry about when starting pixel art. MS Paint is another program that may look primitive but is used by lots of game developers and artists who find that it works very well with their work ethic ( World of Horror).Īnother program is Grafx2 which is very traditional and uses layering concepts from photoshop and such and implements them into pixel art.

Paint.Net is pretty similar to other pixel art "paint" programs but quite a lot more easy to use and intuitive, I recommend checking most of these out just to see what is preferred. Tile Studio as said in the name is more focused on making tiles for pixel art in games which is definitely a big part of making a Lisa game. Photoshop is the only program I will include that costs money because many people have it for their job and such. Most people don't think of photoshop as a pixel art program but it can definitely be used that way and it actually works very well for pixel art.
