I have been looking for this tutorial for over a year and now you are finally the one who made this kind of video. You are really great because you made a very clear tutorial of this. Exactly what I needed. In return, I subscribed to you. I like your videos. It is very informational. Thanks for your very detailed tutorials. I willl share it with my fellow RUclipsrs.
I was planning to create a game for my graduation project, and these tutorials seem incredibly helpful... Thank you so much! I've been searching for videos like these!
All of these are really well-done, coherent, and I love the reminders for key commands. Thank you, I will definitely keep an eye out for any other tutorials you post!
Just got RPG Maker MV for my Macbook, was getting started, but I didn't know how to make neat-looking maps to test things in, which is one of my favorite parts, the creation of a world. So this tutorial is really great, and I'm definitely gonna be watching the rest!
The result is gorgeous. I did a lot of mapping in Vx ace, but with MV and your tutorial, I think I have an excellent opportunity to recreate my game better.
+Fallen Lorelei Do you know how to do some sun rays all over a map? I would love to do some on my maps. I just give you some eventual ideas for your next guides. (I'm not english so I dont think my english is perfect.)
I haven't finished the tutorial yet, but I had to comment just because you blew my mind with the "Photoshop can overlay a 48px grid". I've been using a template I made, copy-pasted into every tileset I've edited. I'll still need templated for the auto-tile pages, but still this is gonna be really useful haha. Looking forward to the rest of the tutorial.
Hi Fallen Lorelei, I am a French photographer and I love so much your soft voice and your pretty smiles !!! Continue your excellent tutorials! You are the sun of all RPG Makers !! Best Regards and kisses from France.
My only real complaint is that you didn't explain at the beginning exactly what "parallax mapping" _is_. I think I figured it out as you were explaining the how, but I still don't really _know_ know. Other than that, though, I found this really easy to follow, and it wasted a lot less time on things that are self-explanatory than many tutorials do.
I just started playing around with RPg Maker and you were extremely helpful and wonderful to listen to (as a beginner Thank you!) I am def. Liking and Subscribing.
Hi lorelei :) Great tutorial! I'm on linux with MV and gimp and I just managed to do everything in gimp aswell. setting up the grid etc. really awesome and some whole new level of creating maps! thanks for your tutorial, it is very well done!
This got nothing to do with parallax mapping. If you are looking for that -t his video-miniseries is not for you, here it is just "lets use photoshop to slightly change the looks of the background"
Just wanted to mention in case someone didn't already if you right-click on your map selection in RPG maker you can save it as an image and it will only save the map. You can then just open that image in photoshop and drag it into the new canvas layer! Happy creating!!
I literally SCREAMED when I tried this; this tip is such a time saver! I have been literally quilting maps together from screenshots for way too long. Thank you SO much!!
I just got the ancient dungeons resource pack. Ok so THIS is how they did those screenshots :O So pretty much you have to make your skeleton map and then touch it up all fancy in photoshop :) Thanks, that's definitely going beyond just tiling a map. lol. I'll give it a shot, maybe do a video of my attempt. Thanks again!!!
I'm so glad this tutorial is helping people still!! This video super outdated but some concepts (especially in PART 2) are still relevant! I now livestream with a virtual avatar on Twitch, so I hope you can check me out from time to time :) I'll be playing all sorts of games - including RPG Maker sometimes! Twitch.tv/LoriVT or go to loreplays.games :D
Just started messing around with rpg maker and your maps look amazing! Is there any chance of you doing an updated version? Or would most of this still work for MZ
Hey Fallen, When I try to take my PNG of my map, it is shrunk in Photoshop? I did the whole multiplay by 48 and did a screen shot and nothing seems to be aligned right. Help?
Thank you for all your help. As of now i think i;m not going to use parallax mapping, but Lord willing i will in the future. You inspired a map that i put in my game...not sure when it'll be done, but i will let you know.
That was weird. Your trees were under the water tile then above it in game test. I've heard of "just seeing things" but that was interesting.Thanks for the tutorial, will be watching. I didn't even understand Parallax till just now...
What version Photoshop should I buy ? I went on the website and it wants me to pay monthly fees to use it , I thought you could just buy it and that would be it.
hey, on minute 3:16 you have alot of tiles, i only have the first 6 lines that you have... this is a dlc? how did you get all that? i have to activate something? i cant make the tutorial because i dont have all this tiles. thanks!
hey, first of all, thanks for your great tutorial, i think this will help me alot with what i have planned to do! but i have a question: in another tutorial from someone else, it was adviced to use the same plugin you use for top and lower layer parallax mapping, so the character might walk beneath some objects. i created my own map in photoshop and tried it in RPGMV, when i started the game, sadly i got an error saying my map was too big: its 100 x 100 tiles big, so maybe i went a bit overboard with it. what is the max height and length of a parallax map that works with the said plugins? thanks in advance!
+Belias I'm actually not sure what the max size of the plugin supports! 256x256 is the max for MV, so it's weird that it doesn't allow 100x100. Huh. You could always contact the BindPicturesToMap developer, or try another overlay plugin, such as Kaus?
i'll try to contact the dev. so are you developing a game with rpg maker? which size of maps do you usually go with? i heard that if your map is too big, it might lag because of all the NPCs walking and stuff going on.
It's true that a larger map might cause some lag, but I think 100x100 isn't *too* large here. I make smaller maps because I don't like having lots of wasted space, but it certainly depends on the type of map =D if it's a huge forest or maze, then 100x100 is fine~ Right now in the game I'm making, the biggest size is 40x45 so far haha but it feels kinda cramped
Thanks so much for this! I'm nervous about doing maps cause I do want them to look great. Your tutorial is great for a photoshop newb like me. I am going to finish building my game and come back and spruce up the maps. If I release it I'll be sure to give you a thanks!!!
+Зенон Рокоссовитския I think the title will be "In Between" and its going to be about kinda what I feel like might happen when we die. Your adventure will take place in a realm between Life and Afterlife. Thank you for wishing me good luck!
I’m using 1920-1080 screen resolution in game. I’m getting a lot of images that are literally just repeating. I’ve tried adjusting the dimensions heaps. My guess is parallax doesn’t like 1920-1080
Near the beginning, you added a message about changing the resolution through scripts. How do you determine the size of the map? I guess a better way to ask this is, how big is each tile in pixels?
+Ravani Lestari Nevermind, I jumped the gun on that question before you mentioned multiplying by 48 in the video. I'm a bit anxious because i have huge maps that I want to parallax. Forgive me! :)
The first RPG Maker tutorial with a person's voice I like listening to. Thanks a lot! Great video!
It's 2020 and I'm learning so much from this.
Thank you.
I realize it's kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online?
@Joseph Westin flixportal
@Felix Joseph Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!!
@Joseph Westin no problem :)
Holllaaaa! Good luck with your projects and learnings of RPG Maker MV!
OMG it's the Bob Ross of RPG Maker Mapping.
I thought the exact same... I came for the information, stayed for the soothing voice.
"Somewhere behind those tress there is a little event"
She really beat the devil out of this map.
We're gonna add some friendly trees and these trees are friends so don't be scared to put them next to each other
I have been looking for this tutorial for over a year and now you are finally the one who made this kind of video. You are really great because you made a very clear tutorial of this. Exactly what I needed.
In return, I subscribed to you.
I like your videos. It is very informational.
Thanks for your very detailed tutorials. I willl share it with my fellow RUclipsrs.
I was planning to create a game for my graduation project, and these tutorials seem incredibly helpful... Thank you so much! I've been searching for videos like these!
i cant really focus on this tutorial at first because your voice is so adorable. i had to watch this like twice
All of these are really well-done, coherent, and I love the reminders for key commands. Thank you, I will definitely keep an eye out for any other tutorials you post!
+Ryan Sturm Thanks so much!! I'm glad you liked them =D
Finally someone explained it so I can understand. Thank you. Wish you were making more videos.
please don't second guess yourself I am a dummy when it comes to photo editing and making maps on MV I find this quite valuable to my own efforts
Just got RPG Maker MV for my Macbook, was getting started, but I didn't know how to make neat-looking maps to test things in, which is one of my favorite parts, the creation of a world. So this tutorial is really great, and I'm definitely gonna be watching the rest!
well after months of using MV I just realized the "Save as image" function...thanks!
Excellent, clear and concise tutorial series with the addition of a beautiful voice. Thank you very much.
The result is gorgeous. I did a lot of mapping in Vx ace, but with MV and your tutorial, I think I have an excellent opportunity to recreate my game better.
+Tohisu Kael I'm so happy you think so! Good luck with your mapping :D :D I'm sure they'll look great~
+Fallen Lorelei Do you know how to do some sun rays all over a map? I would love to do some on my maps. I just give you some eventual ideas for your next guides. (I'm not english so I dont think my english is perfect.)
I actually plan on making a sun-rays tutorial tomorrow! =D
Awesome video! The explanations are thorough, new ideas are presented, and this tutorial is extremely high quality.
Finally, a worthy tutorial, my parallax will be legendary
I haven't finished the tutorial yet, but I had to comment just because you blew my mind with the "Photoshop can overlay a 48px grid". I've been using a template I made, copy-pasted into every tileset I've edited. I'll still need templated for the auto-tile pages, but still this is gonna be really useful haha. Looking forward to the rest of the tutorial.
Hi Fallen Lorelei, I am a French photographer and I love so much your soft voice and your pretty smiles !!! Continue your excellent tutorials! You are the sun of all RPG Makers !! Best Regards and kisses from France.
Lovely tutorial! even after all these years, it`s still good and helpful
Your voice is out of this world.
Basic mapping or not, this helped a lot. You've just got yourself a new subscriber!!!
This is basic enough that it helped me. If you had fun, keep it up.
My only real complaint is that you didn't explain at the beginning exactly what "parallax mapping" _is_. I think I figured it out as you were explaining the how, but I still don't really _know_ know. Other than that, though, I found this really easy to follow, and it wasted a lot less time on things that are self-explanatory than many tutorials do.
Thank you, lately i don't understand about all tileset function and used it, but from now on really understand^^
I just started playing around with RPg Maker and you were extremely helpful and wonderful to listen to (as a beginner Thank you!)

If you are looking for that -t his video-miniseries is not for you, here it is just "lets use photoshop to slightly change the looks of the background"
I just started and I'm just so thankful that you gave time to do this so thank you very much and i'll be heading on to part 2 now :DD
I love how the "game" is listed as Minecraft in the description :^)
Yeahhhh i think the same aksjdaksjda
Just wanted to mention in case someone didn't already if you right-click on your map selection in RPG maker you can save it as an image and it will only save the map. You can then just open that image in photoshop and drag it into the new canvas layer! Happy creating!!

I'll give it a shot, maybe do a video of my attempt. Thanks again!!!
I learned a lot about using outdoor tileset. Thank you. Was struggling with creating three-dimensionality. :(
Good video. Actually, you solved my problem with the Photshop grid and tileset space, thx. Keep doing these videos. :)
Thanks so very much! so helpful and easy to understand.
Ok I think I got it. Sent it to Photoshop, expanded it by the right amount of magnification, it looks aligned now :)
I'm so glad this tutorial is helping people still!! This video super outdated but some concepts (especially in PART 2) are still relevant!

Awesome tutorial, it really helped
"welcome to rpg maker mapping with bob ross, today, we will make a lovely parallax map for out main character's house"
Terrific tutorial! Thank you for creating!
+1 subscriber. I'm gonna watch all your videos. That's all I want to say. Thank you
You are wonderful for making this. Thank you so much.

+iLostMyKeys iC You're welcome!! Glad it helped you :D

I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos.
+James Knox I'm glad it helped you -D
I loved your tutorial... thanks a lot!
Love listening to you ..
Thank you so much! Now i can start my first map :)
That was weird. Your trees were under the water tile then above it in game test. I've heard of "just seeing things" but that was interesting.Thanks for the tutorial, will be watching. I didn't even understand Parallax till just now...
"I will also be using Photosh-"
**exits out of the video**
just crack it ez
It's not like you even need Photoshop to parallax. Free programs like Krita or Medibang work just as well, but if you have Photoshop why not use it.
Thanks a lot, I am using this technique in game maker with rpg maker 2k sprites!
Loved your tutorial
What version Photoshop should I buy ? I went on the website and it wants me to pay monthly fees to use it , I thought you could just buy it and that would be it.
Photoshop CS6 is a good choice.I've used it for a long time.
you don't need spendy art software. you can use clip studio medibang or krita.
Thank you so much for the help. Watching this set helped me P-lax tremendously. : )
You're great...keep it up. Huge help. ~Cheers
i'm in love with your voice ♥ ... and ty

Thank you, helpful stuff you got here ^_^
You can right click on the the map in the map list and click "Save as Image..." No screenshots required.
Great tutorial!
@15:10 Does the 72 pixels per inch matter when making new canvas?
ok. you're the best!
YOOOU AREE AWESOMEEE!!!
Thanks so much for this! I'm nervous about doing maps cause I do want them to look great. Your tutorial is great for a photoshop newb like me. I am going to finish building my game and come back and spruce up the maps. If I release it I'll be sure to give you a thanks!!!
