Uhm... Hi, guys. Currently, I'm not making a game, but I am studying RPG Maker a little more to have conditions in order to make a good game in the future and I'm having problems with arranging sprites when I'm "making" new resources.
Making battlers for side-view battles, making animations (and other things) has been quite a headache to me. I've got sprites and I arrange them in Photoshop upon templates, but the result is always a failure, because the position of the sprites in the image sheet never gets perfectly arranged, so I have to change it a lot while seeing the results in the RPG Maker... So... it's kinda endless......
For example, some days ago, I was trying something new in the RPG Maker 2k3. I was using battle animations as battercharsets and it... was FRUSTRATING. I was positioning sprites that had the size of a RTP charset (so it was very very small) and when I would check how the animation would be in RPG Maker, everything was a little messed up and I knew that the process would be endless, once the sprites were small and I would have to make a LOT OF CHANGES in the image sheet until having them arranged perfectly.
And sometimes I find incredible that there are so many people making resources that are so well arranged and I think "They MUST have a secret to do it well", so if you guys know some way to make this work easier, please, share it with me. I would be very very very very very very very very grateful. Then, see ya!
