Title: RMVX Ace Basics Video Tutorial Series
Post by: XIV on June 09, 2012, 02:57:12 PM
RMVX Ace Basics is a video series that will be covering all aspects of the engine from basic user interface, project creation, map drawing, event creation and database population through resource importing, script editing and, possibly, other (more advanced) topics. The series is aimed at the beginners who just got the software but have no to little idea in where to start in creating their games.

I'll try to keep this thing as updated as possible. Of course, comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Section 1: User Interface
This section skims over the basic user interface and ways to access most of the functions in the project editor.

Seems like you are aiming to be very comprehensive. I wish you the best of luck. In SMF, hyperlinks don't require the "http//" that other forums do, so I edited your post to fix the links.
