Barred windows, cracks, shelves, weapons for the guards, dirty burlap mattresses in the cells–all those details bring the setting to life. Take some time to explore the tile sets and add details to the room.

Tiles are layered this way so that when the prisoner is in the jail cell, he or she can walk up to the door and appear to be standing behind it. How convenient! They are two tiles high, just like our walls. You’ll see a couple tiles that look exactly like a jail cell door. To add cell doors, switch to tileset layer “B” and scroll to the bottom. Why? Because one tile will remain open for the entrance–that’s where the cell door will go. Each cell should also be three tiles in width. Walls are two tiles high, so you have to extend the jail cells to give the prisoners enough room to wander. While doing so, it’s important to keep in mind perspective. Now we have a plain, depressing-looking jail.Īdd jail cells by painting three vertical walls extending down from the back wall. The lighter shade is usually the top view. Every wall has a top view and a side view. Now, because a jail usually has sturdy walls, pick the gray stone wall from tileset layer “A”. Click on an empty floor tile and simply paint over everything in the room except for the walls. In map editing mode, right-clicking on a tile clones whatever is in that tile–convenient for painting over scenery. Select it and press the space bar to edit its general settings. Right-click on Forest Town in the map list, then “Load…”, and then select “Weapon Shop.” You’ll notice a new map pops up at the bottom of the list, identical to the Weapon Shop interior you already have. The weapons shop interior provides an adequate template. RPG Maker MV comes with several dozen premade locations, but a jail is not one of them. Today we will be designing the interior of that prison and setting up the main quest. Just to recap the game’s plot, our hero, Lucius York, discovered a letter from his grandpa explaining that he had been arrested for owing rent and sent to debtor’s prison.

In Part III of our exploration of RPG Maker MV, we created a town for our game Mists of Tongass, added a few interactive townspeople, and learned how to enter and exit building interiors.
