For two months, every friday, I will be hosting RPG Making workshops on my twitch stream, and we will make an RPG while discussing game design.

I also plan a second weekly stream during this time, a less structured one meant to help with peoples projects and act as a Q&A. I'm not sure yet what day of the week this one should be.

Anyone is free to enter, of any skill level, but this is meant to help beginners. Feel free to join if you are experienced and want to help other jammers!

The focus of the workshop streams will be on RPG design more than on the specifics of using any game engine - You do not need to use RPG Maker specifically to enter, but it will be easier to follow the workshop if you use the same engine I do, so RPG Maker MZ is recommended.

During the workshops, I will be developing an example game. To help keep the workshop accessible, my game will be very simple, and only use assets packaged with the software.

We will be going over general concepts, level design, combat design and general game design questions.

Entrants are free to work on their entries outside of the streams, but the example game I will be making will only be worked on during those streams, and I will make the source files public after each stream if anyone wants to see them or take from them.

At the end of the jam, we will play the entries together and discuss them, and hopefully learn some things in the process.

I have made a channel for the workshop on my discord server here:
