Creating a brand new project is the first step in producing a video game in RPG Maker XP and it's incredibly simple to do...
1. Open RPG Maker XP.
2. Click the 'New Project' icon found in the top left hand corner of the screen, number 10 on the diagram above.
3. This will bring up the New Project menu (shown above). Choose a folder name and a name for your project (these can both be changed in the future)
4. Click OK, and your new project will load up in a matter of seconds.
As you can see, this new project will be relatively empty. RPG Maker XP provides everything needed in the scripts that come built-into the program (more about that later) and the RTP (Runtime Package) resources. While this guide will mostly use RTP-Based resources, a large host of unique resources are available on the internet.
