Do you struggle to event complex systems for your RPG Maker MZ games? 

Do you wish that you could just copy and paste a system into your game, and then customize it yourself?

Eventing in RPG Maker MZ can be difficult for a lot of beginners, and sometimes even veteran RMers struggle to visualize solutions to their problems.

But now you can just copy and paste from a template, with Cookie Cutter MZ! Simply open the template project and copy over the relevant files, or you can even use the project as a base to start your own game!

It's as easy as reading the instructions below which will tell you what files you will need to copy into your own game, and then hitting play! 

COOKIE CUTTER MZ - FARMING SYSTEM

Farming systems are a great way to add relaxing gameplay to your project. They can be utilized as a small side feature as a system that evolves over time, or even be used as the most significant aspect of gameplay!

With Cookie Cutter MZ's Farming System, the player must use a Hoe to till specific ground tiles. They must then select which Seeds to plant using a handy user interface in the top left corner, and press CONFIRM while standing on tilled ground to plant them. 

They are also given a Watering Can which can be filled using an event, pictured in this demo as a well, and press CONFIRM while standing over crops to water them for the day. 

After sleeping until the next day, the crops will reach the next stage of growth, until they are finally big enough to harvest.
