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 - PLAYER SHOP

Games like Recettear have popularized videogame mechanics where the player gets to run their own shop. Now, you can easily add a shop to your own project! 

With the Cookie Cutter MZ - Player Shop template, the player can add one unique item onto one of 6 shelves. When the shop is opened, customers will come in to browse. Upon seeing an item, they will collect it from the shelf and take it to the counter, where the player must walk up and haggle a price.

But be careful! If the player waits too long to serve the customer, they'll get impatient and leave. They will also only accept a few offers of haggling before they grow tired and abandon their purchase.

This can all be customized in RPG Maker to suit your desires!
