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 - RESOURCE GATHERING SYSTEM

Want a way to let the player interact with their environments? Does your player need to gather resources to craft and build in your game?

Use the Resource Gathering System to spawn trees, logs, rocks and bushes, and customize your own forageable items! The player will need to strike these items a predetermined amount of times in order to break it and collect resources.

You can determine a region in your project where these items will be able to spawn.
