There was a tutorial on RM tutorials, I still have even, but it's comlicated and it's a "In game" tut.
You want it? I might be able to find it.

If you couldn't do it on Game Maker, you won't be able to do it on RPG Maker. Lucas is completely right; it's easier on Game Maker, but still pretty hard. That's the burden of game making. You only get what you put in. I would suggest you attempt Game Maker again. Start with a simple engine and build from there. You might need to learn a bit about programming, but that will really help you more in a broader scope. It's just impossible to get away with getting what you want without trying and failing time after time. Welcome to the world of making games my friend. :P

Platform studios is easy to make them..but making custom sprites is kinda hard

Congratulations. Here's a cookie.

Oh, and you do know there are numerous GM platform engine tutorials, ranging from simple to complex, right?

Just because the games suck doesn't mean the engine is bad.

Don't care.

Hey vytong, here's how to make a side scrolling platformer in ten easy steps:

Now I know you'll actually read this post, could you please listen to the people above you??? Even if we had the knowlege off the top of our heads a tutorial of the magnitude you're asking for would be ridiculously long and take hours to write. And even if someone went through all that bother, there's no way you'd be able to follow the instructions, and your resulting game would be poor quality anyway despite years of effort.

Make it in gamemaker or one of the the other more suited makers or don't at all. They're your options.

To reword what lucas said in a nicer way, get more game making experience under you belt before you start coding custom systems. Maybe download Game Maker or Multimedia Fusion and follow some tutorials.

People its not impossible to make a side scroller in rpg maker. Yes, it kind of hard, but its possible. Ive been working on one for quite some time now. Heres the link to the video of my kirby side scrolling platformer.

Clickteam applications are, I believe, easier to use than Game Maker. Hit up Games Factory or something. It's pretty easy to pick up, especially if all you're wanting is a simple platformer game.
