Learning RPG Maker by making a silly game

Hi! I thought it might be fun to share my progress in learning RPG maker and making a silly little game for an RP group that I am in with our characters. I have larger game ideas I’d like to make, but I tend to jump into the deep end and thought this would be a good way to try and learn without burning myself out. Im having a lot of fun so far!

Welcome and please do share your journey! I think people usually don’t comment as much but I think logging your progress is especially important for yourself, so yeah just in case haha. Never take that as an indication of nothing. I’ll probably leave a heart reaction every once in a while, I personally don’t like to spam other’s logs, I feel like a distraction from the main topic, if that makes sense xD.

Best wishes and good game make!

Alright! Updates. I have managed to make a little messaging system which i am very proud of that involves a lot of common events calling each other. I’m especially proud that when you log in the first time, the messages show up one by one as if they’re being delivered, but if you go back later you can scroll! I did it by making each conversation one long image, and then the desktop is a frame that the message image scrolls behind.

I have figured out footsteps and terrain tags, and installed some plugins for lighting and animated B, C, and D tilesets. Now I am struggling to make Akea’s Animated Battle Plugin work. It’s fine until I try and assign actions to weapons and then i keep getting unexpected token u in json at position 0, which means I probably set something up wrong. But I’m having a hard time figuring out what.
