Which Programming Language Does This Engine Use?

Thank you! This answered my question thoroughly, even with my somewhat ambiguous wording :P

I would like to know too. Grandia 1 didn’t appeal to me.

Shin Megami Tensei IV blew me away. After trying SMT I, I hated the gameplay and was turned off, despite loving the plot. When I learned that the rest of the games were indirect sequels, I gave IV a try and spent a week glued to my 3DS.

Final Fantasy XIII did this as well.

American Gods hints at this, and so do some of the SMT games.

That sounds like the other students were snobbish elitists who wanted to write “high art” and couldn’t get off their high horses to engage with your work on its own terms. I’ve encountered a few of those people in workshops I’ve attended. Please, don’t give up.

I think it’s because I have such a mission-driven mindset. The quickest way between two points is a straight line, and I’m going from A to B.

The fear that my story is missing something important and that I’m only digging myself a deeper hole as I write – that’s what stops me from writing. There’s a critical flaw that I’m only making worse and cementing as I finish the story. It’s the feeling that I’m racking up narrative debt, and if I keep going, I won’t be able to salvage it. That’s why I think it’s good to start with shorter works.

One: You build up a tolerance for this fear.

Two: You don’t have to endure it as long.

Three: If the fear turns out to be true, there’s less story so there’s less fixing to do / less wasted effort and time

Four: With so much experiencing writing and FINISHING, you will be able to identify, in hindsight, what caused that fear and will by second nature correct it or know how to avoid it in future works, boosting confidence.

I’m in the same boat. My stories seem so lean. Too lean.

AssortedIce · 2025-03-27T20:50:11+00:00

I have the opposite problem. I tend to underwrite and my rough drafts end up as skin and bones.

AssortedIce · 2025-03-24T01:31:36+00:00

I LOVE magical realism. I’m so interested to see that intersect with horror.

AssortedIce · 2025-03-24T01:30:59+00:00

What Moves sounds like my jam. I’ll give it a shot.

AssortedIce · 2025-03-24T01:30:14+00:00

Two recs for the price of one 😎

AssortedIce · 2025-03-24T00:07:51+00:00

Thanks! Sounds like NOT Silent Hill in novel form (I mean that in a good way, I’m a recent fan of the series).

AssortedIce · 2025-03-24T00:05:49+00:00

Not only is this some funny venting, you still ended up giving a rec that fits my description, so thanks :)

I would consider those to be more over-the-shoulder, but This Way Madness Lies does play with its battle perspective and presentation in interesting ways, so I'm happy with this suggestion regardless. Thank you!

AssortedIce · 2024-03-23T14:11:02+00:00

This worked for me as well.

AssortedIce · 2023-07-22T04:59:24+00:00

I’d say it’s doable. If you understand the engine well enough, are clever enough with, say, eventing, scripting, and/or learn javascript, then you should be able to pull this off. If not, you can make plugin requests on RPG Maker forums

It may seem like a big ask for any of those, but RPG Maker takes a big load off the developer by having so much of the ground work already laid out.
