I've made up my mind. Here's the new game plan.
I've been pondering... and pondering.
During my time playing The Sims 4, that includes The Sims 4 Legacy Edition installed on my Acer Aspire laptop, I've been thinking. And here's what I decided to go with.
For now, I'll continue to develop the game using RPG Maker XP. However, if I don't get much done, or I hit a roadblock, by January 2021, I'm converting the project to RPG Maker MV, despite my laptop's performance to even run the MV games properly.
But anyway...
I think I might need a template for the Battlesystem, ACBS, in terms of Battler graphics, as I have no idea how I'm supposed to make one. Throughout the time I've put this in, to replace the old Takentai battle system, I couldn't put heads or tails on what's supposed to go where.
