I think it was mistake to start building a second battle system. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed. Maybe I need a break from this.

This was a test for a more "front view" style battle scene I got from mucking around with learning note tags. Still shame about the Z stuff though.
Been spending alot of time trying to get certain animations to play over others by setting their Z coordinate. Finally checked the help file, and they don't seem to have a Z. Should have checked first.
I think I get the hang of using Notes for MV. Gonna tell myself I'm done with MV for today. I need to work on non-rpg stuff!
Currently trying to understand Meta's.
I probably could have gotten my second game done by now if I stopped caring about the "visual" stuff. People told me not to get married to ideas, but it's hard to let hard work go.
Been doing some more tweaking into my "index system" where the game changes sprites instead of a sprite sheet. I had to shut off hit sprites due to a graphics bug I should probably ask for help with.
Had a dream that someone perfectly recreated Super Metroid in RPG Maker. Except it still had the default rpg maker status screen as a pause window.
At first I was skeptical about typing likeThis instead of like_this but now I kind of like it better?
The more I play around with MV, the more I miss Ace and all the stuff I could do with it. Maybe buying a new maker wasn't a good idea.
Welp. I'm downloading MV off of Steam. So with my luck that means the even newer rpg maker should be coming out now.
So, 8 more days left in MV trial. So far my biggest draw is the damage pop up, enemy selecting - and having scripts outside of the game.
Spending some more time with MV trial, I managed to recreate a sprite jiggling script I made for Ace. https://i.imgur.com/PP4bPVN.gif
Tried out the trial for MV. It looks really nice but java looks confusing and I don't think I'd be able to convert my visual battler scripts
Important rule of the day: Keep it simple!
Making tiles is strangely relaxing. But boy does it eat up time fast.
Part of me wants to just plop my personal scripts online so I can get help with them. But then people might take it. So I don't know.
Been thinking about scrapping this diagonal movement script I made. Turns out area's feel bigger when you can only move 4 directions.
Making small compromises with what I need and don't need is a step in the right direction I guess?
The thing holding me back the most - is that I want to go nuts and have fun with my games plot but at the same time want to play it safe. -

Last year, I planted a bunch of spinach, and one plant wasn't doing well, so I transferred it to a separate pot. All its kin died while it hibernated over winter. Now it thrives. I've named it Prince Spinach.
I guess the concept of friendship has changed :") Today I saw a very quiet boy getting bullied by his 'friends' because he wasn't talking. They made a circle and made him sit in the middle and were nagging him saying hey talk, sing a song, do this tongue twister etc. etc. And I could totally see the discomfort in the boy's face. Glad I don't have 'friends' lmao
