Took a break from Ace, to clean some MZ scripts. Sometimes I think about releasing them, but I don't know.

I'm starting to get homesick for MZ/MV now. I've been compulsively checking the scripts I made for them to make sure I don't forget Javascript while relearning Ruby.
So I'm thinking of simplifying and staying truer to the original project. Though I do want to add "some" flair. So we got some scaling effects with movement.
Is it wrong to ever think you have your minds made up on features, only to realize you are doing too much and should probably scale back a bit?
Part of the reason I'm trying so hard to pretty up my one map challenge game, is that given I'm getting old - I'm worried it might be the only game I'll ever make so I at least want to go back and make it look good.
With some of the designs finalized, I can start adding shading stuff.
I hope these rats look a lot more formidable.
My updated Rat Battler turned out...a bit smaller than I was hoping. It's more of a mouse now.
I'm kind of glad getting back into Ruby wasn't as scary as I thought. It kind of has it's own charm in a way?
So I think I'm getting a bit carried away. I'm gonna end up changing way too much of the game if I try to make every script a custom one. Though the visual battlers script is absolutely getting swapped with my own.
Came up with a selection effect for Ace, trying to mimic the one for MV/MZ.
Tile progress is going ok.
People have been suggesting to go back and fix up my old one map challenge game. And I kind of want to go through with it. And part of me wants to take what I've learned in MV/MZ and see how that translates back to Ruby.
I've been having a very hard time lately just focusing on stuff like a story and world, because I'm so distracted with the coding bits I've been learning.
Is it bad I kind of prefer the smaller tile sizes in Ace over MV/MZ?
It turns out there's a limit to the number of plug-ins you can have. Horrifying. But it's given me a reason to re-code things to thin out the testing ground.
I opened up ACE for the first time in years, it feels kind of cozy?
I decided to go back and give MZ a try again, and liked it - but wished we could animate like in MV. Only for them to go ahead and release an update to do just that apparently. What.
I've been working on making a simple sprite frame system. And I'm really happy with the progress.
I am a complete fool. I went through the trouble of making a clone sprite and setting up a system to have the characters flash, when it turns out - I never noticed that the "._mainSprite" was the actual bitmap being used. I'm happy since that makes compatibility easier, but I also want to scream. -
