Script Call

#    1. $game_variables.var_pointers[var_id] = [pointer_val, chain_flag]       |#       - Sets the variable with id var_id to point to the variable with id    |#         pointer_val if pointer_val is an integer greater than 0              |#       - Sets the variable with id var_id to stop pointing to any variable if |#         pointer_val isn't an integer or is less than or equal to 0           |#       - When a variable isn't pointing to any variable and the former's      |#         being read/written, only it'll be actually read/written              |#       - When variable A points to variable B with A's chain_flag as false or |#         B not pointing to any variable, and A's being read/written, only B   |#         will actually be read/written instead                                |#       - When variable A points to variable B with A's chain_flag as true and |#         B pointing to variable C with B's chain flag as false or C not       |#         pointing to any variable, and A's being read/written, only C will    |#         actually be read/written instead                                     |#       - When variable A points to variable B with A's chain_flag as true and |#         B pointing to variable A with B's chain flag as true, both A and B   |#         effectively points to their respective selfs instead                 |#       - When a variable points to itself, it effectively doesn't point to any|#         variable                                                             |#    2. $game_variables.var_pointers[var_id][0] =                              |#       $game_variables.var_pointers[var_id][0].to_s                           |#       - Deactivates the pointer behavior for variable with id var_id while   |#         still keeping its pointer record with its chain flag                 |#    3. $game_variables.var_pointers[var_id][0] =                              |#       $game_variables.var_pointers[var_id][0].to_i                           |#       - Activates the pointer behavior for variable with id var_id using its |#         pointer record with its chain flag                                   |

He mad, but he cute :kaopride:

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
