I've moved this thread to Learning Javascript. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


Not sure it is the best place for it, but I think it's best suited here as I believe this will take some level of scripting to do.

I know it's possible to do. I had to implement this very thing in a horror game I was working on with my brother. There is a script for it in Vx Ace and a plugin or how to in MV. I found this forum here: A Script that Can Insert your Windows Username

I think that is the one we followed to do it, if I remember correctly.

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!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
