I feel that while JavaScript is the best option for a new language, I feel that the plugin manager made it much more restrictive. Here's why:

  • Changes are made inside the plugin manager. Everything that the plugin writer puts there are the ones that can be modified.
  • Because of the plugin manager changing the values you want modified, you can't openly add something you want.
  • Plugins such as Achievements, Story Books, In Game changed values for the plugins isn't that widely free to do.
Of course, I am basing this upon what I know.

In my examples, I mentioned Achievements and Story Book plugins as an example. Let's say you want to make a plugin that hoards achievements, yes? Then, the plugin user decides that she wants to add another achievement. She can't, because everything is inside the plugin manager now.

Back in Ace, since we do use the script editor we can freely add variables to our liking very much easier.

My question is,

how would the plugin writers defeat this problem? What are the viable ways to make the plugin user create an extensive and non restrictive plugin to add variables that is changable in our out of the game?

Aside from opening the plugin in an IDE or Text Editor, that is.

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 :)
