RPG Maker Forums
I've been tasked with making an educational RPG. I need to have a quiz in the battles. I put event pages in troops to show messages, and choices at the start of each turn. This is great 
Next, I need to load quiz data, which is JSON, from a server, as well as sound and picture files. Reading through forum posts, and MV's source code, it seems that resources are loaded with XMLHttpRequest. It seems like it would be enough to get the JSON response, and split the key/values into MV's variables, i.e. var 1 = question; 2 = sound file; 3 = picture; 4 = answer; 5 = distractor, etc. Buffer the question, so vars 6 ~ 10 are the next question. And after the user makes a choice send their response to the server, shifts vars 6 ~ 10 to vars 1 ~ 5, and load another question, etc.
Ideally, the sound and picture files will be exported from the server to MV, and via Python inserted directly into MV's JSON files. My questions are, "Does this make any sense?" and "Are there any issues to be aware of with loading MV with remote resources?"
Also, "What other resources/tutorials do you suggest to help creating plugins?"
So far, I've found:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Oa0cRGpjC8L5JO8vdMwOaYMKO75dtfKDOetnvh7OHs/edit#gid=0
and plugins such as:
https://github.com/triacontane/PluginDevelopment/tree/master/js/plugins
to be good guides.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
