So, I would like to see a script that tells you you've played UNDERTALE or HuniePop or FNaF or anything like that.


EX. "Ah, Hello, Slashmaster. \! So, You Like Undertale? \! And HuniePop? Suprising."


Sooooooooooo....... Is it possible? If so, please post it in the comments, Thank You. (~_^)

Although I am no expert on programming, I do not believe it would be possible to do such a thing. For the game to tell you that, it would need to be able to access things like the players steam account (if they had one) or keep a track of online purchases. That could be seen as a breach of privacy (even if you are not using or gathering data) and also, the game would need to ask for things like passwords. In the end, the script, even if it worked, would be large and complicated to implement, and also would ask players for private questions.

I see Metal Gear Solid reference. :D


MGS only read the data from your memory card, and whatever was on it, Psycho Mantis told you. 


The same could be done with installed games on your PC, but not with simple scripts, that's for sure. 


To make this happen, it is required to read the data of the installed programs on your PC. I personally have no idea how could that be done, but it is most certainly possible to do for someone who knows.

RMMV
Actually, RGSS does have access to the Windows API, so you could check for registry keys for installed programs, game configurations, and so on (I had a game that grabbed the name of the user currently logged into the machine then output the name through text to speech software). Even without dipping into Windows API a script could peruse through directories, searching typical installation or configuration paths to glean information. Certainly possible to do without querying Steam for information.

YUS, YOU KNOW WHAT I WANTED. EXACTLY PSYCHO MANTIS.  It Could Be From Steam API, I Believe.

I Should've Mentioned. This Is Going To Be A Free Steam Game.

Don't forget, aspiring writers: Personality isn't what your characters do, it is WHY they do it.
Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
