My Game.rpgproject file corrupted today, I forgot how it happened, maybe it's from a faulty windows shutdown or something.

I tried to recover my corrupted file by replacing corrupted Game.rpgproject with a much older file from my backup drive, and I was able to re-open my project again. To my surprise all the stats, maps, events are still identical as the newest version.

It seems that all the stats, maps, events are stored in .json files in the data folder, not in Game.rpgproject. Since I only replaced the Game.rpgproject with the older version but not the .json files, I didn't lose anything.

I am just wondering if it's safe to keep working on the project with an older version Game.rpgproject? Will project break at one point because Game.rpgproject is the older version but .json files are newer? What does Game.rpgproject do exactly? Do they just read .json files stored under data folder or do they contain data necessary for the game to work too?

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!
