Hi! So I'm very new to RPGMaker and kicking around ideas for a game jam, but I ... have a bad habit of getting overambitious.
My thought for the "main" game mechanic was a protagonist who transforms into a 'random' enemy - a bit like Gau's Rage skill from FF6, but under the player's control. (So you can choose to 'transform' during a battle, but you will get transformed into one random enemy until you choose to switch back.)
My question is, can I just use The Werewolf Transformation Tutorial that literally everyone uses for this kind of thing and have the conditional branch pick between states at random, or is this going to be something that requires, like, scripting and tearing-one's-hair-out?
This jam lasts for three months, so I have SOME time to implement everything, but I'm trying to figure out whether this is even a good idea before I make it a core mechanic.

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.
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.
