And honestly another option is to learn to code and write your own system for your game. No one is forcing you to use the plug-ins at all either.
And honestly if you learn to code, you don´t even need to use rpg maker anymore at all?
Wasn´t one of the core reasons to use rpg maker... to not having to code? x,D
Sorry bgillisp, but sadly I have to disagree there, sure having some code knowledge is nice
and super helpful, to write your own plugins, systems, or edit others to work with yours...
But a huge % of the user base is NONE coders, and NONE artists, let´s not forget that here.
It´s ... again... the main reason people even use rpg maker, community based sharing and learning.
Open scource plugins, resscoures and knowledge, so that they can make there dream game.
As much as it´s possible for them, removing all this will leave rpg maker in the dust in the future.
So guys, can we drop all this nonsense and finally move on?
I already saw quiet a lot of promising plugins and resscoures, and many friendly people,
that are coming back again from the depths. It´s a shame that some lame thiefs triggered all this.
And honestly no code, game or product in the world is ever safe from them.
