I'm trying to better understand the process for displaying text messages- so, I'm wondering if somebody more knowledgeable would be kind enough to explain what happens from the time text gets added to the $gameMessage._text array to when it is broken down to a single letter as part of the textState object that gets passed to the Window_Message.contents Bitmap drawText() function.
My questions specifically are:
My questions specifically are:
- Where / how are the values textState.height, textState.x, textState.y, textState.index defined?
- Would it be possible to intercept the $gameMessage._text array (after it goes through the convertEscapeCharacter(), processEscapeCharacter(), processCharacter() functions) and pass the whole string (not just individual letters) to an external function that outputs a Bitmap that can be placed in the Window_Message.contents instead of going through the Bitmap drawText() / blt() method? Where / at what point would be the best place to do this?

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!
