So, I just now found out Ace can play video files...

I myself don't have Ace and don't plan to get it for a while, but if this is true, why aren't there many (at least, as far as I know) interactive-movie games?

I've had the idea of doing similar in the past, although VX (not ace) at most only has pictures, so it had to be picture-by-picture/frame-by-frame animations that take forever to put in. Letting it play videos just make it a lot easier for something like this, so you'd think there would be a spike in that type of game being made, but no...

Well, if nobody does anything of it by the time I'm done with the game I'm working on, I'll probably make my old mentioned "Mario 64 Machinima" movie on VX and have it as an interactive one with choices and stuff, heeehhh.

Are there any downloadable examples just so I can see for myself...?

Not to say I don't believe you, but my curiosity is still running with this.

I doubt it.  Ace only supports .ogv movie files which are the win95 of the video world.

It's not just video quality, it's also file size which balloons.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

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.
