For Dream Magic Heroes (again, made in RPG Maker, unfortunately), I had to edit several functions to make the Sanity system, because apparently negative numbers are a foreign concept or something and break TP/Sanity gauges, as well as ability usage. This was a non-issue with Godot/Ren'Py.

For Ascentower 2 (made in RPG Maker), I had to write an entire plugin to randomise foes' hues. In Magical Girls Go Jail (made in the superior engine, Ren'Py), I could randomise not only hue, but also saturation, with a single line of code, as well as size and breathing rate with a couple more lines.

Friendship ended with RPG Maker
Now Ren'Py is my best friend

Friendship ended with RPG Maker Now Ren'Py is my best friend

I'm starting to think that Ren'Py, the free engine for making visual novels, might actually be better at making RPGs than RPG Maker, the paid engine supposedly designed for that very purpose.

Couple of character designs originally planned for stage 3 of my mggj12 submission, which I unfortunately ran out of time to finish. Perhaps in a post-jam update maybe? For now though, the first two stages are playable here I guess: apho.itch.io/snaky-shooting

SNAKY Shooting by Apho Bullet hell shooting game

Welp, submitted my game to #MGGJ12. Not quite as complete as I'd have liked, with only the first two stages playable for now, but it's something I guess.
