I bought that RPG Maker VX Ace because I occasionally get it in my head that I want to make an RPG and think it would be good to have that on hand if I decide to go down That Path.

But then I also think maybe the most attractive thing to me about making an RPG is making a unique battle system from scratch so maybe Iā€™ll never touch it. I also probably shouldnā€™t do that.

javascript does not have much in it that encourages you to write it well. the core of the language was written by one guy in 2 weeks about 30 years ago and a lot has been haphazardly grafted on since then

iā€™ve seen a handful of well-written javascript codebases but theyā€™ve been exceptions
