Yeah, I was going to complain about the pixelation too, but then I saw the huge rack.
Over in the far left, I mean. With all the bottles on it. It's a nice massive rack.

I've considered this situation before. Trying to create an isometric battle system using the default or pre-made system.
What you can do is simply have four blank characters with no specific identity and place them diagonal manually. Meanwhile, actual character statistics are stored in variables. After the player finishes picking his/her party, you assign the variable values to the four characters in order of top to bottom, matching the player's choice. And, of course, write the continually upgrading character stats to the variables whenever the character leaves the party (or on a regular basis like after battle to avoid growth loss).
If you want to simulate a back row, use Eight characters and toggle Mighty Guard on the four 'Back' characters. You could also subtract a percentage from the character's Attack stat to simulate reduced backrow melee damage (unless he/she is ranged).

The only catch is, if you're using the default menu system, you'll have to remove Order and Row.

what i dont understand is the switch to commercial, do you really think many people nowadays will spend their money on a retro
styled oldschool rpg?

Even though you'll be putting up a paywall barrier, the venues for advertising are naturally larger in the commercial world and many more eyes will be on Necropolis, even if only for a glimpse. Remaining only an RM game, your audience is limited to those who dabble in hobbyist RMing, further limited to those who decide to try your game instead of one of the established staples.
