MARREND'S PROFILE

I think the answer to this question ultimately depends on what kind of game you want to make. Zelda Classic is likely to be more attuned to developing action-adventure games, whereas RPG Maker is more attuned to making surprise! RPGs.

Though, since you mention "Tsukuru", the official English translations of 2K and 2K3 have a fairly reasonable price point on Steam. Though, depending on what you want the game to be, you might want to consider a more recent RPG Maker engine, such as Ace, MV, or MZ.

Just small update, was anyone able to find BlueMarble? I'm gonna add it to the recent request list.

So, I did a bit of a Google search on this. Keywords used were "blue marble rpgmaker". A result lead me here, and that page suggested that there was a gamepage for it here. Naturally, that link comes up with anti-climbing paint, so, I tried giving the contents trick a try. While it works, there are no downloads listed for the game. It's possible that a download may have existed on the server, but was flagged for deletion?

Next up was the wayback machine. I got a hit dated November 2013, and the game's description included an external link, which is, of course, now dead. I will note that a later hit from the wayback machine, dated January of 2019, the link in the description is missing, so, the file could have been removed from that service either automatically (as these sites sometimes do), or by the dev, themselves.

Attempting to use the wayback machine on the external link only returned references to the URL after 2019, so, no dice there. While I might be able to get a hit on the wayback machine for the game's downloads page, getting the download URL, itself, is a fail-state.

*Edit: As for getting a better search engine, I dunno. I definitely got a non-zero number of results for blue marble dice. Though, with a game title like "Blue Marble", I wouldn't expect anything else. Though, I kinda wonder what might happen one day if some poor soul is trying to find a game literally called Project1, and RMN had long since passed.

I don't doubt I've used resources from the internet, particularly when it comes to music. I do my best to state, either in the file name, or in the packed-in credits, where it's from. At least, I think I do. Nothing pisses me off more than hearing a cool tune, and there being absolutely no documentation, about where it's from. If the file was renamed to suit whatever situation it played in the game, and metadata (if any) was wiped, then that makes it even harder to track down.

This was the case of the "Holy Plains" conundrum. The "documentation", if you even want to call it that, was just a list of sites, with no specifics about what thing came from where. If there was metadata, it was wiped. Thankfully, I was helped by OldPat. I got lucky that time. The next time? Who knows?

*Edit: On a more positive note, I suppose this project pushing back Izrand doesn't bother me to much. In the end, you should do what you feel is right, and where your inspiration is bludgeoning pointing you towards.

I can't say for sure how possible it is for the code to be worked into such a way that states stack their effects X times. Like, in the back of my head, I'm pretty sure that states exist as an array of objects. I don't know off the top of my head where in the code the states are applied, but, the thought in the back of my head is that, under regular circumstances, states with the same ID are not allowed to be included into that array.

I suppose one reason for that is so that when a something (skill, code, event-command, whatever) attempts to remove a state, it only needs to check the contents of the array for the first/only instance of the state, pops it off the array, then continues processing. If multiple instances of a state is allowed, the entire contents of the array would have to be searched for removal before continuing. Not that doing so would likely make any observable changes that would effect the end-user, but, it also feels... inefficient? I dunno.
