OMEGAHUNTER'S PROFILE

I would recommend picking up VX Ace Lite. Its an "extended demo" of sorts for VX Ace. I've only used VX Ace so I can't tell you specifically what the differences are between Ace and standard VX, but trying out VX Ace Lite for a bit might give you a better idea of what VX would be like in general. Might help you decide.

EDIT: That awkward moment when I confused this with yanfly's other chain skill script. I'll edit a response in later, unless someone else gets you.

I know that feel. I don't really have any art, music, or scripting skills either. Don't let that bother you though. You can still make an awesome game if you give it your all and refuse to quit until you accomplish whatever you're trying to do. There's plenty of free scripts available that can help you implement lots of extra features into your games as long as you're determined to learn how to use them. Even if you can't code things yourself, learning to use premade scripts effectively is a skill in itself, so I'd say work on that at least.

Wow, those are some pretty nice face sprites for having been made with Ace's built in generator! Most of the faces people make in it look terrible, but yours look alright for the most part.

You should submit a game page once you have enough material to put something up.

Is there any way to make an event run when another event comes into contact with it? For example, if a soldier walks into a monster, a slash animation would play. I'm planning something a bit more complicated than that, but that's the general idea of it. Is there a way to do this or a script for it?
