Bullet hell with an RPG engine – Mission Impossible?

I saw a Bullet Hell script in the style of Touhou years ago for RPG Maker VX by tomoaky. You were able to use equipment to determine your shottype and many other customizations.
It gave me an idea to create a Game where you can run around in a sort of hub area and solve puzzles to get items, extra lives for the Stage sections and so on.
There aren't many narratively heavy shmups out there, so that idea could be golden.

Unfortunately tomoakys site is down and the download for the script is lost, but I do still have the folder for the demo with all the essentials.

Multi-part songs - jumping to the next loop

No problem! Hopefully you can also get past some of the annoyances like not being able to increase the variables through the menus, the game being unfocused but music still plays(I didn't even mention that one, I think...), etc.

Why I want this to stay a Hobby is because I think I'm a waaay too manipulative Person to be working for a Game Company or even materialized matters like Money. Obviously it's not true and Money won't always change somebody (at least not that drastically) however I do like to stay cautious, since making Money from doing Creative Stuff is not always going to work out.(Luck)
Of course it's a Lie that we're not interested in the Money or Fame or whatever the hell you get out of that. Me personally, I want these things... I want them to happen, because these are just the sins inside my Mind reminding me that it's just one of the more important things that really keeps you going. If you worked for only yourself (unless you are a strong emotional, a bit more selfish Person) then I think you really don't work for all the Things you want to work for, because you neglect them. I put them aside and dealt with them already and only ever mention them when my situation is really shitty... and 'lo and behold, because I kept denying the Fact that Money won't change anything, I got punished for it and got really stupidly emotional about it on a Blog for my Game, saying that I gave up.
People want honesty, proof of concept and the ability to be strong. At least that's the kinda Vibe I'm getting from this Place.
But I got actual reasons to be mad at myself, because I just stuck around with an Archaic Engine... but I chose not to be angry at myself, because that wouldn't fix anything.
And yes, this is me adverticing my Game and me trying to be clever and say something meaningful, which in the end, I'm not even sure about if it makes any sense in the context or whatever, but I did see a rather aggrovating response to "We don't do this for Money". People nowadays just try and find any sort of excuse to make them look smart or bitch about something.

In the end, it would be way easier to tell yourself that you are doing it for yourself and maybe a bit extra. It's also NOT a sin to not mention or deny that you don't want the Money! Everyone should know themselves, especially Artists.

I generally don't try (Even if I make a Novel out of every Blog I post, it's just a fun factor), but I do secretly hope somebody actually takes a quick look at my Games once in a while. Since I don't really care for buzz or making Money of off my Hobby, I just do whatever I care to do. (Also getting help from an Engine that has died 7 or so years ago also hurts me, because I wanna have cool things, but I'm no scripter so I'm generally screwed out of cool things.) I do still try though.
