I have been using RPG Maker for like 23 years now. You'd think after all that time I'd know the ins-and-outs of its eccentricities. Yet somehow I keep finding — or remembering — new and curious things as to how it handles some stuff.

For the most part these are things I simply never ran into because I've designed/coded around them, or I've compensated for these quirks without realising it. But recently I tried doing some things only to find them behaving in ways I didn't expect, which then lead to a rabbit hole of realisations. So I thought I'd share some of that.

The last time I wrote about My RPG!! — when the original beta demo came out — was back in 2019. A lot has happened since then, over the course of these few years. This admittedly hasn't really helped with the game development side of things, largely due to said things all being real life bullshit. But I still wanted to try and get something written to update you all. Let's see how this goes.
