Thanks for the words of appreciation regarding how much of a chore RPG Maker is. I really dropped the ball in conveying what is happening and the effects everything has. I looked for how to disable the menu and could only ever find scripts for alternative menus. And I knew every minute trying to find a way to disable/alter the menu was a minute not spent on building and testing the core systems. My biggest regret so far isn't even starting more than 24 hours after it started, it was the lack of external playtesters. 

Let my blunders be a lesson to everyone how important it is to not be your own sole playtester.

Not sure if I'll continue doing this in RPGM or redo it all in Godot.

I know, my friend. It's not easy to find beta testers and get feedback. Fortunately, I'm in a great community where we support each other, and creating in RPG Maker becomes more exciting. Don't give up; RPG Maker is a nice game engine. Anyway, to disable the menu, go to the third page of the event command and turn off the 'Change Menu Access' command.

i am so mad I didn't see that while looking for that sort of option. At the very least I could have had some way of displaying a gold count on screen. I guess I have a lot to learn about RPG maker despite it being in my steam library for several years.

You can call up the gold window without needing to enter the menu. In the message box, you need to write the command: 

\$

This will open the gold window when the message appears.


With rpg maker you can create a management game with custom GUI and HUD. My game for the jam is made with rpg maker MZ but it is possible to do the same thing with the Mv version. ;)

For what it's worth, I was so mentally drained from simply making all the systems work together and trying to make sure I was submitting it properly. I wasn't worried about the UI at the time.
