Hey man, thanks for he praise! Glad you're enjoying the game!
Yeah, RPGMaker has a lot of strengths and has been very kind to a novice game dev like me. But it has it's fair share of technical limitations. Scripting and coding are where I'm weakest, but I think I'm pushing the engine towards it's limits with some of those assets and it causes the game to chug and even freeze or crash at times.
