Great work as always folks. Saw this pop up in my feed and immediately rolled outta bed to add it to my library.

Thanks for making stuff like this, and thanks for making it MV compatible too. I know it's pretty close to MZ anyway, but I think that MV is getting less and less popular to release for ( I haven't seen the code, but I imagine MZ is probably cleaner to work in since MV's devs probably learned a lesson or two?), so it's nice I can still slap plugins onto it until the wheels fall off. Someday it'll be defunct, but today is not that day XD

Keep doing your stuff y'all!

Thanks for picking up the plugin! Let us know if there are any features you would like to see or if any bugs/compatibility issues pop up.

With regard to MV support, it's actually quite the opposite! MZ is an absolute pain in the arse to work with while MV is very easy to slap things together. MZ's code is a lot cleaner and better optimized but they make even simple things like resizing a window a nightmare because of the added considerations for rect formatting and multiple resolutions. The MZ Sprite classes in particular cause a lot of trouble when we port the plugins over because they are considerably different from how MV does things. MZ's method of registering plugin commands is so annoying that some devs just hack in a way for you to use them via the MV legacy method so as to not deal with the hassle (MZ3D does this iirc).

It's not all bad though just a bunch of hoops you have to get used to jumping through :)

I appreciate the insight! I'm not familiar at all with programming in either engine (though I'm hoping to pick it up sometime soon) but I find it quite interesting to hear about what the experience is like between them, so thank you for sharing some of the experience ^^

I'm not just biased because it's good to hear my chosen horse is not straight up "better-than"ed by MZ, at least on the programming front XD
