Ok, as a total noob to game dev, is RPG maker VX bad? Or is it just outdated? Just Curious.
It's not "just outdated", it's
gravely outdated. It's Windows-only, doesn't allow resolutions higher than 640x480 (unless you do some reverse engineering magic that'll both make the engine to glitch like hell and is forbidden by EULA), has a lot of things hardcoded and lacks some good modern features MV have, like video layer playing. Still, with all that said, I would say that moving from Ruby to JavaScript was a mistake, as Ruby allows to do proper OOP and has a much cleaner syntax, unlike JS. Oh well, guess we will soon have Kernel-layer drivers on JS, as that's the way of progress.
