>>42147755>being this pedanticYes, middle school-kun. They're not literally the same engine. Unless you're some kind of idiot savant it should be easy for you to switch from using Essentials to PSDK. If you don't mind a chunkier framerate then stick with using Essentials as they're both a cakewalk compared to ROMhacking. If you ever decide to switch to PSDK at least you can reuse the maps, events, and most content that was made specifically in RMXP.
>implying the UI aren't literally the sameThey both use RMXP for map and event editing. You can swap out the vanilla assets if that's what you meant by UI. They have different scripting languages but the external editors cut out the middleman. And you really shouldn't be doing anything more than the bare minimum amount of coding in your first game.
