Yeah I agree. I've played around with MV, its fun but he's already pushed beyond the intended limits of the engine and it shows. Its fun to play around with without having to know too much about programming though.
The only part that would matter to the modder would be the sex events triggering. but you dont need to belong to each gang for that part. With book of faces not working well when it comes to non repeatable content we do need something thats better fit.
been a while since i played with the mod I think. I know someone made a mini version of the old game that just contained all the scenes in one room.
I believe the scene viewer mod covers all that, thats why I did not dive into it. As my mod is more about gameplay, not just seeing the scene. But I totally agree with you on the game engine aspect. It is a great limitation and mainly used by those who don't know programming or just want something quick quick. I preferably like Unity, renpy is okay just not a big fan of it. But there are so many game engines out there I love. To me, this engine is not even in the category of low tier, it is far lower. Not complaining, just when you can code, you can do far superior stuff and not dependent on plugins or drag and drop crap. The newer engine to this, MZ I believe, is a cash grab imo. Same old engine with just a spark of flash here and there to fool non-programmers. I really hope MNL 2 is not on MZ, but I believe/assume it will be on this game engine.
Im not bashing the game, the dev has done wonders with this engine; just to me, it reached its max push and is noticeable.
I just talking about game engine in general and hope MNL 2 is on Unity
