V1.92 End Of Reason Main game Updates July (Patreon)

Hi guys, 

I hope you are all well. To summarize this update, the game is being converted to RPG Maker MZ. 

Why do this now?

The main reason for this was a crash that corrupted the data I was working on, combined with me feeling poorly. Understandable I was annoyed, which lead me to revisit RPG Maker MZ. 

I concluded that I had enough plugins and compatibility to convert End Of Reason 98-99%%. Only the translations are missing, and some code and skill/stat rebalance. 

As V1.92 will be a big update, it makes sense to update to MZ before people have saved data incompatible with this newer version rather than waiting until after the V1.92 release. 

The game runs as is, but the translations are broken. I'm working on a solution that I'll try once everything is converted. 

Overall, this will bring stability and performance to a good standard, stopping the crashes and opening new features for me to add like: animated characters that previously was not possible due to the older engine version that I used in order to have compatibility between plugins, adding files missed to a plugin file in the exporting process, a bane of previous releases where a plugin/outside software would require a certain file and the exporter would ignore it. 

Update notes below:
