2D RPG Kit

I have been playing around with RPG Maker Unite for the last few days and it is stupid buggy. I'm thinking about giving this a try, and doing a comparison. The one question I have is about how objects and characters are handled. In Unite, the characters are built at runtime and are on a UI layer, meaning I cannot change the material and have lights affect the player characters, and even though you can make it work in URP, not having the lighting affect a player is a no go. 

How do the layers work in this asset? Can URP lighting be used on it?

I haven't looked at the demo just yet but I'm trying to transition away from RPG Maker and towards Unity and think this is a nice bridge to do that. I have a couple questions though. (1) As I learn more C#, will I have the ability to make larger adjustments to the game or will I be limited in the same way RPG Maker tends to limit what you can do? I want to be able to expand on this as I learn more and adjust the battle system to accommodate a concept of mine. (2) Will it be difficult to add or replace assets in this? I bought a decent amount of art assets (tilemaps, sprites, animations, etc.) through some bundles and while some say it's compatible with Unity, I'm not sure how it would interact with this template.

Hey, just tested the demo, I compiled a list of bugs I think are related to the engine, not the demo. I ignored game-related bugs like typos or enemy misplacement (e.g. the boss sprite is too low on screen) as these wouldn’t be relevant when making a new game. For some, it’s hard to tell if it’s a game-specific setup issue of a framework issue.

EDIT: just after writing this, I realized I was playing the Linux demo which stops at 2.1, so bugs may have been fixed in 3.0 since. I will try again the Windows version, but I don’t want to go through the whole quest again; is there a debug/god mode where I can just warp to the place I want to test? Basically just need a battle with status/buff skills to test all the new features.

Exploration

• cannot talk to people from the side
• can talk to Hollis one last time after he joins, causing “ghost talk” while screen fades as he joins the party (game-specific?)
• random battle started while I was pushing log, as I was pressing Left but without moving as move was frozen, but random steps still incremented? Or just a coincidence, was I 1 step away from the next battle?
• After pushing second log to rescue Mozzer, before cinematic starts, by holding a direction I could move by a few pixels.
• directional input not handled if keep holding during transition from an area to another
• could not enter first village on world map moving straight into it, had to move slightly down, just bad trigger?

Menu

• last selection not restored after buy item
• after item bag becomes full, the bottom-left item is stuck is a dark shade (like the selected / highlight color, but without blue outline)
• can open party menu during title menu

Battle

• cursor flashes an instant after action during battle, before enemy turn. Generally speaking, the menu flashes before becoming inactive again after an action before enemy turn.
• can select next fighter action (if ally) immediately after retreat failed, while text still appears

Meta

• gold not restored on load after game over, keep value before game over. Easy to exploit (sell all items, die, reload…)
• if bag is full you can miss key item at end of battle, no change no drop a less important item (in the demo, fortunately the final event is based on whether you defeated the boss or not, you don’t need to mushroom in your inventory to trigger it; but in other games you may get stuck due to lack of key item)

Thanks! This asset is the best for making 2d rpg game in Unity with basic knowledge of programming in this engine.  (Sorry for my English, it isn't my native language)
