Alright good thanks, was worried I'd spend $70 on HS2 just to learn whether or not I'll need to use something else, heh.
And I actually got the same motivation as you- I got a sudden intrigue in this style of game and wanted to learn what goes into them, and (up until now at least) had never seen one with a female protagonist, so I got motivated to try my hand down learning so I could fill the gap in the genre. Come to find somebody beat me to the punch :) but it'll at least give me more motivation to live up to what you've set!
No worries! Make sure you get a version with studio neo in it, that's what will allow you to do custom scenes.
Believe me, there's still plenty of room in this gap in the genre! The more the merrier :D I've had a lot of fun making YU, if it's something that interests you I definitely recommend giving it a try!
Best of luck with it ^^
