Q3: Can I make it where the game is is Sepia for everyone, you know - cause it’s a Western.

You can, with a JavaScript trick, but…

A) users would still be able to change the settings manually. In my opinion, it’s not good to mess with that. As a user I wouldn’t like if the game took that option away from me, I always use the dark theme for exemple.

B) Legend has it that using JavaScript will make your game unbublishable (though I’m yet to hear from someone who went through that experience )

How do you make more than one button, like where people have a button where someone can play for free or pay. What is the code for that?

You can do that with the command *link_button, it works the same as the *link command, except it styles the link like a button. It means, you can’t run code or send to a different part of the game, it’s just an external link. Like @malinryden said, you don’t generally dabble with that. It’s not even that useful.
