XBUSTER'S PROFILE

Exactly. You'll be able to switch like sonic heroes, but you will be able to select your own characters like sonic advance 3. I might do partner moves as well.

Each character will either share the same health bar or use separate ones. I also plan on adding a basic combo system and super moves that deal intense damage.

Lately, I've been looking at games such as Project X Zone(3DS 2013), Marvel vs Capcom 3(PS3) and a lot of other games and I've been trying to improve Fantasia in as many ways possible. I also plan on adding a HUB world instead of the linear map. That way you can choose the stages you want to play over and over again. If I do this, the stages would have to be better developed for each characters path . Basically, I want to use a lot of Sonic Advance 3 systems while mixing a ton of other elements.

The stages will branch off into several directions that specific characters can reach with their abilities. For Example, Lydia can wall jump, but Bai has the strength to break extremely hard walls. Kiki can hover and fly to reach impossible areas and Sayuri can break elemental barriers.

Thank you for sharing this article. I was beginning to lose hope for some of my projects, but this makes me want to push forward. I've read articles about how to make certain game genres (Specifically Platformers and RPGs). You've basically said it all and this would be a huge inspiration to anyone who is designing a game for the first time or above (regardless of genre).

You probably know of a game called "Fantasia" on here and I am having some development issues. I have too many Ideas, but I'm afraid if I add too many "Features" in the game, I'll lose sight of what my priorities are and it will be a huge, unorganized mess. I have too many resources such as....

• Sprites

• characters

• level ideas

• object types

• music

and I'm not sure what to eliminate or save for other games. Before reading this I thought about cancelling it(Which I really don't want to do after how deep I am into it).

However, reading this really made me more knowledgeable about developing a game.
Whenever I feel down about a project's design and development, I'll remember the time I read this and revive hope for them. Thank you very much kentona:)

Phantasy Star IV was very difficult. The first time I played it was on sega genesis collection. It was the only one that could keep my attention. But, all the PS games are hard. Is the Inindo game the SNES Ninja RPG? I've also played Breath of Fire I and II, I can play III-IV on my Homebrew channel(Wii), but I'll have to wait until summer when I have some time(this is my Senior year in HS).

Shining Force II was hard as well. Thanks for the suggestions, if there are any more you know of, let me know. By the way, have you ever fought the Ruby and Emerald Weapons on FFVII? I plan on making the Lufia VI boss battles very intense, but they won't have a ton of HP and won't be nearly as hard either.

I do have a yahoo and a gmail. I'm working on getting a skype account, but I will definitely let you know when I get one.

my gmail is the one I use the most and it is

Good to see you back Gourd:)I was going to add the shield on her, but I had to make one first. I am aiming for at least 36 characters. I know it sounds like a lot, but I want to have a huge variety of them. There will be another blonde character soon because I drew one. I may also hold another character creation so that more people can submit some.
