Suddenly...I feel like switching over to VX now.
Awesome stuff Maia! It's like good ol classic RPG goodness. :D
EDIT: Not again! This is the third time in a row being at the top and having nothing to show! Well let me rephrase THAT! I do have stuff, but don't feel like it thus far, don't wanna show too much. ;D

OMFG!!! S4D IS A FAKE! THERE IS NO SUCH MONOPOLO FOR RM4K3!!! ;D
I think one of my old problems and habits was showing way too much of what I was working on, that I would show anything. But I have to learn to just control what I put out and only once and awhile post something. Besides, it keeps a bit of mystery and suspense when the project is released. Also...most of the time it's the same comments anyways:
* OMG!!! THAT IS SO MONOPOLO! CAN'T WAIT MAN!!!
* IS THIS GAME ONLINE OR SOMETHING?
* I DIDN'T KNOW RM COULD DO THAT?
* YOUR A FAKE!
* NO! YOUR A FAKE!
:)

Testing out the Peep skill. It'll probably be used by exactly one player once, especially since it's a command rather than a spell. Oh well. It could help in boss battles though, it gives you some hints about what the boss does or how to defeat it easier. Or it would when I get up to that point, still working on monster group template things.
You can call the characters whatever you want, and you can go to Namingway in any of the towns to change it if you'd like.
Know what would be more useful than a Peep skill? Some sort of lore/knowledge/awareness ability.
Peep is so expensive to use (1 turn per monster!!) and is rarely worthwhile. The awareness ability would kick in before the battle and do a "Peep" on all the enemies before it starts - without wasting a turn!
That's how I'd do it.

@Maia- That is a huge lot of screens but are one of the best i've seen for VX. Keep up the good work. :)
@Ocean- lol, i love the use of Haruhi Suzumiya names in that battle.

Maia: Holy crap. That's some great RPG maker VX mapping you have there! Makes me just want to start up VX so I can see if I can get similar results (which I know I wont :X). Haa. Anyway, your maps are beautiful and detailed as always, Maia. You always seem to make the best use of the RTP! I like what you've done with VX's the most of the lot so far!
Ocean: Ohh, nice. A peep skill. A game such as yours is never complete without one! I'd say that I'd more than likely use it only on boss battles, though, as enemies don't usually warrent the waste of a turn just for something like that. Well, unless they are a super hard enemy or something, and then you might want some help. But it's still a great thing to have in there.
And also, I can't wait untill the game is done. That, and Hero's Realm. Two great games...and yet none are close to completion! Oh well. Patience is a virtue. It's something I lack, however. =O

That's going to get messy/take up a mess of windows when you scan an enemy with a mess of resistances. I'd suggest using icons and abbreviations. Something like
Strengths: <FireIcon>Ab <IceIcon>Im <WaterIcon>Re
Ab = Absords, Im = Immune, Re = Resists
Only potential problem would be ambiguous icons (I've never seen a good icon represent elements like Earth, Light, or Dark)
If the icons were also used in skill names...!
This would make armors fit more into the description box, as well.

Don't use abbreviations. I usually find them annoying and half of the time, I don't know what they mean. However, icons is a good idea.
I find icons pretty hard, I can't remember stuff like that that's why I usually prefer text :x
And icons are more add-on to work :domo:

The world of RM needs:
MORE MONOPOLY MADNESS!!!

"W...what happened to my flag?
Finally...one of the longest, most annoying, code scum sucking, waste of time things are complete. The mortgage thing is now complete! so when you need a buck or two, mortgage some of your deeds and cash in! By doing so, your card is flipped over and your flag will be hung up.
Now...in the New rules you will be ABLE to BUY a mortgaged property off someone if you land on it, (or use the cellphone item if you have one) as new strategy plays in. Also...back in the older games, if you unmortgage a property, your suppose to pay a interest to buy it back, you won't in this game. As it's not in this game (Ie: too lazy to put in)
So yes, this part is done, I'm feeling pretty good now. (Although my headphones broke the other day, and I can only hear like 50% of everything now, youtube movies won't even work)
EDIT: My assistant manger APPROVES of this game. He saw the movie on his cellphone at work the other day. :woop: (raise?)

author=GreatRedSpirit link=topic=1503.msg28493#msg28493 date=1219866084I make sure not to take up more than one line for resistances. If they resist every element, I just put: Resists all elements or something. Otherwise, I may do a Fire/Ice/Lit (50%) or something to save space. In any case, they're all common events so I can alter them anytime later without affecting the monstergroups themselves.

I don't like abbreviations though, unless it's really simple stuff like STR, DP, INT and things like that. Icons maybe. Earth does not have an element (Technically it does but it's so rarely used, I don't think the party even has an earth elemental spell), Dark is used by attack skills but is otherwise rare (And I'd say only 2 or so monsters should even resist it), Light is used by 2 spells (I'm not sure if anything even resists Light), Water is used by 1 spell, and with one exception, Water and Ice act the same. So pretty much it's just Fire/Ice/Lit that need it.
Since there is a 100% escape rate, if you had the Initative ability or NPC, you can have people with the Peep command, flee, then change it to something you'll use before the enemies even act. That isn't necessary for most battles, but is something that could be done even in some boss battles.
