@Darken: Yes this is in fact the general consensus I have been getting. But the question then is, what would make it fun? What exactly would it take to make it more fun for you? There is only so much I can do in the way of AI...

Make the hero go backwards when he's hit. This will make it look less weird. Make the hero's swinging range greater than the monster's or less depending if the monster is some crazy dude with a big sword long sword who can only be hit from behind. Play some classic action games and notice how the games prevent themselves from being mindless button mashing.

-The monster could have a charge attack that you must dodge. After the monster has charged, he will have a small after-delay allowing you to attack it.

-The monster could be shooting projectiles at you in which you must use a shield or dodge to prevent it from hitting you. Using a dodge or shield however will slow you down as you try to get in range of the enemy. The monster in question could also have a movement pattern in the way he shoots.

-The monster could shoot a poison gas or some kind of Area of Effect that the player must dodge and has to wait a moment before he can pass it to attack and prevent the monster's next AoE.

There are a lot of other ideas that come to mind. But I doubt that'd be possible in RPG Maker. If you can pull stuff like this in RPG Maker, you'll shake the RPG Maker scene as we know it. But if not, you're better off with GM or AGM.

Anything's possible in RM.

Not without scripting, it's not. I would personally never attempt an ABS in RM without scripting a pixel-based movement/hit detection system. IMHO, RM's default tile-based movement just doesn't cut it.

@Darken: I actually put your ideas on a sticky note next to my comp so I would remember them ^_^

I've been at it like a mad scientist, I cant stop trying to make it better... In an attempt to make enemies less predictable I am giving them their own special moves.

-Trying out a new character gfx I found
-You can now walk and attack at the same time
-If you get hit from the slime in a certain position, your character will autoface him so you dont have to walk away to get him
-Added blood when hero gets hit.
-Slime goes underground, you cant harm him until he reeapears.
-If he gets you on the way up, its a 5hp penalty (vs the 1 if he hits you normally), so its important to use the terrain to block him from getting to you.

MORE TO COME!

That looks great, Anaryu. How well does 3D run in Game Maker?

Nothing amazing this time, just a new hud.



Also I just hired an artist so soon all the ugly grafix will be replaced ^^.

An old project that I may or may not decide to go back to.


- At the gates.


- In the forest.

That is all.
