WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

Been working on another character portrait.



I haven't finished his upper body yet and some of the colors need to be adjusted, but it's almost done for the most part!

Currently trying to gather motivation to work on my game (no, I haven't given up despite people thinking I should or better off doing so!). While waiting on mapper to get done with maps, added some new monsters from the FF series (more of the more well-known ones in fact, such as the Malboros, Tonberry, and Ahriman) so that they're there, and added in all of the bosses that will be in beta5. 18 dungeons and 76 bosses is...quite a lot. But most of the fights are back-to-back so it works out I think.


Couple things I haven't decided on is whether or not I want to make Bravery/Faith affect one or the other. As in, Bravery will double the power of physical skills while halving the power of magic skills, and vice-versa. This would require me to manually put in each character's skills twice, one for double power and one for magic power, and for each level, and then assigning the appropriate skills when said statuses are applied to characters. I've been told it's not worth doing, but I'm not sure yet.


Also, still not sure what enemies to use in my upcoming section, which is based on FFVI's Narshe Raid event. Yes, my game borrows a lot from the FF series, but it's supposed to! >_<

Well if you really want that feature in your game you should go for it =).

So after showing you guys the selectable menu common event I was working on I fixed it up a little bit (still want to add autoscroll to it) and put the thing to action. I've put some old screenshots as panorama's (can be changed in game with the shift button so I could see how the menu worked with diffrent background colours/maps).

Big thanks to Cherry and all his patches, without them I could not have made this, so big credit to him. Next to that, the screenshots are all in-game material (no mock-ups) and as you might notice I'm still pondering about the setup of certain menu's (wheather to put key items in the inventory or the quest log section for example). The character graphics (faces and portraits etc) are still temporary though, I got them from my old game folder (lol to marle and vegeta edits).

Anyways, feel free to comment on layout choises etc. I'm still thinking about changing the abstract backgrounds to normal tiled backgrounds again (it's a modern/futuristic game btw).

I have been working on a game of almost just battles without much story as a test for the battle mechanics of my main project.

Thanks for the positive feedback =). It's indeed pretty expansive, but as said: after making that central selectable item menu common event the coding is really easy.

As for your last question, both awnsers would be correct. It could be reused and the less developed version of this menu was used in Perfection 1.5. However the menu is intended for a game called Fatal Promise (working title). That game however is allready in development for 10 years. Pretty stupid, but I kept revamping stuff. I'm better of making small games, they keep me focused. Thus I'm now focussing on the systems and after that I'll see where it takes me =p. Btw, I've been out of the rpgmaker community for like 5 years, just recently got back in the Christmas Holidays =).

I don't have to make sprites, or tiles, or maps, or move routes in this project. I don't have to use switches or variables and it is completely liberating.

I don't even have HP to worry about!

Working rather intently on redoing RMXP's default battle system and menus ~ I'm trying to get around a number of the default limitations to do what I want to do. This is all being doing while I'm waiting to hear back from some individuals about permission to use certain resources. And then, once I hear back about the permissions, I'll be able to roll out a game page for the current project.

I was just rushin through, making a fan picture of my OC RPGmaker character savannah posing right next to her role model, cammy, other than that, I still have to do her battle animations x.x (I didn't finish the lower part because I got lazy =P)
