CloseGood evening ladies and gentlemen.
I've been looking all over google to see if anyone managed to recreate the Judgment Ring system under Rpg Maker 2k to VX, from the Shadow Hearts game series. And I found that it seems a few people attempted to over the years but never ever completed or released anything.
To take a look at this fun and innovative battle system, watch this (skip to 1:15) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OczBEkrHi3A
Now I'm posting this because I might just have succeeded in recreating that system under 2k3.
The event writing is actually quite simple, combining a few variables operations and Show/Move Images while keeping track of key press timing.
If anyone is interested in such a system, let yourself be heard and I'll start working on a demo to show it and share it with you.
EDIT: So far I've coded a battle system base and a lottery event, both working fine using the Judgment Ring. I still have some graphics to add and write a tutorial explaining how to draw your own Ring Areas and code them.
Here a first screenshot of the ring:

OriginalWij made a Judgment Ring script for VX some time ago, but I've seen very few people use it.
I'd like to see this, though! :) And if you don't mind, may I show your demo to the people following my SH tumblr? (It could sure use some new content~)

@Melkino: Thanks for the info. I just gave OriginalWij's script a try and I have to say it looks and feels very different from Shadow Hearts' Judgment Ring system.
Mine is almost identical to the original one. I still have some event writing to do but everything is working great so far.
I'll try to post a video sometime soon if I can. If not I'll at least post some screenshots of it. You'll all be welcomed to share the media with proper credit ^^
As for the demo, everyone will be free to use and/or edit it as long as they give me credit and don't make money out of it (duh).

The coding doesn't seem too complicated to me. The real pain is the tediousness of it, and having to draw hundreds of images...
EDIT: added a screenshot of the Judgment Ring.

Pretty awesome! Thx for the hard work, hopefully someone will get ambitious enough to make a game using the system.

Well I do have a Shadow Hearts fangame of my own... I started writing the plot and characters about 5 years ago but I've kept making changes every year or so... When I'll come up with something I really am satisfied with, I might just start making the game.
Anyway, I'd be glad to see someone else use this system ^^

There definitely needs to be another Shadow Hearts game, whether it be real or fanmade. I could care less, as long as the atmosphere, characters, and battle system are right.

Sadly the series seems abandoned for good. I know the team behind Shadow Hearts released a game called Lost Odyssey, but it really doesn't feel like a SH at all. On top of that the battle system is the same as the one in Legend of Dragoon...
I just got myself a brand new copy of SH FTNW, its the only one I haven't played yet.
I still have to do some more research in English history but should be able to share a preview of my SH project's plot and setting soon enough... so far the main ideas revolve around the 3 cursed books and the Victorian era.

Same as LOD you say!?!?!?! You just made me extremely happy, as that was by far my favorite battle system ever! I always felt that the judgment ring was kind of a rip off of the dragoon mode portion of battles, which is why I like it so much to begin with. I'll definitely check out Lost Odyssey in the near future!
