Suikoden - A New Destiny

For anyone who creates a game, you know exactly HOW it is to be a one man army...

I certainly do, to a degree. To be fair, I'm not using assets from Suikoden like this game is. However, I know from my own attempt at making a tribute to Suikoden that there's a lot going on under the hood. Having recruits register with the Tablet of Destiny, marking them as "dead" if (when?) need be? The shops whose inventory expands with each other shop you visit? These things were tough to figure out by themselves, much less stuff like Unites. Which were their own headache. Though, to be 100% honest, I don't know if Unites work the way they would be expected to!

Unites is a thing you can easily achieve with Victor Sant battle script. It has never been implemented with Theolized.

This kind of actions are a way too hard to script. You have to cancel actions from the other members. The script has to know which characters are linked together and has to cancel all other actions if one of them use Unite.

To be honest, it is easy with Victor Sant but his battle script is a mess, and there are so many things you have to put away. Theolized is the best battle script on VX Ace and by FAR. (That's my opinion tho)
I found a way to implement shift command, pretty much like rows switching when a character dies but this is what I have done by myself using switches and variables. Changing coding in Theolized too.

So ... They are 2 things I have to let down for now. Unites and actions done all at the same time like in suikoden. Tbh i think is a great thing but geez it is a mess where is hard too see your actions.

Even if I'm using sprites from a game. It still a huge work to do. You have to create a file for every single sprite. It takes hours and hours to do. 108 characters plus all NPCs plus all poses and more.
