Everything began with last messages of BlancIX and HikiNeet messages. Yes, like a noob I didn't checked who was Acquire company, lol. They got me curious and I wonderer if they had more heroes that I could use in my game.

Unfortunaly, Acquire mobile game, Rood to Dragons only has battlers and no portraits...

Still, I got hyped because they had the evolution of Junta class!!! O(≧▽≦)O

I was like "OMG! I want this!!

Problem n°1 : I can't sprite
That means, no battler or in game game character to follow the evolution.

Problem n°2 : I don't know how to draw
So no, portrait to fit the evolution

Problem n°3 : I don't have a lot of money
I can't commission someone to sprite or draw all the 4 heroes with their 4 evolutions.

Hype deflated...


But I'm stuborn, I think that's too cool for me to not use them.

My first idea is to make different class for Junta where those pictures would appear but more I tried to make something interesting and more I encountered problems.


But didn't Yandly made a plugin to change class ?
Yes, but I didn't find any option that let you carry over some selected skills to your new class. What would be the point to level the same branch class if you can't you for example : swordman skills with Berserker skills ?

I searched a lot of time, even tried Yanfly learn skill plugin but it was the same as above, then I came accross MoggleX equip skills slot.


What's does that new plugin do ?
It let you setup a number of skill that you can equip on your heores like in Devil Survivor. But the problem, is the number of slots per type of skill is limited.

For example : I've 6 swordman skills and 4 Berserker skills.
I can't tell the plugin (unless I missed something) to let me equip skills from them.
No the plugin want me to setup a number of slot for my Swordman skill first then for my Berserker Skills. That means I can't freely use any slot to put any of skills for Junta.


So you ended up with Titles ?
Yes, I made something more simple. I still use Yanfly plugin change class but I renamed titles.
Titles will work like in Tales of games serie.
They will give you boost in stats.
You will still learn normaly skills class while leveling.

BUT! I will try to make titles a little more interesting.
When you learn a titles you will gain some passives buffs.
I'm not sure what yet, lol.

Anyway, it took me the wole day yesterday to come to that conclusion. Understanding how the plugins work consummed a lot of my time (I tried more than those just 2-3 plugins.

Here's a sneak peak of the Titles window, nothing fancy here and I still need to change a lot of things, for example : the window skin to match with my menu.



Sorry for the big post but I needed to vent my frustration of yesterday, lol

After some reflection, I think I wil not just give passive but also active skills (depending of my inspiration and what is doable or not).
Those skills won't be shared through all titles like the normal ones, only when you active the title.

Example : Eshely
- Title 1 > acolythe > let you have a field skill that let you have a chance to forage more material (passive skill)
- Title 2 > priest (or monk?) > let you equip mace with a chance to stun enemies. Nice if you are tired of always casting spells and want to play a bit in "auto-mode" on trash monsters.
