0RANGE00'S PROFILE

Is Detective posting every single map from their game in here or what..?

not only posting, but editing them according to people's wishes. A true community project :)

hey that dual attack sounds like a great idea! That makes the player test different combinations of characters in party. Just make sure to put some thought and effort into it. I hate it when some other games use similar system but only give you like one special attack only.

stronger forms of that dragon transformation sound cool too and i like the idea of your castle building.

best thing you can do now is to just start making this game!

Okay... It still sounds very typical cliche plot... But don't worry about that, it's fine for your first project. Besides it's most likely gonna change a little during development.

what kind of gameplay elements did you have in mind? Magic and skill systems are in very important position when it comes to j-RPGs. Is the gameplay gonna have something to do with this dragon form? Maybe you could have a skill system where your numerous playable characters could teach their individual skills and magic to other characters? This way the player could have some control on how to develop their characters.

honestly, sounds very generic. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's a matter of execution really. What is the role of these ancient king, wizard, ranger and dragon? If you don't mind giving spoilers :) just wondering where the story is going...

also RPG Maker scene already got suikoden clones, Legion Saga comes to mind, so i'd recommend coming up with a twist of your own to suikoden formula.

in any case, keep at it!

:D it's just the general feel of different systems. And i definitely prefer rm2k's battle system. There was a time when all i wanted was final fantasy style side-view battles, but after the initial amazement rm2k3's battle sys started to seem a litte "off". There's just something i can't quite put my finger on about the system that i don't like. Maybe it's got something to do with how it's really troublesome trying to sync battle animations and battle character movements. Maybe how the cursor never seems to quite point at the character you'd want. Battles even flow a lot slower than those in rm2k... Evem the default font is uglier.

i know there are ways around these issues, as i've seen many games that got no problems, but in my mind rm2k3 just seems off.

still i use it, because.. Well it's simply better engine. Especially if you want to make custom systems. :P if that makes any sense..
