CHAOS17'S PROFILE

By the way, are you considering making two more party members for earth and darkness?

I did but unfortunaly the artist who made those free portraits I use, only made those 4. I've others free portraits from others artists but they're too different in style :x

So unfortunaly, I will stick t only those 4 I guess.

Maybe you can introduce NPCs that you can learn skills from so that you don't get them all from just leveling up. 'Course, they might desire payment for teaching you.

I also though about the idea but buy passive skills instead. I'm not sure yet.

Having certain equipment bestow a skill while it's being worn could work too.

I don't plan to introduce that feature in this game. I want it for another game that I started before the rpgmakerweb.com event that Chibi Dungeon was born from :

Are you going to have optional bonus bosses hidden in the game?

Yup.

So Midori is water. One thing she can do with it is cure burns (by cooling them down). Another is to inflict Soak on the enemy, a state that makes them take more damage from Thunder but less from Fire attacks. It wears off in a few turns (drying off) but the duration is reduced by 1 turn every time the target is struck by Thunder/Fire attacks. Lastly, poisons tend to be in liquid form (or gas) so what better way to inflict that status than with a water spell?

I really like your ideas but I can't 100% implement it.
I can do the Soak state that make Thunder do more damage.
But I can't reduce the number of turn left whenever Thunder is used :(
I understand your logic about poison. I'm not decided yet since Midori has already another spell type waiting for her. I might instead give it to Eshely. I will see.

Kuro could get a Lightning Rod skill. Works like Taunt but draws in all Thunder attacks instead. Taunt might be too OP for him to have. A lesser-version would be called Magnetic Field which would attract all Metal (neutral) attacks. Essentially, robots, golems, and any monster that uses metal weapons or armor. Taunt should make enemies want to hit the user more, not suck up all physical attacks. Vigilant Protector/Guard(ian) would be a better name for someone who does the latter.

It's technicaly not possible even with Yanfly plugin of taunt.
Either you can taunt physical or magical attacks or both.
Also there is no aggro range/meter, it applies on all enemis.

Ice is usually associated with water if it's not its own element. It's the same with wind to thunder. But I suppose you can't really give Midori any ice spells nor Kuro any wind ones since they would be weak to fire/earth (what water/thunder are weak to). Water can beat fire but ice gets melted in turn.

Indeed, but I might expand that circle of element in a sequel, lol.


So to resume : I will keep in my your DoT ideas but using them only or boss or mini boss might not be that interesting for the player snce most of the time in normal combat he won't need to use them. So I will need to be carefull of when I and how will implement the DoTs. I might put "Foes"/mini boss monsters on the maps like Etrian Odyssey to give some opportunity to use the DoTs if I implement them.

This is looking good!A Shop system that you can only buy items that you've found...i like it!Adds more emphasize on the exploration part of the game!Cool stuff there(I can finally stock up on restoring items YES!!!!)!

I am happy that you like and I hope others will also enjoy it.
Balance problem may happen so I am counting on you guys to tell me if an item heal enough or not.

Food for thought, though I suppose this may be difficult to implement.

I think so too.

So instead of them dropping potions, you can loot monster corpses for ingredients like their meat.

That's the plan but I don't want to make 90% of the items only for crafting, so some of them will still have some regen effects.

Not honey pots or cups of red juice or even bread 'cause I doubt monsters carry that on their persons.]

Unfortunaly, I don't have enough of large choice of icons to have the luxury to have different kind of compenements so I will try instead to put generic stuff like "honey pot", lol.
Yeah for example, I don't have any Beehive icon (or even a bee monsters in the same style as the one I use)...

Instead, I tried to apply a general idea, for example : you find honey in beehive and beehive is usualy on a tree.
Tree is part of the earth element in my game, so you will find Honey pot on Earth monsters.

You might end up finding a man-eating plant camouflaged among the harmless or get stung by poisonous bees for your troubles though.

Yeah, story mode will have little events like that and if possible with a respawn timer like Etrian Odyssey has but I don't have any day and cycle...

Hmm, cooking would be a nice function. Item crafting of a sorts.

I will use a shop system like Etrian odyssey serie has, you sell stuff and it will unlock new stuff to buy for you :)
