EXCLANE'S PROFILE

Hey, heard of Dark Souls? Of course you have, no one has shut up about it since it came out. Anyway, the game is only $16 dollars where I live and I was thinking of picking up a copy. I'm very hesitant to though, not because of it's reputation as one of the hardest modern RPGs, but because I didn't like it's predecessor, Demon's Souls. But I've read that Dark Souls makes a number of changes to Demon's Souls formula. These changes, so I've read, are suppose to make the game more difficult, but also more balanced. So Dark Souls is more challenging then Demon's Souls, but presents more of a fair challenge. Not having played Dark Souls I have no idea if this is true.

So, can anyone who has played Dark Souls tell me if they feel it's worth $16 to someone like me, who enjoys hardcore RPGs but didn't enjoy Demon's Souls? Because if it's not I can always pick up my copy of Etrian Odyssey.

EDIT: Damn, typo in the title. Please ignore it. It's obvious what it was meant to say.

I'd like to discuss for a moment the possibility of an RPG based off the Terminator film series. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think that one could work?

Personally, I think one would work much better if it were set in the future during the machine war. That opens up a lot of possibilities, for one it would be much easier to incorporate original characters and Terminator models.

Does anyone know if theres any good vampire games here on RMN? The only one I know of on here is Vampiros.

A "Vampire Game" in this case can count as any game with a central focus on vampires. Such as the main character being a vampire (or some kind of hybrid) or a game about hunting and killing vampires. I prefer the games in the latter category over the games in the former category.

Okay, I followed this tutorial step by step three times:

http://rpgmaker.net/tutorials/403/

But it didn't work. Whenever I defeated an enemy that I set up to increase a variable by one it did not. I've been trying for hours to get this to work, but I just gave up and decided to ask for help...again.

Can someone follow this tutorial and get it to work? Because I can't. I know your probably thinking I forgot to do something that it says needs to be done but that's not the case, I followed this tut step by step and set it up exactly how it described it should be (I can post screen shots to prove this).

And yes, I read the two tuts that came before it and got them working without any problems.

Like I've said in other posts, I'm making a game with only one playable character, and I need a little help with some scripts. I want to make have a system in my game I call "The Relic System".

You see, the character in the game starts with some weak skills and does not learn anymore skills via leveling. Instead, he learns new skills by equipping items, called Relics. They take up the "Accessory" slot. Now, the character can only use certain skills if the corresponding relic is equipped, and can't use them when the relic is not equipped. For example:

The player has two relics in their inventory, one call "Fire Relic" and the other "Ice Relic". The player equips the Fire Relic, and can use fire attacks in battle. The player removes the Fire Relic and equips the Ice Relic. They can no longer use fire attacks in battle, but can now use ice attacks.

I also want each relic to be a double-edged sword. For example: If the Ice Relic is equipped, fire attacks will do double damage but ice attacks will heal the player.

But there's also some one-sided relics, such as one that raises attack but does nothing else. (This can be done without scripts however, so I don't need help with these)

So basically I want to make equipment that changes the player's skill set depending on whether or not it is equipped. So if anyone has a script like that, knows where to find a script like that, or can teach me to make a script like that, that'd be great.

I use RPG Maker VX.
