KALIESTO'S PROFILE

DELETED

BAH! You're no fun when it comes to the wizard's house. :(

1.) I think that's alittle nitpicky about the mountain (it's actually not a pyramid). I know for consistency sake we have to abide by some things, but are we not pigeon holing ourselves? I'm pretty sure anyone who plays this game is not going to have low IQs. l'll delete that pesky little leever, it was just meant to keep you on your toes. I really don't see anyone can mistaken the mountain to be landable, I made it very obvious it was not.

Not quite sure what you're asking for about the sand-fall pits, I thought it was pretty obvious there was a bottom because there was no land to fall onto, but I can put something around it for the Gerudo Falls portion.

As for the Gerudo, I would extremely hate having to scrap them, so I'm going to work on them some more because I really don't want to see them go. As for the errors you caught, I didn't even see those which is surprising, that must have been when I was changing the graphical sizes of the gerudos.

I'm surprised you want this stage split in two, not really as long as the temple I made, but l'll see what I can do. What I could do before you reach the mountain area is that I will cut off the entrance to it, and give it it's own area. I will call that one Gerudo Falls, and the other just Gerudo Desert.

EDIT:
If I can't fix the gerudos, I'm gonna be really sad. :(

I've been pretty busy myself, but I'm about to get around finishing up the desert, and add some minor touches to the temple.

EDIT:
I had to completely scrap the scorpion monster, it was too hard to work with because of the sprite itself, I will wait till someone uses it if they managed to make it work right.

EDIT 2:
Uploaded the latest Gerudo Desert version, it's 90% finished, I'm just adding some things here, and there to make it more interesting at the moment. Most likely be finished maybe tomorrow or the end of the week.

I notice this has always been a issue to me in alot of rpg maker games, and even outside of it. Why would Monster A cooperate with Monster B and be in the same encounter group? There is a lack of logic when it comes to this.

Example:
You're in a dank cave, and you run into a encounter. A wild wolf appears along with a slime. Do they have some form of relationship in order to attack the player? Honestly it would not make sense because slimes are mindless eaters while the wolf might have some form of intelligence, but the two would be opposed to eachother for obvious reasons. Let's take it even further, why would both different type of species live in the same cave with eachother? There would be a mutual hostility toward both groups. Maybe I really should let it slide, but there needs to be common sense for monster encounters.

Now when it comes to encounters on the world map, that really isn't a issue because you're traveling, and you could encounter anything out there. (But some common sense is needed).

Now let's rework the dank cave:
Now slimes usually like dark, and damp places (well depending how you want to twist it), and thus the cave would mostly have slime-like monsters, but maybe a few other encounters like a large bat, but they would not really be grouped together in a encounter as they would not be friendly with eachother. Wolves would be excluded because they have common sense to not be in a cave with carnivorous slimes while bats don't have the intelligence to know the present danger in the area, thus become a eco-system of sorts, but the wolf would know better because of better intelligence and thus not be present in that cave. We could work this further, and put ruins that were deep inside the cave,but not damp for slimes to live in (unless you want to make ruins just as damp as the rest of the cave). What you would mostly find in the ruins could be anything, magical guardians, golems, demons,etc that rule that part of the cave, and keep anything else out.

EDIT:
To further a example of the dank cave:
Area A:
Slime-infested, mostly likely to encounter slimes more often than bats
Area B:
There is a huge water source in the cave, some slimes are present, but you could put some kind of aquatic creature specifically for this area. Bats are still present.
Area C:
The further deep you go it becomes less damp, thus less slimes, but more bats, and the absence of the aquatic monsters from the last floor.
Area D:
The ruins appear, the slimes are mostly gone at this point, but the bats are still present. You enter the ruins, and you find it protected by magical golems, and other machinations from the creators of old or it can be anything else to your liking as long you think it out.

Another thing you can't have so many different type of monsters in one place unless there is a special reason for it (like the final dungeon to a game or for plot purposes).

That is basically my explanation. All in all this is only my opinion, but I hope people take the time to put common sense in monster encounters. Alot of considerations need to be thought of before putting said monster into a dungeon.

This also means you need to brush up on myths/animals/cryptids/legends/etc to where most of these creatures came form, and why they are the way they are. This not only helps you in knowledge, but helps your RPG game.

EDIT:
I think my days in DnD has kind of made me into a Monster Nazi in a way..though ironically DnD has pretty much ruined itself over the years because of too many bad ideas spoiling the soup. Ever heard of a Vampire-Unicorn? WUT?

Now I do understand some RPG maker monsters are not derived from anything other than creativeness, but always keep in mind of common sense, and what makes your monster the way it is.

EDIT:

Wait a moment, I didn't know you were in the making of a prequel. I will wait for right now till it's done, and take a whole go on this series later. :)
