NEVERSILENT'S PROFILE

I'm probably overthinking this again, but I never really understood why someone would try to steal an item from an enemy they were going to fight and defeat anyway. Wouldn't you get that item either way after you kill the enemy that carries it? And why can some items in some games only be obtained by stealing them from living enemies, but not looted from their dead bodies?

The only answer I could come up with is that attacking an enemy could bring the risk of destroying the valueables they carry. As an example, there is a passive trait in The Drop (I think it's called "Forceful Blows") that increases a character's attack power but lowers the item drop rate, because the character hits so hard she tends to damage their stuff when she crushes enemies.
A principle like this could possibly make for an interesting twist of a battle system, where each attack has a chance to decrease enemies' item drops. Defeating an enemy the normal way would then still be very possible, but result in getting less loot. That would make stealing interesting as a "safe way" to obtain an enemy's valueables without running the risk of destroying them.

Don't worry, urano, I'm not going to sue you. ^_^

By the way, glad to hear you are making so much progress with this, Red_Nova. It looks pretty good so far. Are you going to release a (beta) version before the contest deadline or will the game only be available after the contest has ended?

This thread needs some more RPG Maker games:

The Dop: A psychological roguelike set inside the mind of an alcoholic.

Ra Fell: "What will happen to our civilization now that the gods themselves have fallen?" A survival adventure that takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of ancient Egypt.

Master of the Win: An incredibly boring game where you always automatically win, no matter what you do.

Hero's Real: A comedy RPG that sarcastically portraits what would happen if superheroes existed in the real world.

Reaming Mary: Help Mary deal with the overwhelming challenges of her life - by cheating everybody else really hard.

The Gumpy Knight: After he travelled back in time to the Middle Ages and was accidentally knighted, what adventures will Forrest Gump have to face next? Do you have the gumption needed to survive in this weird RPG, or will you just try to run away?

Miss the Sunrise: A surreal beauty contest simulation where female lizard people compete for the title of Miss "The Sunrise".

To the Moo: "Goat Simulator" was only the beginning. Experience the exciting life of a cow in this brand new game.


Edit: Blast! I just realized nhubi already came up with Reaming Mary before me. Sorry.

You're welcome, Volrath. I found it difficult to explain my thoughts about this game and why I like it so much, but rest assured that I'm 100% sincere about everything I wrote in my review. And yes, I'm still glad that e-mail directed me to this game.

About your future projects, well, if you managed to make a game as great as Master of the Wind, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to do it again.

A new Indrah&Fomar game, featuring Elsa and Alma?! I am so subscribing to this!
Good luck with this project, I'm already looking forward to playing it.
