@NB: Nero's pose looks absolutely retarded. Otherwise, it's really good! Seriously though, it looks like he is standing with his chest puffed out a foot in front of him, but his legs are clearly both in view so that's not possible... I just don't know what's is going on!

Making an idle stance for a weaponless caster is really, really difficult. I'm open to any ideas.

I'll add Demon souls the rpg new game that came out for the ps3 to my list of curently playing rpgs


If any of you think of getting this great game than let me tell you this you are ment to die and you are ment to die often, even though the only loss is your main currency...Souls and you can not sell extra loot to gain some but you can kill other players(although ihave never Errr.. "visisted" another realm to just that) AND YOU CAN BECOME ONE OF THE BOSSES

here's a link to a review

A shamewaste that it's on the PS3.

There's a funny story behind this screen... Well, it's not so funny as it is long, and pointless. Here we go:

A few months ago I redid the battles gylphs for my game, rejoicing was done. There was some work left undone; but that could be saved for later.

I come back later, whilst waiting for my brother some artwork for the game done, to finish it up when the gylph file vanished off the face of my hard drive... SO It was time to start over. When starting over I had remember neophyte's advice I had ignored due to laziness overlooked earlier and took special care to align icon and the text, something a lot of people apparently overlook.



While I was there I figured "Well, let's change the hp and mp icons into something more minimalistic!"
then I thought "why does Nero stand like a cardboard cutout?" so I fixed him too... After that I realized "... Why does the select bar obscure the atb meter" So I went around and fixed that too! Finally, I realized the arrow selector was misaligned (and, funnily enough impossible to properly align due to size constraints) so I just removed it,as it's pointless screen filler anyway.

It is a delicate dance. If you make it too much of a hassle to even get through the average battle; the player may lose patience and just not want to play; if you make it too simplistic - it becomes boring.

With that said, this sounds like a perfectly reasonable excuse to mention my game for no reason!

As much as I hate the shtick; it's the easiest way to get my meaning across. Each character has their own set of commands. Some characters lack the attack command, some lack the defend command, hell; two characters in the game won't even be able to use the item command; a staple in pretty much every RPG.

Not only does it give each character further distinction from one another (the others being abilities stats and equipment capabilities), but it is an elegant first step to solving the attack mashing problem. The second step would be to, as many others have done, giving enemies certain weaknesses and strengths; as well as requiring the player to even heal during normal battles; while of course taking care to not make the encounters too long.

Shorter and harder encounters, giving the player the option to avoid fighting sometimes, and making each character distinct are a few basic steps every game can take to make battles a little more interesting.
