RODEN'S PROFILE

I know that Tales of Vesperia has a conversation during the start of almost every boss fight, usually continuing on from the pre-battle dialogue. I thought that was a nice touch. It's a shame that you don't see people doing more of this kind of thing, and I honestly can't even think of one example of a game on here that includes it. Even more so, I can't think of any game that has shopping dialogue.

You've gotten it into my head now, so I may try to do something with it. It's a little more difficult to pull off well without voice acting, though.

Unfortunately a lot of the problems that you've been having with the engine are hard to alleviate. It's not really an open engine as such, it's more of a straight drag and drop with no in depth editing, unless you want to get into coding custom enemies and shit- but at that point you could probably just go full board and make your own damn game.

I'm probably not going to mess around with Knytt Stories for a little. The way it is now, with the changes I want to put into Adventure in Aquamarine, it'll take a while to fix everything up. I'm not really up to that at the moment so I'm gonna leave it.

I think I'm probably going to try my hand at another RPG, see how that goes. Me and my partner are planning to make a fair number of platformers so we'll get a lot pf practice with it, but the small number of RPGs we want to do need to be really top notch, so I feel like I need to have a little practice with that.

Yeah, everything I used for AiV is just pack in stuff. There's a ton of it so it felt like the right decision. It'd be easy to branch out and do custom things however.

I'm thinking about toying around with SMBX as well, actually. Not until I finish my current workload though.

Not sure, it's been a while since I played the Knytt Stories tutorial. I didn't design it, so...

I'll run through it real quick, cause that does look impossible.

EDIT: Just make the hologram when it doesn't have its spikes active.
