SAUCE'S PROFILE

I gotta ask. How do you guys churn out so many maps? Especially quality maps.

Any techniques you use? Templates? Draw the map before you make it? Anything that helps you make them faster?

I know I'm bad at visualising how the pieces can be used, but I'm just talking about volume here.

I have such trouble making many maps that I try and get lots of mileage out of each one. Sometimes I see gorgeous maps in rm games that you spend a grand total of 10 seconds in.

Er, I don't know if this is different on other makers, but I use 2k3.

I'd change the animation type to fixed direction. I'm assuming you're doing an action key click on the monster to trigger the backattack, and the monster is roaming around aimlessly?

If that's the case, give it a fixed direction animation. Then give it a custom route. "Face Random Direction - Move Forward" at whatever frequency you want. When you click on it, it won't face you, and your conditionals can take over from there.


It's a different question if you want a system where the monster sees you when you're in its line of sight and then starts chasing you, and sneak attacking means staying out of its line of sight until you reach it.

How plausible is it to make these in 2k3?

You're the tech guru. I differ to your rm culinary expertise.

Actually, I DID want to make a taco.

Canadian taco. Does this different greatly from the Tex Mex tacos I grew up on in Dallas?

We'll take any suggestions for creative attacks, too. If you've seen our cutscenes, you know we like to get carried away. And we'd love to translate that into our battles.
