SHADOWSONG'S PROFILE

In a lot of games dungeons are simply random encounter filled areas with very little mechanical differentiation or they lack any puzzles to make them more than just another cave or ancient tower of evil.

So I'm curious what goes through your guys's heads when you design your dungeons. Do you try to add some sort of mechanical spin to make the player think differently? Do you pull a Final Fantasy 6 and have split parties? What is your design process for dungeons?

The last post I made about character skill sets seemed to be pretty popular so I thought I'd make another post along the same lines.

The question this time around is how do you design your battle system? While designing my game I looked a lot at the SMT series of games. I liked the focus on elements and the press turn system I think it's called from Nocturne. I also drew some elements from WoW when it came to designing boss fights and encounters.

So I'm curious, what do you do when designing your battle systems?

I just opened up the home page of RMN and got a screen saying security was hacked? I'll edit and upload a picture in a bit but anyone know what's going on? Any of the admin or staff have any clue?
EDIT: Here is what I'm seeing

EDIT 2: Also seeing this

I am using Yanfly Battle Engine Ace and whenever a buff or debuff is placed on a target it appears kinda weird. There are squares like this next to it . It doesn't happen with states, only stat buffs and debuffs. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello guys, my name is Shadowsong and I like to make and play RPGs. See you guys around, bye!
