SHORTSTAR'S PROFILE

I am making a program to generate enemies. It is done, but very basic. Right now, it makes an enemy tree based on the actor stats in your party and grades (A-F).

It generates the highest grade you want your enemies to be, then generates the tree to the lowest grade you want your enemies to be at. The enemies are given YOUR classes, so if your party has a Paladin and Magician, it will make those and it will not make Priests or Warriors.

grade A = 2x as powerful as the class (bosses)
grade B = just as powerful as the class (mini bosses)
grade C = 1/2x as powerful as the class (average)
grade D = 1/3x as powerful as the class (weak and abundant)
grade E = 1/4x as powerful as the class (weaker and more abundant)
grade F = 1/5x as powerful as the class (slimes and extremely abundant)

It works really well. However, it cannot actually make the enemies for you in RPG Maker. Here is an enemy tree of A-F so you can get the jist of it:

These are based on standard characters the default RPG Maker VX starts with:

Warrior is in your party:
max HP: 594
max MP: 70
ATK: 27
DEF: 22

Good job Max! I finally understand now!

Maybe I will take some time out today and make an enemy generator tool. Based on parameters you set and not AI of course :-)

No you didn't keep me up.

Oh I understand... you wanting a smart RPG maker to make the perfect RPG = you're too lazy to make an RPG. So you dream up ideas :-)

I'm not talking about random exactly. Maybe parameters. You the user of the program set parameters, thus making it not random. Nothing really would be random, it would have algorithms. Such as to make houses from prefabrications. Having quests, from quest types "rescue" "kill" "fetch" "escort."

If the core system were easy, we'd see 1,000s of RPG makers or indie RPGs without RPG maker. All the other stuff like making the enemies, making weapons, making equipment would be easy.

mineral + weapon type = weapon
material + equipment type = equipment
gender + level + class = actor
gender + level + monster class = enemy

Morrowind and Oblivion did this well. Morrowind was too detailed with it.

Then you do tiers... like 10 tiers per game.
Each tier would consist of
1 or 2 town (or specify in the parameters)
1 or 2 battle areas (or specify in parameters)
tier enemies
tier equipment
tier goals
Then you move on to the next tier

5 tiers = 1 castle (or specify in parameters)
4 tiers = 1 boat

Core system to PLAY the game = tough.
In fact, someone should make a generator so people can just copy and paste the stuff into RPG maker and avoid the whole making a game core. Just a thought :-)
