Dynamic Difficulty in RPGs

I've played a lot with dynamic difficulties. You can either make common battles take 1 minute on easy or 5 minutes on hard. I'd much much rather have 2 minute battles than 5. When the battle takes so long that I forget what I was doing in the map, that's not a good thing.

WYRM WARRIORS! Design a Dungeon!

I need to withdraw from making a dungeon. Work is killing me.

Dungeon Designs: The Good and Bad

Final Fantasy Legend 2 had a massive cave that was extremely painful, long and battles every 2 steps. It was so tough and horrible they made it optional.

Dungeon Designs: The Good and Bad

My favorite dungeon designs are the ones that I can make and play without knowing the exit and perfect pathways.

Anyone need a writer

Ben needs help with a skeleton swordfighter that's good with a club that stalks his neighbor in isolation.

Is there a way to reorder the "Item Database"?

I saw someone complaining about the lack of sortability and filters on the Steam forum. Even the dev said they'd like to have it... but they are powerless to make it happen.

WYRM WARRIORS! Design a Dungeon!

Alright started on Arandomgamemaker's dungeon.

So far I have an incomplete 5 floor dungeon with multi tiers via staircases. I originally started with a grand cube map, since it is a grand puzzle dungeon. It was going to be floor 1 = 3 maps, floor 2 = 9 maps, floor 3 = 9 maps making a cube. That was too daunting, plus its tough to make 27 maps feel fresh. The gimmick would have been pulling switches makes the map placement shift like X1Y1Z1 would shift to be X2Y1Z1 or something like that.

WYRM WARRIORS! Design a Dungeon!

Uh I can jump in and do some of these dungeons. Actually make them. Assuming everyone is okay with my dungeon making style. Are we doing 1 tile high for the walls like Craze or 2 tiles high?

Is it more than just 1 screen or is it 1 screen like Craze? I think this was discussed in the other topic, but well. I'd rather be making maps than reading :-)

Anyone need a RPG VX Ace Mapper?

I see what you mean. I guess that explains why your photos are so big?

It's quite wonderful seeing the quality of your maps, but I understand if posting them is a bit tedious. I do all my stuff on an old HP laptop, and it's a bitch to hit 4 keys to take a screenie XD

Making the photos is the tedious part :-)

So is it a Castlevania style place or a place with NPCs that serves a purpose?

And yes thank you Ben. Now I can flood the topic with maps again. Mu-ah-ha-ha-ha

Sadly there's no coloring or light in the map, its just the map.

And done! I PMed you the product.

Anyone need a RPG VX Ace Mapper?

Well I still make maps its just doing the whole full map photos is painful now with RPG Maker Ace. Gotta go one by one copy and paste.
