TDS'S PROFILE

So, you want something like this?

I think it's mostly used for familiarity and to draw from nostalgia. I've seen games where they use features from older games just to say they're using them and it works because that's all people talk about when they mention those games.

And trying new things requires time and testing and you run the risk of people simply not liking it or not really wanting to understand what you're trying to do. I saw it happen with a pretty good tactical battle system that used a lot of new ideas well, but people just kept badgering the creator to add features from other games like Disgaea, FF Tactics, Fire Emblem, even when the suggestions made no sense at all and they wanted them in because other games had them.

Short version: Use of old system/ideas allows you to bypass the human nature of being adverse to new things.

Here is a pretty good remix.

Map number 3, Hill of Destiny!

Also did the collapse effect to see if it could be done with just a call script, it's not perfect, but close enough.

@Skie Fortress:

Looks good and simple, but a little bit too big (Maybe 5~10% of the HUD's size). For which RM did you design it in mind for?
