Don't get McDohl started.
Somehow, I don't think he'll ever hear the end of that.
Heh heh.

Skill Upgrading System

I don't know if you can do this in 2k3 (assuming that's what you're using), but you could link the skill to a common event that raises a variable by 1, then checks if the variable is equal to 50 and either replaces Burn with Ignite or does nothing.

Help!

Thanks for the update, that was bugging me the whole 2 minutes before you made the last post.

Schools Out Return

I'm 2 days late here but welcome back anyway.

What are you thinking about right now?

I worry about the frequency with which I abandon ("hiatus") existing game projects due to a new idea that is often half-formed, half-baked, and barely an idea at all.

It is a fucking sickness (Craze syndrome), and it's happening again.
Welcome to the last 3/4 of a year of my life and the reason I have absolutely nothing to call my own. I should just pick something and stick with it.

A couple of important questions ~

I am also wondering if there is a way to change the way the battle is seen. For example i want to make it more like a final fantasy 5 type battling, where the heroes are on the right and the enemies are on left. how exactly do i do that?
That depends on which version of RM you're using. If it's XP or VX, then there are scripts for that sort of thing. If you're using 2000, then you're shit out of luck.

The characters pop out way more than the tiles. You could probably soften the outlines on the charsets; instead of using black, edit it so that the outline is a darker shade of whatever color it's touching. That should make them blend in a little more.

Your Game Sucks

I don't think the problem is with epic RPGs so much as it is developers who don't have the skill or willpower to actually finish a good game.RPG Maker is a wonderful program; it gives anyone, regardless of background and experience, the ability to make their own amazing masterpiece with little to no effort! Except, it doesn't.

The problem is, most people see it that way. I know I did when I first downloaded XP. But you can't make something amazing without proportional effort, and people advertise their ultimate masterpieces that they ultimately don't have the motivation to finish.

Not that I'm any authority on the matter; this is just what I see happening, and what happened to me with both Catastrophe and Oceanus. I still plan on making an epic RPG, but I'm going to put WAY more effort into it than I ever did with either, and I'm probably going to release episodically.

EDIT: Also, pretty much what Aero just said. tl;dr, it's about the developers, not the games they're making.
