WOLFCODER'S PROFILE

It took me around 30 minutes to wire my board with events. Are you making direction events push the player in the direction of the arrows? Is the chipset completely impassable except for the events you specify below player? You can have each "mover" turn solid when the number of moves is zero. The player is the currently active player. You use another variable that specifies which player to take from, and then use that variable to unify each event. By this I mean each event calculates the target values to modify based on the currently active player, so depending on where the extra player data in variables goes and how much extra space for more variables you make, you could easily make a 128 player game.

Showing the positions of each player is a different story, but for 4 players you need 3 events that just relocate themselves to one space above the square they are on. And change their graphics to match the players. Each one would not be unified and be watching a specific player's variable stack. This would take a moment to set up with at least the positions. They could also respond to key presses so you could easily add the ability for the active player to interact with other players on the same space they are. (You leave extra variable space for each player so you can add more features without worrying about changing the stack size for each player).

There's just one problem with all this. I've seen RPG Maker VX missing lots of common things like reference by variable. There might be a missing feature that is critical to all this, but I do know you can't add items by reference of variable.

Hm... You do have a game with good reviews, so your reputation is sound. However, I think you should work out the kinks in RPG Maker VX for longer (about 10 days of development) and then show a more attractive project. I do like the underlying idea because my game is similar with the board layouts.

I would still want to take a look at the project and see if I could help you, but unfortunately I don't have or will use VX for this sort of thing. Even so, I can help you in other ways if you would like ^^

I'd rather think it's an amazing accomplishment if you can build a tower at the edge of a sandy cliff.

Here is Information on the project itself if you're unfamiliar.

I scrapped my first Alpha (for WeaponBirth) because it was suffering from horrible execution. It however, does have fragments of the level-up system and the world map system completed out of all the systems I planned. I've got this tech demo I want to prepare (it's very very short, so it won't take up much of your time) just to see what testers think so I have some basic feedback I can keep in mind when I design the second Alpha.

I'll add you as a tester, but because it seems the tester system is a little buggy (according to a statement in another thread) I'll directly send you the download link in a PM or however you prefer (don't worry, It's going to be a simple download, not a crappy third company download service website like Rapidshare). However, If it's too big to fit in a simple download I'll use Mediafire which lets you one-click the download and doesn't make you wait or anything.

Despite being short, you will understand what sort of system I was trying to design. You'll also see why I'm not happy with it (possibly). You'll only need to provide feedback to help me make at least an OK game to play. If you have problems and can't test any future demos due to time issues or anything else, I won't mind.

Thank you for your time in considering this, every bit of advice can be helpful on this tech demo and future demos I will put out. If you decide to accept this, I hope you enjoy testing my demos as well.

FF4 English version is a good example of the powers thing. I played the original FF4 English on the SNES and wondered why I couldn't do that awesome dark wave thing I saw Cecil do in the scenes. Not until I played the Japanese version did I find out it was removed in the English version.
