RMN3 Approaches June 6th! Command?
What a coincidence I was watching Saving Private Ryan just a minute ago!
Also thanks for reminding me about my dad's birthday, RMN. :<

Funnily enough I think the questions this guy asks are probably the best I've seen on RMN.
...just kidding.

How do YOU balance YOUR monsters?
1) How do YOU keep battles interesting?Making enemies in each group as distinct as possible with their own unique abilities. I've decided on giving only a few monsters the "Attack" ability while the rest do things such as status effects, draining HP and hurling magic damage at you until they explode.
2) How do YOU balance your enemies so that it's fair, yet challenging?Besides playtesting, keeping in mind the level at which the player is supposed to be. I don't want the player to start off feeling in a pinch in every battle, so I've decided on making a difficulty gradient (emphasis on "fair" here). To begin with, every battle is winnable by simply bashing the "attack" button, but later on I plan to introduce monsters, for example with incredible ATK that rip you to shreads unless you use a certain ATK-decreasing skill.
I don't really make any calculations, so....yeah. Just lots and lots of playtesting for the most part.
3) How do YOU go about creating monsters?As F-G said environment is key. Also I'm trying to avoid things like slimes and introducing slightly bigger monsters right off the bat. Hope it works out.
Your Game Sucks
I don't know, I always thought making the audience feel involved was a great way to help a story unfold.
Destroying RTP in VX: need help
author=Darken link=topic=3925.msg78465#msg78465 date=1244110920Just in case here's the program in question.
Charsets are basically the same width/height ratio, except the character facings are switched around. (Theres a program that fixes the facings to VX floating around)
