FAILEDLEGEND'S PROFILE

The world really needs more SRPGs.

I particularly would like to see much more games that play like Shining Force with RPG gameplay in between the battles (exploring towns, finding hidden passage and treasures)

That's something that disappointed me so much about FFTactics advance(the first tactical rpg I ever played) I really felt it needed exploration and walking around town talking to people

The Advance versions of FFT were massive disappointments imo especially when compared to the original...classes became limited by race, judegs randomly cut off certain abilities, the art style and tone went from super in-depth and serious to quirky and kiddish (their doing the same with the DS FF remakes their all that annoying chibi style now.

Correct way to do FF Art Style:



Current FF Art Style:




Anyways I DO plan to have towns be walkable, I never liked the "Menu towns" not sure if I'm doing dungeons though...the world map may or may not be free roam...I'd really rather it wasn't mostly for SRPG nostalgia reasons.

The main issue with mixing dungeons and SRPG battles is that battles in a SRPG take WAY longer than standard RPG fights so dungeons would likely only have a few scripted encounters...maybe I could make puzzle dungeons with only the "Boss" causing an encounter.

Thanks for all the help so far guys I've gotten quite a few of the scripts I was looking for so far, I didn't actually expect so much response but still got at least one must have one left

1. A way to allow players to add custom "Generic" characters to the party to mix and match with pre-made "Heros" (customization would be simple..choose a starting class possibly allow a few cosmetic and stat choices...not really required though) heh too bad I can't just put the CHaracter Generator from RPGMakerVXAce in game its pretty cool way to make facesets and sprite sets

As for the tactical RPG Battle Script - Currently I'm looking at GTBS V2.4 and it looks promising but will take some testing...Hoping to integrate Layy Meta Engine for the isometric view. Feel free to keep hunting down other RGSS3 or RPGMakerVX Tactics Systems though as I'm open to trying anything.

There's also my minor thingss I'd like to do...these are all optional and I'd have no issue making the game w/o and and will also be done last if I even have time but I really would like to include them.

1. A way to have the characters move along a path from important location to important location on the world map instead of free-roam

2. A crafting system (I LOVE crafting systems so I'd like to try to include one)

3. A Bestiary

4. A Records book (ie. Time played, total monsters killed, highest damage, highest money,etc.)

5. A Tutorial section (In case anyone hasn't played an SRPG before I'd like to outline the basics) selectable from the in-game menu...most likely just a bunch of text explanations but if I have extra time I might script some visual aids.

Thanks for the link maybe DFalcon could help me out if I PM him and thank you for the good wishes.

You're welcome. The other developer that I consider has tactical battle covered is Deltree. Probably not quite the way you envision it, but I'm sure he'd willing to help you with your X-mas wish. BTW, not to scare you, fl, but you've got just over 11 weeks to get it done.

Lol it's for NEXT X-Mas this year I'm making them Hockey Jerseys for our guild the "ADHD Warriors"

Anyone know a good place to ger faceset, chipsets,etc. I'm ok at sprites but everything else is beyond my capabilities

I am glad that there's some activity on the Tactical gamefront. I got hooked to it from playing the Shining Force and many of the games made by Spiderweb Software games, which have some RPG elements to them. It is a highly overlooked genre. The most representative game hosted by RMN is Aurora Wing, so yeah, it is quite possible. Good luck getting resources for your project, failedlegend!

Oh and to everyone I forgot to mention If I can pull this off I'm going to be giving this to my friends as an X-Mas gift (which X-Mas is the question :P) and each will have themselves (or an avatar of some sort that represents them) as the moan character but If they do like it when I post it on here their names will be changed for their privacy and the main character will be changed for a wider audience (and will have key scenes changed to make sense and develop his character)

Also Yanfly is one person and a he. He never made that last script public.

Oh cool is that his homepage or just a news site cause I've been trying to find the most up to date version to test with (this one is the most recent thanks)

Real bummer Yanfly hasn't made that script public the class selection is VERY similar to FFT class select, oh well I don't blame him for keeping some of his tricks for himself :P

Are you sure you didnt make RPG Toolkit Gandalf :P No worries I'll check it out when I get home (at my buddies right now) any helpful tutorials you suggest?

Oooo Moghunters thing looks cool any chance I can get a link to his site?

As for Tethical seems really cool too bad the KS failed

Oh and just to clarify I'm not being demanding or anything I just want to see if this is possible, if its not I'll start with a smaller project and try to code something myself. (Try being the key word :P)
