A look into the battle mechanics and leveling system.

author=Red_Nova
Neat! I like games that try new character growth mechanics. Good luck!

Some questions:

What's the counter to 'roiding up one character and leaving the rest to rot, if any?

Come late-game, if the player realizes they've made a mistake in how they distributed stat items, is there any fallback plan for them? Or are they fully committed once an item has been given like Dark Souls? It's fine if that's the case, but it's important to at least be aware of that kind of situation.

If you don't get experience points to level up, then what purpose will random battle have? Money? I don't see on-map encounters or even battle screens in your images, so perhaps you don't have random battles at all?


EDIT: Also, this should probably have a Game Design label rather than Misc. That way, it would show up in the Game Design subforum and potentially attract more discussion.


Thank you for pointing that out I got the category fixed. As for the players who may make mistakes on characters stats and didn't get there characters the way they want, I have an option in the game to reset a party member's stats at any time for a fee and once a player does that they will get some stat increasing items back for free to re distribute them. And yes players can even do this if they didn't even bother to raise a single stat on any character, so if they didn't even bother they can still raise the character's stats anyway. I had that planned from the start actually ;)

As for the battles, all enemies can drop random items, it can be stuff like a potion or even one of the 8 stat increasing items or if you even luckier a + version of one of the 8 stat increasing items. And I do have plans to make money as useful as possible. Like I said you can buy stat increasing items, reset stats, etc there's more things you can do with money but I don't want to spoil everything.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it! :D

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!

Got it, I'll try to get to fixing my level as soon as I can!

Why do you make RM games?

Because its probably the only set of programs my mind can figure out lol. It's the programs that told me what I wanted to do in life, and that was become a game designer. Game design, has been my planned career since I was very young around 8 or 9. It's something I've always wanted to do, and Rpg maker helped me do that. And is keeping my passion going forward, yeah I know theirs unity and others but until I feel ready to tackle them I will always use RPG Maker.

Admitting Defeat - When A Videogame Breaks Your Spirit

I'm going to admit something here lol, Dark Souls 1 and 2 completely broke me down. I love me a challenge but Dark Souls 1 and 2 (especially 1) Utterly broke me, I can't even get past the first areas in neither. I just can't do it no matter how hard I try. But I say games are meant to be fun not make you feel like crap and be a chore. So I put them on my shelf and I never and I mean NEVER look at them I hate them that much! So don't feel bad lol. I can't even make it to the 1st boss in neither game.

So i finished Dead Island and i have a question (spoilers)

It was a poor example of trying to make a likable character so the player can get attached only for the character to get killed and be a sob fest and it flopped on its face. To be honest Dead Island's story is a load a garbage anyway, in my opinion.

Super Mario Enigmatic 2

I'm defiantly interested! Now that's its finished I'm defiantly download this when I can get the time!

Nintendo 3DS MEGATHREAD

I've been recently getting into some RPGS on the 3DS, SMT 4 is amazing, and Soul Hackers is also great. Has anyone played Apocalypse? If so can you tell me how it is? I've been debating if I want to spend $50 on it or not. And is Dragon Quest 7 a good port?

Lets talk about Yokai Watch

So recently the 2nd yokai watch game came out, and I still honestly don't see the hate for this game series. Its nothing I repeat NOTHING, like pokemon, just because you go around collecting weird spirit like things doesn't make it a pokemon rip off, hell by that logic, then your calling Shin Megami Tensei games (which came before pokemon) a ripoff of pokemon. But anyway I digress, I personally love these games, and the 2nd one from what I've played so far is really good. A lot of people complain that the battle system lacks depth, well they didn't play long enough to use the model zero watch in 2, or even thought about what nature to make your yokai or unity bonuses. I get that it can get repetitive but when it comes down to boss fights it excels. The online stuff is cool and all, but I haven't managed to find anyone to battle yet, maybe that's because its a fresh new game and haven't had time for people to get online. The story in the first one was a mess and really wasn't good at all, but the 2nd one has a promising story so far..

Anyway what's your opinion on this little game series that for some reason gets no love except from the fans?

Game Page Workshop

As cool as this event is, I probably won't sign up, I have no clue how CSS works at all....

Stage List

Lol didn't mean to annoy anyone, I have no memory at all anymore lol and it doesn't help that I never got any chances to dig through the event page to find anything neither. I've been all over the place lately I had to put one game I was working on hiatus till I can get well organized again. Sorry for the headaches lol, thank you for pointing out all the pages and feedback there was though! and if I usually post later in the event that has nothing to do with feedback, chances are I never got to see it lol. I'll try to fix my level as soon as I possibly can but it may be slow. Recently got a job that eats all of my time for the most part, I barely get time to stay on my computer anymore let alone dig make levels and games. Sorry once again!
