ZRIFFZ'S PROFILE

Okay, thanks for letting me know I was being vague, I sometimes don't realize I'm not giving enough info.

So, basically, the technology should be present day, if not, slightly a few years earlier. Just normal modern day technology. The room area, is a constant area separate from the actual world you roam. The room, I want to be just a dark room with a window and a bed and a door. Standard room, just a little dark, with more grey colors.

Now the outside worlds. I want it to be a standard bright, area. What I meant by a hint of LSD was, add some effects in that make it seem like a dream. I think I'll actually edit this part myself. I was thinking water animated strange multicolored tiles as opposed to normal water. Anyways the outside area, includes standard suburban areas with a bright and diverse colors. With the addition of some urban areas as well with slightly more monochromatic colors. I also need good indoor areas that match with the other chipsets. This one being separate from the room. Everything indoors pretty standard.

Now, the theme I'm trying to go for is make the world outside the room seem more and more like a dream. I'm planning multiple scripted playthroughs, and each making the tileset more dream like. So the tilesets would start to have more vibrant colors, and random objects will have colors and patterns that don't quite make sense.

I hope this clears things up. If more is detail is needed, let me know.

There is this other battle system I was contemplating, that might work better within the system. I was thinking of having it a bit turn based, where you would input different combo strings (amount of chains based on level) and you're character will do every separate move in one motion just as the opponent is. Now the trick here is that certain strings wouldn't chain properly together so one would have to figure out what works and what doesn't. Say you hit on your first attack, i it doesn't properly knock the opponent up it doesn't string together, it still may hit, but that is if the opponent didn't input a block. Would that kind of system be more ideal? i think i've seen it somewhere before, i just can't remember it.

edit: also, what language was that tales of style battle system?

Well, I want to do some changing to RPG Maker Battle system. What i'm requesting is, what I need to learn, possibly where I can learn it and etc.
So I'm terribly new to coding so this may take me several months to pull off, but what I want to do is make it so that, when you have an encounter, there will only be specific encounters in my game) instead of having an RPG style turn-based battle, I want to have a Fighting Game style Battle instead. If something like this has been done, then it'd be nice to show me, if not then I'm just asking for what to learn, and where to learn to pull this off. I mean I'm pretty sure others have changed the battle system up before, and even added some other things into the engine, so I'm pretty confident that, with a lot of dedicated time and effort I'd be able to pull this off.

To be honest I don't know if this thread belongs in here or the help thread...
The purpose of this thread is to discuss how one could achieve Deus Ex style social interactions. I am testing this in RPG maker 2003. I don't know if this works in the more recent version.

Well to be more specific, I've only played Human Revolution, and so I don't know if it applies to the previous games, so I'm really talking about Deus Ex Human Revolution style social Interactions. For those of you who didn't play that game I suppose you could look it up on youtube. It's basically a kind of persuasion system to get information or to cause certain things to happen. Actually here's a nice example, for those playing this game be warned of spoilers this is one that is much more late in the game. I chose it because it shows one that matters between life and death. Here.

My attempt at this is to work with variables for persuasion levels(look at a youtube video for DXHR with the CASIE aug). It all works out in theory, making different choices subtract or add in the values of a variable. To be honest I think I'm having a tough time explaining it words so I'll give you a little attempt at it. It's something I conjured up in about an hour or so.
Test
Try playtesting that. What I also want you to do is to look at the events and maybe fiddle around with them. See if you can spot any flaws or even better methods. Share your insights.

Okay here's the deal. I don't want to focus too much on the grinding aspect in my rpg, and remove the need to train. What I'm trying to attempt here is mainly puzzles, and "dungeons" for important items required to battle monsters. Now what I intend on doing is, have specific bosses that dish out terrible status ailments that can be protected against by gaining said items from "dungeons". The problem here is that I don't have any clue on creating status ailments. For example in one instance I want a boss to come out of an acid pool. A basilisk. And it will have a special move that petrifies you. The status will be called petrified, and it works like being frozen, you can't make a move for several turns. This would only be prevented by gaining the mirror specs item. Now I could just make it so that you get frozen. But say there's a boss that actually freezes you, you'd be able to use the mirror specs for that boss and not get frozen an bypass any "dungeon" questing. So would any of you know how to create a status ailment?
