/rpgmg/ - RPG Maker General #175

Let me start us off with an inquiry related to MV.

How would I go about setting up a common event that'd make a sound effect every time Party recieves an item?

Even better would be if a small window could pop up to notify the party of recieving an item.

Is it possible?

>>161096272
Personally, I'd just make a common event for it, then call it in every event that gives the party an item.

If you want it to be automatic, though, you'd probably need to edit the code. First set up a common event that runs when a certain switch is turned on, have it play the sound effect and whatever else you want, then turn the switch off. Then, you'd have to find where RPG Maker handles adding items to the inventory and add a line to that turns the switch on. Or maybe you could just have the item-adding code call the common event directly, and not bother with switches.

That's just a guess, though. I'm not very experienced with Javascript (or MV, really), so I'm not sure if that would actually work.

Humble Bundle #2 in the DLC pastebin has been taken down, any idea when there'll be a reupload? Thank you!

So, collab game. It's been over 6 months since Bubbles 'took over.' How long before someone else gets a shot? How long before we start a new one? What engine should it run in?

>>161096905

Too complex for me. I'll just have to pay mind and put down text when party is recieving something from events.

I'm currently banging my head against the wall. Trying to make stairs that go down which look natural seems impossible.

Repostan from last thread:

I've been thinking of making a short romance RPG (not a dating sim, but an RPG with a romance plot) that would maybe be like 2-3 towns and 2-3 dungeons long. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in playing it.

The general plot would be that the main character is the young adult son of a wealthy aristocratic family, and his father insists that he's going to have his son undergo an arranged marriage for political/financial reasons. The main character (the son) refuses to have an arranged marriage, even before he's met the woman, and wants to find his own love in life.

But he is forced by his father to have a meeting with his wife-to-be and her father. She walks into the room, only for the main character to find out she's a little girl, only about half his age. Stunned by this, he is even more reluctant to marry her, and even walks out on the meeting, screaming that her refuses to marry such a girl just for his father's political and financial gain.

He ends up being followed by the girl, who is very shy, but they end up chatting anyway. She doesn't want to go through with the marriage either, but she doesn't think she can stop them, as her father is a very powerful man.

But then something happens (I haven't yet figured out what) that causes the guy and girl to end up fleeing the castle together, and go on a journey to save his father from her father, who plans to kill him if they do not get married because of... some reason I haven't figured out yet.

And on this journey, they will slowly begin to connect with each other, and maybe a very unlikely and controversial, but consensual romance will blossom.

Would you play this?

>>161098112
Someone else should definitely take over. Contrary to our projects the collab should be finished one day.

>>161099613
Since there's always the possibility that I could suddenly die and someone might think to look through my hard drive... no.

>>161099613
I'll play every game from here.
You need to have good writing skills if you want to have people enjoy this, however.

>>161101724
Not that anon, but why the fuck you care about what happens after you are dead?

>>161103016
Not that anon, but before you die, you can think about what could happen after your death and what could people find out about you, which may be worrisome while you're alive.

>>161099613

It's not a bad plot(although a little generic, in my opinion), but if I were you, I'd either make the girl to be the same age as the main hero(or a few years younger) or ditch the whole romance idea and go for more brother-sister relationship. The idea of romance between characters with such a big age gap is not only awkward for most people(myself included) but also very easy to fuck up.

>Would you play this?

Maybe? Personally, I don't like romance stories, but if the game's well written and has noticeable quality, then why not?

>>161110115
Not him but I think a romance can work. Léon: The Professional was very well received and it had a very large age gap.

>>161099613
I personally try to not include romance at all.
Everyone have different perception of believeable romance because of cultures and stuffs.

On that note, JRPG often has character hiding something important to the plot and he possibly can prevent something from happening but never speak about it nor anyone in the party asks because it would bother him. Guess what? This is actually considered normal in Japan. This is strange in western culture because we do not have the Japanese mindset of "Do not bother anyone almost at all cost" and they plant this mindset since elementary school.

>>161102625
>I'll play every game from here.
Same here. I admit the age difference makes me hesitant, but as long as it's not porn and the girl has at least hit puberty, I'm sure I've read and enjoyed far worse.

But I'll give it a try regardless. A well-written romance can be pretty good, though that's easier said than done.

>>161117224
Well, I started to work on re(rerererere)doing the Inventory and Equipment system for muh game a few days ago. I came up with the solid concept yet when trying to incorporate it, I hit a hard wall and concluded it made no sense at all. I haven't touched my game since, and was going to write message much like this for you.

Instead, when I opened up my project to properly explain my stupidity, I realized that what I had tried wasn't actually following the concept, and in just a few lines, I began the rock solid system exactly as I intended.

So thank you, anon. In my bitterness, your post is directly responsible for fixing my shit and continuing my progress.

As for what this actually does: It is replacing my old equip/unequip Common Events. Both equipping and unequipping are now run through one event, the Equipper, while the Item Master List will now return all relevant stats and modifiers for a given equipment. While their interrelationship is about the same as the old equip/unequip events, the Item Master List can be run without physically changing anything, which I can use to display items and their information in shops or a paper doll/physical inventory. The new system also allows me to equip NPCs with gear without interacting with the Inventory itself, meaning equipping and unequipping an enemy no longer produces/takes an item from the player's inventory. Lastly, and most importantly, for character creation (whether generating an enemy or a party member), all I need to do is list the names of what that NPC is wearing and run it once, and it will adjust all the stats accordingly. Before, I had to declare every single weapon/armor stat individually upon creation to imitate in-game weapons/armors for enemies, and for player NPCs I had to rerun the Equip/Unequip events for each piece of armor or weapon they would be wearing. Now it's one run for either.

Fucking beautiful.

The most likely culprit is a copied or higher page sneaking under radar.

To assist in bug-fixing your shit, try putting a Show Text command before and after the new and updated Transfer Player command. The text can say whatever you want, but make them different.

Then when you test it, if you don't see the two textboxes, you know there's another transfer player command giving you problems. If you do see the two textboxes, and yet you aren't transferred to the right place by the transfer command between them, you have sufficient reason to marvel. Then go check that there isn't an additional transfer player command on the new, different map that is taking you back.

There aren't many right now, I'm only just starting to put them in, they're based on RPG classes and some environmental things around the first area. Grass Slime, Rock Slime, Flower Slime. There's also a Warrior, Mage and Priest Slime.

I have ideas for others, but as I'm planning on implementing a LOT of them, extra input is extremely valuable.

Hah, cute.

A question for someone that used rpgmaker (especially mv), where is stored the value for walking speed? i know that some games let you choose in the option so if the value is in some file i would be able to change it.

>>161148090
You can use a common event that is always running to change speed

>>161148090
No idea where exactly it's stored, but I think using the "Change Speed" setting within the "Set Movement Route" event command will let you change it

>>161148171

>>161147461
You could always look at taking inspiration from DragonQuest.

http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/Slime_family

Scroll past the initial CGI pictures to get to the more traditional art ones.

But if you've got some based on the environment (Grass, rock, flower) why not animals, too? Wolf Slime, Bunny Slime, Moose Slime, etc.

Other ideas might be a Double Slime, which would be like a Siamese twin of sorts? Never quite finished dividing? (I assume they divide). Or a Melted Slime, similar to the DQ Babble.

Spiked Slime, Punch Slime, Scorpion Slime, Winged Slime, Beauty Slime, Giant Slime, Mini Slime, Fire/Ice/Electric/etc Slime

I think I'm out of ideas, but hopefully something in here resonates with you!

>>161177157
Is it any good?

>>161177967
It's one of my most favorite games, its from the devs that made the Disgaea games.
If you can emulate PS2 games you should check it out.

Trying to create a routine for an NPC is difficult.
I know events aren't NPCs, but I'm really hoping that one event per room and a parallel common event can give the impression they are by determining which should be active at this time of day and what it should be doing.

The only problem once I've got that is that this NPC has the same routine all day.

Starts work at 9, takes a break between 10:30 and 11, takes another break at 1, etc.

I wonder if I could cheat this somehow, add some RNG to the routines so he might go a few minutes under and over.

Anybody else trying to fake NPC schedules?

>>161177841
This is good, man. Don't be afraid to put time into scenes like this. Getting scripting worked out is important and if you let yourself have a little script sandbox now and again you can really come up with some great stuff to use elsewhere.

>Scripting a simple dialogue

They say we admire characters more for their efforts than for their successes. What does your hero fail at? Do they get a second chance? Are they stuck living with their shortcoming/failure and just trying to move on? Do they grow as a person from this, or do they give up?

>>161181132
I'm creating a repeatable 20 minute game.

The hero can fail at many things, but it's entirely dependent on player choices.

If they fuck things up, they only need to get through until the end of the day, see what their choices determine for the character.

Use proper version control bro. Programs like Git are smart enough to only back up things that have actually changed.

Mayhap an odd question, but how do you lot define your message windows? Do you use stretched across the length of the screen option, or do you maybe use Yanfly's Message Core's addon to make the width equal to size of the message? Which'd be better liked?

Goblin King's Pass is off-limits to humans.

There any decent fanmade hairstyles to add to the generator?

I've always been kind of tempted to try my hand at making a short-ish RPG (well, start short anyway. Aim low), but I've been torn on if I should really be giving MV or a try, or stick with VX Ace or whatever.

Since I did buy a copy of Ace forever ago. Is MV like 'better', or is it just more accessible or easy to use?

I kind of want to make a lewd game, with erm. Ahem. Lewd mechanics. Which would involve some limited scripting, at least I think, so I can make HP not result in defeat in battle exactly but er...

MV or Ace VX?

>>161209562
>Lewd game
You have my utmost attention.

Some people have performance issues with MV but writing scripts for it should be easier than for Ace.
Best would be to try both out.

>>161206837
The goblin king can suck a dick

>>161209562
MV is written in Javascript, which means:
>More portable, since anything that can render a webpage can play the games
>More flexible scripting - a lot of the "core" stuff (window resolution, etc.) in VXAce was permanent, while everything can be changed in Mv
>Noticeably slower in some areas

I like MV a lot. My favorite changes from VXA:
>An extra map layer (you can have 2 B-E tile graphics on a square instead of just one)
>bigger tiles (48x48 instead of 32x32)
>The editor is a *little* more flexible - you can define your own equipment slots, for instance

Will we ever see a steam release of RPG Maker 95, updated to work on modern processors?

>>161210215
>Noticeably slower in some areas
Which areas specifically? I'm new and I'm trying to decide between VXA vs MV.

>>161211038
Biggest thing that comes to mind is that it takes like 2 seconds for new songs to load sometimes. Very annoying when I'm trying to set up musical stings at dramatic moments.

>>161211094
That sucks. Isn't there any way to preload it so you can play it without delay?

Also, has anyone noticed any slowdowns during battle in MV?

>>161210069
I don't know a lot about scripting, to be honest. I only had some Visual Basic in a college class once. So MV might be a bit easier then...

Also if you've played Succubus Quest or Succubus Rhapsodia that's what I wanna go for.

>>161210215
That does seem pretty nice. So er, if I use the nice version provided here, is there anyway people might, say, notice it was made with a totally-not-bought copy?

Not that I'd sell it, but you know.

>>161209562
>make HP not result in defeat in battle
I think you can actually do this without scripting. You'd have to use event commands to trigger battles rather than the default random encounter system, but when you do, there's an option for defeat to lead to a branch in the event rather than ending the game like usual.

>>161212420
I'll need to try and figure that out. I technically have a reference from another game, but its all in Japanese, and trying to figure out what they did is tricky as a result of that.

I basically just need to find a way to when HP runs out, MP is taken up from the result, and if enough MP remains, their HP should refill and the fight continues...

I mean, I guess, the easiest way might be if I just made stuff hurt MP and if MP ran out, then HP got reduced instead, then MP was filled but...

>>161211375
>if I use the nice version provided here, is there anyway people might, say, notice it was made with a totally-not-bought copy?
I'm not an expert on this, but apparently there's a way to tell if a game was made with a pirated copy of RPG Maker. I've wondered if that's just a bluff to encourage people to buy it, since only people involved with the company seem to know how, but I wouldn't risk it anyway. I'm guessing it hides a product key in the data or something.

I've heard you can make your project with a pirated copy then save the final version with a legitimate copy and nobody will know the difference, though. Alternatively, just avoid official forums and share it on places like this thread, where nobody will know or care.

Not RPG Maker related at all but I enjoy this game.
It's research I swear.

Kinda stumped as to where my story should go next. The party finally manages to scale the mountain, in order to recharge the magical orb of sunlight. But I don't know how I want the story to go from here. Right now as a placeholder I have a little cutscene at the top of the mountain where the party realizes they forgot to bring the orb.

I'm currently leaning toward "main character's mentor, who everyone thought was dead, shows up and demands the party give him the orb" or something like that.

I want to make status effect possible on bosses but with less duration.
Any idea how to do this?

>>161216813
>to recharge the magical orb of sunlight
So why did they charge it in the first place?
What does it do?

>>161217520
It lets the local area grow crops even in the dead of winter. The party has to go recharge it because the mage managed to accidentally break it.

>>161217430
Anything is possible with scripting. Of the top of my head, you could make a script that checks to see if there's a special flag on a monster whenever a status effect gets applied to it. If so, cut some time off the duration.

>>161217430
Make 2 identical statuses, but one of them has less duration.
Simply check if the boss is inflicted with the status in the battle events.
Then remove the status and instead inflict the other one.
Make the 2nd status always nullify the first via traits in case you try to apply it again when boss is already inflicted

>>161209562
Start making a working simple RPG just to understand how to balance everything like I am doing.
I started my first project only to see how to balance enemies based on 2003 level system, then in another one, I started making use of equipment and everything a regular RPG needs. Next project will probably be in MV, and it will be probably the one that resembles an unique game

Too close to home

So I'm thinking of making a game with gun based combat. The way I'm thinking of making it work is:

You have luck points instead of hit points, basically if you're unlucky you get shot its game over. Though I'm considering requiring multiple (but a low number) of hits to kill you. Luck will work somewhat like an evasion thing, the less luck you have the more likely a lethal shot will get you.

Besides just being lucky there will be other ways to lessen your chance of being shot. Namely distance and cover.
Distance will require a stronger roll against your luck to hit, and attacks will effect your luck less at further distances. The enemy can move forward to close the distance, and you can do the same. Melee will require close distance and is extremely lethal to both parties
Cover will also do the same as above, but with a chance that the cover is hit instead of you. You can flush or be flushed out of cover. You'll need to have so much distance before being able to dive into cover

Besides keeping an eye on your luck there will be gear that can save you from lethal shots, body armor and the like.

Actually while typing this I've thought, maybe alcohol (its a noire game, you can't not be sloshed) can give some temporary extra hits before going down.

Anyways thoughts?

sup lads,

I'm trying to come up with a little mini game for 'hacking' a computer (like a puzzle that will reveal the password or something).

It's not the main focus of my game, just something I'd like to add in to make the player feel like they worked for an easter egg.

Any ideas? Number puzzles?

>>161220338
>Luck points instead of hitpoints
I think there are a few RPG systems that do this already, where HP can be anything from luck to stamina depending on the situation, just as an abstract representation of how close to death you are from x or y.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Star Wars d6 (I think, it's been a while since I was /tg/)

Probably a good idea to check out how others do it, might help solidify your mechanics if you can reverse engineer to find problems they've maybe already solved.

Overall sounds good, anon- post progress when it comes.

>>161220338
It sounds very interesting, do you have any concept art of what a battle could look like?

>>161220489
You can't do anything wrong with a nice number puzzle.

Not done yet. I've only just finished two scenarios, with another 3 or 4 in half stages.

It's going to take a few weeks because it's all original art, music, sound etc. Aim is to make it not look like an RPGMaker game as much as poissible.

I really do want to share updates though, waiting for us to get organised and make an OP image like AGDG have for jams

>>161211607
If you don't mind, I would like to presenet a few more ideas before I forget them:

Monoeye Slime - Has a fine eye for details, allowing it to scan the enemies for stats, abilities, and eventually, even thoughts (what will the opponent do next)
Cocktail Slime - Makes good use of consumables, can mix them in its body to create more potent consumables, sometimes with special effects added.
Aroma Slime - It can smell in a variety of flavors for different effects, its body changes color with different flavors. Can acquire new flavor by encountering them.
Crystal Slime - Can switch between a solid, defensive and a liquid, speedy form.
Prism Slime - Utilizes light-based attacks with a multitude of additional effects.

Manually. There weren't that many thankfully.
I mean, how often in believable dialogue do you actually use somebody's name when it's just you two in the room

I wanted to make a specific set of enemies in random encounters to not appear again if a variable is greater than a certain value.
Is it possible without having to make 2 identical maps?

I thought to make a common event instead of using the standard encounters method, but I am not sure how to randomize it like the game does instead of always making the same exact number of steps.
Steps until Encoutner in this map are 48, how much variance there is in the standard encounters? I can reproduce it as long I know this.

>>161222165
demo then? synopsis at least?

I don't know if I should ask for this here, in /agdg/ or somewhere else, but I haven't found online Baldur's Gate (or any Infinity Engine game - Planescape, IWD) or Temple of Elemental Evil rips, specially character sheets. Only thing I find is the pre rendered scenarios.

Any help on where to find or how to rip?

>>161225084
I'm 2 weeks in, at this pace another 3 weeks until demo.

90s office setting (unless a good scenario has need of more modern tech and can't be worked around)

Gameplay involves creeping around being an industrial strength pervert at work. Game lasts about 25 minutes, but 60(+counting) values are determined on startup change up most things.

You go through a work day timetable with work to do, interactions with co-workers and needs to manage.

Saying or doing creeper stuff around others will raise suspicion of you in the event something perverted happens, which may result in you getting fired or arrested, so there's an optional stealth element to avoid detection for those who are turned on by getting away with it.

I won't list the things you can do as they're 2lewd4blueboards

What's the best way to start a story?

>>161227627
No such thing. You're going to have to be more specific if you want meaningful answers.

>>161227627
With a battle in the first 5 minutes.

>>161227627
If you are talking about the game's plot, then what >>161229509 said.

If you are talking about the game itself, it's always a good idea to keep things interesting from the very beginning.
So you may want to quickly throw players against the tutorial boss or inside a very short dungeon -- in the second case, you may make a short intro later just to explain how the playable character ended up there.

Thank you. I'll do just that.
Tutorial boss like Dark Souls 3

Is it possible to make instantaneous movement(like a rougelike) in MV?

As in, instead of the sprite sliding into a new tile it just instantly appears on it when you press left.

He lost in the end though.

Why is so much of MV's RTP music utter garbage?

>>161224526
I wanna say the variance works by rolling a number between 1 and 2*variance and deciding the next encounter will be in that many steps.
So if your variance is 48, your next encounter is in 1 to 96 steps.

>>161237738
Yeah, they aren't too good, but at least this one is really great for boss fights

For music, try checking out royalty-free sites.
There's one (audioblocks) that I found the other day, where you pay a subscription to them for access to stuff you are free to use, even commercially. If you hover over any track you can play it in its entirety.

So what I did was run Audacity and a cable from the PC speaker output to the microphone input, set the levels way down to avoid distortion and rip the pieces I wanted that way.

Apart from the luck points, your game reminds me remarkably of Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, which is the primary inspiration of my own game. In 40k: RT, everyone essentially has 1 HP, and all your stats, position, cover, bodyarmor, etc. influences your chances of a shot taking that 1 HP or missing, being saved, etc.

Heck, even your picture reminds me of their battle sketches. Look at this.

I wouldn't go for a Kickstarter unless you know exactly what you're doing and know you can meet deadlines. People seem to be getting more cynical about crowdfunding due to broken promises and duds, so you might not get enough donations unless you can churn out the product.

Kinda, I guess. Funny enough, I actually like the idea of the shield failing to equip if there's a 2H weapon, but then have a 2H weapon unequip a shield when putting it on.

Crap. Those assets are really good for something you "just started." I'm at a little over 100 hours now and I don't have a single visual asset done. Good on you.

Do you guys make the "skeleton" of your game first and then polish it a while later?
I usually polish immediately so my game doesn't really have much content.

Same here. At least I have nearly one third of the first draft of the storyboard done.

>>161285329
Sort of. I like to establish all of my "systems" first, then rework them when adding complexities, then making them more efficient once they've stabilized, and then leave wiggle room for minor changes once I start working of content.

So for my game, I made an sRPG combat system first. Then I reworked it when I added stats and a damage formula to it. Then I reworked it again when I added weapon types. Then I made an inventory system for those weapons. Then I made a way of seeing/checking Line of Sight for ranged weapons. Then I reworked the main sRPG system to cut its length down to 1/4 it's former size, reusing a lot of parts for the player and enemy AI both, when integrating ranged weapons and LoS. Finally, I redid the inventory system to pave the way for shops and a way to display the inventory and stats (which I'll work on next).

I still haven't even started content yet, although it's almost ready for it. Once shops and displayed inventory are up, I can replace all my Test Items with real items and start building up a list of the various weapons and armors.

>>161210696

Depends on where you want to go with your story. If you want a typical "and then the heroes save the world" then have them overhear a conversation they weren't meant to hear? Or perhaps see an army marching from one nation toward their hometown?

Today's Problem # 2:

What should the major difference be between thrown weapons and a bow? Why use one over the other?

This is for my sRPG, so try to think of it from the perspective of FE or Advance Wars or something.

Particularly, I'm comparing throwing knives [Weapon Skill: Throw], javelins [Weapon Skill: Throw], and a bow [Weapon Skill: Bow]. At first, I thought about making throw weapons do more damage (hit by a big javelin) but shorter range than a bow. However, I poked around and saw people could throw javelins 140 meters gg no re and decided range isn't going to be an issue. I thought about attacks being locked at 1 for a bow, like the crossbow, while throw weapons can be thrown equal to half your normal number of melee attacks. That doesn't work either as lighter bows can often be fired faster than a man can throw a javelin or even a knife.

As it is, bows and thrown weapons have the same functionality, all the way down to stunning whomever they hit. Anyone have any ideas that might set the two categories further apart? Try to acknowledge the fact that the combat is meant to encompass true war techniques (a phalanx-type soldier might throw a javelin before the enemy reaches range of his spear/sword) and also a common street fight (some punk thief might throw a knife in his escape from a tavern).

>>161210696
I'm not sure why I want this, but I do. I've never even played a 95 game, let alone used the engine for more than 5 minutes.

20KB, 220x362px

>>161287879
If I can't come up with anything, bows and throw weapons will maintain the same general functionality and I'll introduce variance by the specific items within those categories (knives will have shorter range than javelins and bows, heavy javelins will do more damage than bows and throwing knives, etc.) and they'll all only attack once a turn, no matter how high your Combat Skill is.

Oh, and presently you can equip a shield with a throwing weapon but not a bow. That's something, at least.

>>161287879
Maybe have thrown weapons ricochet and do aoe damage?

>>161288394
>in a Glancing Armor Save, the thrown weapon may glance off to the side into another enemy
Heck, it could work. I definitely have the ability to. However, could the same not be said for any missile, including bolts and arrows?

>>161288518
Have the arrows break on impact

>>161288259
I'm sure that bows/crossbows pierce through armor much easier than a knife. Handling throwing knifes is pretty darn difficult, too.
One thing is the amount of ammunition. You can carry a lot of arrows/bolts but only a few javelins/throwing axes. Do you have some sort of weight/carry limit?

>>161288518
I can see you missing one guy with a released arrow/bolt only to hit someone behind him (maybe even a friend). But ricocheting to the sides would be really strange.

Are you using custom battle system or default?

>But ricocheting to the sides would be really strange.
I was thinking one space back and to the side, or maybe just directly behind. Still not totally huge on that though.

>I'm sure that bows/crossbows pierce through armor much easier than a knife.
That's what my reference friend just said, as well as agreeing that throw weapons like javs, knives, and rocks can easily be used in melee as well.

I don't really want to give arrows Armor Punch though. Agincourt is a prime example of how even the strongest English longbows cannot pierce proper plate, even on a direct hit.

>ammunition
That's what I've been leaning towards as well. I think I could do it. Add $equip.count as another weapon trait, I'm just considering the difference between a dedicated javeliner who could be carrying a whole quiver of javs versus a greek who might have 3 at most before returning to his spear. Same with a slinger versus a guy who just scooped up a cool rock on his way to war.

There is an encumbrance system, which influences how easily you are hit by an enemy and how far you can move. But how many knives does it take to equal one tower shield in encumbrance? I don't think the Enc penalty is sufficient to convince someone to take only 3 knives versus 20, and, as it says in Rogue Trader (muh inspiration):
>although clearly of limited quantity, one can assume a soldier has taken enough grenades to last the battle.
I think the same principal applies for crossbows, bows, and throwing knives. A typical battle is only 7-12 turns, so any more than that is just redundant. And even if it doesn't apply for javelins, is it worth programming in and playing with an additional management system, which still doesn't set all of throwing weapons apart from bows?

>>161290606
I made a custom sRPG system inspired by Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader (1E) from scratch.

>>161290606
Default battle system with a couple tweaks:

>Battle menu just shows skills directly instead of the Attack/Skills/Guard/Items commands
>MP removed - since all the mages can do is cast spells, they shouldn't ever run out of magic
>Emphasis on buffs, debuffs, and stance/mode switching (to support this I extended the status effects bar on the battle status screen from showing 2 status icons to showing 6)

In the time before the Flood, when angels and humans were free to intermingle, some angels called themselves gods and shaped the world in the God's (Yahuweh) supposed absence, such as creating the pocket world of Sinsheim. Fight their creations and carve an empire out of Sinsheim with sRPG combat.

That's the premise, at least. The players will probably never know a thing about the first sentence.

Once I figure out how to make the battle system work right.

>>161294541

Newbies that just joined one of lesser known adventuring guilds go about doing simple quests until they stumble on something out of their depth.

On a separate note, do you fellows muck around with spell formulas much? I switched mine up a touch, giving fire a flat damage boost(+100 to base), gave Ice the basic damage(Plus a chance to inflict freeze state that is insta kill if someone smashes you with a physical attack), gave Wind a crit chance and damage inbetween the previous two. Thinking I'll add Earth next and have it do 2nd best damage, but it will have next to no variance and will have a chance to inflict dazed state.

What do you think? Also, has anyone here had issues with setting up rows via yanfly's system? I set it up, but I cant seem to limit my front row to only hitting the front row. No matter what I do, I continue to be able to pick targets in other rows

>>161298229
I'd be interested in hearing more about your progress on that as you keep working, if you're the one with the HP/MP damage idea from earlier. I tried making a similar system once, but lost motivation (and my confidence in the idea) partway through.

>>161297757

Personally, I'd love to see the option for a female protagonist, but I'd recommend sticking with one gender for now.

It's better to keep things simple until you figure out what you want to do, how to do it, and get the hang of actually doing it. Part of the reason I was put off continuing my similar project was that I was expecting too much of myself, I think; dynamic "battles" involving multiple characters and random text descriptions for every action that varied based on the characters and situation involved. Then I found that even implementing the skeleton of a system like that was harder than it looked.

I am getting a lot slower recently.
It took me 3 days to do 2 maps, and the 2nd one is still only a skeleton, without any details yet.
Time ago, I used to do at least 2 different dungeons and 1 boss per day.

Have you got some interesting dungeon gimmicks? So far I have
>dungeon that requires you to simply find 3 keys between treasure cheats in each floor
>warp points maze
>splitting party in 3 groups
>4-parts dungeon that can be done in every order, it requires you to defeat 4 bosses

planning to add
>dungeon that warps you at the beginning if you pick wrong exit/fuck up a certain event

I thought of something on my way to college. It'll be a several tier dungeon with a few puzzles and hidden treasures. The last boss will be the subject of an event where it'll be extra hard to kill by the player at that point, prompting three developments.
A) Either player kills it, for which party will be suitably rewarded.
B) Player loses. Game Over.
C) Player was paying attention when the mentor figure mentioned earlier in the game that at least someone in the party ought have rings they got when they joined the guild on them. If they do, losing the battle triggers a cutscene where mentor arrives to bail you out.
D)Possibly as above, with mentor arriving after party kills the boss.

Each would have different conversations that follow, giving it a sense of uniqueness.
