if possible i would suicide myself. But it's hard to say, VP was a not seamless only in your turn action rpg. A very innovative battle system, nothing to say about that, i loved it.

Let's hope

for those who said "WTF" to Vakyrie Profile

nothing better than someone linking to a youtbue video to show off a battle system and the first 3/4 of that video is just shitty dialog

I already have like three action games sketched in my head. Is that a little sad?

Only three? That's definitely sad. I have at least 15.

I would say I got like +49 projects that could be made on this maker pogram instead...

 

[Megalith]

it takes 3 sparks of a brain cell to make a action game. and rpg isnt so simple.

Have you seen the Projects forum here?

hahah you qoute like a republican. Please continue reading,it says 'well shouldnt be' (and wouldnt that be a reflection of the forum, for harboring newbs and losers?)How about you take a minute to stop flaming and finish the sentence.

I more curious to see if you can have a double jump. they come in handy. also, every platform has some kinda collectable, and im curious how that system will work.

better a republican than a dirty liberal.....

fuck liberals, all they do is take your money and spend it on people too lazy to get a job

Do you need an XNA premium account to play those games on your XBOX?

 

[GhostHost]

YAY!!! It looks awesome!! It also looks quite hard to use =/

Dunno yet. But you do need a Creator's Club account to port them to the Xbox.

There's a few programs where you can go, and you can make a platformer.
A lot of them suck, plane and simple.  Many in our li'l community don't like RPGs, it's just the best program that we know of to get what we want - when compared to others, for our needs and within our limitations.  The same crappy thing you get in the RM scene, you'll get in the platformer scene.

It's already there.
Go to the sites where hobbyists like you and me use these other programs, and you'll see it.  A shit load of boring and horrible go from point a to point b killing mindless goons.  If this has RGSS or any other type or program, it can be really initiative.  But it doesn't require those things, a lot of innovation was in the earlier RM's like 95 & 2k(3) - which had ONLY the databasing and event play.

If it's half as good as those, you'll see innovations (read: familiar gameplay that was innovative years ago when it first came out).

Looks awesome. I've had a few platform and adventure games in mind over the years. I haven't really thought of a straight shooter, but I've had a few ideas that involves traveling to various planets with a spaceship and then exploring them on foot. If I can combine various gameplay modes, then I may use the shooter application as well.

I wonder to what extent the game allows you to define the physics. It a major advantage if you for example can not only decide how high a character jumps, but also how fast that character will ascend and descend as well as how acceleration will work.

wat

it was for showing that the game is a platformer + a battle system

[Despain]

side-scrolling perspective != platformer

Real mature.

The video you linked though was terrible. I played VP myself, so you can't play that card on me. You should have chosen a video that goes right to the platforming/battle action if you wanted to demonstrate.

I was wondering about this too. Also in terms of "bounciness" and stuff. The physics of a platforming system have a huge effect on the general feel of the game, and if the physics are set-in-stone for each platform made with the program it will be annoying as hell.

Hopefully the gravity can be easily changed (especially for like different areas with anti-gravity, or fans and stuff that blow your character around).

Is it wrong that the first screenshot gave me an idea of a game about a  black guy have to race home with a KFC Bucket of Chicken? >_>

 

[Dark_linis]

funny I read this AFTER I set sail on my pirate ship looking for more action oriented engines

Hopefully this is more like the RPG maker series than the fighter maker series.
