The Battle System

Spoiler: Battle System Explanation

Unlike some RPGs, where you can just hammer the enter key to attack, you'll need to think a bit for our system. Nearly ALL skills are on cooldowns, you can't have the mage spam their best attack skill every turn; you'll need to use more than one skill every now and then.

Skill names can be in white (usable), red (needs X turns before you can use it again), or blue (need more EP/RP).

Also, since Tyrius and Dane are unable to use magic, we decided not to give them mana. Instead, they each have a unique way of using their skills. Anyone whose played WoW should feel right at home.

Tyrius, will use Energy, he starts at 100, and recovers a bit each turn. Tyrius should be using skills nearly every turn, and only attacking to recover energy.

Dane, is the opposite of Tyrius; he'll be attacking to fill his rage bar, and once it gets high enough, he can either use skills, or enter the berserk state. In theberserk state, Dane's attacks become much stronger, and have a chance to stun or cause the enemy to bleed.

I wasn't expecting much but this looks pretty good.

Keep it up.

Dane's hammer (?) takes a bit of the screen real estate. Major plus for using the RPG Palace's tile set. It so huge to set up I usually give up on it.

 

[The_Falcon]

Well, we call it a hammer, but NAMKCOR has brought to our attention it is, infact, a hammer-scythe; and if it didn't take up a lot of the screen, it wouldn't be awesome. :P

Alright, I'm just about finished the CMS, so I figure I'll show a screenshot now.

Tell me what you guys think of the design please.

 

[adelaidechoc]

Sweet! Your CMS looks good and neatly arranged. No complaint there, just praises.
However, It's hard see Dane's spirites. He looks lika a black spot/shadowy thing in that dark-blue menu.

And you've got nice story to begin with, good luck with these  :wink:

RP? What does that all mean!?

I can only assume "Rape Points" going by his battler graphic.

 

[Justice]

This looks pretty good but I'm not a big fan of high fantasy like elves etc. You seem to be dealing with it in a pretty realistic (wrong word - believable? You know way I mean) way though so you get my seal of approval!

 

[The_Falcon]

@adelaidechoc - Dane looks too dark? The sprite looks fine to me, maybe my monitor is too bright :P

@MISSINGNO - Well, we originally meant RP to be "Rage Points", but "Rape Points" sounds much better, so we'll stick with that.

@Justice - Thanks, nice to see some people read the story. ^^

Sorry for a necropost, but as Falcon has recently returned this project is off hiatus and back on track. Expect to see some updated screenshots and the like soon.

 

[The_Falcon]

Just thought I'd say again, we have resumed progress :P

Here's a screenshot of our new stealth system:

The orange tint of course won't appear in game, it's just to show the sight of the guards.

Also, it appears this thread is in the wrong forum, thanks to any mod that fixes this
