Genesis Saga

REAPZ!!!! NOOOOO, Rich you must defend yourself...like I was saying people updates updates, we decided to go with an ATB for our battle system based off a value you known as Stamina, basically, you attack as much as you want, cycling between characters with L and R, but when everyone runs low on the good stuff no one will be able to move!!! Which is why you must plan accordingly, and have alot of energy drinks with you...
NOTE:This is Fomar's ACCB(Action Cost Custom Battle), but we've hacked and slashed it to bits enough to call the SOCBS(Stamina Oriented Custom Battle)but for the base credits to fomar ^^
 
It's just that, some things you want are Cronno TRIGGER, but this CBS is just like Cronno CROSS... it's very hard for you to stay away from games when they have two of it...
 
-_- let further discussion commence on the team forums, don't want to be crowding, making a topic for it as we go, I'm also heading to youtube to watch a vid of it.
 
lol. well its hard to be original old chap :D

but good luck with that system. Personally i dont like it as it makes the battles slow down as you play each one. I like slow battles that speed up so this is the opersit for me. but im sure many people like the system you are going for
 
Um...what? The demo I sent you is not the one we're using, we're studying that one, and making our own, so It's pretty hard to know how my CBS runs when you never played it :P

sorry I thought you was telling me that it starts off fast :S and ends slow (unless you have energy drinks)
 
Nah infact we're going to keep the BS, but merge it with Grandia II's to give it a subtle spice that is well needed, players will have icons soaring up the action bar on the right side of the screen, when your icon hits the top bam, it's command selecting time, you can attack the day away, or Cross Cut yourself to death, but think smart, using all of your stamina up will result in an all natural beating, for when a player runs low on stamina, their icon drops down to a blue portion of the action bar known as the "Fatigue Zone" Where you can't do anything, until you recover enough stamina.
 
XD Fomar's I think, but that was a min ago, we got our real CBS planned now which will break down like this:
THE SOCB(Stamina Oriented Custom Battle):
Characters all start with their Icons at the bottom of the Action bar located on the right of the screen, and must wait until either their icon hits the top, or the enemies, when an enemies hits the top it's attacking the hero time, when the hero's hits the top, if you're not them there face will stay there, but only for a limited time, then they willwarp to the bottom of the bar and go up it again, you cycle between characters with L and R, but can only act if your icon on the action bar is at the top, once it is, the Chrono Cross system comes into play, with you attacking and draining stamina and such, but what happens when you run out on stamina? You Icon drops to the lowest point on the Action Bar, in what's called the Blue Zone Where the player moves very sluggish and such. until they recover their Stamina, if you actually do the wise thing and conserve your Stamina, after you switch characters, the person you just fought with icon warps to the bottom and begins the long climb upwards once again. Heh it's kind of unique no?
 
Gman... with that as the brief for the battle system you will come across all sorts of issues, Look at my topic and see my battle system brief. do something like that.

means you get EVERYTHING you want. I tried it with linkin_T like you are doing and we just kept hitting brick walls lol

I like the sound of the system apart from stamina but thats just me :D

I admit it does make it alot more tactical :D
 
Nah I was just giving the users something to read, it's already in beta form, with the bar and such, we worked it out over im, but it did take a few hours for me to get it across. so there's nothing else I really have to cover, and sorry but the stamina must stay...with me.
anyways people here's a poem from our new writer Jarelk, a poem he just wrote up for me:
Spirits on a restless plain
Guided by an endless pain
Eternal rest has not been found
Their souls are locked to the ground

The foolish cannot accept their fate
They are clouded in eternal hate
Their final traces falling apart
Losing life in their own heart
Meh I actually don't know what to do with it, he just showed me and I said I was gonna post it lol
