But I'm not lucky! D8
I think so! 8)
Random is not fun. 8(
Well, You can say it became an Mini-Crit, I dealt less damage than an usual Critical hit, It's quite random really. But it's nothing to worry about.
No, no! Laevateinn is safe! We're fine! D8 Yeah, Thor gets Mjolnir, like I said. Valhalla is a physical attack Elyon uses. Check out the Moveset. Coolio. No, I'm pretty sure its finished. If I make any changes at all, it will be very minor. I'll look forward to it. Really? I was dealing like 5000, and then 6000... >_> (You sure these critical hits aren't randomized?)
Well, I will make sure to answer some of them. The Laevateinn part was just a really big mistake! :3 Time for a new name then, I hasn't telled Lewis yet, But he has to bear it! Laevateinn's new name is Articher. Yes, We are still going with Julius, But i actually renamed him, But you must have missed the word i posted to you some weeks ago, But it doesn't matter, I'll keep the name Julius... Feel free to do what you want with the plot. Im currently trying to fix out everything with my life going on. No, I meant that Thor gets Mjolnir and Valhalla is what not's Thor will use. I'll fix the achievements, I was in a hurry, I'll also try and fix the Party Shifting script as well, Im trying to give menus a new look so im going to ask Meigumi someday very soon if everything is coming well. It's much work, But it's effective that once everythings complete, Put them all into a giant document, It's easier for me to not lose way on what i am doing, But it's not done yet so take it easy for now. I'll make sure to update the demo, But on unknown time, My laptop is currently still in repairing, But... I'll get my old computer back to it's feet now, It still can't play my favorite games... But i can fix the project some later time. It's gonna take some time, But i'll let you know if i make some progress. Actually, Critical Hits deal around 180-190% more damage than an regular hit, So don't say it's to low! See you later!
Post is getting too long... Let's make another one. (Although, I hope you can respond to everything in the other post, too.) I was in the party switch menu, and I'm guessing you're able to give descriptions on what the buttons do? Cause other wise I get a bunch of []s. And you can switch characters without needing to take them out and re-arrange them. Use A. (Although, you probably knew this.) Also, are you implementing the Q and W in any way but in menus? I know they're L and R, basically. (I'm gonna go ahead and assume you can't change the control scheme.) And no, I'm not gonna ask for Overlimit mini-games. (But that would be badass... 8() Also, about your Achievements... they seem kinda broken. =/ Also, I just noticed something while looking for weapon names to update my current list. I swear that wasn't intentional... Also, Mjolnir is spelled with one "L."
That sucks. You mean Thor gets Mjollnir? Elyon gets Valhalla. ^_^ Okay, I can make that work. Does he join us before we set off for Orderos, or should I do something else with his recruitment? Like... as soon as you enter townz? That'd be awkward... I can have them appear mid-way through a dungeon, and they join you, there. For example, the assault on Utopia in Episode 4 introduces Ladon as a guest halfway through the battle. (He shows up with bombs and other triumphant stuff.) I was thinking the Elders at Orderos would hand over Julius when we went to go stop Dimitri from ressurecting Shira, but maybe he could appear somewhere else. (BTW, we're still going with Julius? Just checking.) DO IT! 8D Like it is, now? With them split up in taverns or just wandering around town? DO IT! 8D Can you change the critical hit formula? It's nice that its frequent, but it's like... 10% stronger... I think triple damage but 5% is more rewarding. Also, I'm doing a small tutorial segment with Nova. He just tells you what the buttons are, really basic. After spamming all the buttons and figuring out what they do... hopefully, the player would like to know that, too. (Of course, they'll need to know that Z is confirm in the first place...) I had another idea where Alther and Krystal are rivals. Maybe they're assassins, but Krystal helps out the rebellion in Episode 4, so who knows where her allegance lies. Alther's a bit of a toughie, too, because I have to involve Natasha, somehow. I'm ashamed to admit it now, but I originally thought of him seeking out the god of rebirth to ressurect her. Sound familiar? >_< Manuscripts? You mean the plot? It's on its, way. I'm almost done with Episode 2. I was originally describing NPCs, shops and other such nonsense, but its taking way too long. So, instead, I'm gonna give you a basic idea of how townz look, and you create them... yeah. The plot's being described, but that's it. Moveset.rtf Probably complete. If you see anything you don't like, tell me. When in doubt, rely on Latin! (Google translations suck, though...) Mortalitas means "death," "inferi" means hellfire and so on. You have a choice of two with Ralz, both should satisfy copyright restrictions, hopefully... Small update. I didn't realize this. Take away Virus and Infection for Krystal. Alther gets: Confuse: Throw off one enemy's sense of friend and foe. Hysteria: Throw off all enemies' sense of friend and foe. Also, should these debuffs deal damage as well? Also, also, also, replace Meigumi's Reverbation with Traction. (I mistakenly forgot Krystal used Reverbation as Silence All.) Also, replace Nova's Storm with Turbulence. There's a Storm something in the document I also forgot about. >_< And I decided not to make the Soulbind's attacks non-elemental. I think their main attraction is they can exploit elemental weaknesses and deal MASSIVE DAMAGE as a result. So... Alexander's Eternal Light is now holy-elemental. I MIGHT make Fatalitas's Reaper's Cruelty dark-elemental. If you chose Leviathan, Deluge is water-elemental. Ifrit's Inferi is fire-elemental. Shiva's Heart of Ice is, well, ice-elemental. Dahaka's Lord of the Sky is wind-elemental. Finally, Thor's Mjollnir is thunder-elemental. That should be everything. Now, tell me if anything's not possible. (Potentially Ralz's C'aro Toss...) I threw out as many ideas as I could onto the table. I think you should make a demo specifically for testing these out. Next, I went to start cutting down on the list. In the process of this, I gave these characters simply too many abilities, thus we should determine what's necessary and what isn't.
Im gonna make it quick, My laptop crashed just when i was about done with writing the texts. Elyon, With Mjollnir, Yes. Laevateinn, Son of Fidelitas, Yes. Laevateinn, Spy, No. I keep on hearing stuff that party members join your group when you enter towns!! Can some party members join when entering specific places? Like Julius join when meeting him on the way in Crystal Forest? Or maybe Castle Dungeon, ANYTHING WITHOUT MORE TOWNS. It's just an suggestion. Diagonal Movement, Perhaps. Party In Town Fix, Perhaps. Maybe Krystal steals Alther's kills? *chuckle* I long to see the manuscripts, Send it someday then.
I might even replace Odin with Leviathan or something, if we wanna go that far. No problem, seeing as how we only have three tiers now. The highest thunder spell is Maelstrom, now. Mjollnir can now be used as Thor's attack. I originally had that planned as one of Elyon's attacks, but I can make that Valhalla, instead. I found out, too. I started playing some other VX games, and I pretty much see everything you're talking about. Could you put the party menu as a selectable option on the party menu instead of being hidden, then? Also, CAN WE HAVE DIAGONAL MOVEMENT? THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME. (I was playing Tales of Fantasy XXVIII, wow that game is presented beautifully.) Oh wait, you can switch members around by just pressing A. Cool. Ralz: Hey... what the---? Ralz: Hey, you're me! Ralz: O_O Ralz: O_O I had the idea Elyon would always been the one in towns, but on the field, we could switch whoever we wanted. Unless that's not possible. When it comes to Laevateinn, I'm not sure what to do with him. I had two ideas. One, he's the son of Fidelitas, but spies for the rebellion. My other idea was he's the prince of the castle in Utazien (or whatever I plan to rename it). After a tragedy because of the Empire, he ran off, seeking vengeance and wasn't seen since. And even in that idea, I'm not sure what to do with him. Julius just appears in Orderos, we can assume his kind is nowhere else in the world. And Krystal... Huh... My first thought was she assists Ladon, and then I thought she was some kind of wandering assassin who kills for profit. How she knows Alther is a bit of a trick, though. Things'll work out, I'm sure. Once you see the script, you're sure to start bawling with laughter. xD
To my dissapointment, The laptop can't play any of the games i want because of an extremely obnoxious lag, It's terrible! Did i get my hopes up to much?! What have i done to deserve this?! Everytime i get close to something, Something really bad happens... It always happens... I can't believe this... Geting close to my friends computer made it start up acting wierd, It has never happened before said Lewis, Getting to another friends computer, It acted up just like the same way, Unbelievable!! I am cursed Ralz, Cursed with inner good luck, But outer bad luck. Maybe the creation of Elyon was my feelings of this? An child of destiny... Half imbued with the power of demons... That's probably the bad luck part, But also enchanced with inner angel, Which is the good luck. I don't know!! It's probably that way... I think i am in need of a therapist!!! *sigh* Finally getting my own computer... And all my gaming dreams crushed into a billion pieces by the cause of bad luck...
Zantetsuken can possibly be renamed into something else, Try finding other words that can be used, Zantetsuken is an deathly haymaker, So it should not be to hard to rename. Bahamut must be discarded then, Unless we create our own Dragon, Maybe something artifical, Tonberry can of course be renamed into Death, Because it's not really copyrighted except history, Ramuh is easily replaced by Thor, The only problem is that the 4th tier thunder spell is called Mjollnir, Which is... Thor's hammer in nordish mythology. The party switch was always there, But i couldn't find something effective to use it, But it'll be diffrent now, And... No, I cannot force the switch out of the window. And... Well, I knew you would find it out eventually, I was lazy making switches to prevent seeing two characters, I'll fix it someday. Well, I got some news for you, I finally got my own computer! An laptop! finally replacing that good-for-nothing old computer of mine! So... I can possibly be online checking messages everyday! Keep on working then! We got an game to complete!
The Movelist is almost done, and I've managed to avoid copyright for nearly everything. Surprisingly, Diamond Dust isn't Final Fantasy exclusive. However... here's the things that are protected. Tonberry Zantetsuken (?) Bahamut Ramuh Zantetsuken is a mystery to me. I came across several articles about Japanese origin, but I didn't look too deeply into it. If I have Odin use this, will it be too much like the FF one? We COULD use Bahamut, but he'd have to be a fish, and I'm guessing you don't want that. I could replace Tonberry with a reaper guy or something. And maybe Thor can replace Ramuh, if you'd like. I've found plenty of ways around copyright... hopefully. Oh, BTW. Barbariccia was replaced by Alexander, who uses light. I gave him to Elyon, and now Laevateinn has Bahamut. Placeholders... but I think Alexander is relatively safe. EDIT: On a side note, I went back to the demo and actually beat Gilgamesh! He was pretty tough, I'll admit. Afterwards, I spoke with Nova, and I liked the way the scene went. And of course him joining the party is a plus. Was the party switch option always there? I have to be in the menu and press Shift to access it. Maybe you could make it accessable outside the menu? As you might've guessed, I put Nova in the party and Ralz in the lead... And back in Utazien is... Ralz? It was odd. I'm guessing that can't be avoided without making an entirely new map without your selected character there? Just wondering. Anyway, Nova's pretty cool in battle, holding a fireball like that. xD He's got a good moveset and once I finish the list, he'll have a lot more to him. Now I'm getting really excited!
Good, good. Thanks for the first names! Yes, those three are the conspirators. The other three are M's more trusted underlings. In particular, Fidelitas is M's personal ally. In case you're wondering about the whole Jeanne thing for Kariste, Ralz's last name is just Arlea. He doesn't have a middle name. No need to connect the two, anymore. More is on the way!
Sounds good, Ralz! The loyalty thing will do good for an shocking scene, Maybe the others loyal (except Kariste) might die protecting Mr. M. I've being thinking of some first names, And these last names will help me. How about these...? Ryuk Zoku Frederick Emeritus Adrian Proditio Priscilla Avaritia Cedric Fidelitas How about these names for the five Ralz? And the plot which three of them, Obviously, Zoku, Proditio and Avaritia are probably gonna overthrow him, Right? Okaydokay! Done! Send some more later!
