Title: I just created an action battle system. With magic. (Demo up)
Post by: Lein on February 17, 2008, 06:34:55 AM
It's really fun. I now want to ditch all work I have ever done and do every thing solely on my action battle system.

I can make my guy cast diffrent magic on the enemies at any time (Like fireball), I got the encounter to still be random, my guy can wiew his stats, and use items.

I really DID hate those turn based systems.

I gotta let everyone try this when I make some more spells and battles and stuff.

I just wanted to get a little more work done before I take some pics. The pics will be up later today, I guess.

Okay, I decided that instead of uploading pics i'll let you guys play a demo of it tommorow. It would be more fun that way for all of us.

The demo will only have one spell, cause I started this system late last friday. I haven't had much time to work on it... But I know how to put in other spells. And I only have one type of encounter. (One slime) Right now I am working on two slimes.(Which I figured out how to do, I just need to finish it.) I also have a "hotkey" system, where you can set one spell to the hotkey (space)

And the menu is accessed by pressing c.

Oh yeah, you get to see a custom graphic for my fireball spell. (But it stinks >>)

I'm done.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys, but this is on Rm2k.

How to fight: (I only have 1 spell so far)

You can cast spells by going to the menu(press c) during a battle and selecting cast. This will cast a spell.
If you go to the menu on the world map and select spells, you can set a spell to the hotkey (Space) for easier casting.
Don't let the enemies touch you, or you will take damage. Oh yeah, the two different random encounters I have are really easy, cause I haven't made harder ones yet.

By the way, you CAN NOT level up during the demo.

How to download:

There are two ways you can download this.

(You don't need the rtp)
You could download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IZ1RONA2 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IZ1RONA2) and start the setup. It should create a folder called "project 2" when you are done. Open that, and run the file named RPG_RT (The one with the icon) to play the demo.

If ^ download doesn't work do the ones below.

(You do need the rtp) (Both rtp 1 and rtp 1.32)

Get the full rtp by downloading http://www.sendspace.com/file/b4imly (http://www.sendspace.com/file/b4imly) and http://www.sendspace.com/file/aovc80 (http://www.sendspace.com/file/aovc80) (CLICK THE SECOND LINK SECOND)

Then download the game at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5HJGWUI9 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5HJGWUI9)

Have fun, give feedback, etc.

Oh yeah, i'm going to make a game with this system soon.

Why do you need screenshots when you can just download it?

Nightwolf: I'll upload it on sendspace when I get back from school. (I have to go soon)

Alternate download for nightwolf:http://www.sendspace.com/file/8ox9c0 (http://www.sendspace.com/file/8ox9c0)  :)


Some pics. (Remember, this is a really short demo. I only worked on it for 3 days before posting the demo.)

So, you get into a battle. (These are clickable)
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg225.imageshack.us%2Fimg225%2F756%2Fabs1sq9.th.jpg&hash=8ee9f4aec9110306ae4152dc404736314f18750d) (http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=abs1sq9.jpg)

Then you cast spells to win. (But I only have one now)
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg225.imageshack.us%2Fimg225%2F976%2Fabs2tu7.th.jpg&hash=7cb68b32e387bb6ac4880b68ec629443a21515fb) (http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=abs2tu7.jpg)
The green thing on the bottom is the message window coming up saying how much damage you did.
Yes, I know my custom graphic stinks.

The monsters can hurt you too though.

Message window a millisecond before it says that you took some damage. I HAVE AWESOME TIMING.

And then you go back on the world map, exactly in the same spot you were in before the battle.
And yes, all battles reman random. :)

The setup file didn't open for me, but i got the point.

Looks neat, and it'd be better if there were more spells and graphics etc..

good job ^^

Agree, not bad at all.
Just needs more (or a lot moar) development.

Post by: Lein on February 20, 2008, 12:12:33 PM
I know, it kinda does. I just like the fact that I got a projectile weapon to interact with a moving monster.
I have some good ideas for spells, like hitting everything in a line in front of you, creating a magical sheild monsters can't move through,(That would last for only 5 secs though.) and hitting everything in a 3x3 square 5 spaces ahead of you. and a spell that could set a trap that monsters could step on.

Right now i'm working on these spells. They are ALOT easier than making a fireball.
And yes, my grapincs are still going to suck.

As i said, we got graphics men

And this can be used to make many other things than spells.
You can use it to make gun bullets too !


*note: make them black or else they'll get mixed up with elephants XD*

I guess I could do gun bullets. The fireball works in the same way as a bullet would.

I should post a topic about the game i'm starting with this system in the new topics forum soon.
