Title: Is it possible to... [Resolved]
Post by: WilliamPetty on October 19, 2008, 12:18:18 PM
I'm kinda like a newbie at the whole making games thing, so sorry if I make stupic comments or posted this in the wrong place. >_>"

Anyway, the question i'm asking is, is it possible to make it like a normal RPG game how you walk in a overworld map, but when you get into a battle, for the battle you move around like across and attack with a button. A good example is Tales of Phantasia. The battle system is like set on this field, how you and your enemy move around and attack each other like with a button.

If it's not possible with RPGM2003 is it possible to do it with any of the other one's? Sorry if this has been asked, I seriously couldn't find this question when I searched for it.

A Tales ABS? That's really hard to do in 2003, but it can be done in XP and VX with proper scripting. However, I haven't seen any Tales scripts.

Ok, thanks. xD Well atleast I know it's kinda possible, lol. Well that's what i'm getting.

Also another noob question, for 2k/2k3 how do you like make the movement more available and not stay at the normal 3 movement. For example, for some
techniques this person made then do multiple movements.

I know it's not a very good example, I just found it when searching for RPG games. ._. Sorry if you don't understand what I mean, i'll define it abit more? XD

For example Kakashi at 0:39-0:42 Kakashi does about 9 different poses/sprites then the actual skill came out.

he made animation sets out of the character sprites, then created user animation of the pre-attack sprite (like kakashi doing the hand symbols), so instead of just a charge up graphic or something, it showed something more complex, and then the target animation as normal.

An Action Battle System is easy to make in Rm2k3 IF you are good at eventing and have the sprites and all.

Never played Phantasia though

Oh, my childhood.
