Title: [GM] Real Time RPG
Post by: Computer_Geek on June 28, 2007, 04:04:24 PM
Is it even possible to convert this into a real time? I was really happy with the way FFXII turned out, and I'd like a battle system similar to that, including even pre-rendered enemies. I don't imagine it will be too hard once I get the whole attack / magic / w/e else screen finished outside of the enemies already visible. Anyways, is this possible?

I hope, for the sake of this post, you aren't talking about RPG Maker.

Game Maker can easily do this, as long as you're okay with doing a bit of mathematics and inventing a few formulas. In fact, it's a lot easier than I used to think, if you keep things relatively simple. Even easier if you have GM registered. If you make an RPG in Game Maker, you can do one hell of a lot more than RM can. But no RM related questions (outside of comparison between RM and GM) here, it pisses me off real fast.

oh, thanks to all of you ^_^ I'll check out GM, and no, I don't mind mathematics really, I just don't know where to start.

Well, before you even start, I suggest figuring out some basic equations for stats. I.E:

DAMAGE = E.ATTACK - DEFENSE * WEAKNESS

This means that when you are attacked, your defense is subtracted from the enemy's strength, then the difference is multiplied by your weakness level. Very simple, but if you have other stuff in there, it can get kinda complicated.

DAMAGE = E.ATTACK - DEFENSE + E.VIGOR + E.MENTALITY - SPIRIT * WEAKNESS

And etc. As more stats come into play, things will quickly become muddled, so I suggest figuring out how you want these things to play into each other.
