Have you try using the program gimp?? Its similare to paint, but you can make the pictures transparent, and its free.

You can do a common event, where if your charaters equip a wep, he or she will lose a skill type, and gain a skill type. But im not sure on bow to go about changing weps in battle thou.

You could make gaurd give stats like def, and evasion, for a few turns, probally wpuld be useful for weak mages. Or maybe, if you are doing like a summon in final fantasy, where the summon will dmg your allies as well, unless they gaurd. Could be any skills also, not just summoning. Also you can change gaurd to something different also. Im using gaurd as a tp gain also for one of my charater, where he doesnt gain any tp what so ever,and the only way to gain tp is to gaurd, amd his regular att takes tp, where he only has about 20 tp, and all of his skill uses tp too.

I can try to make you some, but what excatly types of machines you looking for?? I only got some idea of drills, and go karts, and some cranes but thats about it. I got some pipes too, but they are big, not small. And there isnt an end to the pipes, i can make the pipes go into the wall. What kind of color scheme are you looking for? About 40 minutes later I made a fernece on an app on my phone, but i dont know how to share it_0)

You could add a timer for this also.

A power plant???will the power plant from bof 3 work for you??

You could do something like ff10, where they are camping out before the final fight.

You should replay ff9 for the cut scene, they are all great in my opion, and with purpose, some short and impactful. Some are just to take a break from the game.

I remeber playing an rpg game with crafting in it, dont remever which one it was, but i really didnt focus too much on it, even thou it was a neat and cool idea, but for an rpg i really dont expect it and it really wasnt the best crafting system from what i can remeber. i am putting something similare into my game as well, but nothing to that extent. Mine is kind of like ff8, where you just have 1 wep, and you can upgrade it with minerals that you can either mine, drops,or buy. But thats about it, nothing to the extreme. Skilling would be something cool thou, could have a big impact on games and you can do a lot with skilling. For example using a sword you get points into it, and increase your dmg output from using it, and it would intress a lot of people considering that having something to look forward to with battleing (which is about 80% of rpgs) makes it more fun and would make peoplw play it more. Other skilling are great too, like cooking or crafting, sometimes i rather just make things in the game instead if finding it as drops from monsters. I do think that fiahing is a great mini game and if you have it in your game its a plus, cause its a nice break away from the acual game. I am for the skilling, i think it would bring a little bit of unqiuness in the community. Sorry for the randomness of my post. Im posting on my phone so no proof reading.

I have an idea, but let me mess around with my idea before i tell you to see if it works or not_^)

Fishing pole, like hinter x hunter. Chinese yoyos are cool too_0). Air gear or maybe leenalee from d grey man?? A giant rock. Toy gun as a host for an energy blast. Launtern maybe for a mage. Umbrella.

Sorry to hear about your dog man, but welcome back, hit it hard.

Oh so friendly_^) ill try my best to contribute to the community when i get some of my stuff together_^)

I just downloading the same plugin, and i found a neat trick to use that plug in so that the dmg is a lot smaller then what is inteded for. Im pretty big in balancing battles, skills and just stat wise also. Little to non in exp, but maybe some of the systems can help you out a little.

Just came here to see others idea of game making. Just started on a project and need as much help as i can get_^) any would do wonders
