HumanNinja 144 Posted September 16, 2014 It looks like you're on your way in the skills department bro. I know it can be a pain in the @$$ to do so many skills. I actually cut down the number of PCs in my game from 13 to 6 partly because of database issues. I know you've got your work cut out for you, happy data basing!

Wren 179 Posted September 16, 2014 I'm trying to decide if I want to just do these simple, or use some clever custom formula stuff to have certain characters just better at using certain weapons/skills. Do you think I need that, or does this already look complicated enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanNinja 144 Posted September 16, 2014 I'm a big fan of customized formula's for skills. There are lots of really interesting ways to affect the damage. I think you may be using a lot of states for your hunter skills, right? You could have a skill do more damage if state x is applies to target: b.state?(x)? r=a.atk*12: r=a.atk*4; r - b.def*2 Or you could have a state added if the skill does critical damage: if b.result.critical;b.add_states(x);end;1 If you haven't already, check out Titanhex's tutorial on custom damage formula. Reading that really opened my eyes to the crazy amount of possibilities within the damage formula box that I never thought of. Plus, damage formula is probably the easiest part of skill to go back and change later if you need to (copy/paste ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wren 179 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Also, a slight change to how exotic combo works, you inflict an enemy with all 5 combo states, then the next skill triggers relentless assault, which is a 7 hit hp drain that ignores enemy defenses. Pretty awesome. My next plan of action is to get stats to all weapons, armor and skills and set up enough monsters for the first few chapters, and set up the license board with everything. Another thing I need to do is set up about 40-60 animations for weapons and skills and states so that it doesn't look or sound repetitive. After all of this is done, I will need to create more custom TSBS actions so the battle sprites do interesting and cool things for the attacks/skills. After all of that is done, I can start to redo the actual gameplay content. So that's my road map, but I'll probably break it down into smaller chunks and keep this thread updated with progress. Thanks everyone for your support and inspiration. As always, any comments, suggestions, feedback, warnings, etc, post below or PM me directly.
