Charas Heroes (something to see here probably)

[SaiKar]

I'm totally okay with where you're going with this. This character has a lot of, well, character. Go as far as you want. I will certainly make you playable.

[Ben]

 Jesus, I havent worked on XP stuff in so long. I forgot that It is actually kind of awesome.

[SaiKar]

It's not bad. I'm starting to like the character style, and of course the script editing makes a lot of really mundane things in 2k3 either simplistic or possible.

[Felix-0]

I'll try working with some XP.

Is is DBS or you working something out.

[Valiere]

Are you okay with where Im going with this?

Also... do you want a full sheet from me, because If Im not a playable character, Ill just make an NPC strip

But if you want a playable, I can do an XP RTP battler as well I guess.

Are you gonna be the mailman?

[Ben]

lol



I usually carry around a bag with me. I wont lie, Ive just sprited a cubbier version of myself here. Except that  Im wearing a black oxford and sweatervest....but black wasnt working well with the sprite.

I pretty much look like a big gay mailman though.


Your just jealous because my sprite has more manageable boobs

[SaiKar]

Is is DBS or you working something out.

DBS for now, until I decide I want to upgrade, which is not a high priority at the moment.

[Ben]

Sai, I always secretly wanted to see you use the XP TBS scripts. Theyre a bit complicated, but I was messing with them a while back, when you were trying to do a tbs on 2k3. Not necessarily for this project, but I remember thinking "Sai should use this"

[SaiKar]

TBS... timed battle system?

I really shouldn't be talking too much about this sort of thing because the fastest way to get discouraged on a project is to work too far ahead of myself. But, if I really want to, I have had this system sitting around for a while:



The icons at the top scroll left, and when they hit the left wall, it's that player's turn.

[Ben]

Tactical. TBS. Like FFtactics and whatnot.


By no mean should you change anything about what you're doing now. Ill see if I cant dig up the bookmark to the scripts...
and if I catch you on messenger Ill send you linkage

[SaiKar]

Oh. Yeah. I've thought about that too. Osmose, uh, knows what I'm talking about. But my problem with TBS systems is that they turn every battle into a huge freaking ordeal. A random encounter on the overworld map is like 10 minutes minimum in FFTA2, and that's a game where it's real easy to get ultra higher level than you "should" be for the challenges.

[Felix-0]

I like the Side View Battle System. My friend used that exact one. Except I changed the icons to the characters faces for the Time bar.

If we make a character do you want us to make battlers too?

[SaiKar]

The icons are changed for most of the characters in this version. That blue haired icon at the left is the game's main character. It's the battle sprite that's wrong.

What I want and what I am going to get are going to be two very different things. Yes, I would want people to help make battlers. Do I expect to get many? Nope.

[Felix-0]

AS long as the battlers don't have to be animated I can make.  XP isn't usually my forte. But I guess it's the same as 2k3 just with more detail and I don't have to worry about color256 bulls***. I'm working on a character set. I'll make a battler afterward. Hooray for being the best at my Vocational that I get all the free time in the world. 1st one to fix a computer too.

[Ben]

I would say stick to the system with the simpler battlers. Dont make more work for yourself. Less is more....and more manageable.

Masses of battlers and animations are half the reason RPG maker people never finish projects. That, and because its a game maker that revolves around the most difficult to make genre of game, that everyone happens to think is the easiest to make. A well thought out world and battle system do equal a good game
