The Battle System

[Storm]

This is the battle system I have right now. I will be uploading the video later.

Spoiler: ShowHide

I need a suggestion, what do you think the good battle system should have?

So yout battle system consists of semi-transparent RMXP-screenshots floating around on a blue-white gradient with your game's name on it?
...Well what an insteresting concept.

[tSwitch]

no idea what's going on at all.

[Ryex]

hmm, could you obfuscate your intentions some more? your meaning is just too clear.

[ForeverZer0]

I think it needs some more confusion.
Just a tip.

[RoseSkye]

You put your name on Atoa's battle system to try to impress us? I am impressed... at the brazen nerve of yours.

When I first read this topic, I thought the topic was about, "What makes a good battle system?". It certainly sounded like a discussion topic.

In saying that, I suppose a good battle system would be one that always gets you thinking, and not simply just a grind or mash fest. I personally believe it's making the best of what you have, as turn-based, action-based, any type of battle system really can be extremely well done with the usage of creative ideas... Of course, that's the obvious, isn't it? :v

[Kagutsuchi]

No no I get it! You fight 4 battles at the same time in parallel universes!

[Blizzard]

Actually that would be kind of awesome if it was for just one battle.

[Hatsamu]

I've tried to read thru it and I've came up with the conclusion of that being a regular turn based battle system that shows you the turns into a splashing screens sequence once you've taken your choices.


If that's not whats going on there, then I'm lost too... o.o

[Storm]

I will upload the video and you guys will see.
EDITED: Here is the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhATgunhFtU .

[Hatsamu]

Ok, I got it now... but you need to clarificate next time that the image was just something like a "collage" and not the actual battle system.

Onto the suggestions, I'd go with a different battleback that not make your characters look like "Honey, I shrunk the kids" characters. But if that's the style you are giving to the game its okay, of course. I just personally found it just a bit annoying.

Besides, its a SBV with some extra features like jumping over your opponents a-la-mario and hurling your weapon at them, right?



Off-Topic (or not): Now I want the splashing screens battle system I've seen and the parallels universes one... o.o

[RoseSkye]

Looks familiar...
Is that your card?

[Storm]

Looks familiar...
Is that your card?

Yep, with some modifyings.
So I'm asking here what I should add.

[RoseSkye]

"The Orion: Rise Battle System v2.4...
EPIC!! I amazed myself. XD"

Explain that video description.

[Blizzard]

Exactly. This isn't your battle system, you didn't make it. Are you stealing scripts again, mattfriends?

[Kagutsuchi]

Ok, so technically this isn't your battle system, you just took another script and edited it a bit. That still doesn't make it yours. And next time, chose some decent music. And the original looked much more awesome ^^

[Ryex]

ok so I can understand branding it IF you've modified it but you still have to give due credit to the base system.

[Storm]

Of corse I didn't make it, I even list whole credits in a text file.
Here is the list:

Enu, Atoa
game_guy
fukuyama
MGCaladtogel
Ccoa
Blizzard
Law
LiTTleDRAgo

Now see? (And stop calling me mattfriend or whatever, I'm getting sick of it. WHO THE HELL IS THAT?)

Guess what, we're getting sick of you, too. It wouldn't bother you as much if it wasn't true.
