I remember really enjoying secret of mana as a kid. it was a very fun game. emulating that in some way would be a win.

what if you did a cool down skill system like in Xenoblade instead of the wait for 5 secs to charge up ur skill number like they did in Secret of Mana?

That would work fine if my game had skills. However, it probably won't. Maybe a stamina bar for throwing stuff/running/dashing/lunging.

Well, as of now I have the basic script for weapon attacks to collide with enemies.
To make things simpler, enemies will probably be event based (as opposed to events creating pictures). This leads to some issues with enemy movement when they are hit, seeing as they have to complete their current move to start their 'thrown back' movement.
Because of that things look choppy sometimes. Trying to look into it. Anyways, gonna do some sound stuff sometime soonish and then I'll release another demo.
EDIT: Also managed to make event based enemies follow the hero picture. That was fun

Maybe... At certain points during the enemy code, have simple switch conditional branches that will abort if the switch is turned on. example:
before completing action "n" or executing further code,
IF switch "Abort" <ON>
Jump to label 1
where label 1 is positioned appropriately to restart the enemy event. You'll also want to have these conditionals reset any other switches or variable that may cause bugs or crashes if not reset after aborting during the middle of the code.
Depending on how complex enemy AI is, this shouldn't be too hard to implement and might solve the choppiness.

No no, what I mean is if the enemy is in the process of moving from tiles X1 to X2 at a speed of 2, they must complete that movement before they can move from tiles X2 back to X1 due to knockback at speed 6.
EDIT: It is just how rpgmaker 2003 works sadly. Once an event has committed to moving to another tile, that movement must be finished before a second movement can start.

Oh, that is a much different problem.
hmm... I imagine picture based enemies would be a huge pain in the ***? Otherwise, I can't imagine any way of getting around that.

I've made picture based enemies on a project a few years ago. While it works, it takes much more time. I may still do it, since I don't think I would need to redo any coding, just add picture collision codes to the enemies... we shall see. The more I think about it, the more appealing it seems.

Well, I figured out a very easy way to make event-cordinated-picture-based enemies take a lot less time, so I will probably use them. Basically, I have an event constantly checking the location of enemies, and if they change their vertical local, the picture number changes accordingly so that they appear in front/behind what they should.
Because of this, it requires constant refreshing of pictures. Though enemy pictures are small (~24x32 is what I believe will be my largest), refreshes of 10 per second could cause lag, so let me know how the game performs on your pc once I put something out.
Sound is coming along nicely. I actually coded a little crystal thing where crystals light up in tune with the chimes of a theme. Also did a little work on graphics:
More or less a direct rip of a game's water temple tile set with the addition of my own coral edits and grass. All walls/floors are animated with a flowing water effect.

That is gorgeous, also glad to hear you figured out a solution to enemies.

Thanks!
So, I am looking for underwater stuff atm... Harder to find than I thought.
If anyone knows any websites or whatnot that has some sprites of starfish, seashells, coral, whatever, point me at em please. Almost anything works, as I am really good at taking something and editing it to look how I want.

Hmm, only thing I can think of is the antlantica world in Kingdom hearts chain of memories. Can't think of a lot of games that makes you run around underwater.

I dunno if it'd fit, but Ristar and Donkey Kong have a wide selection of underwater vegetation, which you could possibly make fit in.
Astounding screen by the way!
