Title: Real-time CBS
Post by: Red Giant on February 13, 2004, 12:24:35 AM

Has anyone ever played "Dark Cloud"?
If you have, this CBS is VERY much like Dark cloud. I mean VERY much.
Basically, the combat is real time, and it makes use of lots of buttons. You get a total of 6 characters to play as, but you can only play ONE at a time. You switch between them by pressing 1-6.
There are 2 other commands: Enter to attack and Shift to defend.
Just like DC, battles only ever happen in the dungeons (So the world map is pretty empty) and the floors are randomly generated. And, once again, like DC, after every floor, you get the choice to proceed or quit.
The basic enemies just follow you around, but the bosses have very cool special attacks. The griffon can shoot lasers from above (Below).
I am also trying to incorperate spell-casting normal baddies.

Title: Spell casting Update!
Post by: Red Giant on February 13, 2004, 02:50:28 PM

Update! Spell casting badguys!
I worked out a way that lets baddies cast spells when they are a certain distance from the hero.
Below, you see the Eyeball monster using it's "Paralyzing glare!"

Misc info:
All the chipsets in the CBS (Which I hope to turn into a full fledged game) are Mack + Blue (Coulda guessed) and all the facesets are Roco.
And all the heroes are matching charsets. HAHAHA! That's right! I have charsets that match roco's faces!! HAHA! BOW DOWN!!
EVEN THE NEWER "PORTRAIT" ONES!!

Yeah, well, y'now. It might be a secret to a stranded fisherman who got lost at sea for 34 years and just became a member of charas.
BUT NOW YOU RUINED IT ALL!!

PS: I didn't mean the site  itself  was a secret.

Hey,
 test my CBS. (http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/71242/OmegaSkies.zip)

Oh, and there is a limit to how many can download it per day. Please don't go wild.
Read the "READ ME" before playing or you may be confused.

Dude how did you get a real-time cbs? I want one for Golden Embers, but I don't know how to make it.

Nice work but I prefer the style the old Network RPG Maker 2000 delivers... even though it is dated *sigh*... I have begun offering support for it even though it is aged. If only a newer version existed...


Anyways
Allot of time and effort is going into this. I can tell that for sure, that I can.

Thanks guys.
And PaperCup, well, I may write a tutorial sometime, but for now, you'd better search the net, I'm sure there are plenty out there.

Not bad! But you might want to change the boss theme. There are a lot of people who are very against using FF stuff.

Also, you should set it so you can see the character slash his sword (or whatever weapon they use) when you attack.

Post by: Red Giant on February 15, 2004, 05:20:50 AM

I hope to change the music, but in the spur of the moment I just stuck something on there.

And yeah, I was hoping to make seperate animations when characters attack and defend.

Also, I need to make each character's weapon  sound different. In theory, I can do it, but I am SO LAZY.

I've been sorta lazy for a while too but now I'm working my butt off because I've started work with Network RPG Maker 2000, I'm going to help a site I discovered just yesterday. I'm going to be the very first contributer, kinda sad though that I am the very first to start supporting them.
