I tried making the battles harder by mainly giving the enemies more attack and skills, and not HP, (unless its a boss, in which case I didn't touch the skills).

Hope they aren't too much harder. Bashing the spacebar and doing little damage was hard enough.

By harder I mean this. I made the heros level up more, thus the enemies later on in the game got a lot easier. So I had to make those harder to match how they were, but I did this by raising other attributes other than just hp.

Actually, I have a weird Idea:

Somebody could start off by making the end of a game, then other creators would need to go back in the chronology of the game and make the rest of it!

That's a nice idea guys, isn't it? ....Mmmmyes...?

I like it.


But it would be hard to get the level of the heroes right and making all the monsters.

I also suggest that after everyone has finished, we pass the project back through everyone for a day or two to finish any additional touchups they want. Especially with me redoing the battles, some people might want to edit their enemies to a way they like again. I also found a number of mistakes, including message errors that chop off text so it is unreadable. Anyway, cycling the project back through everyone will give everyone a chance to edit this one last time before its released.

Yeah, thats a good idea. Lets do that.

Oh, I see. Cool. I'm glad you're fixing all of that, but I hope it doesn't affect certain things about a certain weapon...

Err, I have NO idea on what you're talking about, PM me sometime with more details  :p

[DragonBlaze]

w00t mini game system is finally finished! I only use 160 variables and 50 switches  

Now I dont have much more left to do, so hopefully I'll be able to upload it on friday.

[Red Fox]

Great!

Err scratch that, give me to moday to finish it and upload it. I ran into some complications with the minigame, when I tested it on a differant computer, it lagged like hell, and I noticed some errors with conflicting events. The good news is that I think I fixed it for the most part. I was able to turn three parallel process events into one string of events which really reduced the lag and helped the stability of the minigame. Though there still are around 100 parallel process events that dynamically update the main system with data, but they only update every .01 seconds and have around 4 lines of code, and only 20 of them are fully active at a time. In any case, I think I have the lag taken care of, I'll still work a bit on reducing it after I upload it, and then when we cycle the project back around for fixes, I might quick replace the minigame with the new system.

So yeah, at the moment, I'm testing it from the start of the game to make sure the battles are balanced ok. Then i have to add a couple of small maps to the project, which won't take long, but I have to work long shifts all weekend... I may have this up tomarrow night, but I'll definately upload it monday cuz i'll have a lot of time to work on it then if I don't have it finished this weekend.

So I know, is the story comical or serious?

It's up to you, but I think most have gone for comical.

In short, it lagged, I combined a few events, its a LOT better I'm still gonna test it more after I pass it on, and I may replace it later with a better version.

I actually went for serious. Then again, I couldn't help but have some comic relief. :p

[DragonBlaze]

I too took it for a pretty much serious plot with some commedy moments and ideas thrown in.

Anyway, I'm done with chapter 6, just gotta run through it and fix any bugs I find, I'll upload it tomarrow and pass it on then. Sorry I didn't get this done on monday, but I was having problems with my gf... Its all better now, but it wasted at least 6 hours of my life...

[Red Fox]

You guys actually did something serious with the plot... I'll look forward to play it.

Sounds good DragonBlaze... not the gf part but you know... chain game.

Ok, finished with my part finally, its uploaded and I sent the link to Dragoon de Sol
