A Game (Untitled As of now)

[Ruler of the Dark]

All my other ideas sucked, were cliche, or supposedly were already made and never finished....

I am making a new game and I hope it's not too cliche so your input would be apprieciated.

 Story (Not all as in I don't want to spoil it)
   There is a war going on between two continents, Valderia and Conious. A sinister force known only as 'The Dark One' takes this as an opurtune time to 'visit' the temples in these continents. For there are powerfully magical orbs in each temple (7 in all), 3 of which are on these continents.

   Xavier who lives in Valshen, a city of Valderia is called upon by unknown forces to visit the nearby temple and there he learns his destiny.

Sounds good but the moodle and the flute is kinda familiar... Maybe FF9, moogle and moogle flute?

[Ruler of the Dark]

Exactly, This is what I need, comments that help.

I actually forgot about that in FF9.

Maybe I can make it so to save on the world map to use an item or spell?
Good? Bad?

[peklo1989]

Spell makes it weird and i've never seen any spells that lets you save the game so i think it's an original idea..

[MrMister]

A spell to save. There shouldn't be anything called moodle in it.

[Ruler of the Dark]

Maybe that wouldn't work because then whats the point of not having 'save' in the menu and having save points?

What do you think I should do?

[GhostClown]

Hm, well the game looks great so far, I like the system set

[Zin The Maker]

a map in the town??? cool!

[Sephiroth rocks]

You could make the save system so you'll have to buy an item to save (like a book or something). Of course this should only apply to the worldmap 'cuz savepoints still works best.

[linkline91]

hmmm.... how about in a tent? U can save and recover

[Zin The Maker]

yeah, that sounds like the best idea. You can name the game Moodle! :p

That would work, the save points  are books...

Tents are overused in games, I don't want to use them

[VahnGrave]

What are you using ot make it?ANd the char graphics kick butt

[Ruler of the Dark]

I am using rm2k3 to make it and the charsets are REFMap

[peklo1989]

I know (maybe) how to make them work in the world map only.

Make the item a switch. Call it anything you want...
Make a common event. Auto-Start that works on that switch.
Make a new switch. (On the world map) Then branch. If [On the world map]- ON then call save menu and ELSE make a message or whatever you like.
At the end turn the switch off.

It should look like this:

Common event: (Call the event anything you want) Switch: ?

<>Branch if Switch [XXXX: On the world map] is ON
  <>Call save menu
: Else handler
  <>Message or anything you want
: End
<>Switch Operation: [XXXX: On the world map] OFF

I hope this worked..
