I've been testing out my video capture on my modern day superhero RPG:

That wasn't worth a bump. Neither is this.

A bump? The topic is stickied.

Whoa what? Seriously? My bust.

Hi all, it's been a while (5yrs hoho), just letting you all know I'm still alive and working on my game (for those who remember lmao). I'm determined to finish this thing!

Here are some screens of my game, Hybrid Flare:

Menu System:



Boss Battle:



Random Battle in Memoria Cave:



Main character saving his friends wife:



Outside the Shard Cavern the main characters friend works at:
You can't really tell in this picture, but the game uses a caterpillar system (The hero is the one with the silver hair and his friend is blonde).


The game will feature the following systems; CMS, CBS, Caterpillar System, Running and the ability to avoid battles (an idea shamelessly used from Velsarbor). All of the systems are complete as far as functionality is concerned. I still test for bugs as I go along however. The game will be about 4 chapters in terms of plot. In terms of actual maps Ive done about 150, which translates to about maybe 10% of my games intended plot. Not a lot I know lmao and I'm off to University for another year this September. So I'm hoping to be able to squeeze some time in up there and also again next summer. I hope I can get Chapter 1 out next summer too.

Anyway, chao!

Zellus, the battle system layout looks nice, but if you aren't terribly attached to that typography,  I would consider changing it at least the font for the Attack Item etc, it just doesnt look....good to me. The letter spacing looks off, the letterforms are just ugly, just my opinion but you should at least consider another font


edit: also, using a serif font in that small of point for the 'Attack Enemy' box probably isnt a great idea either. Those serifs make you have to squint and a sans-serif font would be much more effective and clean

Hey everyone, I've been meaning to post this for awhile...

I'm not new to RPG making, I was a 2K guru back in the day...  Released a sort of crappy game demo with a CBS and CMS called Chrono Shift.  I also created a short game called Goofy Skateboarding (yes, the disney character) which had a skateboarding/ABS system and lots of blood and comic violence.

A couple years ago I messed around with RMXP and was impressed by what you could do with the scripting language.  I completely re-imagined Chrono Shift, and decided to tackle it with some planning and REAL coding skills.  Since then I have slowly and steadily been creating the battle and menu system for it, as well as the graphics.  I've completed a lot in recent months, and I figured I'd throw up a few pics of my progress:

Menu System:
Nothing too special about these:




Two additional stats I use: Speed and Luck


The Tech Grid.  This is how you learn your skills.  It's sort of like the Sphere Grid from FFX, you advance around the grid, activating nodes with TP you gain from battles.
Some nodes teach Techs, some increase your stats, and some teach "Passive Skills" that will effect you in battle.  Examples: Auto-SP regeneration, damage reduction, resistance to certain elements.




Battle System:

RTAB with Minkoffs Animated battlers.

The Chrono Gauge is a unique feature I created.  At the start of the battle the values in each cell are randomized between x0 and x3.
When you use a Tech, the rightmost box is filled with the "color" of the element used, and all existing elements are shifted to the left.
When a certain element is in a box, all damage of that element is multiplied by the value in the box.
I got this idea from the Field Gauge in Chrono Cross.


Techs.  I've implemented Double/Triple techs just like in Chrono Trigger!
I also recently figured out how to have the battler sprites have custom screen movements/animations for every double/triple tech.


Items


Using a Double Tech


After Winning


Other features:
26 custom status buffs/ailments

Things I plan on implementing:
Graphics for basically everything
Animations for everything
Create all the items
Config option in menu (the only part of it that isn't 95% complete)
ABS and Platformer type gameplay while you aren't in battle

I'm not much of an artist or spriter, so most of the graphics used are basically placeholders until I create something good.  I've created a few charsets so far, but that's about it.

Anyway, it's very ALPHA STAGE right now, but what do you guys think?

That looks great eclipse, is the battlesystem already complete? The menu system also looks very crisp except for the avator pics which look a little out of focus, although that might just be my screen actually.
