Oh, okay, I wasn’t sure how many teammates you were having, like Final Fantasy or not. Well you can still do the same thing, but like Super Mario Bros Super Star Saga.
That, except your partner attacks randomly…
Okay… I think i got the basic structure of the battle structure going, now just gotta make the logic for the system. Go to mhx battle to look
Mhx, sam is found in the over-world and immediately joins the party. He goes “hey Crystal and…uh oh” (remembers killing Mhx and fleeing) the moment he sees the Mhx and Aero his eyes glow dimmer… How would those two react, and what would crystal say to prevent a fight?
Basically give me some dialog from everyone so I know what I should add in or something similar?
whats my characters role?
We will get to that later. As a result of defeating the blue mage, Crystal and co. get sent into your characters dimension. They encounter him and he asks to help join Crystal, she accepts and then they find a way back into the over-world…
I’ve already imagined this situation.
Crystal is talking to Mhx and Aero, and Sam doesn’t see them behind Crystal, and says “Oh, I’m glad you found me. We need to talk, there’s a…”
Aero “Is that?.. IT’S THAT DICK!!!”
Mhx “What!? I’ll kill em!!” and shoves them out of the way, jumps into the air to do an air dive punch, and Aero does the same right after.
Sam “OH NO HOLD ON WAIT”
Mhx and Aero “HOLD THIS”
Blast a burst of lightning at Sam
Zooms in as Sam stares into the light
Crystal teleports in front of him and deflects the lightning with her shield
Crystal “STOP”
Sam “You saved me?..”
Mhx and C. Aero “What are you doing!? Move out of the way!!”
Crystal “WHAT DID YOU DO NOW, YOU IDIOT?”
Sam “Uh… I may have… accidently… killed one of them…”
Crystal “Accidentally!? HOW!?”
Sam “Lots of fire…”
Crystal “What!?”
Sam “He blew up… then everything went dark and she started crushing everything in rage…”
Crystal “WHY?”
Sam “Well it’s okay now, because I guess he’s alive again.”
Crystal Glares at Mhx and Aero “Incorporeals…”
Sam “What?”
Crystal “It means they’re immortal.”
Sam “Oh yeah, I think most people are in one way or another.”
Crystal glares at sam “. . .”
Mhx “So are we fighting or what?”
Crystal “NO”
Aero “Don’t tell me what to do.”
Crystal “Fight me about it, then!!.. Oh wait, no, I didn’t mean that!!”
Aero Cracks knuckles “Too late.”
Mhx and Crystal Aero teleport out of the sky and a battle begins, where Crystal and Sam must fight Mhx and Aero until someone loses, it doesn’t matter who loses, the end of the fight is them getting along and teaming up.
Wow… Amazing
What do they say when crystal loses or wins.
My guess is
Crystal wins
Crystal-“This escalated too quickly”
(Sam fainted at 3/4 of the fight because he used too much mana at once)
(You finish that because i dont know what they would say)
Crystal looses
(Instead of loosing at completely depleted health, she goes down at 4 health to avoid a game over sequence)
Crystal is on the ground hurt- “and this is what i was trying to prevent all along”
(Sam has also fainted)
Finish that too?
Also just as a pointer. The gold crest on sam’s hood is used in a move: self missile where he dolphin dives into enemy- ramming into an enemy. When he wakes up after the conversation, and he freaks out to the point uses this against Mhx, but fails to hit him. He instead hits Crystal, who deflects him, sending him into a nearby rock, and the rock turns to powder…
How about whoever loses, those two are doing a heavy breathing animation, but the dialogue is the same.
Mhx and Aero “Why’d you stop? This isn’t over.”
Crystal “That’s enough! We’re getting nowhere. If you die, you respawn, if Sam dies, he respawns, if I die, I respawn, but I have to start where I last saved, and I’m not doing this whole thing all over again. Besides, Sam was trying to tell me something, earlier.”
Sam “…”
Crystal “Well?”
Sam “uh…”
Crystal “WELL!?”
Sam “. . .” “I forgot.”
Crystal “Do you need me to jog your memory?” Holds up a fist
Mhx “I second this.”
Aero “Third.”
Sam “UH, HOLD ON, GIVE ME A SECOND.”
Runs to the right of the screen, then the left, right, left
Sam “…uh”
Crystal “UGH”
Sam “OH YEAH.” “Follow me.”
(Not sure what part of the story you want to go to, but just imagine Sam found something important that will make a big turn in the story, like a scroll, page from a book, broken gem, a staff, or a secret dungeon entrance.)
Wait a minute. Something tells me Mhx already realized what was going on but wanted to fight anyway…
Aero was just hungry for vengeance
Crystals not aware she has to save**
the continuation is sam leads them to a secret dungeon entrance-- the blue mage
That works. Mhx Air and Crystal Aero live for combat. The only reason they went to the void and found Crystal, is because they sensed a high power level in a place where it shouldn’t belong, and wanted to fight.
You make the game however you want. I’m a storyboard artist and script writer. I write stories all the time. Just don’t let me change your game anymore than you want it. It’s your game. I just have suggestions and advice if you need it.
I see it as everyones game. Some characters are your characters- so i need you to see how they would react to conflicts. Plus i could easily tweak little hiccups. So its fine
Plus your good at comedy. So thats a huge plus
Depending how the game goes, if I ever become a serious animator, I’ll probably steal the project, and rewrite it, to turn it into an animeish movie, or a multi episode mini saga, from Mhx Air and Crystal Aero’s point of view. I might have to rename some of the characters and places to give it a more appropriate tone, but trust me, in my head, it looks great, and you’d probably like it a lot.
Hey i fixed up some logic for the battle system. Ye
This is what the RPG battle system looks like.
@Luminous700 what do you think.
I would tag mhx but i cant
