Are you going for a thing where players do lore theories

If they want.

A lot of monsters will have weird names with no direct explanations.

I always liked that about Zelda.

"Pol's Voice"

MatPat time

Also in the second walk cycle the lineshading on the last frame seems too dark

Or too much

Oh these are all suuuuper incomplete.

Did anyone else have discord issues?

Non.

Host was unreachable

It just came back for me

I havent been on lately

The character design reminds me of a mix between Zelda and Kingdom Hearts @Scribblehatch

Nice saitama pic

Also that monster is just a mammoth with extra tusks in a shadow mud thing

You didn't even decide what you wanted or what it's purpose is

You're doing this backwards

@FrostyCrits yeah some of my messages were unsent but I blame my phone

Guess it was a hiccup

I once came up with an RPG idea. I have the story nearly fully fleshed out. @Scribblehatch

I've been sitting on it for two years

It starts with a cliche fantasy medieval context. Very basic and cliche

It's meant to be, for what happens later

By the end it goes as far as the best games out there I'd say. The reason is because it was set up to be bland and predictable

Gets flipped on it's head a quarter of the way in, then the last half of the game is when gameplay picks up and the story gets complex.

With more freedom for the player

I worked with new RPG maker scripts that include timed attacks.

A system that, when you cast a spell, it requires you to input a combination of buttons

So instead of just selecting a spell on a menu, you really have to memorize the combination

This adds to the feeling of accomplishment and skill appreciation

Select Magic then input A, A, Up, Down, it may cast something specific

multiple levels of casting? or all or nothing?

Yes multiple levels

The stronger magic is longer combinations

I'm more into the strategy than the memorization.

With fighter characters, their advanced abilities work the same

no, i mean.. the combo is 4 buttons long, you get 3 and botch the 4th. Does it still cast at 75% or just fail?
