  1. Randomly Falling Boulders & Damaging Player on Impact

    Hi everyone, So I've been searching everywhere for a tutorial on how to make falling boulders on the map screen (or any falling object for that matter) that interact and damage the player, but found nothing. So I decided to tinker about for a bit, and I'm happy to say, it works perfectly! Now...

    RMMZ Item-Based Battle System?

    Looking for a deck-building battle system where you combine items or cards as a primary form of attack. Similar to Epic Spell Wars where each turn instead of picking an attack skill you would pick an item (or multiple items) to use and those items deal attacks to monsters with various combo bonuses.

    How Much of a Skill Resource (MP, etc) For Party Members?

    EDIT: As suggested by @TheoAllen, changed the thread name for a more accurate description. By now, I'm safe to say that I like discussing JRPG theory. Thread about the numeric scale of stats and damage, and what the roles of healers/support characters should be like, inspired this idea. How...

    Hi! I have a Bard class, and I am having trouble implementing a game mechanic related to activating and deactivating certain skills during battle. The bard has two skill types: "VERSE" and "CHORUS". CHORUS skills are basically stronger versions of VERSE skills, but can only be used when a...

    Noob needs help moving npc's from one location to the next after battle

    OK, so I am very new, and I've spent about 70 hours doing basic stuff with RPG Maker MV. I want to try my hand at a short comedic game where you play as a powerful demon that can't seem to kill anyone, so when she defeats an enemy, they just get placed in her dungeon. The dungeons start filling...

    How to make a profile menu?

    I'm not sure how else to describe it. I want to make a profile menu, similar to the one in Ace Attorney games, where you can look at profiles of various people you've encountered and see images/descriptions of them. It's for a detective game I'm working on. Is there a script for this or some way...

    Unique Ailment

    I am attempting to create an enemy-only ailment that causes the afflicted to suffer 25% of all the damage dealt to the caster. Essentially I want it to have the effect that while damaging this foe you will also harm the afflicted teammates. I can't seem to figure out how to go about with this...

  10. Use of a Second Language in Game

    G'day All, I am very new to RPG Maker, but am really impressed with what I have seen. I am interested in using a second language within a game and am wondering if it is possible. I would love any of your thoughts and feedback on the idea. I want to caveate that I don't know what I am talking...

    Permadeath? Should it be done?

    I've had an idea for the past couple of days, but I'm unsure whether or not it'd seem 'fun' or 'fair' to the player character. The idea is basically this: When you first die (I'm unsure if it should be scripted or not), you'll encounter yourself in a horror setting where you have to escape from...

    How could I represent "relaxation" as a game mechanic?

    The title says it all, I think :) How would you go about making a game mechanic that represents the feeling of relaxing? Celeste had the player "blow" on a feather to keep it aloft, but I didn't find that particularly effective for me. I find "bejeweled"-type games relaxing to play, but they...

    How Many Bosses?

    Okay, so I'm obsessed. With making bosses.:kaoluv: However, for the sake of length in a game, how many bosses do you think is enough? My game has a crazy amount of chapters, so could I put one for every chapter? However, most bosses aren't too long. (P.S: I'm developing a tactics game.)

    Adapting game mechanics across systems and generations

    So I've been kicking around the idea of doing a legend of the dragoon de-make in rpgmaker, mostly just to entertain myself. Now, you don't need to have to play the game to get this, but just know the main crux of the combat is that like paper mario, characters deal more damage with timed button...

  18. What are you thoughts on Voice Acting?

    So my friend thought it would be cool to have voice acting in my game, but I think it just makes games bigger, as alot of people just skip the voices. But what are your thoughts about this feature?  :unsure:

Before, I was drawing all the sprite work, super big and shrinking it down. Which was really time consuming if thing's changed. So instead I'm drawing the characters sketch, and then remaking it with pixel art instead.
