    Element States Ideas?

    I was wondering what elemental state ideas people could come up with, as I'm trying to think of simple very basic ones for each element. If you're using any of them in your own games or you want to share either basic or complex examples to either help out or share your thoughts for discussion...

    How are maps managed when battles are processed?

    So, I have this theory brewing on managing lag in battles when you have various things going on in maps (looping animations, lots of events, maybe parallaxes, etc).

    How do you configure weapon/armor resistances?

    I have a wonderful little table of weapon types on one axis and armor types on another, with digits of 1 to 9 in each cell to show things like that chain mail resists piercing, plate mail resists slashing, but plate mail is way too conductive of heat to be much use around plasma weaponry. I'm...

    Skill Tree Theory and Design: Size, Leveled Skills, Balance, etc.

    Skill / talent trees are a way of granting the player choice in developing their character, particularly within the confines of a fixed class.  Yet balancing them is rather difficult.   How many skills does a good skill tree have?  Should skills be purchased with skill points from level ups...

    Conspiracy Theories!?

    Do any of you subscribe to any? Did we really land on the moon? Are chem trails real? What are the 13 secret herbs and spices in KFC's chicken!? I have been reading up on the hollow earth theory.. It is fascinating and would make for a super cool aspect of any rpg game me thinks.

    Trading Functions [Cross-Save File/Cross-User]

    Hi everyone, I've been making a little project of sorts and as I was designing the crafting systems I got a flash of an idea. Now, I'm no scripter, and my eventing skills are telling me that simply events won't do here. I'm looking to know if either of these ideas are possible within the...
