The game I'm making isn't gonna be very combat heavy, at all. The few fights that exist will be dedicated to boss battles (a few encounters with other stuff too but even then it's only like... 3, maybe?) which are intended to be very character driven anyway. As a result, the party leveling up and gaining [insert currency here] would be, well... yeah, fairly limited in terms of earning stuff from fights alone.

I had other ideas. Like characters leveling up as you interact with them and share certain dialogues. Finding money in weird places around the city. Maybe small interactions with random citizens and stuff depending on how you talk to them you can level up and/or acquire money, etc. I wanted to try adding hidden files/collectables or something that could give exp as well but I'm not sure how well that would work out, since I'm not sure if the engine is capable of journal style stuff.

Was wondering what people thought of this, and if anyone's ever attempted something similar beforehand.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
