Hey guys,
So I've ran into a bit of a conundrum, basically I'm developing a Doctor Who fan game and I've still not decided how I'm going to handle combat, I was originally looking into an ABS system because I prefer the idea of having all the enemies on the screen and sneak past them if you wish, and being able to use different abilities on the field eg, The Doctor with his sonic screwdriver ect. I was looking into various plugins but eventually discovered moghunter's chrono engine which has the tool system which would be perfect to get all The Doctor's tools working like the sonic screwdriver, psychic paper ect. The only problem with every abs plugin I've tried is ALLIES, you can't have party members fighting with you which takes away from the feel of Doctor Who I think. I was thinking I could use the other battle system in the chrono engine but the characters leap across the screen on that and again that wouldn't feel like doctor who, then I was thinking maybe a tactical battle system because then i can incorpate allies, they would each have different abilities and there would be some strategy and thinking involved which would feel slightly more like doctor who. I kinda want to implement the tool system.
I just wanted to ask for some opinions and advice on the subject.

Tonbi's MZ material factory
That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
