Hi guys,
I really enjoy tackling game development and such from a pen and paper standpoint but there's always been a couple of elements that leave me a little confused, one that seems to rear its ugly head more often than most is stat, reward and difficulty balance. I get that searching for the perfect synergy is akin to finding the Holy Grail but I've got a pretty basic system design and I'm hoping some of your more talented folk can help put in the groundworks for me.
I currently have a stat system that consists of 5 stats, current names are just placeholders
STR
DEX
INT
VIT
CHN
The player spends experience points to increase a stat in the field of their choosing. I have two types of missions, PvE and PvP. The PvE will simply be a random mission delivered in text form and players register to participate. As the level, stats and number of players varies greatly, I'm not sure how to balance it so that the mission will not always be loss/win and not totally random or based on pure chance.
The PvP missions will see a random mission delivered in text form and players from 2 different factions/teams register to participate. As one team could potentially have 50 players and the other 22, and all with varied stats, I'm not sure how to solve it. Obviously total # of players, level and stat should play a part but I need to create something that still offers some level of balance.
I'd greatly appreciate any help/advice on the matter. Maths is not my strong point

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.
