RPG Maker Forums

So I am designing a RPG at the moment where you can combine attacks (in form of orbs) to perform a usually stronger attack, lets say for example I have fire element and a slash attack; combining it together forms a stronger fire slash attack. The orbs at the moment will come based on what equipment you brought in so if you brought in a blade weapon, you have access to slash orbs and having a shield that is magically augmented; gives you fire orbs to mix.

Currently these are the orbs I thought of so far

Offensive Orbs (For Attacking)
Physical Orbs (Close Range, Sus/Burst Damage)
  • Slash - counter
  • Blunt - def decrease
  • Pierce - knockback
Range Orbs (Far Range, Sustainable Damage)
  • Arrow - def decrease
  • Bullet - counter
  • Blast - knockback
Fire Orbs (Mid Range, Burst Damage) * Game story revolves around the element of fire only.
  • Mortal Flame - damage/time
  • Dark Flame- weaken
  • Divine Flame - stun
Support Orbs (Supplementary)
  • Mind (Attack Rate)
  • Spirit (Healing)
  • Body (Toughness)
  • Soul (Orb Generation)
  • Blood (Damage Buff)
As the number of combination is staggering, its obvious that not all orbs can combine with one another.

Some examples of possible combinations regarding some orbs could be like:

Fiery Slash (Slash + Mortal Flame) /buff/ Augment your blade weapon with fire that extends its reach and burns enemies by adding 80% fire damage for each slash for 3 turns, can counter

Blink Slash (Slash + Divine Flame ) /instant/ Summon 2 Lightning Blades in front of a random enemy and do a slash attack turning your attack to multi-target. Can stun and counter.

Dark Blade (Slash + Dark Flame) /buff/ Attack on already weakened enemies heals you 8 health per hit and increases your damage on them per hit. Chance to weaken enemy per hit by 10%

Rail Gun (Bullet + Divine) /instant/ All your shots pierces thru multiple enemies with a chance of stun and increase damage by 50%

Explosive Slam (Blunt + Blast) /instant/ Each swing of your hammer releases explosive fragments that deal 100% damage to enemies hit

Dark Arrow (Arrow + Dark) /instant/ Fire a dark arrow that deals 30 % damage on enemies per 0.2 seconds on contact. Chance to weaken enemy. Damage increases on weakened enemy


So which is to say what do you think of this system? Any opinions about it if its plausible..? Not plausible? too complex? Has potential or not..? Any people out there who played something similar?

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.
