First of all this project will take about two years to make I already have 90% of the story and characters down and also somebody to draw the characters and sprites as I see fit. Now I am looking to work on actually putting this game together but I need some help. First up is the battle system I want a system geared toward a more Final Fantasy Tactics battle system with an advanced array of options such as throwing weapons (Shuriken, Kunai) to blunt weapons like a sword. I am still learning on coading and I am not very good at this time but as a quick learner I do expect to have it down with a little help.

Secondly cut scenes are going to be a huge part of this game I will need a cut scene list that will add anything from attacks to straight up battle. I plan to make cut scenes sort of a regular thing since story is to play a big part here.

Last but not least what could I do to actually represent throwing or sword fighting in a cut scene? Do I actually give the sprites swords at different angles in such when making them as well as the standard or is there soemthing simpler?

The first I can't help with, battle stuff is not my thing.

The second, I am not sure what you mean by "I need a cut scene list". If you are planning on having a bunch of cut scenes I strongly suggest you get very comfortable with variables and switches, as well as the many other event commands in event menu. There are plenty of tutorials in the tutorial section that will help you.

Third - yes, if you are wanting animations such as throwing and sword fighting you will need custom graphics.

Thank you than I will make sure I have the custom graphics. And basically just want to know how to make cut scenes work, I am looking at a few tutorials now. Thanx for the help.

You have several unrelated questions here. Please post unrelated questions in their own threads, so they can go into the appropriate areas (script requests have their own area, for example), as well as to make it easy to see what's resolved and what you still need help with.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
