Thanks guys! ;D

Question:  Should attacks do the same damage everytime, or should they vary randomly?
A: Yes  (Four of the same attacks could be: 200,203,198,201)  // Illusiat 11 like
B: No  (Four of the same attacks would be: 200,200,200,200)   // Illusiat 13 and Pokemon (minus critical hit) like

Make sense?  What do you all think?
This is pretty important, so I'd like some responses. ;D  Thanks!

Hmm that's an interesting question. I can see both ways being good and bad. For them always doing the same damage, you'll know the exact amount of damage itll do, so  you can plan better, but then it's not as challenging and unpredictable, where as if you have varying damages, its more lucky, and more challenging.

I'd rather have varying damages, because that makes the game funner and it also can make it harder.

Varying damage... Not too much varying tho, like 10-15 range? It would also be cool if each weapon has different varying range (at least that's how I'm going to do with TLM)

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)

Maybe if each weapon had a varying %. So some weapons would have a 1% varying damage, and some might have 5% or something (depending on the max damage it can do, etc.)

Looks like I'll do varying damage.  Though different weapon's with different damages is possible, I think it's already enough for the user to remember for different stats.

So, unless there are any objections, I'll use the varying damage method. ;D
Thanks!

varying might add more challenge, because you have to plan in function that the enemy might do greater damage than expected. Don't make the range too great, though, and don't have regular attack miss too often.

Some games say damage 80-140, for example, but this is actually an interesting implementation if you hide this %. This makes things even harder.

I think I'll have 10% on both the attack and defense.

Ex:
If an attack did 100 damage, then:
Attack loses 10% and Defense loses 10%  =   81%
Attack gains 10% and Defense gains 10%  =   121%
Attack loses 10% and Defense gains 10%  =   99%
Attack gains 10% and Defense loses 10%  =   101%
Attack gains 5% and Defense gains 5%     =   110.25%
Attack loses 5% and Defense loses 5%     =   90.25%

What do you think?

==============

In other news, the storyline is guarantied to be AMAZING!  Zera is going to write/help write the storyline, so it will be good.  I'm not sure how much will be changed, but when I wrote things I created plot holes by the billions. :)  Example: (Feel free to lol...)
Quote from: Zera on March 05, 2010, 09:08:38 am
...Alex's home self-destructing. Why would a person's home by armed with a self-destruct mechanism; and why would a third-party be able to activate this mechanism from an external computer? Poor Alex needs to invest in a better home-security system. :P ...
Thanks Zera! ;)

Jsj: I noticed you said you could help on it earlier; If you'd like to help just PM me. ;D (If you don't want to help, then that's fine too. :) ) Thanks!

Nice animations. I don't understand the bars meaning but seems cool to play. (I didn't read all the posts, lack of time lately to keep track of all this)

They seems to be mostly the progress/waiting bar until the character can do any action, typical in mid-90s RPGs



Illusiat 6 and ROL3 used them too. Here are the ones in ROL3 in action:
