Compression can be a bit hard. I had an hard time figuring how to use Seq( do do Illusiat 13 compression. Finally I just compressed the item list and it was trial and error because I could never figure out what argumentd did x.x, plus for the rest of the data, each numbers were a different amount of digits

Nice, sounds not too complex either. Btw how will stats be like? I mean, max level, max HP possible, experience required for each levels? I know some people get trouble with the experience part, I could maybe give some ideas if you need any.

I'm thinking along lvl 100 for the max level, and max HP/MP possible may be 99999? or may be 9999 idk
they are pretty high, since I do plan to implement linked multiplayer gameplay, where you actually get to trade items, battle each character in both 1v1 style or tactics style, and such...

For exp., I will probably do some math formula, like int(20(1.3^L

Wow, I like it. It's nice, simple, and small enough the user can remember it all.  Nice work!

Writing the whole storyline for the game... It's going to be complex with non-linear story... I'm about to write the whole history of the land (I haven't even named the land yet...) starting from the Creation of the whole world, since the storyline will actually involve gods and stuff... or at least that's what I am visualizing.

Awesome!  Sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you, but I'm sure it will be great and well worth it.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Will you put this story in the read-me or will it be at the begining of the game, like Illusiat 13?  (To me it depends on the size.)

well, since this story will influence a lot of what the characters do, I probably will incorporate it within the game... And not at the beginning of the game. I want something like, the character doesn't know anything, but discovers what happened in creation of the world and through that users get to know the whole storyline...
i think i kind of worded in confusing way :S

Cool!  I like storylines that reveal themselves farther and farther in the game.

Sorry, I've been playing Pyoro and Reuben's Quest... Although I am thinking about the storyline tho. They are getting kind of interesting, and I need to think of multiple endings since the storyline won't be linear. The ending will depend entirely upon the player's choice of action and the characters' growth...

Lol nice :P At least you still do some calc stuff ^^ and watch out cuz when I play Pyoro I can be addicted :P

EDIT: Btw The Reign Of Legends 1 had multiple endings. It was my only game to have any. However some were rather hard to trigger, as they were based on your friendship with each of your characters. If it was good, you could see additional cutscenes, altough very short. I think I remember something got unlocked in the game when seeing all of them. I don't remember if you could see multiple endings in one game either or if you had to restart a New Game + (chrono trigger style) several times in a row. Friendship between characters was also based on your battle actions. I think healing characters made it rise
