So you mean like MMBN style battle with turn-based system applied?

jsj795 · « **Reply #346 on:** April 16, 2012, 09:51:25 pm »

yes, I guess it's very similar to Mega Man Battle Network battle system, except you would be able to go behind enemy, and it'll just be in 1 line instead of 3

For going behind enemy, you could do "looping arena".

I mean, I have my battle system pretty solid, but I was just asking if there is any game with this kind of battle system already.

And leaving the battle happens when you go out of battlefield

Hmm, I haven't seen one exactly like that.

I guess I'll be the first one to invent this kind of battle system then xD on calc too!

well, the only difference between yours and the others will be the dimension.

okay while I'm at it, another question. Do you guys want the save system to work everywhere in the game or should there be save points throughout the game?

Pros of making save possible at any point:
-Allows quick save/exit if teacher comes nearby (although I guess I can add in teacher key for that, and quick resume afterwards)
-If you need to stop playing but is not near the save point.

Pros of making save only at certain save points:
-Harder difficulty in general (forces you to try not to die since it will mean you have to start over again from last save point, discouraging save/load spamming)

I personally prefer saving anytime (it helps when I "try" the boss if I can beat it yet or not)

jsj795 · « **Reply #354 on:** April 16, 2012, 10:17:19 pm »

Well I'll be sure to definitely put in save points right before boss battles if I do go with save point system.

but okay 1 vote to saving anytime

^^^^^^^^^
Make that 2 votes.

jsj795 · « **Reply #356 on:** April 16, 2012, 10:23:50 pm »

Hmmm how about this? make saving anytime cost gold or something, while saving at saving point doesn't require anything. It could provide good gold sink and discourage saving-on-the-fly meanwhile still providing a way to do it.

Yeong · « **Reply #357 on:** April 16, 2012, 10:26:53 pm »

So you're talking about buying "saving diary" in the shop, right?

jsj795 · « **Reply #358 on:** April 16, 2012, 10:31:05 pm »

Hmmm that's actually a good idea. I was just thinking of not having to buy an item to save en route, but just take away certain amount of gold (and if you don't have that gold you can't save), but yours sound more effective.

I like save points with a quick save option. As far as examples of other games with a similar battle system... One of the Ultima game that Ranman ported to the 68k series kind of had something like that. Once you encounter an enemy on the overworld it goes to the battle screen. During each turn you can move within the combat area. You can only attack when near an enemy or when using weapons or magic that can hit from a distance. The same is true for enemies. When you reach a screen boundary you successfully "run" from the battle. The biggest difference though is that you could move in four directions (N,S,E,W) as opposed to just towards or away from the enemy. Ultima also had multiple enemies per encounter.
