Someday when we get around to converting the textbox format to reload, thus allowing more space for stuff, I'll totally add a textbox conditional that can do this. But don't wait for that feature. It is a 3-line plotscript plotscript, quit now script, begin game over end Thanks a ton! Now I've got ...

I've made a very simplistic game that consists of being assigned a fetch quest by an NPC, and one enemy to fight (who possesses the quest item). When you beat the enemy and return the quest item to the NPC, the NPC thanks the hero, etc. All of this is fine and working, but then the player is still t...

Thanks everyone. Great info and advice, some of which I've already put to use. I'm actually not trying to make a "fun" game yet, just trying to make the absolute bare minimum of content for a "complete RPG" (albeit highly condensed). I'm doing this to get a better grasp on the ba...

Thanks, that was a great answer. I had started with a totally balanced battle, realizing that it was a coin toss, and had started messing with the stats to make it more interesting but just made it less predictable. Thinking about it this way, I should be able to figure out how to balance my battles...

I know where to find the info on how stats/damage/etc work, but I don't understand why and I'm having trouble figuring out how to set hero and enemy stats to balance a battle. Assume a single Level 1 hero enters a room and there is one enemy inside that must be fought. The character has had the oppo...

Some ideas I've been working on.

Music For Games

Ok, I was wondering if something like that may not be the solution. I still have no idea how to go about accomplishing it though. Right now if you defeat the boss, he drops the Item and it goes into your inventory. How would I set it so that this turns the tag on without tying the tag to the item it...

There has to be a way to: *Make the King say two blocks of text the first time you talk to him. "Here's your quest! Have some money!" *Make the King default to the first block of text until the quest is complete. "Here's your quest!" *Make the King deliver another block when the ...

Yes, that's what I'm seeing too, but I don't know what else to tie the tag to. I want the alternate text triggered by the hero returning to the king with the item, as that is the quest. This seems like pretty basic stuff, it must be possible, but I'm a n00b and the HOWTO doesn't really cover much.

For the sake of this discussion ignore Text Boxes #1, #3, and #4, because they are used up for something irrelevant to my problem. We are dealing with Text Boxes #2 and #5-8. Anything above 8 is free. Here's what is going on: If you walk up to King and talk to him, he defaults to Text Box #2 under n...

SOOOOO... I'm trying to make a basic fetch quest in which King tells Hero to kill Boss and recover Item (only the first time, King also gives Hero some $$$). When Hero returns Item to King, King should take Item from Hero, Hero should receive Trophy, and then further attempts to talk to King should ...

Plus i kinda just want to build a replica of the Xavier Institute.

Well, the original game idea was ambitious beyond my ability level and is on hold until I figure out the things I need to know to make it happen. I still think about it and keep notes regarding how I want it all to play out. The second game (the one with posted images) was sort of a miniature test g...

...and one more.

More Silver Age madness.
