How about groups? You know how FE has armies right? Crimean army, Lyndis Legion, Gruel Mercenaries, so-and-so. SP members should be arranged in groups based on their socializations with eachother. For example, you, me, John, Jack, Pablo, and so-and-so can work as a team. In the case of enemies, why not toss zombies to the mix as well? Other noticeable teams may go something like: DarkGoronGalaxy: -Sarah -Ryan -Kevin Of course, the limit to a team or "army" is up to you. This is just a thought floating in my head as well. Oh, and everyone should have a creative move list (please, no overpowered ones), and if anyone tries to be all "I GO SUPER SAIJYIN AND KICK EVERY1'Z ASS! TEH PWNZORZ!" please, give them the guillotine (jk, on the death penalty...). If we must, perhaps a "colorful" and "cool" vision of these, instead of cheap fantasies. MAJOR EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRANDON, CHECK THIS OUT!!!! http://tkool.jp/products/rpgxp/eng/ |

I know Juan already posted RPG Maker XP but here is the new version that just came out a few months ago. I might look into this myself actually... http://tkool.jp/products/rpgvx/eng/Here's another program I've been playing around with as well: http://game-editor.com/ This one gives you a lot of functionality for free...the only thing the pay version has that the download version doesn't is the ability to export to cell phones. It's not specifically for RPGs but they can be made. EDIT: I researched the RPG Maker series and it seems that while it gives you a lot of functionality as far as world creation, the battle engine has gotten some criticism for it's over-reliance on text, which can make some battles confusing, and for its lack of character artwork in the battle screen (version XP seems to have the characters though...so maybe that battle system is a bit better?) There is also apparently a lot of limitations on custom tile bitmaps that can be implemented into the game engine, which is a huge downer. ANOTHER EDIT: RPG Maker XP's only limits are really the software itself, so go for the one Juan linked to. The battle system is Dragon Quest-style first person with character art for the player's party, but it can be customized to anything you like through the use of coding. |

Whoopsie  , O well we have something of use . I'd like to change some of the sprites myself though. Hopefully we don't have to put up with only the characters the game comes with. |

I think XP can have as many sprites as you want...but I haven't used it yet so I couldn't tell you. Game Editor allows almost complete freedom and I've been playing around with it for a few weeks...it's nice.
I just started posting on their forums today so I can get some info from more experienced users. I'm getting kind of tired of waiting for our programmer to do stuff on the game projects I've been working on so I think I'll get to know this software myself...maybe even make SoA...

Perhaps you could do this as some kind of joint project with Juan, seeing as he made a similar thread concerning an SP game a while ago. |
