Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)
Hey guys! We're going to hold off on releasing the video for a little longer to flesh it out some more. Our schedules are pretty incompatible for the last part of the Nov so we were pushing to have it done before the 21st, but that probably won't be the case.
I'm currently on day 4 of integrating the H system into the game. As expected RPG Maker is putting up a fight with its limitations, but so far things have been really successful. I'm currently working on finding the correct solution to the engine's non existent AI, which I think is the most critical portion to getting things the way I designed it. Essentially the big hurdle to overcome is enemies' inability to intelligently choose a target based on the skill they've chosen to use for a turn (or vise versa), which is pretty crucial for the H system since skills chain off of one another and have a lot of requirements for whether the skill is available for use or not. So yeah, that's what I'm working on at the moment!
Thanks, glad you like the art!
Is your battle scene an own scenario or a scripted version of the standard rpg maker battle system?
If the first, can't you just give every attack a variable and do a conditional branch check for the variable? It may be a problem with priorities which can bug the game bigtime if you don't have a planning sheet beforehand, but it is the easiest way to program a pseudo AI into an rpg maker game.
For example, If heroine A uses a gun, the /last attack/ variable is 15, and if the switch /enemy A shielded/ isn't set and it has the shield skill it uses a shield against guns. Albeit I bet there is an easier way that I didn't think of, since it is lots of work this way.
There is a good example of that faux AI in Enokipus/Enokiffus Arena H-Game, which consists of common events mostly, and changes patterns depending on your status, your amount of clothes, your horniness and other things.

Are you some kind of russian btw? Your artstyle reminds me more and more of dmitry, who is a former famed steampunk and futa hentai artist.
