Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 Some of you may recall me talking about a in game sport minigame for Sanctuary called Dragon's Ball. It was planned to be similiar in design to blitzball of final fantasy x(2) but I suck that game(I have never won)so I changed some things around and made it work easier for eventing purposes. Here is what I have done so far, it is a bit buggy, but I hope that it can provide a good idea of what I'm looking for and someone can help me with the design of it. The rules: Teams Hero: The person who jumps for the ball(basketball style) at the beginning), and the person who does all the scoring attempts. They can also pass to Allies to move closer to the opponents goal, making scoring easier.(buggy) 2 Allies: Does no function right not except accept pass from Hero and attempt to throw it back after the Hero moves(automatically) Guardian: Guards the goal. Scoring When the Hero attempts to score, his/her ATK(original value / 10 so that is around 2-4 usually) is put against the number of squares between the Hero and the Guardian and the Guardians DEF(same as ATK formula) If the ATK is higher than the combined DEF and distance then it succeeds. That team gets a point. First team to 7 points win. Regardless of of the outcome of the scoring attempt, the ball is turnover to the other team. Passing The Hero may pass the ball to one of his/her Allies(doesn't matter which right now). The Hero then jumps forward one space towards the guardian. If the Hero is directly next to the other Hero when moving, the latter is pushed back as well. After moving, the Ally attempts a pass back, depending on several factors(which I can't remember) it will succeed or fail. Failing results in turnover. Succeeding results in a forced score attempt. Notes: The red team turn is a bit glitched, not sure how to fix... Download (RMVX RTP Required) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltome 16 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 The rules scroll too fast. Typo in the explanation, garuteed(this isn't an actual word is it?) There is a call showing the ball possession in the end of the rules. The game seems to be too slow. The red team striker doesn't go back when the hero advances until he is behind her back, he also phases trough her. Horo only seems to advance when passing to Theo and then shoots after recieving back the ball. I get the ball as soon as the red team claims it.(I assume that's the bug with the red team you mention) I don't seem to be able to score, even when I get Horo into the red keeper's tile. Overally the idea has potential, the character of the game is quite evident, but the gameplay is hardly functional. There are potential problems with the current design, the lack of randomness makes for a too predictable experience, it seems to promote a tugowar between the two Heroes while the rest of the team just stand in place. I'd like to see more mobility and actual control over who goes where or does what. Also it's not good to limit the abilities of the characters, if the hero is the only one who can shoot it will be enough to gang up on him to make it impossible for the other team to score. If you want to make a game like that I'd recommend you check out "Tecmo cup" for the sega genesis. I do like sport rpg so I'm interested in helping, at least with design for now.

Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted January 1, 2013 I was thinking about it last night, and I'm going to look into some of the available minigame scripts available and see if I can use those, as this is beyond my eventing ability... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
