As a guy with no experience with coding, what engine should I use for an RPG project?
2025.02.02 04:01 Shrubbity_69 As a guy with no experience with coding, what engine should I use for an RPG project?
As the title states, I am a complete noob when it comes to game dev, so I'm looking for an engine that's more on the beginner friendly side, if possible. I do have some ideas on what I want the project to be like to help you guys give feedback. I've definitely been going back and forth between RPGmaker and Gamemaker, but feel free to suggest something else.
Here's the basics of what I want the project to be like:
-The project is going to be a monster collector that looks like an old Gameboy Color game, similar to Pokémon Crystal or rom hacks like Emerald Seaglass. I honestly love those aesthetics and that will be a deciding factor in what I choose to use. From what I've heard, RPGmaker is relatively easy to learn but the majority of games it produces look very similar to each other, so I'm iffy on using it.
-The game will have an extensive elemental system, but I want to experiment with how stats interact with elements or types. The types will categorized as "physical" or "magical" on a type by type basis, similar to how old Pokémon games worked, but the twist here is that if a monster in my game (I'm still brainstorming what to call the monsters) shares a type with an attack, they instead default to which ever offensive stat is higher for that attack. The goal here is to help the game feel retro but still allow players to use what ever appeals to them and not have it suck. This is a bit of a spin on the idea of a "physical/special split", to use a term from the Pokémon fandom.
-To add on to the type system, I also want status ailments and buffs/debuffs to play a bigger role in a casual player experience. In a lot of rpgs, inflicting status effects or using moves that debuff your opponent aren't usually the most viable strategies to use. In terms of statuses, it's not uncommon for a boss to be immune to things like sleep, paralysis, burn, poison, etc., so using moves that inflict status effects are basically useless, since only mooks are affected by them, and why would you do that if you can just knock them out in a turn or two? Moves that raise or lower stats in battle are in a similar boat, especially debuffs, since it's a turn spent not dealing damage. While I know I can't find a perfect solution to this problem, an idea I've had is to include moves that interact with these mechanics, such as attacks that get boosted or get special effects when the opponent has a status effect or if the user was debuffed/opponent buffs themselves. Additionally, I definitely want to take some inspiration from Persona 5 and include a mechanic similar to "technicals", which is essentially a special type of crit that's triggered when a target with a certain status effect is hit by a certain element.
-I also want to include some modern (mainline) SMT influence and allow players to heavily customize their party and really make their monsters their own. Ideas I've been considering is using an alignment (Law, Neutral, and Chaos, possibly? I'll have to think about it) and "race" (I'll probably use the term clan or tribe in my project to avoid tasteless undertones. "Race" in SMT is basically a monster's mythological archetype and I'm basically using a version of it here) system to categorize monsters for use in fusion (fusion won't make hybrids of species like Pokémon Infinite Fusion, if you're familiar with that fan game) and breeding. I've also thought about an affinity or "skill potential" (in a similar vein to SMTIVA or SMTV) system that determines what types of moves (and the power of said moves) a certain species can learn or inherit, which is my way of avoiding players from making identical builds and slap the best moves on their teams and encourage creativity in team building.
I don't know how difficult those ideas would be to implement into a game engine without writing some new code to accommodate it, but do you guys know of an engine that would be the best at handling that?
I really appreciate you guys for reading this.

2025.02.02 04:01 Aggravating_Share761 Investing in Vietnam as Vietnamese American
Hey for some context, I was born and raised in Vietnam for 10 years, but now I am 20 year old about to graduate from a US college soon (UCI - Business) . I am looking to move back to Vietnam for 5-6 years after graduation.
Context: My family own $5-6M worth of real estate in Saigon (commercial, apartment units, single-family) mostly in district Binh Thanh, Q1, Q3.
Passive Income ($6-7k monthly) - No Debt
Inheritance from other family member: $500k USD cash
Savings from working in US: roughly 1B in VND
Since, I haven't live in Vietnam for so long, I do not have proper perspective and experience of how to fit in Vietnam society. I just know that the inheritance can yield good interest from the bank. Even though I don't have to move back, let assume that I have to. Please give genuine advice about investing in apartment (leasing) and starting a family life / culture! I speak perfect Vietnamese and English.

Doc suggested a compression sleeve during healing. I'm feeling a lot better but am still sore. I'd like to get back into hiking/martial arts but am worried that I might need more support. Thoughts? Should I get a brace for these activities?

2025.02.02 04:01 rohitsarna Got my M4 and battery is draining a lot
 | Hey everyone, I got my momentum M4 today and have been testing them since. No doubt they are one of the best sounding wireless headphones, but i have been observing excessive battery drain. It’s just been about an hour and the battery has dropped from 90% to 30%. I was on transparency mode and audio resolution was standard. All setting seems standard but i do not know if it’s something with the app or what. I did sound personalisation and thats listen to a few tracks. I am on 2.13.38 firmware and i am pretty sure its not normal. I haven’t charged to a 100% since i unboxed them and not drained a 100% but they were already drained when I unboxed. Also i used apple music on share play while listening to audio at 50-60% volume. Any suggestions or opinions are appreciated.

2025.02.02 04:01 Appropriate_Chard248 Overturn of the Democratic Process in Tennessee Legislature
 | Neighbors, I’m adding this post as a complement and clarification to the post from yesterday about the threat to voter’s rights in Tennessee. The poster was right to call our attention to this alarming government overreach, but in their haste to spread the word, I think there’s more confusion. House Bill 6001 is NOT an attempt to reinforce the already criminally prosecutable act of voting illegally. It IS an attempt to control the votes of our legally elected representatives in local government with threat of criminal prosecution if they do not comply with the policies the state and federal government want to push. I’ve included a screenshot highlighting the most egregious undermining of democracy I’ve seen yet. This bill, which has passed in the House and will move to the Senate, is a blatant suppression of the legislative process. Our representatives will not be able to vote as they, guided by their constituents, see fit without being convicted of a Class E felony. The focus on sanctuary city status and illegal voting are red herrings. This law would set a precedent that our government can legally control the way our elected officials vote on our behalf. This is not to be taken lightly. Please, do not distract from the danger this poses to democracy. Reach out to our state senators to implore them to shut this bill down. submitted by Appropriate_Chard248 to nashville [link] [comments] |

2025.02.02 04:01 trcocam29 Fire resistant safe decisions
Hi all. Hoping for some guidance on buying a safe. We already have a hidden safe room, although it was not installed by us, and so I can't be sure of it's specifications, especially when it comes down to how fire resistant (or not) it may be. Budget isn't important, but equally not looking to throw money away unnecessarily. It doesn't need to be terribly large, although we aren't restricted on size either; main focus is on fire resistance. What are the best on the market in this regard? Are there high end options that aren't so heavy as to exclude self installation?

2025.02.02 04:01 ViktorNovikov Romance seems to be bugged/impossible after tiefling party
Still in act 1, trying to romance shadowheart in a multiplayer save. None of us had anything happen at the party since it was quite early and we didnt have much approval with anyone. We're still in act 1, I've gotten the wolf and shar dialogues, and my approval with shadowheart is now at 40, but theres no dialogue besides the "how am i holding up" thing, and no matter how many times I long rest, the "we missed a chance to really connect" dialogue never comes up. Are we locked out of romance because we killed the goblins too early? I know it's not a polyamory issue since on a test save i removed all romanced with cheat engine and the issue persisted. We did the tiefling party like 10 hours ago in gameplay so reloading isnt an option. On my solo save I was able to do it fine, since I had high approval before the party, but I'm also not getting the wolf cutscene.

2025.02.02 04:01 GunmanZer0 Thoughts on this (temporary) N scale layout plan
 | I can’t start building a big layout til later this year, and I wanted to have a smaller one to run trains on in the meantime. This is what I’ve come up with. All the stuff on it will eventually be able to be transferred to the big layout when the time comes. I don’t plan to do anything special with this. I’d just like to have it as a place to be able to run a train, and maybe do a tiny bit of operations (hence the two sidings and the runaround track) but I will probably mainly set the train running and just let it do its thing. Feedback is appreciated. submitted by GunmanZer0 to modeltrains [link] [comments] |
