This map is gonna take a longgg time therefore it is not expected to be done by the end of this summer.  Let me explain.  A longgggg rpg with 4 people in it.  These 4 people will make up a party.  Red...the main characted will control the party..  Turn battle sequence....it will be like FF10 rpg...battle music...each characted has a unique skills.  Red = Main Unit = Fighter.....Blue = Range Unit = Range......Teal = Quick Unit = Speed.....and Purple = Average Unit = Summoner....during battle you can either attack, retreat, use skill, or use item..trust me this is bigg and will be fun.  I got my idea from another map but can't seem to recall its name...this will be big and you will see when I am done..I promise you will like it!!!!

I hope you have more ideas on your map besides a battle system.

Red...the main characted will control the party..

Does that mean he will control the other players characters as well (In battles, Player 1 does all of the deciding while Players 2-4 sit and watch their sprites move)?

Lethal of course not...that would be boring and there would be no point in having it be 4 players. The red player controls the party so when they move around the map it is basically just red playar moving but players 2-4 help in battle and quests and puzzles such as riddles and all...

So the party can roam away from Player 1 or are they restricted to a location around him, and wherever he goes they have to go?

Lethal...no there is one unit....lets say a DT controlled by Red...the DT is called the party...Red roams around and does the moving in Party Mode....the other player fight and help him....Just like FF RPGS and all...

m.r.bob: I don't like maps where player one has more things he can do then the other players.

Obviously, the other players would be rather bored being excluded from everything except the battles. I suggest you use a different system.

Turn base itself is risky when implemented into RPG, because it adds to the time needed both to make and play the game. Having someone else control where you go will take away an element usually found in RPGs, freedom. The only person having "fun" will be you when beta testing the map because you will know where to go next, etc. mellow.gif Harsh words, but "good medicines are bitter but will heal the disease". Chinese proverb.

ADD: Are you the same Dragoon-elf who made Truer Diablo 2 RPG(it says Dragon-elf in the link dry.gif)? That was a very good map.

Turn based combat taking away fun elements in rpgs? ermm.gif So you think someone taking away the ability of freedom downgrades an rpg? I don't think so, it just takes away the independence of the storyline. a True rpg with these concepts would still have a huge fun factor. A True rpg would be something that follows through with a story-line, and sometimes this requires less freedom of roaming on a game(notice all the FF'S restrict how you go about things, many other rpgs do too). If you want an rpg that is not like this, they are called Open Rpgs, and usually don't have a particular story involved in them.

This map sounds like it might be somewhat good, but you really must give alot more detail and information. Such as an overlook of the storyline, ideas on setting, timezone, events going on, what type of viewpoint the story will be in, etc. You didn't really give enough information to criticize it, or even post it in here.

Give us more info please, goodluck on your map.

The system of player 1 controling the party movements is in my Samurai's Destiny RPG as well. Expect that when you enter a town, the players will no longer have to move as a party.

I realize that having 1 person moving would make it more fun for that person...HOWEVER THE WHOLE POINT OF AN RPG WOULD BE TO SEARCH NEW AREAS....So I don't think that I will be the only one having fun on a beta test...to me KNOWING WHERE TO GO....is a lot boringer that Searching new areas....and it could be boring but I am making it funner....Also Turn Base Combat is the type of fighting most people like....And what is Faith and Destiny???

The two parts, colored in red, are in conflict with each other. If you know so much about turn-based combat, how could you not know F & D?

You might not have seen my other question. Were you the one who made Truer Diablo 2?
