I love VX Ace. I've made little games just to kill time. Never tried to make a full RPG. Good luck to you.

Thank you! But yeah, it'll be difficult

Question 1: That depends, if the map will have the battles make them happen not so often. Also, add secrets to the world map as a reward to people who explore it, like secret places, maybe you can make some of the users here to be some people who live alone in the woods and can ask you for quests for nice things, or a secret dungeon you unlock with a item you found somewhere and that will have some great reward, some secret bosses (can be superbosses) and things like that.

You could also add a certain someone that will turn into his really cool dragoon form

Actually I was thinking along those lines to begin with actually XD the Dragoon part may be difficult. But I'll see what I can do

Nice thread StarOcean! Does sound like it's coming along nicely.

Also for world map encounters try and zone each area of the map so different enemies appear with different backgrounds and music or whatever. Whilst the idea Anfebious put forward is a good one, on the world map you'll be ending up with a good few events anyway So I'd rather the game handled it in its own way.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

About the boat, arship, if Ace is anything like the one I used (XP), it's really simply.
You just add them and make them work will be natural, boats you choose the tiles it can and can't cross over, lile it can cross only normal water but can cross deep water, to that you would need a ship, and of course they can't cross land, and the airship can cross everything but you make it land just in places you want as clear plains, so you can hide things with dense florest, rocks, water, etc so the airship alone won't bring you everywhere.

That's quite right. Just don't try battles on airships... That was very strenuous.

It doesn't wanna work with me it seems XD we'll see how it ends up. Its annoying, but I'll probably figure it out. Thank you for the tip though!

2 thumbs up from me for yout thread. I wish I could help you but I sucked at RPG Maker when I tried it first and never really went back.

Would have preferred without an active time battle, but hey it's your game, not mine.

Do you make your own graphics and tiles or use premade ones?

I want to be in the game. You can put me anywhere. I won't have a shirt and I'll be a huge braggart.
lines like "HO HO HOOOO DO YOU EVEN LIFT"
and,
"COME TO LEARN THE SECRETS OF MY STUNNING POSE TECHNIQUE, HAVE YOU?"

stuff like that. Take notes from the gym scene in Midgar from ff7.

Also, I'd like to have a secret rivalry with Rol that I talk about under my breath. Make the reason something petty like he cut me in line one time, or he said my world famous honey tart was just average.

If enough people voice against active time battle, that's fine with me. Means less work on my end XD so it can change if that sort of demand exists.

This project is purely pre-made graphics. The next game is going to have my own. This game is a test run.
