CROSS/ME: The RPG About Everything

It's Time for an Upgrade to Cross/Me's Combat System, and It's Up To You To Decide On It


Cross/Me’s Final Fantasy VII style of combat has existed for about 7 months now, and I believe it’s time for a change. It’s up to you to decide.

Pros and Cons of the New Engine Designs

Option 1: “Just keep it how it is, simple and fun!”
PROS:

  • Simple, easy to understand gameplay.

  • The ability to control a whole team.

CONS:

  • Slow game pace.

  • No free-for-all battle option.

Option 2: Board game type structure!
PROS:

  • Allows for more in-depth strategy.

  • The ability to control a whole team.

  • The ability to attack from different angles, opening doors for more interesting abilities.

  • Free-for-all battle options available.

CONS:

  • Even slower game pace.

Option 3: Side-scroller combat with MOBA-like ability activation!
PROS:

  • Much faster game pace.

  • Good players might have a chance of beating very powerful characters with much weaker ones if they play right.

  • Free-for-all battle options available.

CONS:

  • Only allows for control of one character per match.

  • Loss of some RPG elements, leading towards a Super Smash Bros. feel.

Thank you for helping me out! And do note, that if you do stick with the original FF7 combat, there will be minor tweaks to it that I’ll be putting in to make it a little better. But it won’t go any faster.

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

I did this on my 3DS ^^ #Kirby

A few screenshots of the places you'll cross in the Demo of Blu. You can play it today on #gamejolt !

Here's a Fredbear sprite i made in Aseprite! I'm pretty proud of this!

(Btw, sorry for the double post! I'll try to post less)

It's now possible to destroy some of the obstacles and gain access to new locations or create shortcuts. #gamedev #indiegame #rpg

I thought I would do a quick show and tell, with a 2 min video of the start of the game and some of the game elements, after many many months it is really starting to come together, time to start networking https://gamejolt.com/games/Dungeon_fable/490669
