Rezzy Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 5 minutes ago, Von Ithipathachai said: The closest thing to giving a weapon the Mercy Skill that I think you can do natively in SRPG Studio is make every hit reduce a target's HP to 1 and deal no damage if its HP is already at 1, i.e. the Hel tome in FE4.Β That could be very broken against boss enemies. Might be better to just give Rezzy a 1 Might tome in addition to the regular Thunder tome for weakening then.Β Also, we may want to remove my extra crit skill as not to steal kills accidentally, maybe it make it extra hit rate instead or something like Charm.

When Jagen himself doesn't fit the distinction of a Jagen in a "Jagen orΒ Oifey" scenario, you know there's a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathaco Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh, nice, it's done! I'll have to get around to playing it once exams are done. As for a portrait, I have no artistic experience, so I can't really provide anything, I'm afraid.Β I'm OK with just a recolored portrait,Β especially considering I'm going to look nothing like my in-game representation. If I had to pick something, I'd probably say Lyn's portrait with Erk's hair color, maybe with red clothing as well. But honestly, I don't have too much of a preference. Whatever's easiest for you.

Bishops, Sages, and Druids have Critical +15 as a Class Skill just like Swordmasters, Sentinels, Berserkers, Snipers, and Rogues.Β The reason for this is so that promoting to Bishop/Sage/Druid has the same net advantage as promoting to Mage Knight.Β It was the best thing I could come up with. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DpCprIwrt4DOAkUm08deKkryBbZVD62C4M5p_hMczn4/edit?usp=sharing This is the spreadsheet containing the current class data for Serenes Forest Emblem.Β If you look on the Class Balancing sheet, you can see my reasoning for giving certain classes certain abilities.

Darrman Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I gave the demo a play. I'm not a regular here, so I won't talk about the story. In terms of gameplay,Β combat was largely simple. Throw the dragon at everything. Everyone else could generally severely damage the enemies, but the dragon just killed them in one hit. Forcing the player to choose what units to deploy as soon as the first chapter was a bit harsh, but I assume that's just a placeholder to show off all units who have been submitted to the game.Β The moving boss with a killer bow did come as a surprise to me, and with the high chance to kill most of my units in one hit, I'd say it's a bit too harsh for Chapter 1. I get you can't really have a stationary bow knight, though. Giving the Jeigan a physic staff while having to earn a heal staff was a bit strange, in my book. I'd swap the two around.Β Β I missed the second village. Getting there on foot seems to be an impossible task. The chapter mightn't have been the best chapter, but it was still enjoyable to play.Β I'm interested to see where new Serenes EmblemΒ goes next. Good luck!

Yeah...Β Balancing Therians and Manaketes is something I'm still trying to figure out. The final version of the chapter will probably only give you about 6-7 units and force you to use only those.Β And I would prefer not to give players Manakete access in the first chapter. I mainly gave Rezzy a Physic staff so she could flex her higher Staff rank.Β 15 uses should be plenty for a single chapter affair like this demo, but with more chapters added I figure players migh want to conserve those. You are intended to use Kat to reach the second House, just for this demo.Β The final version of this map will probably decrease the quantity and Level of the enemies (including the boss) and move the Thief going after it further away, giving you more time to reach it.Β The House in question gives a Dracoshield, which you're supposed to give to a tanky unit so they can soak up a Killer Bow hit more easily. Thanks for giving this a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly the default SRPG Studio portrait used for you doesn't have quite as much armor as it should, since your class is a kind of weird Lance/Axe Armor hybrid, but the hairstyle and expression were so similar to those of your avatar that I just could not pass it up.

So if I have no artistic skills, can I get the mug-shots by brandishing my axe in public and going to prison? Spoiler Realizing snark was a lot more suited to the prior username. Incidentally, has anyone ever made a sprite of Nolan except with sideburns and Grigori Rasputin-tier glare issues? Asking for a friend.
