Yes it is possible and actually not too difficult to do.

Re: Another Basic Question

If you play my game, you'll see that blood and gore effects are possible.

Re: Another Basic Question

Yes this would be best done with the fireworks, or smoke element and coloring them dark red. So if you play around with those enough, you should be able to get things pretty close to M rated.

Re: Another Basic Question

That would be EXTREMELY complicated. It's simple when it's just you and the enemy. You move yourself to enemies to attack them, they automatically home in on you to attack you. Throw in other party members, then you have to tell the party members whom to attack or to heal, and the monsters have to choose between multiple people. And since you can't tell them to automatically home into each other, you have to keep track of all their positions and base their movement on that info, while at the same time they don't try to walk through an obstacle and get permanently stuck (if they can't move, they can't proceed with their commands).

If you must have real-time fighting with party members, then your best bet is to do something like Pocky & Rocky (an old SNES series, and one supposedly crappy GBA game), where your party members are lined up behind you and follow you around exactly (which is a feature already programmed in). The enemies can home in to your lead member, while your party members just throw random attacks and spells in whatever direction they're facing, in hopes that there are enemies in that direction. You'd still have to keep track of their positions, but it'd be a whole lot less complicated.

Re: Another Basic Question

I actually have some really good AI Scripts for party member that run in an ACBS and help you. They actually aren't too horribly difficult and there's several ways you can set it up. One way I've thought of having it is where in the menu you can set the allies battle style like to heal, defend, attack, cast etc... You can also give them AI to attack whomever your currently attack or a target you give to them or w-e. Easy to keep track of with a variable. Another good way is to have them follow as an event but have them follow you, not quite at your running speed so you get range between you and them.
