RPG Maker 3 Questions

[SCKnight]

I've just bought the game, and I have some questions:

1) What's the learning curve for this game?

2) I read somewhere on this forum, that sometimes a NPC will follow the Character. How would I avoid that?

3) Can you stop a battle when the enemy or character's HP reaches a certain number?

4) Can this game crash?

5) Where can I find some tutorials for this game?

1) What's the learning curve for this game?

Flat. Or nearly so, depending on your logic skills and programming background.


2) I read somewhere on this forum, that sometimes a NPC will follow the Character. How would I avoid that?

A better question would be How Can We Make That Happen!! It is not easy to do (only one person has made the claim) and thus simplicity to avoid.



3) Can you stop a battle when the enemy or character's HP reaches a certain number?

Nope. Unless Zero counts. But the game does not have to end at that point. You can set up a Battle Result Branch that lets you revive the party and continue play after losing an event battle.



4) Can this game crash?

If you drive it too fast in bad weather. It will slow down in areas crowded with events and NPCs with large scripts.


5) Where can I find some tutorials for this game?

All over this board. Most of us here have used previous RPGMakers and nobody has written any in depth tutorials because of the flat learning curve.

If you have any specific things you would like to see step by step instructions for, just ask.

After getting a few things to work, the way this system functions will become clear and you will be making things very quickly.

Welcome to the boards and good luck with your game.

Peace.

Re: RPG Maker 3 Questions

I just bought the game a few days ago and im wondering i gave my main character these stats

Hp base 350
Hp bonus 50
mp bonus 5
str 2
mag 2
def 0
mdef 0
agl 10
luck 10
int 10
What would be good stats for the monster so they arnt too weak but arnt overpowering me?

Re: RPG Maker 3 Questions

I really have put next to no efort into game balance.

Try giving the monsters identical stats for a start and if it's too easy, raise 'em. If it's too hard, lower 'em.

That should ultimately work.

I'll have to work on this aspect one day. Battling has always been the least important aspect of my games.

Good Luck with it.

Peace.
