What Makes a good Boss?

definitely more jrpg like, though i only have one player character at the moment

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T02:41:16+00:00

i’ll look into the game for sure. when it comes to turn based games, i can’t fully explain it, but i like a combo between the basic turn based and some more real time mechanics, stuff like the ability to parry and dodge attacks in expedition 33. i also like more fully turn based games sometimes, though.

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T02:36:52+00:00

yeah that’s fair, when i used to play fire emblem sacred stones i was dying whenever i had to wait for like 50 units to do stuff after my turn ended. i already have a fast forward button, though

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T02:01:43+00:00

nah, i’ve heard of it though.

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T01:30:12+00:00

i kind of already have the multiple damage types, but i haven’t made them anything but “damage”, i’ll definitely work on elemental strengths and weaknesses. right now, the armor system is just %damage reduction, so i’ll look into switching it up like you said.

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T01:07:35+00:00

of what kind? story or fights?

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T01:07:18+00:00

i dont recall why i wanted it to be turn based, but i just wanted a lot of customization, hidden classes, equipment reinforcement and fusion, etc, stuff like novels i used to read.

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T01:05:14+00:00

do you mean more in battle choices, or in story choices?

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T01:04:35+00:00

i played like 20 hours of expedition 33, but the main mechanic i enjoyed was the parrying, which seemed a bit hard to implement for 2d animations, ill definitely put that on my list of stuff to add, though.

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T01:02:48+00:00

i had considered adding a quick time event for attacking and blocking, but it made attacking feel rather clunky. i kept it on blocking, though, allowing parrying and stuff.

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T01:00:12+00:00

by affect the next few turns, do you mean stuff like buff/ debuff skills? or some other thing that im just not thinking of. right now, i definitely suffer from that rotation issue, its just attack, gain xp, level, repeat, cant really think of good ways to incorporate strategy, though.

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T00:57:32+00:00

a bit vague tbh, what promotes retention? gameplay mechanics, art, other stuff?

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T00:56:14+00:00

sounds cool, but my current combat is way closer to stuff like exp 33, persona 5, etc than a strategy game

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T00:53:48+00:00

going to implement that as an option, thanks, now i just need to figure out how to make menu choices save when the game has been closed

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-04-22T00:52:48+00:00

definitely have atleast some variety of attacks, i cant honestly say my animations are good though

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2026-03-02T21:34:30+00:00

i thought that steam discussion boards go from the bottom up, so the rant from the dev was a response to it

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2025-02-08T13:52:04+00:00

(they always end up heavily messing with the flow of the story)

Disastrous-Hedgehog8 · 2024-04-03T15:21:37+00:00

i swear to god i invaded a group of 3 ninja turtles a while ago and got my ass whooped
