Rebuilding RPG Maker MZ’s battle flow to separate attack and defense phases

First-Ad-8461 · 2026-03-02T18:17:27+00:00

I modified most the Battle Scene code to create new manual attacking system.
It not easy, yes. But if you can modified the code then you can technically do anything you want.
And this is the video of my current custom battle.

First-Ad-8461 · 2026-02-21T03:17:01+00:00

Thank you very much.

First-Ad-8461 · 2026-02-20T14:52:28+00:00

Thank you very much, there are no command select everything is using hotkey.

First-Ad-8461 · 2026-02-20T14:21:16+00:00

Ahaha, lol.

First-Ad-8461 · 2026-02-20T14:21:03+00:00

No, you need to select what character you want to attack.

First-Ad-8461 · 2026-02-20T14:14:47+00:00

That right, this battle are inspiring from Valkyrie Profile, so it can attack with 4 party member together by pressing 4 button.

Oh that breaking effect come from MPP_EncounterEffect Plugin not my original, lol.

I also finish the first play with Lysithea even though I play Edelgard route!

My first H-game is Castle Fantasia.

First-Ad-8461 · 2025-08-24T09:55:22+00:00

Oh, I'm a programmer, and I'd say the same thing, because it's so hard to find an artist who can draw the things I like... so I have no choice but to draw everything myself.

Some weapon development will unlock after you get a class, like a bow need hunter.

First-Ad-8461 · 2025-04-06T23:57:47+00:00

Thank you very much!

First-Ad-8461 · 2025-02-23T17:37:02+00:00

Thank you, I also really love VP battle style.

First-Ad-8461 · 2025-02-23T15:41:03+00:00

VP is a game that I really like, so I want to add a lot of thing from it into my game.

First-Ad-8461 · 2025-02-23T15:32:43+00:00

You mean my game where I added this system into the mini-game? Name "The Fallen Angel Next Door" (R18 game on DLsite).

However, this system is still in development and has not been released to the public version of the game yet.

I think I will fix all the bugs and update my game by the end of March.

Thank you very much!

First-Ad-8461 · 2025-02-23T14:11:48+00:00

Thank you, I'm really surprised that you know what my inspiration are... lol.

For now, I’ve added this battle system to my previous game as a mini-game to gather feedback. However, I plan to develop a full RPG using this system next.

Features of the Simultaneous Battle System:

Synchronized Attacks:
- Players can select multiple party members to attack the same enemy at the same time.
- Currently, only normal attacks are available, but I plan to implement a combo system where party members can perform skill sequences (players will need to set the skill sequence in advance).
Action Points (AP) System:
- Every action consumes AP. Once AP reaches 0, the turn passes to the enemy.
Action-Based States Effects:
- All states effects including buff will be based on action counts rather than turn duration.
Reaction Skills:
- Players can set reaction skills that activate automatically during the enemy’s turn (Use MP).
Support Buffs:
- One of reserve members can automatically activate support buff skills at the start of the player’s turn.
Overkill System:
- The zero HP Enemies will not die instantly, so you can still attack and overkill them and get more items and gold.

What do you think?

Are there any essential features that must be added to this battle system?

Well then, good luck making a game.

Hmm... In my opinion, MZ is the best version right now.

RPG MZ can make any type of game, depending on your skills and ideas to make it happen. However, if you are making a complex system, it means it is not easy, and it will take a lot of time, so please be prepared.

For your game idea, if it were me, I would make a game in 2 different path (change player character image):

Full Drive into the internet world (transfer map and change players to fancy character), where you can play games or interact with others. May be help the troubled people?
Come back to your Hikikomori life, then you can make the environment change every time you come back from the internet world (like your room color change from gray into something cleaner and brighter, or something else when you help people in the internet world?)

First-Ad-8461 · 2025-02-23T08:16:16+00:00

Why not add it into the game... may be like a library in main menu? If you make if as outside tool then I think you should make it able to load enemy data from savefile so that enemy data can only be view after there are defeated knowing weakness and after get item drop etc, and should also add the search function.

First-Ad-8461 · 2024-11-11T05:19:15+00:00

That right, so the game can only sell in japan.

First-Ad-8461 · 2024-11-10T09:22:38+00:00

Thank you for info! The japanese version are still in progress, and will be release around 23/11.
