Wait a second, you are going to plan Laxius Squad before Little Hearts? Or was there a project in development hell that you need to make Laxius Squad first before you do that?
Yeah, in the meantime, I'll be posting my top 5 problems with RPG Maker by developers which I've seen (Good thing StriHiryu didn't continue Corey Oni as I state Corey Oni's problem down the list)
-
5: Guide Dang It: When the game is confusing to the point you need an walkthrough.
-
4: Too Grindy: There are times where you need to like level grind your way, Laxius Force I had a lot of lategame enemies in the early chapters. (chapters 4 and 3 got lesser and lesser on it)
-
3: Linear Structures: Linear/hallway structures are fine. Of course, the problem here is that if it's not done right, it can be annoying. (3 Stars had a linear ending where in the end you can't turn back, a difficulty back, and that's the area BEFORE the final boss)
-
2: Trial-and-Error: Okay, this one is just pure annoyance. The thing is, Laxius Force 3 had an invisible maze, and the last move is only done via trial-and-error. One mistake, and your dead. The thing is, good luck figuring out the right solutions without looking up a walkthrough.
Okay, number one is probably something a smart developer would
never EVER pull off. You ready?-
1: Missable Key Items: "You missed that? You can't get the true ending." The thing is, missable key items are only good for like linear visual novels, not for a proper adventure RPG game. In Corey Oni, I remember playing it, and I got STUCK only being able to find the true ending. I asked for help, and guess what?
There are four buttons which I only found 3, and the first one is found at the beginning of the game with no real indication it was there all along. Ask yourself this question, "if your going for something hidden, should you really hide them in a style that no one is supposed to figure out on their own?"
I'm not sure if any other RPG Maker game did that junk or not, where the true ending can only be gotten by getting something hidden, and if you MISS THAT, (which you won't realize in the first place) you can't get the true ending, only the bad ending.Okay, I hope your games will be better and more fun, and maybe you'll use RPG Maker MV and maybe an action timed battle system.
