Battle System Buddy

So lately most of my time is being devoted to the battle system heres a slightly lengthy blurb about how battles are handled and some features. A good deal of the basics are functional soon i'll be working on the excorcisms (fun fun fun)...

Basic Combat: Claudius has the option of partaking in melee combat or ranged combat. Claudius can seamlessly switch between current equipped melee and ranged weapon using the "shift" key.

Melee Combat: When a melee weapon is equipped Claudius can slash his sword simply by hitting the "enter" key. Swinging melee weapons will leave vulnerable for a fraction of a second however some weapons may leave you open longer than others so be wary.

Ranged Combat: When a ranged weapon is in use Claudius can fire the gun using the "enter" key all weapons have unlimited ammo however all weapons will however have a clip size some bigger than others obviously. When out of bullets a weapon must be reloaded before it can be used again some weapons take longer to reload than others.

Evasion Techniques: If a demon has you on the run Claudius has a few evasion techniques at his disposal. First the strafe technique by pressing the "0" key Claudius can enter strafe mode and take shots at his enemies while making a getaway. Next are the dash techniques by pressing the "9" key Claudius can take two quick steps forward and by pressing the "8" key Claudius can take two quick steps back. Both are very useful for fleeing or avoid attacks.

Blessings: Powerful special skills that can have a multitude of beneficial effects. However blessings consume all skill points so must be used sparingly or you could be left without a fighting chance.

Miracles: When in a losing situation exorcists may be granted miracles. Miracles can be a saving grace in a desperate situation however there is no guarantee that player will be granted a miracle so don't expect it.

Curses: Becoming possessed by a lesser demon but remaining conscious will lend players access to darker magic’s known as curses.

Exorcisms: Demons have the power to possess humans in these situations it is imperative to protect the lives of the innocent in these situations exorcisms are performed; they can be executed when the enemy is in a weakened state. Exorcisms require two stages for their success first drawing out the demon within the body. This is done is done by repeatedly hitting the enter key if enough strokes are hit the demon is called forth if not the demon can regain a small amount of power. The second stage is, sealing which done by hitting a series of key combinations.

Welcome!

Welcome to my Development Log of my current labor of love (and sometimes hate) Lyein Fidere. The title roughly translates into Lost Faith. I hope that this project may peak your interest. The project is currently being created with Rpg Maker 2003 (rm2k3) however after building up a decent chunk I hope to find a programmer willing to help me port it to a slightly more capable engine. Anyway enjoy and leave any feedback good or bad.
