For the Black mage, the upgrade options are the Wizard and Warlock. The Wizard becomes a master of party buffs and enemy debuffs – the ultimate in support classes to turbo-charge the rest of your party. The Warlock, on the other hand, harnesses the elemental powers of Black Magic to ...

Each character must journey through two separate “dungeons” in order to complete their prologue in Last Dream II. For the Gray Mage, his second “dungeon” is the Black Forest which is so named due to the high, thick canopy that darkens it day and night.

This post is the first in a series that examines the kinds of tools we are creating for the purpose of writing event scripts for our various NPCs and cutscenes.

Consider: you are creating an RPG, and you want to make simple NPC that welcomes the player to town. Since you are using Godot, maybe you add a custom property to that object called “Message”, and then you can edit it like so:

Our indie team keeps our RPG enthusiasm blazing by playing video games together every Friday. Currently, we are progressing though the entire, main-line series of the Final Fantasy catalogue! We are presently halfway through NES Final Fantasy VI.
