1st: we need an artist unless you’re one (i’m not an artist i’m a coder). 2nd: do you know how to do the battling mechanics? i’m gonna try to do one (i forgot how to do it so i’m starting from scratch XD). 3rd: could you give me an example of how the game’s gonna be? plz, you can use a game (like the legend of the seven stars or earthbound, etc) as an example of how it’s gonna be, i need that info of the game plz. ---
