The first game, Blue World - Quest (Hope), will feature the same battle system as MtSQuest but with one BIG difference, you will be able to LINK your combos together! I JUST got done programming this yesterday and I've been having all sorts of fun ever since
Say you have 2 Normal Arts, DUL and LRR. If you did DULLRR it would do both combos, one after the other. HOWEVER, if you simply did DULRR you would ALSO do both combos and save an extra block! Cool, isn't it? The thing with my system is, however, is that if you had a Hyper Art RRL and did RRLRR you would do the Hyper Art then the Normal Art. But if you did LRRL you would do a low punch and then the Hyper Art. This is intentional, by the way. I think this makes the system much more flexible to the player as they can find their own chains of combos and do unruly damage while getting tons of SP to unleash one of the kick ass attacks.
Here's a test run of it: http://www.superkidinc.com/downloads/Linking.8xp. Buttons are Up (HK), Down (LK), Left (LP), Right (HP) for the attacks, Clear to clear the command bar, Enter to accept, and + to quit. It's very basic, just the command line, so don't be expecting to wail on any DroidBots any time soon
The second game, Blue World - Quest (Dreams), will be using the fighting style battle system I created for the dead project Blue World - Test. However, I doubt I'm going to program the combos so that they could link. I might, now that I think about it, but I wouldn't hold me to it. To make up for this, tho, there are specials that are better in certain circumstances. Some attacks will only work in short range situations while others work best at long range. There are also some combos that do more damage based on things like your HP, SP, a particular stat, etc.
The games will follow both follow the same storyline, the only REAL difference is the battle systems. I'm planning on doing the games in 5 parts. Actually, the games themselves are 1 file. The chapters of the story will be in external files that might be as big as a whole app page themselves so it's going to be rather large. There will also be 5 different endings that you can get on the first playthrough! None of that 4+ playthroughs to get that stupid last NA to get the best ending like last time, which I think will make a lot of people happy, especially if they have to fill up their entire calc with my 1 stupid game >.<
Let's see...what all else does it feature...
There will be leveling up, but it's not important to which ending you get like the last one. The screens will be 16x16 tilesize (same with the sprite) so that means bigger, more detailed maps (not OVERLY detailed, however) AND it means you can RUN! Whoo! Okay, so, big deal, you can run, so what? Well, running has 2 benefits. One, it gets you through maps quicker, and 2 you are moving faster so it's harder for the enemies to catch you and send you into battle (meaning less random battles). HOWEVER, unlike most RPGs, you don't get to run forever. You will have stamina and if it runs out, you won't be able to run for a while. If you get into battle while you are in that no-run condition, you will be in the Tired status when you start battle. Oh yeah, that's another thing, status effects. Currently it's planned to have about...15 status effects, 5 of them positive. They each have their own little quirks as would be expected (in fact, one of them makes it so that if you get hit hard enough while you have the status, you die instantly
)Um, there's also equipment to help boost your stats. The equips are basically these things I call "Tabs" that fit into slots on your "Necasen Crest" (complicated terms, ne? don't worry, it's not really important). There are 4 levels of Tabs, the higher the level the strong it is but the more slots on the Crest it takes up. Allows for more customization on the player's part
There's also a bunch of items, like about 35 so far. Some can be used in battle, some only on the map, and some on both. Some heal HP, some SP, some give you a temporary stats boost, some cure status effects, and some cause them
Oh, yes, as for stats there are upper attack/defense, lower attack/defense, mind, speed, accuracy, and evasion. Mind helps your specials and resistance to magic & bad status effects, while speed helps determine who goes first and how many times they attack before the opponent...well, in Hope that is. In Dreams, speed helps your evasion. Defense will determine not only how much damage you will take if your don't evade it but whether you block it as well. Defending will, naturally, increase your defense and chance for blocking, and I'm thinking it will also increase your SP by a little bit as well. When you attack someone, if you do a High attack on a short enemy, naturally you'll do 0 damage, likewise if you do a low attack on an enemy in the air. Some of your special attacks will be the same way, so take that into account
Some of your stats will also be used outside of battle as well, but I'll let you all figure that out I'm also planning on doing link game features. If you get a particular ending, you're save file will have a special code in it so when you start up playing the other game you'll receive some bonus's and there will be minor in game differences (kind of like Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages for GB)
Yes, I haven't given this game ANY concideration and have NO desire WHATSOEVER to complete it ...not
Yeah, I'd REALLY love to make this game, but I'm not going to say for certain that I will be able to make this game till I have a story laid out and I have a better idea as to the calc requirements it'll need. As I said, I'm fairly sure I'll need at LEAST 5 app pages for the games themselves, and then there will be 5 chapter files that will contain map information, text, etc. Until I can get an idea of my requirements for that, I won't make an official announcements for it...have an idea for the story (don't worry, it'll be MUCH better than MtSQuest) but until I got it down for certain...
It just sticks out words that say kick/punch/etc. 
I am sad, I wanted to see the blue haired guy hitting things. 
, jk you might not release it as well....
