I'm finding it increasingly difficult to come up with a proper way to make moves. What I've got currently is that you go to the move-maker and there's a series of drop down lists, and check boxes, and you click away and add values to what you want. So if you wanted an ability that dealt +50% damage, healed 10% of your health, and only costed 10 energy, it would be possible... albeit extremely expensive.

Unfortunately the thing is I can't really think of a way to do this without:

* Spending a RIDICULOUS amount of time coding and BALANCING it
* Not achieving even good balance

So I ask - how important is it that you have a custom moves maker? I was thinking, instead, it would act like the TMs in pokemon, with really good moves that could be taught to a single monster, and upon its death, the "TM" would be released from the monster.

lol I dont need custom moves at all. I'd rather have the custom weapons IF I was going to have a custom move maker, I'd balance it by having each extra percent damage worth a certain energy, and each % anything else u want worth a certain energy, and have a max energy you can use. This way, there's a max on everything, but you can still mix and match.

How about having pre-made moves that the player can set into custom weapons, it's not exactly important having custom moves but It would add extra customibility which players seek in monster 'breeding' games

Hmm. Interesting idea. Actually putting moves into equips. I like that, CJ.
