What is the “Basic System”?

[1] What can you do with the “Basic System”?

• Can set the main character’s name and stats
• Can create a party (up to 6 people)
• Can set skills (magic/abilities)
• Can set items
• There is a concept of money
• Can set enemy characters
• Can open the menu with cancel keys (usually “x/esc/backspace”)
• Can support front view battles
• Can support event stores (classic shops in most RPG games)
• Automatically shows message window image when a “message” is displayed.
• Display the Save/Load screen

However, the following items are not included in the system and can only be made as an “Event”.

• Display the title screen
• Select “Start/Continue/Quit Game” on the title screen

[2] What part of the data is the Basic System?

• User Database : Type 0-12,15
• Variable Database : Type 0-15
• System Database : Type 23 (Reserve Variable 9)
• Common Event : Common 0-81 (82)

It is better to include the “Game Over Event” (common 82) as well.

These four parts correspond to the “Basic System“.

Other maps and events are not included in the basic system, so even if you delete them, they won’t affect the basic system.

[3] What happens if you lose/delete the Basic System?

If you try to make a game with “complete initial data” without using the basic system, the game will be as follows:

• No message window is displayed even if “Message” is shown.
• No menu is displayed even if cancel key is pressed
• No common event to trigger battle scenes
• No common event to call shops
• No common event to increase money and items
• No place to set the hero’s name, abilities, or stats

In other words, the only thing you can do is walk around the map and run events with the “Enter” key.

In the end, a system built from scratch is also good, but until you can manage everything on your own, we strongly recommend that you use the Basic System.
