Moghunter has kindly awoken from his hibernation (albeit, temporarily) to release this new video and a couple of XAS 4 screenshots.

  • XAS 4 is 70% Complete

additional info

XAS 4 will support 3 interchangeable Action modes:

Normal Mode

    ;( XAS 4.0 Never will be Released 2011? ;/

    • Joey says:

      Its almost been a 2 year project i guess your right it wont come out in 2011

    • NuKa_BuBble says:

      Not really?! So, that let me some time to script and map my game… Erffff

    • Joey says:

      Thats the only good thing gives you some extra time to script some stuff XAS 4 may have yourself

  2. If you need a beta tester, i’am available.

  3. dsroms says:

    70% !!!!!!!!! OMG

    • Th3_W01f says:

      i know i hope it comes soon

    • FenriX` says:

      it’s at 70% since a year right now =.=” stob being exiting… probably this will never come out =.=”

    • Anonymous says:

      This efficiency flattered

    • Joey says:

      Mog hunter is taking another break….though…he does deserve one

  4. FenriX` says:

    I can see new screenshot… does anyone have talk to the autor to have that screenshot? (like the one that explain the terrain panels for the Platform)
    in that case as usual he was still silent about the release or other progress right? =.=”
    We’ll have to wait forever? those this 4.0 will ever come out? is there instead a way to put more character in game and leave behind the 4.0?
    i think that mog hunter is dead on the WC like Elvis, or something like that =.=”
    (i know that this is the N time that someone ask about this… but we’re loked at this for too much time now…)

    • Joey says:

      OK…. i been looking at mogs site and sure enough HE’S NOT DEAD!!!
      hes just taking a well deserved break…agian..we should just make our own scripts for this right? like other people do that…..i will…..once my RPG Maker STARTS WORKING AGIAN

  5. Th3_W01f says:

    any idea when this is due out?

  6. Richard says:

    Hey Calvin,

    My website got destroyed… :( ! I will have it back up within the next few days to continue hosting the XAS files.

  7. Seriwyth says:

    The more patient we are,, the more the project will be fantastic ♥ (gosh! I had an orgasm seing the video again *.*)
    I’m very impatient to discover this new XAS, it seems to be wonderful, I can’t wait more! I sincerly hope that the project isn’t dead and that one day, I could play with it !
    Good luck for next ^^

  8. Joey says:

    The new screenshots are not posted on mogs website nor a video where did you get these screenshots????

    • Minime says:

      beacouse he has a personal webfriendship with mog….

    • Calvin624 says:

    • Joey says:

      Ok, i have a question im making an ally system for XAS i would have to use the XAS intilize commands + my own to make it work right??

    • Joey says:

      Why wont anyone help me ? :(

  9. Hello out there. I think this project is still ongoing and Moghunter777 is still continuing to do it. Well if some of you could not wait, like I do, hahaha :D If you want the party feature of XAS IV, you could do the scripting using party switcher and party huds, plus caterpillar script.

    • Joey says:

      If you plan to do this i could help :)

  10. Joey says:

    Thank you to updating the site calvin we now all know that this project is not dead :)

  11. Timmy says:

    Good things come to those who wait . . .

    Means something will coming soon…?
    We look forward to see it ! :( :)

    • FenriX` says:

      that was the words you would say when the XAS is already out… not now =.=”
      Stop messing around, if there isn’t any news… just stop that >.<

  12. holas says:

    this project is dead lol

    • Joey says:

      Its not dead….its…well….ummm…maybe MOGHUNTER is taking…um….a….rest…cause…..um….he…..um…..i dont know. but i kinda agree

    • Timmy says:

      Like XAS 4 is 90% Complete :( …?
      We look forward to see it complete!

    • NuKa_BuBble says:

      The project is dead? I don’t think but that’ll problably be the last version. Moghunter have spend to much time on this project to stop it now. I think this forum is not updated. Mayby Calvin624 is gone for some time or he translate XAS 4.

    • Joey says:

      True. i keep on seeing “im gone for 2 weeks or im gone for a few days”
      check moghunter’s site maybe its out there but..

    • NuKa_BuBble says:

      The last post say: I need beta testers for XAS 4….. If the project don’t progress it’s mayby for that.

    • Joey says:

      Thats for a different project that he’s supporting i think

    • Joey says:

      But i know he’s working on XAS if you play the mom3 demo it says its a test for XAS 4

  13. rembrant_087@hotmail.es says:

    i think that the xas 4 was finished only becouse mog want to release mom3 with xas4 :(

    • Joey says:

      Yes.but he usally releases mom series in open-project

    • NuKa_BuBble says:

      What’s mom3?

    • Joey says:

      Memories
      Of
      Mana
      3

  14. Punk Kate says:

    • SuperGeek says:

      never!!!!

      ahahahaha

    • Joey says:

      READ PEOPLE READ!! Why dont you people just wait!!!! its gonna take a while do you know how hard it is to make an ABS look whats MOG done! things other people CANT do anyway! dont you read above
      “Please Note: There’s no release date as of yet but Moghunter is hoping to get XAS 4 out within the coming months, certainly by the end of Summer” and i dont care if calvin’s wrong or not about that JUST WAIT PLEASE J-U-S-T W-A-I-T P-L-E-A-S-E YES WE ALL KNOW ITS TAKEN A LONG TIME AND ITS STILL NOT OUT BUT WAIT MOG GOTS OTHER THINGS TO DO JUST WAIT! please….

    • Punk Kate says:

      ok will do, thanks.

    • Punk Kate says:

      I asked to make sure it wasn’t abandoned or anything.

    • Joey says:

      Wait, do you people just want one thing out of XAS 4, like just ally,or platform????? if you know RGSS you could script some of the stuff for you selfs. :)

    • Joey says:

      It was just a question :(

  15. mojojo says:

    I love the XAS-abs, Best out there!!! Cant wait till XAS4 !!!! looks great, It would be perfect if it implemented an visual equipment system or character customization system.

    • Joey says:

      you know there is a visual equip script for rpg maker xp and i think it would work fine with XAS and what do you mean by character customization like stats UP with a stats system??

    • Souloux says:

      @Joey: Find the visual equip script, test it. Once you know it’s compatible with XAS share it here.

      @mojojo: Please be more specific on character customization system. Stats? Sprites? Weapons? Armor? Tools?

    • Joey says:

      I wish i could test it but the links broken :(

    • mojojo says:

      Sprite customization :D

  16. RGSS is available! but this is brazilian.
    I recommend to use google translator.

    • Joey says:

      YES!

    • Raff_the_Math says:

    • Anonymous says:

  17. sad person says:

    sigh… my summer break is over… I was wishing i would at least be able to use xas 4.0 before the end of my summer.

    • Berseker says:

      yeah men, my summer ends for me to, i was wishing the same…u.u
      now we have to wait to the release in september

    • Joey says:

  18. Berseker says:

    • Thunder says:

    • Joey says:

      You guys have to wait it may come in a month no one knows when its gonna come except for MOG he has alot of work on his hands you’re just gonna have to wait

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      ok then… what about next year?

    • Joey says:

      What do you mean next year XAS may come out in september
      who knows??

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      i don’t raise hopes anymore :-/

    • Joey says:

      all we have to do is wait…. sadly…..

  19. almost says:

    just a suggestion in the use of skill, there short key to use other skills to be able to do a combo .. for example button 1 to use ice, button 2 to use fire and button 3 for use fire, for this configuration user it’s not hard to use combo skill.. one more each skill has a delay to be used again. :D

    • almost says:

      I mean like this…

  20. Raff_the_Math says:

    I’ve got a new Idea for Clothes changing like some guys wanted it (and as in games like Baldurs Gate or Divine Divinity).

    Me too thought, that wouldn’t be possible in RPG Maker (because you’d have to have many many graphics combinations and the game would become incredibly big).

    But then I found this (use Chrome or better the SWIrone browser, if you haven’t already downloaded Chrome to translate the words. I prefer to have this open in iron and use it on firefox, cause then, google doesn’t let pop up some translations you always have to klick away):
    http://www.geocities.jp/kurororo4/looseleaf/

    See, when you click for instance at body, you can give the guy body armor, and if you scroll down a bit a t-shirt or something? if you have selected both, you can see the t-shirt under the armor. now deselect the armor and you still see the t-shirt.

    Well that great and all (for creating new characters), but that still doesn’t solve the problem, that the game is become too big.

    But if someone would use such graphics, and would create a script, i guess it would be possible!

    Yeah, just wanted to tell ya…

    Greets

    • Joey says:

      thats kool

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      yeah maybe… but i just realized that (after posting) these guys are taller than the normal RTP guys, the heads are bigger etc.
      well if you don’t you people from the RTP it’s fine. but if you do…. well at least you can, redraw them and don’t have to sprite them, all by yourself…

    • Joey says:

      he lol

  21. totte says:

    You make us wait too long XAS4 。。。。When this project can be released can you tell us (你让我们等太久太久了 你能告诉我们什么时候可以发布么 ???)

  22. FenriX` says:

    AAAAH!!! I Hate him!!! Damn it!!! What the hell!!!
    Will He ever stop to work on this stupid script like the gallery or the load system and finish this damned XAS4.0? GRRRR!!!

    • Joey says:

      if he brings MOM3 out and XAS 4 is not out yet i gonna find a way to hack into MOM3 and extract XAS 4 scripts

    • FenriX` says:

      i like the way you wanna solve the situation Joey!! great!! XD XD XD also because there are a lot of program to hack the graphics and the scripts of the games… anyway… the other project of MogHunter was all free to be opened… so i don’t think that we’ll need to hack it :) i remember the previous project, i was always able to open them with RMXP like i do with my own project XD

    • Calvin624 says:

      @Joey
      Moghunter will be continuously working on XAS 4 alongside MOM3, that way he’s bug testing and adding new features as and when he needs to.

      All in all it makes for a better release than if he were to put it out as it is.

      Be patient guys.

      … and it was me who made the reference to Summer, obviously not taking into account that the readers of this blog come from all over the world – sorry for any confusion.

      Take care,

      Calvin624

    • FenriX` says:

      and… well… it was you who said this thing… where are you from? north or sud emisphere? how much i’ve to wait? 2-3 mounth… or 8-9 mounth? XD

    • Calvin624 says:

      @FenriX`

      I’m from the UK. Moghunter had said it’d be a few months, which I think translated to about July/August time so I made the ‘end of Summer’ comment.

      I can’t say how long you’ll have to wait. As long as it takes I guess.

      But as I say, I’d rather have a solid, multi-featured release rather than a simple ‘ten a penny’ update.

    • FenriX` says:

      i think the same way as you… but everytime a new update of XAS is made… i take the new algoritm for the monsters, the new good features… and i eliminate the strange features of the enemy, the strange features of the animation, and all those other stuff that i’ve never used… ’cause i’ve my own features… but i don’t have the knowledge to make a solid base like the ones of the XAS, i really want the party battle, and i think that the pixel movement (if used with the parallax) would be a great update… i don’t care for all of the rest XD XD XD (maybe, and just maybe, it would be good to make some of the map with a platform style…)

      i’ve heard that you’re helping moghunter… how? if you have a closed alpha-test version of the xas4.0 would you please release it!! :* just for us? =D mmm? mmmmm???? MMMMMMMM?????
      XD XD XD

      Anyway… what do you know about this XAS4.0? you simply take general information from moghunter or you also have take a look at the closed-alpha? like for example i really want to know the pixelmovement stuff… something more…

    • Joey says:

      yea i thought you were helping moghunter?

    • Joey says:

      @Calvin
      Thing i if he’s working on XAS he cant be working on MOM3 cause MOM3 IS powered by XAS if he’s not finished XAS 4….he cant start working on MOM3
      @FenriX
      Well i dont think MOM3 will be an open project

    • FenriX` says:

      @Joey… Trust me… i’ve made half of my project without the BS, and the other scripts… i’ve done the script during the project… here’s a demostration:

      and here’s another:
      http://yumeno.altervista.org/ZoomInOut/ZoomInOut.html
      i still don’t have half of the script that i need… and i’m talking about the XAS4.0… but i’ve done a lot… in graphic and in story…
      Don’t attack MogHunter, thinking that he already have the entire script… he’s still alphatesting it…
      the better way to alphatest and to continue a script is to use it in your project… so you can set the variables and the other stuff in a specific way, instead of set everything as a standard variable and value… XD

    • Joey says:

      duuddeee why did’nt i think of that im gonna do that with my project.
      You’re right and its much more easier to do graphics for MOM3 there all made already all he has to do is map and finish XAS 4 i think he’s done the menu and world map system

    • Joey says:

      @fenriX
      and how did you embed the vedio on you’re post???

    • José says:

      august?
      exactly for my birthday, i love you mog xD

    • Joey says:

      … my birthday is in july

  23. José says:

    A question…
    What tha fack is MOM3??? xD

    • FenriX` says:

      Memories
      Of
      Mana
      3

      and try to write better then this =.=”

    • basst says:

      where’re you from man?

    • FenriX` says:

      who? me or the “madafakka” above me? XD
      i’m from italy…

    • Joey says:

      ha ha ha “madafakka”???

  24. Domster says:

    Hello
    I asked Mog for any news about the state of XAS 4.
    Here’s the answer:

    Hey man.
    Lately, I spending my free time supporting third party projects.
    About the current percentage of competition.
    Hmm…. 70,00001 %!!!! Lol
    Take care.

    I hope this is just a joke…

    • FenriX` says:

      grrr!!! I hate moghunter!! è.é
      i’m gonna kill him!! >.<
      anyway… in my opinion the percentage of the XAS 4.0 is equal to the number of comments here… we're at 99 whit mine… so this means that the xas is at 99%!! :o
      One last comment and the script will be released!! =D c'mon c'mon!! U.U

    • Joey says:

      Sweet if this is true i can stop using blizz-abs Man, that thing is crap
      Anyway moghunter should atleast alert Calvin that he’s taking a break.

    • Joey says:

      guys moghunter just told me that MOM3 IS powerd by XAS4! that means….something i dont know yet.anyway there are screens of MOM3
      so that may mean XAS 4 is out……somewhere
      (if you dont belive me, i really dont care)

    • FenriX` says:

      He have made demos and other stuff… he’s scripting the XAS4.0 and at the same time he’s working on his game that is powered by the XAS4.0… we all made the same with our games… to create a demo, something that he always do, of the script is something that takes time…
      or he’s working on his game and he really have finished the script… and he’s waiting to make a demo ’cause he don’t want to…
      or he’s scripting and working on MOM3 at the same time…
      probably the second thing…
      but i’m sure that he wont release the xas 4.0 when he will finish to script it… but something like a week or 2 later… ’cause first he has to make a demo… this is why i was asking to release the script without the database and the script… ’cause personally i don’t need it XD

    • Joey says:

      Well,i cant really remeber but i think Calvin’s helping him but he should get some other people to help he could script other’s could make the demo

  25. José says:

    puff here the winter will end soon D:!
    “certainly be the end of summer” xD
    hahahahaha
    mog is slow, but is the best :D
    i wish xas 4 *-*

    • Joey says:

      summer is starting here i hope it comes out in july.
      well for you guys that could be december

    • FenriX` says:

      oooh damn!! right!!! When MogHunter said that the XAS 4.0 will be released at least for the end of the summer… which mounth was he talking about? ’cause in the north emisphere the summer is already started… i don’t have any idea where moghunter is from…

    • Joey says:

      Ummm…..i really want to find out WHAT Moghunter is doing.
      cause if MOM3 is uing XAS 4 i wanna use it too

  26. Mark Ninja says:

    OH my 70%!!!

    • FenriX` says:

      i don’t know how many months there’s that 70%… the XAS 4 is stuck >.< i want it out!! ç.ç

    • Joey says:

      did you see MOM3 it looks like its using XAS 4 check mogs site

    • Nero says:

      Script writing need a lot of time ,patience to wait

    • Timmy says:

      É, eu.

  30. BlackEagle says:

    will it be easy to update a current project from XAS 3.91 to 4.0? I hope so, new features look amazing

    • FenriX` says:

      it was told you that the xas 3.91 was a preversion waiting for the 4.0… why did you start your project with the 3.91 if you already know that the 4.0 was near to be released?

    • Joey says:

      when it comes out you may be abel to copy your maps from XAS 3.9 to 4 dont do it with scripts copy your actors,Mapinfos,weapons if you want armors, and classes you should keep everything else

    • BlackEagle says:

      i started with the version before 3.91. got well into the project when 3.91 came out then had a few weeks of setbacks as I copied files over and worked out scripts that no longer functioned in the newer version. Just curious if its going to be easier to update. It would be neat if there was a program that could take your files and maps and replace them with the demo project files that I guess will come with version 4. Copy and paste works fine for a majority of the project, but all the teleport events and a large amount of script work needs to be reconfigured.

      Actually, maybe releasing a blank version of the version 4.0 would make things easier. As in, no tools on the tool map, no enemies, items, skills, etc. It would speed up the copy and paste process by a lot.

    • Joey says:

      maybe someone should just do that when XAS 4.0 come’s out i would be happy to do that :)

  31. Anonymous says:

    OMG! That,s what im waiting for!

    HEY!! long time no see!! although i doubt somebody remember me i haven’t been in here for like half a year! so calvin your vacation is over now that im here you mind gonna explode with questions hahaha!!

    naa seriously! awesome at first i was like…. but then i OMFG!!!!!! sooooo i just have one question(as always)…(well not as always, in fact i always have more than 1 question sooo)….(whatever).. its there a posiblility to enhance the character graphics since this came out, at least in the side scrolling? cuz a little dwarf going all through that seems complicated? i don’t mean their aren’t tough( their stone racial passive) but i meaaan… well i think you know what i mean chris… ive been in this page like for 1 or 2 years… or more i dont remembeeer!! :D

    that’s it!! that wasn’t too hard, was it mum?? what? your hands hurt because you’re typing all this? oh c’mon don’t be a girl!!! EAT IT(that’s what she said.. wait… i think this joke is misplaced…)!!!!

    GOOD TO READ YOU GUYS !!!

    • basst says:

      and now im answering myself!! i want ma platformer moe
      suckra!!

  36. Domster says:

    give it news to realease ? ^^
    i cant wait xD

    • FenriX` says:

      right… is there any news about the workout of the XAS4?

  37. dani3 says:

    fenrix: you didn’t understand what I meant… a sidescroller in depth with characters only facing left or right…

    • FenriX` says:

      you can do that with the standard mode… just edit something, make map that go left and right, and a bit up and down… farewell to the jumps… and you’re on…
      with all the stuff that you can do with the standard mode i hardly think that moghunter want to do something about the sidescroller in depth in platform mode… use the standard mode and edit it… with graphics and other (like, don’t change direction when you press up or down, just change your position, it’s not pretty hard)

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      wtf you are talking? what about the Platformer Mode???
      I mean it sais: “Introduces a gravity system Like: Super Mario Bros and Castlevania”
      SUPER MARIO!!! Any questions? -.-’

  38. dani3 says:

    will moghunter implement a sidescrolling system like legend of mana or final figh? as of now it looks like characters cannot move in depth…

    • FenriX` says:

      it’s a platform style… what reason could you have to move in depth? O.ò
      if you want that then you can use the normal system… =.=”

  39. Ezekiel says:

    Xas hero 4, will have co-op mode for 2 or 4 players?, I mean 4 people playing.
    Thanks for your time

    • Calvin624 says:

      No co-op mode as far as I’ve been told. I suppose it’d be possible, perhaps in the form of an add-on script.

      Calvin624

    • Thunder says:

      Co-op at least 2 players locally or remotely should be sweet. Like in Legend of Mana, you can choose if the secondary character is controlled by cpu or human.

    • Ezekiel says:

      oks, thanks for responding. Waiting Xas hero 4 :D

  40. Myth says:

    Non-lame caterpillar.
    THANK YOU.

    Seriously. This looks like the engine of my dreams.
    I wonder if there could be a way to switch between platform and overhead during the game? That means you could make old Tales-style games, which would be neat.

    • FenriX` says:

      Seriously… i was thinking about a switching mode between Platform standard and focus mode… the focus for the bosses (without changing the map into one smaller and fixed), and the switch between the normal and platform mode like in Crash Bandicoot 3 (where, in certain level you was running in map that changes in run up/down into run left/right… it could be funny to create map with a bridg for example… where you can walk like in a platform…

  41. Raff_The_Math says:

    Controller support is the only thing xas has that Blitz abs doesnt, so lets hope he keeps it.

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      What the hell!?

      I didn’t wrote that! oO

    • A Doppelganger!

  42. Guilherme says:

    lol. ta muito doido o xas 4 eu munca achei que tinha tanto que possa se faze com o rpg maker xp esto muito acioso. vo monta meu rpg que esto trabalhando no xas 4 elem do mais ele lembra muito castlevania.

  43. Joey says:

    Wow this is really cool cant wait until this comes out

  44. FenriX` says:

    But emmm…
    we’ve seen the Platform style, the classic style…
    and what about the focus style? we haven’t look at it…
    for the add-ons… we know something? about compatibilities? and… the release date is still unknown? ç.ç

    • Calvin624 says:

      Hey FenriX`,

      Focus Mode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcB1asMuH8s#t=1m15s

      We won’t know about any compatibility issues until XAS 4 is released, I should think Moghunter will update his add-on scripts for use with v4.0 (where applicable).

      As soon as I know more I’ll put it up on the site.

      Calvin624

    • FenriX` says:

      … O.ò
      that scene is about the focus mode? XD it wont make you see anything XD
      anyway… i’ll study the workout of the focus mode when i’ll play it ^.^ i hope that it wont take me too much to try it XD

    • Calvin624 says:

      @ FenriX` – The link takes you to the first trailer, 1 minute and 15 seconds in (where you can see an example of the Focus Mode).

    • FenriX` says:

      … YEAH!! i get it… but it’s about the graphic that froze over a giant dragon with the player that wont move… and then the scene go to another location after 3 seconds… XD

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      Yeas, to me it looks more like the Platformer Mode too!
      But to me this looks like the Focus Mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcB1asMuH8s#t=0m7s
      or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcB1asMuH8s#t=0m33s this last scene looks like all three! lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcB1asMuH8s#t=1m40s

    • Calvin624 says:

      @Raff_the_Math

      Focus Mode is an extension of the Platformer mode – take a look at Legend of Mana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qCzLGoiUYU#t=6m25s

      Enemies are spotted, screen stops scrolling and you fight.

      Calvin624

  45. Raff_the_Math says:

    Now, after i’ve seen the second trailer it’s even more like ♥♥♥ ♥.♥♥ ♥♥♥
    and now i finally found my proof for Castlevania at 1:08 there you can clearly see the gameplay of it!
    and now i finally found – out why Mog needs diagonal attack so much, because of the sideview fighting! of course!
    xD

  46. Raff_the_Math says:

    cool, this website now even with surveys *.*
    btw. i like it how it doesn’t exist any haters here ^^

  47. Ally says:

    When it is expected to release?

  48. FenriX` says:

    I really hope that the pixelmovement (one of the most usefull think added with this edition of the XAS, more likely the classic ABS role play games of our past and of our background) wont enter in conflict with the rewriting of the tileset class and with some veicle script that i’m already using in my game… or it will be a big problem XD

    • FenriX` says:

      anyway… for how much long moghunter is locked at the 70% of workdone? cause i remamber a 60% something like 3 or 4 months ago!! XD
      i really hope that this xas version wont take so long to come up!! i don’t mind for demos, for special animation or for special attacks!! XD i’ll anyway edit it from the beginning… i can’t wait!! ç.ç i’m like a stupid child that already wont the toy that will be realesed shortly!! XD

  49. Chris says:

    Anyone else LOL at the end of trailer 2 with that happy face? All epic and then “:)” comes out as an attack.

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      LoL, i watched it (the end) over and over again
      i wind back a bit, everytime
      Cause I Saw No Happy Face!

      till i finally FOUND the Trailer TWO! O.O

      thank you so much (well but not soo much as Mog or Calvin^^)
      because i didn’t saw it, and i otherwise never found it – without you xD

  50. lorddonk says:

    AMAZING!! But Moghunter is a cruel man to tease us so!!

    I love at about 1:18 in the first video. The 3D effect is really cool!

    Also, shortly after that, the player character picks up one of the party characters and throws her over a pit. That part reminds me of the Mario & Luigi games on DS and GBA.

    I’m working on a “open world” style game so being able to have party characters that follow you around on the map is the thing I’m most looking forward to! I can’t wait!

    • I am also working on an open world game and the party system is what I have always wanted to see in XAS. I am glad they decided to add it.

    • G@MeF@Ce says:

      @lorddonk – ha Mog is such a tease, have you seen the XAS opening video? :-P http://youtu.be/M4TU6kRV6OQ

      can’t wait ^,^

    • lorddonk says:

      G@MeF@Ce,

      Bageezus! That scared the heck out of me!

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      LoL it didn’t remindet me on Mario and Luigi but Zelda Four Swords Adventures for Gamecube ^^

      Yeah, that you guys want to make an Open World is just awesome
      I mean, ABS and this
      THESE functions do make games better, i can’t understand why so many RPGs are not like that, i mean even the RPG Maker wasn’t orignally invented for that!
      So thank you Mog, thank you so much for making these awesome scritps, so that we all can let our dream come true! (regardless of making a game, or playing such games! ^^)

  51. xna says:

    loving the platformer style! :D

  52. Domster says:

    Hey Hello it Domster Again XAS 4 is so brilliant ♥
    i love it ♥

    I moghunter asked if there is any possibility of equipped weapons display

    and the awnser :) ))

    Hey man, sorry for the delay in replying.
    Do mean Visual Equiipment? I ll make this addon for XAS4.
    Thanks.
    :) )))

    Thanks MOG

  53. Mathias says:

    So will this work with the normal controls and an xbox cotnroller? that’s the one reason I was using xas before.

    • Calvin624 says:

      Hey Mathias,

      Moghunter plays XAS with a controller and so he designs it around use with a controller; so I should think XAS 4 will be no different.

      However, he has played around in the past with the idea of creating add-ons specifically for those that play using their keyboards (just because there’s more buttons).

      Perhaps we’ll see a ring menu that’ll allow Moghunter to add features without sacrificing the controller aspect of the ABS.

      We’ll just have to wait and see.

      Calvin624

  54. Raff_the_Math says:

    I think Moghunter should call it different then XAS 4
    Something like “XAS ULTIMATE EDITION” or so
    I mean, since it’s not even made by Xiderow and Mog recreated the script from “new” it’s like something Special and new
    Look: As it was mentioned, it’s not only an ABS anymore, it’s much more like that – like and SDK
    You could make several Action Games
    As you said Calvin624 the
    Normal Mode for games like
    Secret of Mana | Zelda
    Focus Mode for games like
    Legend of Mana | Star Ocean | Chrono Trigger
    Platformer Mode for games like
    Super Mario Bros. and I mention it
    Castlevania!
    yeah, there are so many possibilities

    In Fantastic Journey you saw a game like
    Intensity XS

    So there are way more things you can do in XAS
    In 4 it’s like UNLIMITED

    I wouldn’t be surprised, if anyone would make an egoshooter game…

    Lots of Greets
    Raff

    • Thunder says:

      Unlimited Action Battle System sounds good since there so many resources avaliable in current XAS.

    • Calvin624 says:

      I’m totally not liking this idea, I’d have to change the site haha :)

    • Anonymous says:

      LoL hahaha^^
      Oh and Calvin624, i saw you changed the text on the front page a bit
      like the font and so
      you even added my idea of Castlevania ^^
      thanks for that! :D

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      sorry i forgot to put in my name ^^’

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      sorry for posting again, but i have new things in mind right now…

      @Thunder
      I think this is a good name^^ UABS or UNLIMITED ABS
      whatever^^

      @Calvin624
      :O damn, you’re soo right
      even IF XAS 4 was already released, we don’t know how long it will takes you, to make these many tutorials!
      so we have to wait again, even it’s finished xO
      well, at least we can try it out, and test things ourselves – because you’ll have the download even you haven’t done one tutorial, right? i hope so! :D

      but please, start making tutorials for the Normal Mode :-þ or let just finish that – after that do the
      Focus Mode
      Platformer Mode
      for me, you could take your time making these, because i’ll put them in on a later time in my game^^
      also, i think everyone is waiting for that making his/her RPG
      the other ones can maker their “Super Mario” on a later time xD
      because, we didn’t even expect that these Modes will be addet! – just saying^^

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      sorry again :’D

      well what about

      XAS4Everyone ?
      like the 4 stands for, you know, “four” and “for” xD

    • Thunder says:

      Very creative Raff! +1

    • Calvin624 says:

      @ Raff_the_Math – I usually get a pre-release version of XAS a week or so before Moghunter polishes it and it’s ready for release.

      So that usually gives me a little time to translate it, get to grips with the new features and start writing some of the tutorials up.

      Still working on an offline version of the tutorials – that way it’ll cause less confusion about what tuts are for what version etc.

      Calvin624

    • Raff_the_Math says:

      Yeah, the offline version is a really good idea and gives it new improvements^^

      @Thunder
      thanks! after reading several texts of mine, i feel ashamed sometimes …like here where i posted messages in a row

      @Calvin624
      yeah, that might be right, that you get it earlier but… i remembered that you don’t only make some tutorials but even translate the whole script in the RPG Maker! soo.. that takes even some more time, too!
      like, the week goes down for the time of translating all.. (how do you even do that? i mean, after you’re finished, you have to change the differences from the “polished” XAS … ok, i think that might be like “changing that line, and this line…”)

  55. IAMFORTE says:

    Oh how i have abandoned XAS, fortunetly, its drawn me in again, hopefully Mog gets it finished sooner rather than later : 3

  56. Bradley M says:

    Hey! I hope you answer this, but when do you think this will be released? I’m busy for a long time with my game, and I used Blizz ABS. But I think your ABS is way better, so I hope I can use this when I need to!
    Thanks alot,
    Bradley

    • Calvin624 says:

      Hey Bradley,

      There’s no release date as of yet but Moghunter is hoping to get XAS 4 out within the coming months, certainly by the end of Summer.

      Calvin624

  57. Mathias says:

    Does this still work with an xbox controller?

  58. nobody says:

    freaking awesome :D

  59. Anonymous says:

    OMG?!
    This looks so amazing!
    AI commands, squad based combat (with team-based skills)
    with the side-view system, oh my, I can’t wait to be able to use it.
    The animations for one-sprite enemies seem very smooth and the little parallax effects seem nice too.

    I’m really curious about the performance of the whole system.

    Great work Moghunter!

  60. Domster says:

    I Hope on XaS 4 the give it the featcher from 3.9
    Skill Targeting (like Secret of Mana)

  61. G@MeF@Ce says:

    @Calvin – I can’t wait for XAS 4 made easy ^,^

    the ’4′ in XAS4 goes well with the quartet of heroes -

    I like the mini HUDS and how each hero has their own overdrive. Looking forward to all the party features and the all neat ways MOG sets up the enemies. Lots to look forward to…

    • Calvin624 says:

      Haha, working on offline versions of the manual for v3.82 and v3.91 as we speak.

      XAS 4 is going to be EPIC!

    • Ragnai says:

      Woaw, looks really impressive.
      One thing though: could it be possible to have ‘neutral’ npcs which only attack if you attack them or when a certain switch is changed (aka, they could fight for you or for the enemy)

      That be another impressive addition to this whole package you’re giving us here.
      Great work!

    • Thunder says:

      @Ragnai
      Theres a checkbox named “passive” on enemy configuration in the database since 3.91.

  62. It already has surpassed my expectations just by watching this trailer. It looks amazing!

  63. Raff_the_Math says:

    I’m waiting and waiting, not toughing my project till it finally comes out
    cause I don’t want to have incompatibility :-(

    Oh I really can’t wait that much longer xO
    I know, if Moghunter would hurry up, the system wouldn’t be THAT good, as it will be normally…
    So what should it be?

    Ah-nd ah-nother thing:
    I wonder how many and what kind of games will be made?
    I mean, right now, I guess, everybody is waiting for Ver. 4 so nobody does his/her project xD

    I’m very curious what will happen!
    Greets ^^

    • I am not working on my game either for the same reasons lol. I can’t wait for the new XAS it looks like it will be amazing.

    • Berseker says:

      Me to ;D

  64. xna/platipus says:

    wow this is absolutely awesome, i cannot wait any longer. :)
    you know how to keep us waiting mog ;p

  65. Timmy says:

    This is best system!!!
    I can’t wait to try it!!!

  66. Richard says:

    I had heart attack! This looks amazing.

  67. lonewolf says:

    I have already had an orgasm. This is amaizing.

    I wait ansious for it.

  68. Domster says:

    I Want it
