Are you asking for ideas on how to store data in your RPG. Like how a shop can have items?

If so, here is what I came up with my RPG. it can be tweaked:

I am using an array, and each row is an item, with each slot represnting a property of an item.
Something like:

smallshop = [[ "Beautiul Painting", "$500"],
[ "Mediocre Painting", "$250"]];


You know something like that, where you know the first entry is a name or price. Something to that extent. You can make it infinitely more complicated or simpler, to suit your needs.

thanks for the suggestions but i am not up to scripting just yet i just want some ideas on what stuff to add to the store to give it more detail...i.e. like the pots, closet, table anything else i can add or does it look just fine like that. am building a weapons shop and armor shop any ideas are welcome.

I am still coding the engine at the moment. I am tweaking the scrolling functions to try to reduce how much code it uses, and then I have to write my inventory system.

Add in items etc on display (on the counter, shelves)

hey thanks for the sugestion i added potions on the shelves i am adding a fruit basket on top of the table.

i was also thinkin should i change the perspective of the closet to be facing right so that the player can get near it press the "action button" and open it and find an "item" or "money"?

ur game is gonna be tile base right? i was thinkin to do my game tile base but i find doing it that way is wayyyyyyyy too advance for me and i dont really like that much the way the graphics look on a tile base rpg...at least of the ones i have seen which is not that many.

this is the final look of one of the 12 item/weapon/armor/shield shops i am planning to do comments are welcome if any...

Yay that was great! I hope that the other scenes are just as good, like battle backgrounds, chatter, different locations etc.

[mixedtrigeno]

thanks a lot man they will be the only thing that is givin problem to figure out is the inventory cuse i am tryin to create the inventory without using the mouse instead using the arrows...but then again i guess that will another threat hahahaha...

NOTE: by the way those of you wandering wat is that red upside down T on the scene that my perspective point. every horizontal lines from the that point...
