While working today and discussing games with a coworker today, I came up with one final idea.
The idea would be to keep the basic idea behind the math-based combat system, retaining the action bar format I talked about in the previous post, but go about it like a fighter. Everything would be from a side scrolling view and the combos would tie in better to the playstyle.
I then got to thinking that the entire RPG could be a side scroller--similar to how games like Maple Story and Dungeon Fighter Online have done. I would want to keep the basic inventory, avatar customization, and puzzles. The main difference being that it is all side scrolling. However, the inventory and avatar could be dropped for sake of time constraint.
I feel that the game would not only be easier to play, but also a little easier to make.
Good thoughts. Use those as examples in your PowerPoint presentation.
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to look at ways that you can trim, if needed...and with a RPG, that would possibly be the case. Look at other games that may work as well or better. Research!
