2D RPG Development
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:33 am
I'm very new to the forums, which must seem pretty obvious since this is my first post, but please know that I have been
viewing threads/topics on this forums without a registered account.
CONCEPT
I'm currently developing a vast 2D RPG named after the world it takes place in, Cratex. The objective of the game is to simply
own all of the territories in Cratex. And to accomplish this, you need to be both powerful and wealthy, and the process
of earning these two properties for your character make up majority of the game play.
I'm not going to get into too much detail about the game's concept (I feel as if I already have XD), mostly because I feel that I'm not far enough in the development
process.
PICTURES/VIDEOS
Please read this before viewing the media: All of the sprites/tiles, other than the UI, are not drawn by me and were either
found in the deep depths of Google Images, or were ripped off of some 2D games. I'm currently drawing my own sprites for the game, of course,
but for testing purposes I'm using the sprites shown in these pictures and videos.
Picture of dialogue box (Very old. And no, there isn't any fishing in the game AT THE MOMENT.)
Picture of the current pause menu screen. The buttons are mouse oriented.
Picture of the new, simple UI (Drawn by me, for once XD). Still a work in progress.
Picture of the newly implemented magic system.
The spell in this picture is "Leech" or "Life Leech". Basically, while holding the attack button and in range and direction
of an enemy, you will leech your opponents health. What this means is that he will lose health, while you gain a small percentage of what he's losing while the spell is active.
This spell consumes a lot of your character's magic, and is not very effective at low levels. (As seen on the update video XD)
Video update for 11/10/11 to 11/20/11 (Please watch in 720p fullscreen, at the moment of the video where I demonstrate the Leech spell, the effects are very hard to see
unless you are viewing the video at 720p fullscreen.)
