Hey everyone. So a contest is starting today in about an hour. I want to report on this as I have been notified and asked to be a part of it.
So, the challenge is to build a fully playable RPG Video Game on a very limited engine. My limits are so...
10 Playable Characters
10 Character Classes
126 Skills
16 Items
60 Weapons
60 Armors
30 Enemies
25 States
110 Animations
4 Tilesets
20 Maps
As you may have noticed, I can only use 4 tilesets. Yes, this engine is a 2D running engine, so it does use tiles, just like in pokemon or old Final Fantasy titles. Each tile is 32x32 pixels and each tileset is 512x512 pixel format. So if you do the math and really think of it, this is my biggest problem in this challenge. That is extremely limited. BUT, I do think I want to do this.
So, here is my question for you guys. What do you think this RPG should be about? Here are some of my own ideas, but feel free to throw out another one or two to help out. I could use any help I can get when brainstorming.
IDEAS
Modern RPG: More comedic, set in modern times.
Japanese RPG: Set in feudal Japan, complete with samurai and such.
Medieval Epic: Dragons, Orcs, Elves, and such.
Pokemon: Play as the pokemon to save your forest or the likes.
I will admit, I am leaning a bit towards the pokemon due to me already having a good amount of resources for it, but I can easily get resources for the others quickly if I have to.
So, what do you guys think?
And btw, if all goes well, I will keep you guys updated on the game and release it right here on Warfare Online, free of charge and in complete form... playable from beginning to end.
