This is the game project I'm working on right now, based on the concept of letting the player design their own skills. It's been rattling around in my head for some time, but I've finally gotten started, woot! Right now I'm working out the wrinkles in the class/stats system's balance. Instead of having explicit classes, the player chooses a set of tendencies that shape their strengths and limitations. I've got it mostly straightened out, but there's one or two stat anomalies left to smash. Anyway, here's a preliminary screenshot showing the partially completed class selection screen.
The gameplay itself is intended to be Diablo-like, as far as hectic fighting and procedural dungeons. I'm really not sure what (if anything) I want to do with it story-wise right now. At the moment, I'm just focusing on the gameplay dynamics, and (hopefully) making it fun. ;) Here's to progress!~Chloe <3
That looks pretty nice, but uh, looks like some kind of weird program you download for vista or something, idk, all the lights and such makes it look like that. :S
That screen makes me think "racing game" not "RPG", and especially not "swords and sorcery RPG". Is it temporary, or are you going for a unique (schizophrenic =D) feel?
I think the graphics would work just fine if you kept the gameplay that style, kinda cartoony.
This is going to be great.
Get rid of the stars and I'd be good
I hadn't really thought about it, but you're right. Reminds me of Mario Kart. :Þ
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with "unique (schizophrenic =D) feel". The cartooniness is an intentional departure from the same old look of hack'n'slashers. This is all about the gameplay, not the world.And don't worry, Rawr. You won't get nearly that many stars. ;)Well, I can imagine that would fit a jRPG with extremely anime graphics… still, the violet font above the stars looks kind of meh.
You should get a flowing colour scheme because right now, im my opinion, the colors are clashing a little bit.
Design your own skills? Awesome!
Oh, and by the way, long time no see, Xemrel. It's mageknight53 from like three or four years ago.
