Holy Macross idea time

Holy Macross is my main game project. It absorbs my other projects which were planned to be absorbed anyway. They were mainly just different tests for different ideas just so they could be put in Holy Macross. Save for Igarashi Quest. That was pre-Holy Macross.

Right.

The game's combat system will consist of two buttons: Weak (S) and Strong (D). You basically do combinations with the two to create DEVASTING COMBOS. Of course, I'll be keeping the spell system which is doing key sequences to do cheap attacks that drain MP. Most of the time though, the strong button will attack as the finisher so you're be fighting more like a Dynasty Warrior than Ryu Hayabasa (XBOX STYLE).

Enemies will also not jump around like idiots unlike my old games. Well, most enemies. Slimes just have to do that. Overall, this less jumpiness of enemies will make the game easier and much more enjoyable because it won't be frustrating because robots suddenly just landed on you and wiped your health out.

The game takes place in seperated world. You access different areas via the world map. Though, there will be interconnections at times. The areas in the game are far to distant to be exploring on foot and not instant travel. Example: Edo Castle to New Delhi.

The game will also utilize your weapon as a way to platform. Hitting the rails of… something will cause the player to do an extra jump (Actually, a flip). I plan on the game being very platformer-heavy in parts and this will add freshness I guess.

Holy Macross will also include puzzles to spice things up. Don't expect them to be brainteasers though. They'll be quite simple. Besides, I suck at making puzzles.

Holy Macross will also sport a save system instead of save every room. Mainly to fix a bug though and not considering gameplay. Well, they'll heal you but that just means I'll make the enemies hit you harder and distance the save points. :P

I'm thinking of adding one of those battle arena type areas like that area in Valkyrie Profile or the Tower of Evermore in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. Just an area filled up with monsters. Half-assed dungeon crawling for the weary hero!

Also,

Kuu Yubi Mode! Yes, Kruru is no more. It's being implemented in this game as a not secret mode unlockable at start. Standard Castlevania bonus character affair though. Overpowered and no items. Expect stories though. Kuu Yubi Mode will serve as a backstory to the game.

Now, the revised story: Shives Yamandra, an Indian man who looks Hispanic becuase he's light skinned, has started a Hindu cult. Now, Shives proclaims he's the incarnation of Shiva. How the hell does he draw in followers? He draws in the followers in saying he's purifying the world. In a way, he really is. He hunts demons. Thing is: He absorbs their power. Secretly, he's an asshole and absorbing this power to rule the world. Yes. He's a cliche villian, but he's Indian so he's innovative. D:

The cult seems to be full of power-hungry assholes too since he promised them the power of the Gods.

Main character is Pan Belnades. He only gets involved because the cult has been causing havoc in his little island city of Neo Kobe. You know, the cult's raping girls and killing cats. So, Pan goes after them because he likes pure women and because Gio Matsuda, a prominent member of the cult, ran over his love interest's cat and then demands that Pan pays for the mess on his motorcycle.

So, Pan goes to DARM, secret Japanese demon hunting agency! He is a Belnades after all. The Belnades are a superior clan of witches and men who can't use magic as well. He joins up with them to stop the assholistic Hindu cult and blah.
