Thanks! any ideas for plot or mechanics?
mechanics, no. But plot could be like you barrowed money from a big mafia boss and have yet to repay it, now he is sending his men after you to kill you. try to survive and take revenge on the mofia boss.
bump because this died fast and i still need ideas
Hey there! I think that would be cool! Consider utilizing the banner devices combined with channels. I think it would be cool if you made it sort of open world, but you had to cross bridges or break barriers to move on the the next stage
Could you be a bit specific on what you are looking for?
Aren’t there guides for this?
Map ideas if your bored because why not
Map ideas to cure your boredom (reply with more ideas)
They want ideas for a specific map, not a list of general ideas
General ideas on how the level design should be, and what the basis of the play-style* should be.
I’m thinking of having the main map be open, sort of like Undertale, but having enter-able areas with fightable enemies that you have to defeat to unlock a reward or reach a boss.
That way the empty parts stay empty to be used to travel between points rather than being an empty area that was once designed to be a battlefield.
The part I’m confused on is: Should the levels be split? Should they be a continuous long segments like Half Life, or should they be split up like Mario?
*Play-style is how the different functions in the game would come together to play out
ex.
You could make a game like Prodigy! I would recommend them being continuous, and having checkpoints throughout….
What do you want to do with your map? Like pvp? A place for purchasing items? The town I mean
Kind of like this? It’s very basic, but I guess I’m saying that like levels are in different areas around the map, and shops/buildings serve as a relative location to those areas. Levels will be unlocked as the story progresses, and they’ll be used as plot points.
OOH! I love that idea and that you are really planning for the game before jumping in. I don’t think I’ll be much help if you don’t like any of the other ideas I had, but good luck!
So it’s like a progressive game and the town is like the backdrop(?)
do you want to put something like a resturant inthere?
Sure, but what would its use be? Would it be a store, or a setting for a cutscene/level?
Can the restaurant be like a place to heal up?
you could sell food that might be heath cans
Maybe it could be unlocked for use after completing a mission there, probably early on in the game since it’s vital.
yeah probely, might be a good idea
