I’m trying to make the same thing, just it’s more of military and war.
Wizard spells: Summon Sentries, get damage boost, etc.
Quests: Defeat Sentry Boss
Buildings: Wizard tower
Other: You know Minecraft, like the hero of the village achievement, you could try to make something like that, which makes everything cheaper
You could add a Chapel, A side quest to supply a village with food and resoreces an ice spell where the floor is slippery, so mele enenmys will slip but the raged will not
I wish the quadrakill post was still there, there were lots of spell ideas.
Maybe a flash-bomber?
It activates a random trigger that activates a zone around it that stuns the player (popup softlocking for 3 seconds)
Or a medic who can’t fight but has high health and can heal random people
For wizard spells in combat, you would need a coordinate system most likely. From there though, you can do a ton of things!
You could also have non-combat spells that allow you to, say, freeze water or something. That could be used for puzzles or other puzzle-like things.
Quests can be done pretty easily with a couple pop ups and properties, and you could have anything from gathering items (then checking if they’re in the inventory when interacting with the quest giver) to killing things (just a death counter from a certain area).
RPGs are super fun to come up with ideas for, so if there’s anything else you need ideas for I’m always up to help
You could use a popup that shows for a certain amount of time (using triggers) and can’t be closed. (Popup-Softlocking!)
The black barrier thing is kinda impractical.
