In this game, my first project to be announced on these forums, a man named Leeves (yes, its corny, but you can change it...thankfully), a faithful soldier for the government of Tionica, soon learns that life is not as good as it seems and that sometimes taking the high road reads to a pothole. Along with his friend and fellow spearsman Posel, he turns his back to the Tionican government forever after his sister is kidnapped and brutally murdered in front of his eyes as he is tortured. Vowing to avenge his sister, he develops a small guerilla group and plans to attack the government from within...
And that's all you get to know for now. I just made that up off the top of my head; I have not yet began on the story.
IN THIS GAME YOU ARE MORTAL AND MUST KEEP YOURSELF FROM DYING OF HUNGER OR THIRST.
1. In this game, you can catch fish and eat them to keep your FP (Food Points) up. If your FP reach 0, then you will die!
2. Also, you can drink out of FOUNTAINS or fill up bottles with water to keep up your WP (Water Points). Again, failure to do so means death!
3. Not only that, but you must keep yourself from sleeping by resting in beds. In you SP (Sleep Points) reach zero, you will sleep automatically and will not be able to move for 30+ seconds as your character regains 20% of his/her sleep bar. Also, your character will slow down at 49%, 24%, and 11% sleep.
4. Food can rot and water can become contaminated! Yes, that's right folks, some of your items can go bad! However, better quality food will last longer and you can buy freeze-dried food for long trips or quests.
5. Part of the challenge of the game is your mortality! However, my goal is to make a challenge, not to make it tedious. Thus, I'm only going to make it so you have to take care of your sleep, hunger, and thirst every 8+ minutes.
6. You will be able to increase your FP, WP, and SP by increasing an endurance level or by doing various quests throughout the game!
7. Throughout the game, you MIGHT (i'm not quite sure yet) have various quests where you can chat with your fellow party members that either increase or decrease ytour relationship. This relationship bar will determine what quests you unlock.
8. Of course, weapon forging is all the rage! But why not take that a step further? I'm going to make it so you can forge rings, hats, shields, and spells as well! Why not?
9. Various places will have an extra challenge by draining your hunger, thirst, or sleep at a faster rate! For example, deserts would drain your water bar two to three times as fast.
10. You will level up stats such as fishing and mountaineering that will help you travel and collect needed supplies throughout the game!
That's about all I have for now... I'll keep you posted on my efforts!
