Hello.
I recently decided in my game to use a color-coding system for my Treasures. I did this because I had to have 3 chests with unique graphics to indicate, at a glance, how they are meant to be interacted with. I decided, "well, why not do this with all the chests? Maybe this will make getting to loot exciting?".
I really have no way of testing if this actually is exciting or not. I don't even have a way to know if this is an interesting concept beyond what I think of it (in other words, I like the idea, but I know I'm biased towards liking my own ideas). I'm not even sure if I've ever seen another RPG implement something like this.
I've currently got 4 Treasure Chests that show the kind of loot you'll be getting. Red Chests have Weapons in them. Blue Chests have Armor in them. Green Chests have Consumables in them. Yellow Chests have Currency in them (not just the standard currency, but also 3 other, more rare currencies).
So, what I'm asking is, does this seem at all interesting from a player perspective? Is it helpful in any way? Is it exciting to know that those three chests in the treasure vault have two weapons and a currency in them? Is it fun to see that Blue chest just out of reach up on a ledge? What do you think? Should Treasure Chests be color coded?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
