RPG Maker Forums

Hello everyone,


I've been working on this project on-and-off for about a month now, and I think I finally have a basic version of what I'm going for. I'd appreciate any questions, feedback, or concerns, especially since I'm pretty new to RPG Maker. Without further ado, let me introduce Colosseum!


Synopsis


The Colosseum is a place where people from all over the world come to test their strength and compete for fame and glory. Your goal is to assemble a team strong enough to defeat all challengers, and become champions!


Features

• turn-based combat
  
• team-building mechanic where you hire warriors to fight for you in battle
  
• strategic boss fights

Project Roadmap


With this project, I am going to focus more on mechanics than story. Right now it's pretty bare-bones with just one character and one enemy. My goal is to introduce more features, characters, and enemies over the course of development with a steady stream of releases. 


Phase 1


This phase involves getting the basic gameplay mechanics set up. This would involve adding more characters, more enemies, and an in-game economy


Characters - The only character available is the Fighter, but I'd like to add 4-5 more characters by the end of this. I would start with basic classes like healers and black mages, and then maybe add more specific and interesting classes later


Enemies - Right now there is a single enemy character, the Old Captain. I'd like to have at least 10 enemies by the end of this phase, each of which is difficult, but with flaws that can be exploited if you build your team right


In-Game Economy - I want to start players off with a specific amount of money at the start of the game. They can use this money to invest in building a strong team, or maybe in single-use items. Players should be able to choose a strategy that works for them


Phase 2


As a more long-term goal, I'd like to build a better website around this, incorporating some social components


The game would appear on the left. On the right would be a sidebar, displaying an updating record of other players battling in the Colosseum. Each entry would display the name of the player, the team they are using, the enemy they fought, and whether they won or lost. This information would only be publicly available if the Player signed in and allowed this information to be publicly available.
