Im at the start of designing a game for MV
What i hope to have:
Rough summary of the Setting : The gods have punished the humans for their constant curiosity in higher powers and forces them to seal themselves away in a tower for about 200 years. as time passes they watch the world they once knew change from the tower, in fear to set foot outside with the wrath of the gods and their minions waiting for them. however the resources they were able to hold and survive on for so long have finally began to run dry, without much options they reluctantly open the doors to the once sealed tower. Now a new generation of humans explore the world, the All-race, said to be a perfect blend of all surviving races of humanity. The world has become a new dungeon to explore, but with the gods constantly watching will history just repeat itself?
The long version:
I would like to know what people think of the backstory so far and if possible, ideas for improvements
Current map place holders
What i hope to have:
- Transformations (at least 5 per person which is 4) more or less figured out how to do this
- Handmade Character graphics made by me(might need someone to do the battle graphics if i get LMB going) in the middle of desgining the important characters
- possibly use LMB - Linear motion battlers, if not, then the default SV battle system still deciding on yes or no
- great map settings, im not fond of parallax though Not the best map maker
- A good story thats easy to follow and will be broken into 4 parts or chapters Important parts done, ending decided
- A survival system: everyday a few people will die of natural causes and a few will be born, the more food you have the more chances of people surviving, furthering the story increases the cap and if the population hits a low number (roughly 100 or so) the gets a bad end Not started yet, still designing features

The long version:
In the beginning life was created by the gods, these gods watched as their creations, grew, learned, and evolved, over time these creatures lived in harmony with one another for many years and life was peaceful. However, humans, the creations at the top of the food chain began to become more aware of life, they questioned their very lives; why were they created? For what purpose was life created? They looked to the sky for the answer but the sky never responded. Humans, as curious as they were questioned their very makers, what created humans? What created gods? What are gods? To find the answers the humans wished to meet the very gods that created them, they built a tower to the sky, one that reached as high as the human eye could see in order to catch a glimpse of their creators. The tower was called the “God spiral”
What they found at the top was only their own destruction, the gods, enraged at the human’s persistence sent creatures of unimaginable power down to the lands, these creatures sole purpose were to eradicate humanity down to the last. As those atop of the Spiral looked below and saw they’re doomed brethren tears flowed from they’re eyes. Why would the gods hurt us so? We only seek knowledge, we only seek what makes the world, the world, so why? Before the tower could be destroyed, those who studied magic learned of a barrier that could protect themselves from the monster’s rampage, however the safe haven that was the tower placed a terrible burden on the humans, limited occupancy. The tower, though built high, was not as spacious enough to hold all of humanity, as a result, nearly 3/4s of the human population destroyed by the monstrous creatures, now known as God Beast and births were penalized as it strained the remaining food supply. Many Years have passed and the humans have lived in the tower slowly dwindling in numbers, safe from the monstrous creature’s outside.
Decades have past and a new generation has started to make their steps in the world. However, more people means more need for resources. With the resources stored beginning to run out more is needed for the survival of those inside the tower. And so, every day a squads of warriors are sent out to search for Resources to survive. The thought of exploring the that were said to be very different that in the past excites the young who feel cramped inside the tower. They set out to explore and keep their people alive.

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!
