I'm making a game set in a modern-fantasy world where the characters are based on me and my friends. It originally started as a joke.
It's a standard turned-based JRPG where my character (I uh, mean the main character) ends up dragging her friends on an adventure through places in the city. It'll be pretty dungeon-crawler like. A minimal time system where some of the part members are at work and can't join you and everyone has the same amount of skills. Plus a passive and a field ability (such as lighting the dungeon or detecting traps). Optional places to visit, like a haunted mansion or swamp.
The game starts off with me and my fiance chilling on the couch when something disturbs my animal companions - I'm an elf and brought my "pets" into the city with me. Insert first battle. The next part is one of my friends had tripped and lost her wedding ring in the sewer, and my adrenaline from the night before kicks in. I'm rearing to go find it. XD
In the sewer, I see several different disturbing/weird things that makes me question the local factory. I tell my boss (I'm a newspaper writer) who says if I have evidence, I could write about it. Something like that.
I've been trying to think of a name for this game for months and nothing's come to mind. Any ideas?
