Project Oscine - Build the Perfect Team!

[Arkecia]

 ​

Do you have what it takes to lead your group and create the perfect fighting force?​

 ​

 ​

The Mission:​

You are a soldier integrated into a research team that is using its expertise to create super-soldiers. At the top of your class, you are picked to lead a small team to undergo test runs, determining which of the jobs and abilities researched will be the best to mass produce.

The tests you run will decide what humanity will use against the various monsters appearing all over the war-torn post-apocalyptic world. The mission is of vital importance, and the sooner the legions of Neohomen are dealt with, the sooner our planet can be rebuilt.

The Team:​

 ​

Amber - The Lead Researcher: She has been entrusted with overseeing the various test runs and is in charge of activating the realistic simulations. Amber speaks in a flat, snarky tone; desiring results more than companionship. However, she has been known to crack a few jokes here and there, possibly showing her true face in the process.

MC - The Team Leader: This blank slate of a character is the one who always excelled at war and tactics, and is given permission to choose the class and skills of him/herself and the rest of the team. The name and gender of this character is chosen by the player.

Kairos - The Jolly Dreamer: Leaving behind a large family in order to gain the means to protect them, he gladly learns from the MC in order to protect his children's future. Kairos is normally all smiles and once he begins talking about his wife or daughters, stopping him from speaking too much is a task in itself.

Laiera - The Determined Soldier: Her goals in life have always been to prove that she is not weak and do the job as good as any other. With an extremely focused mindset, it's a wonder Laiera is also able to kick back and have fun when the situation calls for it.

Zelkas - The Quiet Enigma: He rarely speaks, and joined the military without any prior background checks to determine his past. To add more to it, Zelkas never speaks unless spoken to, and unless you break his shell, it'll be a wonder if he even speaks at all.

The Classes:​

Before I get into classes, I put in spoilers the elements and their respective states to give a better idea their skillsets.  Each elemental attack has a chance to inflict their attached state.​

This is my first completed game, so I hope you all will enjoy it! Basically it is a dungeon crawler consisting of quick dungeons all to see if the characters you molded are able to handle whatever difficulty arises. It'll be to test my ability to create interesting gameplay. Story is light, but not non-existent and characters are fleshed out by speaking to them during each safe zone.

PS: And again, there are difficulty settings.

 

[Arkecia]

So I have quite a few people off-site who won't have much time to beta test my coming game on account of it being a major holiday  and it made me realize I was working towards a release date that probably wouldn't be best for a first timer in the sea of new systems/games coming to a (possibly) majority of players via presents.

So I've decided to push the release date back a bit into the middle of January, but my beta testers will most likely get the game in the beginning of Jan.

If you're interested in helping me test out my game as a beta tester yourself let me know either through PM or this thread.

I will be updating the post above this to reflect these changes. 

 

[Bonkers]

I'm eager to try that demo and give you some feedback.  

In the mean time I've re-evaluated what team I'd like to take, and I can't find a dedicated healer outside of the monk for his party effect of "Potency".  Is there going to be a medic on the team or some skills that focus on non lethal healing?  

Will Anomalies be completely random in spawn or set at various points in the dungeon?

Will having recklessness and then beserking cause 0 defenses for the duration of the two, be cumulative and defenses at 25%?

How will upgrades be handled?  Will there be an armory for characters to choose from or is all equipment based off dungeon exploration and boss killing?

 

[Arkecia]

Hey thanks for the interest paladinthug; to answer your questions:

There are a few others who have heal based abilities outside of the monk, but basically what I listed are abilities that only that particular class can learn.  The monk, paladin, reverant, and specialist have access to Prayer which is a move that heals based on their max magic, which is increased based on the equipment you use on them.  Just like Potency would imply, there are also a lot of healing items available both in dungeons and shops in the safe zones.

Anomalies are in special rooms, some are a lot more obvious than others and they are set to that particular dungeon, so you'll only find one of the anomalies in their particular dungeon.

Recklessness and Berserk's abilities stack up based on percentages, so defense would lower to 25% rather than 0.

As for armor, they can be purchased by the time you get past the first dungeon, but armor and weapons are available in dungeons to be stolen and later the enemies have a small chance to drop them normally.  These weapons and armors found in dungeons are the next set of equipment not found until the next few safe houses selling previous equipment.  So just for explanations sake let's say equipment have ranks.  Just before the second and third dungeons rank 2 equipment is bought from the Safe Zones.  During the second and third dungeons, the dungeons themselves have drops for rank 3 equipment.

If you're thinking of what to pick out now for your team since no demo is available yet, I could give you the list of skills each class has to choose from, or update the main post to show them in their entirety to give something for people to look at.

 

[Bonkers]

Definitely update the main post.  I would like to see what everyone brings to the table for planning purposes.

 

[Arkecia]

Okay; I just updated the main post to show all of the class skills each class can choose from + added an element chart and their states.

Knowing the element and what states they cause is pretty much essential to understanding what a few of the skills do.

Just updating my thread since I now have a definitive date for the completed game's beta download which will be available to testers by January 6th.

I have been pretty busy lately getting hit with some odd news this Christmas, but the full game is still scheduled for a Jan. release. To anyone who might be interested, I am still taking PMs and forums posts for those asking to beta test this game.

To those with a morbid curiosity, here is what still needs to be done:

Spoiler

- 22 more boss monsters need to be made. (this includes the 10 optional anomaly bosses.)
- Finish up the puzzles in dungeons 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- Finish up the final dungeon. (rest of the maps are made)
- Dialogue between the main character and party members in Safe Zones.

Things getting in the way  :

- Tales of Xillia

- The Last of us

- The Pretender (TV Series)

Wow that is an immense workload for one game.  I thought I was busy with the intro and other elements like custom icons for game files.  I'm looking forwards to trying the content out and testing for you, right now I am trying to prepare a team in advance.

Will each zone be element specific or will they be random with how enemies use skills, as in 3 or more different elements that can happen with the same trash or boss?  When we defeat anomaly will we get bonus content in safe zones?  Can equipment add elemental status or buffs like skills?  Will elemental buffs and debuffs decrease in rounds and tick off after battle, or can they be used out of battle to go into a fight with them on?  Do certain skills or armor prevent status or lock an element?

 

[Arkecia]

I totally underestimated my own workload thinking I'd be done by now, but I didn't account for all the monsters I decided to make so that the game has replay value beyond optional bosses and continued dialogue. I kinda hit a mindblock trying to make each one unique, so I finally had to take a break from them by the time I got halfway through the boss enemies.

Anyway you always seem to ask just the right questions!  As for the answers:

Each dungeon has a visual theme and the enemies themselves go with that theme.  Their elements are fairly balanced to two elements per dungeon, so each dungeon has two fire elemental enemies and so on.  These enemies usually have attacks that go with their perspective element, but some of them are more physical or status effect based.  In the first dungeon there is a high HP, but very low defense enemy that raises defenses and heals other enemies, so they don't have skills to their respective elements. There are also quite a few enemies that use their neighboring skills alongside their primary element, so an Ice enemy will sometimes use Water skills too.

Defeating an Anomaly will give you the Augments they drop which are used to either teach the player their best skills, or increase stats by a certain amount depending on which anomaly you face.  You can also steal their best augment which will give you two of them if you add in the normal drop as well. Defeating all of them also gives you access to one of the game's secrets which will net another set of dialogue after completing a run (beating every dungeon once) and allow access to another secret found in one of the dungeons.

I think that little block of text also answers the next question, which is that equipment can add skills, specifically the Augs.  Weapons and Armors each add a skill too, but they are accessed differently.  Weapon skills replace normal attack with an added bonus or a different skill altogether, while armor skills replace the guard command.  One such example is the first armor giving the default Guard command, but a later armor will also add a defense boost stat or heal a bit of HP; stuff like that.

None of the elemental buffs/debuffs last forever, there will be documentation in game that lists how long effects last if the player chooses to read up on them.  They normally last between 4 to 8 turns, and all status effects including death are removed after battle. (This does not include passive skills like ATK Plus which never go away)

There is a set of armor that will get rid of status effects on defense, and certain skills will prevent status effects altogether like Safeguard and Defend.  There's also Augments later in the game that will let you prevent an enemy's effects from continuing.

 

[Neverward]

Wow this looks like a really fun game, the characters are interesting and have good depth! Plus that elements system, and your detailed class system is rather impressive! I especially like the graphics. I don't own any resource packs or know who made them (and it's not in your credits) so would you mind helping a curious person out and let me know who did that awesome tile-set, and the sprites? ^^ Are they DS?

I'm keeping an eye on this one, I can't wait to play the demo! I'm a huge fan of Sci-Fi RPGmaker games. Especially one that looks this cool, as well as it being your first game!

 

[Arkecia]

Thanks for the interest Neverward!

The credits will probably be posted tomorrow as I have the finished credits file at home in its entirety for the in game credit reel. The resources are infact DS from the DS+ Resource set made for VX and ACE thanks to Archeia and crew.  I made the most out of them and pretty much use the whole set's graphics for the various dungeons.

The game is indeed Sci-Fi; the setting outside the research center isn't seen outside of the test simulations, but the 9th dungeon most represents how the outside world looks in its current state thanks to the monsters created by a virus. Their leader Neohomen is actually its creator who had been completely consumed and mutated by the first strain of the virus, something touched upon in the game's intro sequence.

I'm also glad you like the character snippets; there will be many chances in between the dungeons to really get to know them. I'm hoping I can get the feeling of camaraderie across, so they'll slowly open up to the main character the more you speak to them. That includes the non talkative Zelkas.

 

[veraeve1]

Seems very interesting thus far with character info and the classes, The anomalies feature seems neat. Sci-fi theme is a + for me =)
I'd like to give the Demo a whirl once its available

 

[Arkecia]

Thank you, and I'll make sure to pm you a demo of the beta if you're interested.

As for the game itself, I am done everything except the events between the player and his/her companions. I am spending a day on each since there are about 50 chances for new dialogue for each one. It gets pretty time consuming, but I'm determined to release it for testing on the planned date.

In the meantime I have made a quick video showcasing a boss battle just as a teaser to pump up/scare potential players:



Sorry ahead of time about the quality, don't really have much in the form of video editing.

 

[Bonkers]

Looks like battle will be really involved.  There are a ton of inventory items.  Are we going to see that much off in starting play, or are those just for us to test out as much as possible?  

EDIT: Ah they look like junk synth items from trash mobs.

 

[Arkecia]

Man, people who play RPGs are really mean with the terminology, but yeah 13 of the items in that vid's menu are really just there for the player to sell as the monster's loot since even in a simulated world (where it would actually make sense for once) I didn't want all these different types of enemies dropping the equivalent of gold. There are 25 items in all that's purpose is to sell them, and 20 items that are used in battle. (most of those are status healers/boosters)

There won't be any synthesis; I'd get too ambitious and never finish the project.

Speaking of the project, I have an update and an apology to make.  My home needs a new boiler for my basement, so I have no heating. In order to heat my home I put two space heaters on the bottom and top floors, well the power to my top floor went out due to it being a really old house with crap wiring, and I bet you can guess what I was doing when the power went out?  I completely lost the day's work since I make manual backups, and the corrupted data erased the character events I did for both Kairos and Laiera. I could totally take another day and power through their events again, but I really don't have it in me for now.

I'm a spur of the moment type of person, so I don't have their dialogue anywhere to copy/paste, leaving me with having to make something completely different under the same general idea. I also lost the Anomaly boss data, but that I can easily remember for the time being.  The game however, is on a definite hiatus until I feel mentally prepared to redo something I am really burned out from doing.

The game will still be released this month, but will be in open beta since I'll end up releasing the game during the time I had planned a worldwide release anyway.  I won't be bumping this project with info until I am able to post the completed game, but it's far from dead. I will complete it; even if I really don't feel like it; it helps that I grew attached to the characters which is odd since it's not a particularly story based game.

Once again I apologize for yet another delay, but hey at least I'm not going to give up!

 

[Arkecia]

So it took a month longer than I had originally planned, but the important part for a one person developer is to actually finish. It's taught me quite a bit about what to expect, even had a couple wrenches thrown into the cogs that weren't game bug related, so that's cool.

I'm finally bumping up this post to tell everyone that the game is in fact completed now! I played through it four different times in order to make sure everything works, so going through multiple playthroughs in the same file is now possible without anything impeding progress.

I hope everyone who plays my game enjoys it, and I'd love to hear the class builds you choose for a dungeon run. It was interesting playing through my OWN game and not knowing what the enemy is going to do to me. That's the perk? of making over 200 unique enemies for 10 dungeons and then leaving them be for a month.

The download link will be left on this post here:

as well as on the main post.

 

[Archeia]

Moving to Completed Games. Congratulations!

 

[MagicMagor]

Yay and found the first bug. "Can't find graphic: animations\gun1" encountered in the first battle. Seems there was something going wrong when encrypting that game.

 

[Arkecia]

So I was missing one of the animations; just checked them and it's fine now; uploaded the newest version and there shouldn't be anymore problems like that.  Thanks for pointing it out MagicMagor!  I almost went to sleep and it'd be uncool not to have the quick fix for it. 

I've updated the download, sorry for the inconveniences; can't believe I missed a file.

 

[ChaoticLapras]

Woo! Congratulations for completing your game! I wish I could finish mine. I'm downloading it now, I'll probably leave some feedback tomorrow when I've played with it a bit!

It looks really good so far, I can't wait to play!
 

EDIT: Totally in love with the assassin and reaper classes after reading all the class stuff. Looks like I'll overuse them, and probably use hunter and specialist a little too.

EDIT 2: Just selected my last class and stuff for people. Noticed a spelling error when selecting classes (first time remember) it says equipmet instead of equipment or something.

EDIT 3: Retiring for the night. I just got to the first safezone inside of the place. I was rank six afterwards, getting all the treasure and stuff.

Really, really good game so far! I don't have time to leave detailed feedback right now, but I'll give you some tomorrow!
