Have been working on a JRPG prototype on and off now on Unity, wanna take a leap of faith on this forum to try and finish it with your support and feedback.
Title: QualiaGenre: JRPGPlatform: PSVita ( since they opened up their development + they support a pipeline with Unity )
Selling points:1. A command based battle system that rewards timing, a feature that I always like in my JRPGs.
2. Simple skills customisation and intuitive battle controls ( simply make a link from unit to unit to trigger command )
- Heroes and mobs are arranged in a 4 v 4 layout similar to the D-Pad buttons and the 4 buttons on the right of your PSVita/controller.
- Of course, they are assigned to the respective buttons.
- Simply form up different linkages ( e.g. Hero A to Hero B, or Hero A to Mob A + B + C ) to trigger commands.
- Commands use up turn currency known as Link Points ( I guess you can call the battle system Link System too for now )
3.Deliver intense battles even with this almost intuitive control system.
- Parry against an enemy's multi-hit attack, like in SF3 Daigo vs Justin Wong, which rewards you bonus link points.
- Fend off any attacks until link points charge to 100 ( there's no cap, as long as you remain alive ), then unleash hell on enemies.
4.A fairly simple plot ( I'm no writer ) and short game ( 5 to 6 hours for a start first )
In Sine Qua, a world similar to ours, an ancient organisation stepped out of the shadows when they destroyed modern civilisation with a bio-engineered nano-machine pandemic. Known as the Nascents, their predecessors had been behind every destruction of lost, advanced civilisations of the past. The last survivors escaped into space, and it wasn't till a century that they, or what's left of them, descended to bring an end to this self-righteous group of mass murderers.
What's done so far:1. A working prototype that tests out various modules ( battle/cutscene/dialog/encounters/xml save files etc ).
Some gifs ( with working assets )
Dialog+Cutscene
Battle System
Map movement + Encounter transition.

2. Character concepts
3. Environment concepts
4. Storyboard
5. Game data planning
6. Assets planning

8. Coding
9. Polishing
Look forward to some sketches next!
