The Abandoned World
Details On The Engine used:
I really can't decide on the engine used on the project; I'm wanting to use Pixel Game Maker MV; though that engine is more expensive and too new to touch on... that and it's not even fully developed. There is an early access to it over Steam, but it's not even out fully yet. I'll be trying to use RPG Maker MV here, but the amount I'm wanting to do will heavily differ so take what is used with a grain of salt to what I can attain and afford or can get my hands on.
Type of Game:
This title is a top down action RPG; or a legend of Zelda Link to the Past Clone with a few difference's.
♦: The Player's body can only take so much; Or rather, taking too much damage at once can be very hazardous until the player rest's or use very expensive medicine. To put into better terms; say your link, you fight a Octorok from the GBC game; they shoot rock and can do the touch of death, basic damage, can easily gain HP back. Come across a Moblin with a sword and get hit with that sword you not only take damage from that sword attack, YOUR HEARTS PERMANENTLY DROP BY 1 HEART! GAINING HEALTH WILL ONLY RECOVER BY THE REMAINING HEARTS!!!... Until you rest, you find somewhere safe to sleep, those hearts recover to their full original glory until you take more harder or harsher body damaging attacks.
♦: Magic Diversely Made!; I'm wanting to do a magic system similar to Two Worlds 2 and Final Fantasy 15 mixed together.... Or Rather, being able to gather elements of magic from the world and use that magic to make expendable spells from healing to lord know what else. As for Two Worlds 2 magic type... How do I describe it.... For folks who have never picked up the game due to bad polish or no interest in it's co-op, you can do a lot in their magic system, I recommend looking into this video.

All of the magic shown is something you can do in the game and they teach you how to MAKE these spells on the fly from the game's lore. Players and modders go as far as to even add their own spell modifiers to do even more crazy things with their magic system! It's INSANE!
The rest of the game.... More idea's will be added; but for a basic top down Action RPG; this is something I'd like to do and keep it basic for the time being with only those 2 complexities above.
The Story:
Eon's ago, the great fate's created a world using magic and bring to life several being's in their image. A Rabbit Like race referred to as Moust, a human like race referred to as Humez, a Dragon-Lizard like Race referred to as Varris, a Frog like race refferred to as Gelos and a fairy-elf-like race referred to as Lillu's. They share their knowledge and have provided them with their magic and near endless resources. It wasn't long until the denizens became greedy, not only wanting more from their deitiess, but more from the other race's and the fate's they worshiped. A war broke out with each of the people at the fate's throats; choosing not to pick sides or involve themselves further in their creation's greed, they flee the planet.
As they leave the world, the war's stopped for endless resources and no longer anywhere to get an endless source of magic and a different war began; a war for food, resources, money and land. As the years pass, their world begins to crumble and decay slowly. Without the fate's in place, without providing their magic, their oceans begin to dry up into massive great lakes and desserts, the massive forest's begin to give way to decay and infestation, the metals they harvest for begin to become more scarce and fresh water is difficult to come across. One evening, several comets come crashing onto the planet, being's advertising themselves as Avatar's and representing the fate's announce that the great fate's have built a new world and they would only select 2 beings from each race, a male and female to come with them to become immortals and repopulate their new-found utopia, though their creators would need time to reach the dying world to retrieve them and their 'choosen' worthy one's. The avatar's would infuse the being's they pick with powers similar to the Fate's and reproduce the magic needed to keep the dying world afloat long enough for the fate's to return.
A year or two pass as those chosen are seen as king's and queen's to be selected for the honor of carrying their heritage to the new world, though a larger number become enraged and jealous over the new-found treatment of the chosen. Some reason's selfish, other reason's being just. Though all the same, there was no way of changing things the way they we're now... That is, until another comet comes crashing down from the sky, carrying an avatar with a different goal in mind. Not a goal of Malevolence and destruction or a goal of peace and prosperity; but a goal to recitify a mistake made eon's ago and to partner with someone to see the task through.
Position's Open:
A small bit of everything; Artist's, Map and Dungeon design including interesting puzzles where you don't hold the hands of the player and have the player think on how to solve it, Musicians and composer's, writer's to help develop character's to populate and fill the world such as filling in the heritage of the Dragon-like Race Varris and their customs from the methods of battle and war savagery to their honor system of what they respect. Any other small end's that are needed as well to finish out the project; I don't have a complete fleshed out list of jobs.
