Scratch

I started this game a while ago and it's taking me a really long time to finish. Basically it's a platformer RPG similar to the online game maple story. The game will involve completing a few simple quests before facing the final boss.

The game will have 3 different character classes which are: warrior,archer, and magician. Each character class will have it's own unique upgradeable class based abilities.

When you defeat a monster it will occasionally drop gold in different amounts depending on it's difficulty. The gold can be used to buy weapons or magic potions or let you stay at an inn and recover your HP and MP.

The quests will involve basic tasks such as killing a certain number of a specific monster or collecting special quest items only certain monsters drop. Each quest will have it's own area to explore and once you are finished one quest you move on to the next.

What I have done

-RPG style battle engine
-platformer engine
-Monsters with different difficulties depending on the area
-item drops from monsters
-character classes and abilities
-1 area (each area is 5-7 rooms)


What I need to make

-shops and inns
-purchasable weapons and potions
-quests
-more areas to explore
-some sort of story
-better animation and pictures
-boss with unique look and AI

What I am working on now

I am currently working on the main castle area where there is:
-shops and inns
-purchasable weapons and potions
-portals to quest areas

I am having somewhat of a hard time doing this so it might take a while.


I haven't been working on the game as much as I have wanted to because I have a lot of other things I need to do over the summer but I am trying to work on it at least once a day.

I would really appreciate it if you would share your thoughts on the game and tell me what you think should be included.
