"One of the first side scrolling RPG's"

Haha, no.

>Sidescrolling
>RPG

You'd seriously need to have experience as a game designer, because if any of your design choices are at odds with the odd flow of the two genres clashing together, then your game will be "Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" tier bad.

Seriously. Either go with sidescroller or with straight up RPG.

It's sidescrolling except with magic and weaponry. Is that so bad?

Playing as a girl. I can be like Libra.

Yes, actually.

Game design is a lot harder than you think it is, and you'll end up with what is ultimately a broken game that no one wants to play.

That is not true at all. I've been designing this game for three months. The gameplay is all set.


The magic will be pretty much just bolts of fire and lightning that go directly in front of you. Along with advanced spells that damage everything on the screen. Then an interchangable sword will be standard.


If you mean programming, then it will depend on the crew.

You've been designing it for three months, and you're just now telling us?

Let me tell you a story about a man named Daisuke Amaya. He's an indie game developer. He spent over five years making the game Cave Story all by himself. He made the story, music, music creation program, map program, etc. all by himself. This is his job. All that time and effort, and Cave Story has about two hours of gameplay, yet it's one of the greatest indie games of all time. Now he makes money off it. He makes money off a game that was intended to be free.

Are you prepared to do that?

>I've been designing it for months by this point.

What's the current iteration of the gameplay design? Did you factor player input into it? Did you account for the possibility of deviant behaviour? Why did you make all the choices you did?

I want more than "lol i worked on it for three months", because Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had a similar design period and ended up being a prime example of the designers breaking all the conventions of Game Design.

Oh I actually like the Libra idea.

I'm just now telling you because it wasn't originally intended to tell you. I wasn't aware that I am supposed to tell 3dsplaza my every move.


I can assure you. I am not making DJ&MH.

>I feel like I didn't need to tell anyone I already worked on part of it.

And you're asking for assistance?

Either do the rest yourself or be more open about what you're doing/have done. There's no middle ground here.

If you need at least one of every job, then what did you do for the past 3 months?
