Goblin Tribes (New info + opinions on a feature needed)

[RockJohnAxe]

Hey Guys. Well im back and with all new shitz

Due to being unhappy with many aspects of An Epic Legend, and way to deep to start resculpting the entire game i decided to just move on to bigger and better things.

Which brings me to my new Project:


Goblin Tribes

Story
You are a strong warrior for a Goblin Tribe.  You have proved yourself in combat many times and have become a well-respected Goblin in your Tribe.

The Goblin King, King Slop, decided to start a New second Goblin Town.  A goblin scouting Party was sent by Blimp to the New Location several hours away.

That was Weeks ago and now King Slop is getting worried that something has happened. Being a strong warrior the King orders you to find the other blimp and the goblins that went missing, Then Secure "The Spot" and build a new town!.

Simple Right...   If only Everything Worked that way...



Features
-   You get to choose your Main Goblin Heroes Name.
-   You get to choose which Goblins you bring with you on the Blimp at the Very start. This will affect certain things later game.
-   Learn several types of gathering (Wood chopping, Plant Gathering etc)
-   Construct buildings, opening new items, vendors and options. (ex: Lumber Mill, Creature Housing, Blacksmith, Beast Stables, etc)
-   You get to decide what professions your villagers become, which affects many aspects of the game. (Example: alchemist, Smith, Worker etc)
-   Build your Town from the Ground up while defending it from Hostile Threats.
-   Collect many items during your travels to either build more buildings or craft equipment and other items.
-       Extremely Interactive World. Almost everything that you choose to do, will have an effect on the future.
-       This Game is Difficult. It is very possible, but wrong decisions can and will cost you.
-       Voice Acting adding an extra level of realism to the characters.

Description
Unlike my Last game (which was my first major game [An Epic Legend]) This game is an actual RPG. Unlike An Epic Legend which was an Open RPG which I found was just too open that you often didn’t know where to go next due to the world being so extremely large. 

This game follows a (fairly) Set course.
Although this game demands more skill in the actual combat than my old game.

Also unlike my last game im trying to keep the majority of the actual game a secret until you actually play it. With an Epic Legend i basically told you the entire game before you had even seen a Screen shot.

Ill have some updates and screen shots fairly soon.

This sounds like an Act Raiser meets Tolkien game.  I can totally dig that lol.

Heres a Screen shot of the Main Character (who is nameble) and 2 lackys being ambushed by a Boar!



Enjoy.


NOTE: THIS IS A VERY EARLY SCREEN SHOT. These Battle chars are temporary filler until mine are done.

[boozer]

Sounds good, i had the image of SPORE in my head with the tribal stage, sounds interesting should be fun to play

[Dominicy]

Sounds like it has the potential to be pretty good.  It'll take quite a bit of work, especially the whole "Everything you do will effect the world around you" aspect of the game, but I suppose all we can do is hope that you deliver on that.  :3  Good luck to you, good sir.

[Fisherson]

Sounds awesome, John. I like these kind of games myself. Building things, destroyong others, you can't lose!
...Unless you give up...

[RockJohnAxe]

To Touch slightly on the Interaction Aspect of the game.

You are given many decisions which do impact how the game plays out for you.

and Yes Dominicy, its a tangled Web of events, but it makes the game play extremely Fun, and allows for a little more re-play value.

option 1 - Leads to options 3 and 4
option 2 - Leads to options 3 and 5
option 3 - Leads to options 6 and 7
option 4 - leads to options 8 and 9
option 5 -  leads to options 8 and 10

This is a very general example, its relatively impossible to explain it in more detail without ruining some of the Game (which i refuse todo this time around)

[Prpl_Mage]

Sounds a bit like that game Sai was working on. The island game.
But I suggest not to use Lufia and FF1 graphics together as battle characters. Lufia was designed to face the screen(the game had no battlecharacters of their own) while FF1 had the enemies on the opposite side of the screen.

The idea is very good, add some more customization and it's game.

O dont worrypurple i got alot of fully original work in the game, but im not spoiling any surprises this time

which makes me think... i need atleast one person to help me take images i made and break them up onto a charset for me. i currently only have paint and its prooving a very slow and unreliable process.

Any help would be appreciated in this matter, thanks

[Hell Angel]

Yeah, the concept sounds cool -- but that screenshot is sort of weak, man. I hope you work out the graphics, because the game sounds like it could be solid.

Keep going.

[RockJohnAxe]

THe system and System2 are temporary. im making some manual adjustments to suit it to my liking. As usual i am hammering out content before i fancy it all up. Plus alot of my custom stuff, is still in the early stages (Pre-polish)

[coreystranick]

let me know if you are going to need any chipsets to match the one i gave you already( if it is in use on this game too)

[RockJohnAxe]

it is corey you will love it

also corey, if i give you a picture i made, are you able to break it up into the small squares so i can use it as a charset? (Similar to the houses you made.)

[RockJohnAxe]

Good Flying Stupid.

Town Attacks!
Every so often enemies attack your town when you are away.  If an enemy Attack on your town is successful you will have Gold Stolen from you, and Possibly have some Villagers Slain (really sux).  Buildings cannot be destroyed from attacks. Once a building is constructed it cannot be destroyed. Defenders, Warriors and Guard Dogs can stop attackers from affecting your city, but they arent always 100% effective and sometimes are slain while defending your town.
