I am making an RPG, first in 2D with Game Maker, then later 3D with Unity! I want you to be able to have Magic or Spells or Will... something, but I need it to go with the flow of the game! I also need help deciding what to do later on in the game... These are the notes I have written for a basic beginning, I will change it!
Spoiler
Your character's City was seiged 8 months ago, and he was taken as a slave to work in mines. A carriage comes to the mines, and the overseer told the slaves to line up! A seeress steps off of the carriage, and walks up to the first guy, he stares at her and she holds out her hand a few inches from his face... She continues this as she walks down the line, sometimes she says "Him!" and then the slave is escorted to the carriage! When she got in front of you though, her face twitched and she leaned in to whisper in your ear "You... you are destined for great things" and she waves you by! You get on the carriage, and are taken to the City. You go to a training hall, not sure why though... A man there explains that you and the rest have been chosen to participate in a tournament. The winner earns his freedom and the loser, if he lives, gets sent back to the mines!
Ok, so you when the tournament and you go back through the waiting area, and you meet the enraged prince. He lost a bet, you won and he lost 500 shilings (currency). So he attacks you and you, with your sword, defend yourself... You take 3/4 of his health before he falls his knee and calls for the guards... you are in the dungeon 3 months before the seeress comes to the cell. She lets you out and says you must hurry and leads you to like a sewer vent thing (I don't know what they are called) and you jump down. She says to go to a nearby Inn and wait for her there.
You get there and the Inn keeper recognizes you and lets you rest, free of charge. You awake with the seeress sitting on a chair in the corner... She vaguely talks to you before grabbing your hand and teleporting to some underground ancient ruins as though they appear. You question what happens and she tries to explain... she tells you that there is something special about you, a huge dormant power, you could possibly learn from her teachings... thus learning magic! She gives you 500 shilings (from the prince's failed attempt of a bet) and instructs you to get some supplys from the market, and teleports you, alone, back to the second town, not the City!
I assume it's bad becuase I'm not a story writer, but you see what mechanics I am trying to put off! I want magic, bows, and melee weapons! There has to be magic because I want there to be a wider way to attack enemies. I need it to be made where anyone can learn magic powers, maybe start training as a young kid, but how does he get to train? I want to have an online Crucible, where people fight PvP (Player vs Player) and get points that go towards the leading champion. Award the first one to reach a certain mark with a legendary weapon or something that he can use offline in the Story Mode or sell to another player online! I also want the enemies to be fanacy creatures (trolls, orcs, elves, ect.). It all needs to tie together somehow, and I'm not a creative person!
I would like a story writer but I am ok with just bouncing ideas off of someone and help me think of the basics (Plot[bosses, final boss, common goals], Enemies, Weapons, Magic, Ect.). PM if you are interested, and we will talk about further communications, whether it be IM on facebook or Windows Messenger, or just emailing, or even skyping!
