Which steps are being taken? What is this?


Now that about a week has passed and the project began to develop its own identity, it's the time to start talking more about Fists of Astryx...

First of all, there will be two versions, "Fists of Astryx: Seraphic version" and "Fists of Astryx: Chaotic Version". The Seraphic will be the mobile one and the Chaotic will be the desktop one. The version that we'll be releasing is the Seraphic, just as a demo, to receive your feedback and general thoughts about and what should we consider change or improve.

Okay, now we can talk more about the Game Design... So, have you ever wondered "How do combat RPG's are made?" ? I'm not any specialist on the topic but I can say my experience and share with you our process... First I had the idea of the gameplay... something like "I want to make a 3v3 turn based RPG!!" then I realized that first I needed to think if the idea is actually good and THEN, start to polish the idea to make it more suitable with what I can make and what the game itself will be, making a game isn't about you or your ideas, but about the creation itself, the game has its own identity and your job is to polish and adapt it to be the best possible. 

After testing the prototype and seeing it had potential if made right, I started the technical part, like, "How will damage be calculated?" "What formulas can I use?" "Does this kind of math and thinking suits the idea?". Then I came up with a formula, so all i needed to do was test it, I realized that it needed more improvements.

After all of the combat ideas were tested and modified, I started to think about the rest of the game (Combat or Action aren't the main thing you must give attention to, all parts are essential)

Summarizing all things, after all parts of the game were fully developed in my mind, I organized it in a GDD (Game Designer Document) and pitched it to friends, they liked it and we organized ourselves in teams to make it viable. 4 teams were created (we were 8), we were given 3 weeks to make it (demo only but still a short period). We are currently on the beginning of the second week and now it's starting to take shape and all of us are proud and confident about what we are creating together.

Oh, and if you are curious about the formulas, I can spoil the main one for you. The damage calculation formula is BD + (((PD -10 )/20) x GC). "What does this letters mean?" You'll know soon 👀. Hahahaha thank you all for reading this, hope all of you have a wonderful day and WELCOME TO THE FIELDS OF STARLIA!
