Project overview
This is an Independent project where the requirements is to create a single player RPG game. In this game players will play as a person who is getting a second chance to re-birth, and to be born as who is depend on players choices.
In this project I decided to make player input their own text beacuse this will make player think that they have more choices and this create more immersion. While player is guiding by the game this way of input make player remain immersed. For the design of the story, with the situation of character creation before getting re-birth served the fantsy of being the one that you choose in real world references.
Challenges
The huge challenge of this project is that the requirement of it is an RPG, which the words RPG can be defined in many ways. So before getting into design part, I have to define what is my take on the RPG part of the game.
My solution
After doing some research and experiment, I came up with defination of RPG that it must be a game that serve player's fantasy with least limitations. So my design here is to provide player ability to type whatever they want and try to serve the fantasy of being rebirth as a person that they want. With all of the design combined, I came up with some story and others mechanics.
What have I learned?
- Genre differentiation
RPG elements are hidden in almost every game, but to differntiate it and define it is another part to learn.
- Predict player behavior & Control them without breaking too much immersion
As my game let players have their own unique choices, to make them go in the right path is necessary. So within this project, I've been testing a lot on this. Still there's a lot more to learn.
