Demo V.2021

Although I'm extremely proud of my old demo and everything I accomplished, and I do intend to keep a lot of it, I always wanted to make this game an ABS (action battle system). I lost my editable demo, however I do have all of my assets except the maps.

I am rebuilding this game and planning to complete it. There are 8 chapters and 4 endings currently, although I have more locations than my plot requires (which is completely summarized). 

Going forward with this game I will keep the new demo and the old demo free, but the final game will be commercial. 

Right now I have a LONG to-do list including inputting items, weapons, armor, crafting, a fishing system, a camping system (like an inn and the option of raising points with party members through dialogue). The enemy sprites need to be made. Spells, attacks, and more need to be done. I will be tweaking the in-editor animations to make them unique but outside the summons I won't be doing new animations. 

The tilesets are still all custom. I have faceplates, although I want to expand them at the end for different expressions. 

Progression is something I'm still working on, but currently I want to keep my BITSystem, where enemies drop stat items. Weapons, armor, and accessories will add special effects moreso than stats (ie: immune to water or something like that, or status immunity). Spells and attacks are gained via the story (summons) and I'm toying with the idea of finding ancient Incan tablets that also teach these to the player. One thing I really wanna emphasize is exploration. Foraging is a good way to not only find supplies (and a necessity) but also gain more stat increases. 

The Inca had no money system, so when you do come across a shop, items must be traded. Not only does this make exploration and battles important, but you also have the option to dismantle old weapons and armor, too.

Fishing is going to be a relaxing mini-game (and a side collectible) as well as a good source of food, which I'm planning to be used at camps to restore the player's health, since "inns" are only in towns.

Lastly, regarding the ABS, each of the three characters will have special abilities only they can use, like an all-heal or a teleport. I hope this makes using all three not a necessity but something fun.

I hope everyone is excited for these ideas :)
