Art Life Fantasia ( Tapastic game project)

[Nio_Kasgami]

Introduction
So Hi people I'm Nio Kasgami and proud to present you the Tapastic 3D game I work on Unity! So Why I do this game?
Well for the fun and experimentation. I pretty much code and 3D model this game as my main project for my 3D animations degree. What will be this game speak about? It's will be a rpg game who will have for characters the members of Tapastic community!
Why?....because I want it c:

The Story
The story is kinda simple you will play as a young architect who just graduate of the famous Tapas Royal School and get sent by the king with your Assistant Tapas for restore a village who seem to have some troubles. Surprise the king didn't told you the village was a total ruin and mess. So your goal is simple: Restore and help the village to get famous and on the rail!

Gameplay
On the current stage of devlopment the gameplay features are still to be decided.

• Rebuilt and improve the village for help the villager to have a better life and attract new peoples.
• For the sake of the village go fight powerful foe and bring fortune and fame to the village (because obviously you can't rebuilt a village without staining your hand a little!)
• have the possibility ot meet more than 32 "heroes" who will assist you in your journey.
• Have the possibility to have night and day system!
• Have some manly kao.
• Paper, rock, scissor like system!
• and Many other....I have to think about.

The game will be a lots oriented about art and should contain a LOTS of art references!

Battle system?
It's still in decision but maybe the game would get inspirate of Grandia or Arc rise fantasia!

Woaaa it's seem nice I want to help!
Sure well it's depends what you are able to do don't get offended if I refuse on some part. I work on Unity in C# language so this obviously kinda not the easiest software and I decided to do all the 3D by myself.

So I want to be a character!
Sure I will try to put many peoples as I can in it c:

Current Progression
Writing : 0%
Characters : 3%
Art : 0%
Programmation : 3%

Conclusion
SO on this note I hope you guys will enjoy the idea! I try to work fast as I can for provide some Preview of the game....but yeah I will work on it o3o

I will play the crap out of this! Is it going to be on steam or just on a file share website?

[J.Z.Castillo]

Yo! I have a guy who can control fire! If you need a fire mage, I got you! haha

My comic actually started as a game - I even have 3D models for one of my characters and her weapons. If your project progresses enough keep us updated.

i love RPGs <3 <3
and i'd be so grateful if my main character got picked and featured in this project :3

[Nio_Kasgami]

@ferb514 thanks c:!
@lazaar97 hahah dunno for the moment it's still on the dev part and getting on Steam is EXTREMMELLY hard haha. Maybe if the game is on a polish format I could publish for a Steam Greenlight. but I could always go on another publishing website such Desura (if still open?)

@mrjonzap way to many mages in the game TwT....Why everyones want to be archer or mages XD I will check that. I'm not yet on placing heroes in the game.

@El_Psy_Congroo hey thanks! it's nice I guess you used Unity as well?

@eslameldeeb sure if I suceed to find a role to the character haha.

Mind that the current dev state of the game is mostly on Utilties and structural part of the games. Once I get a a more stable platform in the game I will begin to make more features and finally begin to "recrut" for heroes xD.

Right now it's mostly loading database, Serialization and Core coding I work on >w>....

Yowza, good luck, that sounds like a huge multi-year game project. My buddy and I finished a mobile game... one that I thought should take 6 months (endless runner) working on it full time. It took 1 year and we are building on top of it now, so, in total we've been building this game/engine for 16 months. We worked on this full time. @_@

I can't even imagine doing an RPG yet. Unity will give you a leg up, but you'll still have to build all of that yourself (or cobble it together from various assets from the Asset Store). Context switching between coding and art is tough. My buddy did all of the art (UI design/art, 3D modeling, animation, iOS screenshots, etc). I worked every day on the code to support everything he wanted/needed.

How many people will work on this game with you?

If I were you, I would figure out the core thing you want the game to be, put all the other features you'd love the game to have into a backlog and focus on building one scoped and focused experience and then expand on it. Playtest and share your game with everyone, take feedback, and try not to spin your wheels (that's a harder than you think).

I don't want to dampen your spirits, but rather temper them. Gamedev is fun but it's hard mental work.

HAHAH XD no worry it's long years I do game dev! I know the jag
you know I used rpg maker for likes manies years and I know gosh how longs it's can take owo'
(EVEN if rpg maker come with a preset library it's take time to do it I have one in dev for the moment but I'm waiting for the funds for the pixel and tileset)
no worries I have a lots of experience in game dev ;D

I don't intend to go with full asset store I tend to avoid to use other peoples stuffs the only thingy I use is "Dialogue system for unity" who's do a wonderful jobs and remove me the part I have to make a dialogue system.

How many people will work on this game with you?

for the moment it's still early so only Dave Stankoven (creator of Rainy Rain) will help me on the grammar and spelling issue so mostly the writting.

and yes I will do a Backlog and features thread in the website I will do (maybe a wordPress) so this will help me to focus on what I want.

I know it's will be a multiYears projects like I said it's a major projects for my 3D animations degree who's 3 years aprox (or 2 years) sp I will work on it the best I can

On the other side right now I'm focussing on the Database and utilities such serialization and Native language support system (kinda easy to program haha)

[J.Z.Castillo]

haha I don't like mages really, I always choose the rouge or the archer, something fast and deadly, but my guy can shoot fire haha and that's only something a mage can do
