Pitch You Character For A Heavily Magic Based Open world Fantasy RPG Video Game

The goal of the project is to create an open world fantasy game in portions at a time that is heavily magic based. I believe magic should be something more than just throwing fireballs and should not be equal to damage done by a normal sword slash. It should also not be used only for combat as well, since it is so versatile, and the environment should also have some impact on your spells. An example would be lower mana cost during a thunderstorm when casting a lightning spell.

As one of the pledge rewards you will be able to pitch a character idea to me to add into the game.

Races
Fairy
Dragon humanoid
Nymph
Cyclops humanoid
Genie
Artificial Being

One person has already pitched an idea for a Clairvoyant who is trapped in the form of a werewolf. They will be added into the first level.

Below is are some images from the demo to show the little bit of progress the programmer and I've been able to do on our own.

Please support the project

My story Psychoborg would definitely make for a great open world RPG game because it has a magic AND technological/weapon system. Plus the two meet. There are the nine elements (wood, metal, blood, darkness, light, earth, wind, fire and water) and there are races that don't usually get used (beastfolk, cyborgs, drolls, wizards which are their own species, centaurs and more).

For the characters, Astra is more the magic side as she is a wizard and her weapon of choice is a scepter which she can use as both a mace and a gun. It can be imbued with elemental magic though her elemental range is light, wood, earth, wind, fire and water as she is the Champion of light. Her side quests would range from helping civilians in the Luminous Empire to random civilians in general depending on where you are at in the story. She can create barriers, do magical attacks and fighting moves. You upgrade her weapon and abilities with different magical crystals and runes.

Psychoborg is a cyborg and the Champion of the Darkness so his elemental range is darkness, metal, blood, fire, wind and earth. His weapon is his big arm that can be upgraded by tinkering it with different crystals and scrap. His arm is an arsenal for different guns, a shield, a blade and tools. Like Astra, his side quests involves doing his duties as a Champion for the Ominous Kingdom.

Playing as either one gives you a different perspective of the story and you need to play as both to get the full story though in the end, it all comes together.

I'm so sorry. I never got any notifications about your message. Regarding magic systems. the game already has one in place.

Wizards are ones who study magic and use the mana within their bodies.

Sorcerers use the mana around them and receive their abilities from patrons, items or inherit them.

Witch/warlocks manipulate mana from another dimension and get their power from these other realms.

Each one is capable of learning certain types of magic and could also be broken into a subclass. There aren't any guns or technology in the game, but a few things could be substituted for similar results.

Your character Astra can be half of an artificially made race. The restrictions for artificial races vary because their body composition can be made of many different things. She can be a high ranking member of the clerics (light magic sorcerers) and use special enchanted gems that can be placed inside the artificial part of her body for various effects.

This could range from druid sorcery being used to create a wooden sword, light barriers, fire blasts from finger tips like bullets from a gun, etc.

Psychoborg would be a warlock with a special gauntlet (I have gauntlets in the game as weapons). He can use the many different forms of warlock magic by switching out a jewel (shadow, blood, etc). The gauntlet could be the severed arm of a demon that can take on different forms like a shield or blade.

Thing is my game has the player as a blood parasite (red slime like creature) with the ability to possess different bodies and essentially collect power. Most missions are actually just tasks assigned to other characters that you complete while controlling that character. So your side quest story line is very possible.

Let me know your thoughts.
