Blink (Temporary) The RPG puzzle adventure game

My idea of my game. The idea of my game is an RPG advurture game based more about fantasy like magic, dragons and wizards. But with my game I aim to make it not like usual RPG games, I want to try to implement a different feel to the game. I want to try to make my game have a feel of a puzzle game but while also containing the bare bones of a RPG, like combat, trading and quest. Most general RPG games revolve around combat. Most RPG games with combat usually have a lot of content but they just get boring quickly due to them being so similar to each other. So I want to try to include a different aspect to RPGs.

Inspiration The inspiration of my game is different variations of RPGs but also I was inspired by some mystery games and puzzle games. The games I chose for inspiration have a lot of things in common but have several things different about them. The Games I chose for inspiration wasd games such as Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy Series, Fire Emblem Series and Kingdoms Of Amalur and Snake:Nimble Quest. Snake:Nimble Quest is a RPG puzzle game on the iOS and Android but however I don’t want my game to be like that, I want it to have like a minigame of puzzles for upgrading heroes and getting/unlocking skills. The other games gave me the idea that I wanted to have it an RPG, mostly the earlier versions of Fire Emblem with it being 2D and the game Kingdom Hearts gave me the idea that my main character could just be a normal person, not anyone special. The game series Final Fantasy gave me the idea that I wanted my game rich in story.

Background on the story From a young age Blink (the main character) was always a shy boy, who had a thing for magic. Blink was learning from an arcane master, after one of his lessons he came across a gem type substence, but the gem had dark secrets hidden inside of the stone which could let whoever the wielder is to reach unimaginable power. At the time Blink was young and he treated it like a good luck charm. Years went by and his magical skills flourished due to his gem. When he reached the age of 18, his magical skills had no bounds but with this power he now had he drawn attention to his small village which leaded to it being attacked and plundered, in search for the magical gem. Blink awakes and the town is in flames, too late to do anything about it.

Target Audience The target audience would be aimed for both genders from the ages of 15+. I feel like the game would be appropriate for the target audience because RPGs and Puzzle games generally appeal to around that age.

Whats in my demo currently. At the moment in my game I have: Partically working enemies Examine text for some areas Working movement Movement to different layouts Some working animations

What’s needed to be done. I need to work on: Sprits Shops and Shop system Puzzle Minigame for upgrading skills Bug fixes on enemies Music More stable combat system More party members (possibly)

Thank you for listening. Now time for the demo, then some questions if there is any.
