Well.....if any of you have played Dragon Warrior Monsters for Gameboy you have an idea of what i am trying to do. For those of you who haven't...well your objective is to raise and breed monsters to create stronger ones, will searching for the demon threatening to destroy your hometown. It would feature a breeding system like Fusionniers RPG, and some spells for your monsters. Although this map seems daunting for a noob map maker like myself i am going to try my hardest to complete this. More about the map below.
Objective: Find and destroy the demon and the minions threatening your hometown(certainly not done...this is subject to change)
Players:3-4
Features:A breeding system like Fusionniers (yes i would give credit)
A "Monster Farm" which stores the monsters you capture for breeding
A spell system (not sure how this will work yet, perhaps buy items to cast)
An arena to fight other "Monster Masters" (you would have to pay but you would get to breed with a rare monster)
Well that's all i got so far so..umm...please tell me what you honestly think about the general idea of this map and any suggestions you make would be great. Thanks.
Well, it'll definately be new since most "capturing" is under Pokemon™ labels on Starcraft. One thing to mention though, don't copy the Pokemon Adventure games ok? If you need me too, I'll show you those games to make sure you won't be foolish enough to make one of them.
I have heard of Dragon Warriors from an old Nintendo Power magazine. It seemed to be quite large. Have you decided what your map size will be for your project? 128x128 would be the bare minimum for something like this. I think you should try either 192x192 or 192x256 where 256 is left-right and 192 is up-down.
Also, are you going to strictly follow the gameboy plot, loosely stick to the plot for leeway, or are you making a whole new plotline for the world of Dragon Warrior? Questions such as these can decide the future of the map.
If you have any inquiries or problems, just ask.
I was thinking of that same size, and i was probably make the story loosly based. Any other suggestions?
An Excellent Cage for creatures would be the dropship. Which could contain creatures of different sizes. On could only hold two monsters if they were say an ultra and an archon, but could hold many smaller monsters. This could create a balance between a few titans aand a venerable army of monsters.
That's a good idea and one of the problems i am having right now. You see, if i do that then i would have to make the larger monsters stronger seeing as you wouldn't be able to hold that many large monsters to breed with.

It should be the other way around, by the way.
This map sounds cool, I'm looking forward to its release.
