I'm making a rpg (with help from PDF_Darkblade) based on exploration and treasure hunting. Descriptions are below:

Basically you play as 3 bandits that discover a great treasure in a myserious city named Zaiita! But as soon as you land in the city, you quickly relize that what seemed as a harmless treasure hunt turns into a race for survival.

Features:

-Day/Night System
During the day you can see clearly but at night, the city gets so dark you need lighting to see. Certain stores close at night or open at night, etc

-Cave/Treasure System
Since they're bandits, they'll be looking for treasure. When you enter caves, you'll need to light them up. You'll also need to find the many treasures in the caves with the "Pikmin 2" like treasure system

-Sidequests Galore
Since the game has one main huge city, many people have problems and if you solve them they might even join you. Some can provide BIG help in you adventures.

-Spell System
Once you rescue the necromancer, he'll teach each of you a spell. Each character learns up to 2 spells each

The city takes up a half of the map so theres a lot to be explored! The person who is helping me make the map is going to post some more info and screen shots below!

Gameplay

Ok, after the full introduction which also allows u to roam the city a tad, the game takes off in it's night and day forms. On the Basic strait forward side, some buildings are open at night, some are not. after ur first night in zaitta u realize u are in over your heads, etc. Something very strange happens in the city at night(can't tell i'd be spoiling)
Zaitta is so rich in Ore, u can find it lying oiutside on the streets. you use that to start off your money grabbing trip.
over the course of gameplay u find many different things to do, including blowing things up, joining the local Authority,(or even the theives) exploring caverns, lakes, and a vast city.

Similar, though I do read a little of the description, to find out what genre of map, timeframe, and a little more.

Ok Looks like no one wants to reply angry.gif
So I'm curious, is sc Looking for a map with a huge broadcity to explore, i mean ive never seen a cool map with an entire censored.gif ing City to explore and different huge events going on at the same time(except racoon city). I think our idea here is great but i'd still like feedback, if you need to know more just ask for what other information u want.

So it's one big city. Pretty cool. But you'll have to have tons of stuff to do. I mean tons of stuff. Why not have different "levels" of the city. Is this futurstic?

You don't have to swear, SEn seems to be going out and back randomly now, so I can't get on too often. It looks pretty neat, looks like a 256x256 map size, nice. What kind of terrain are you using, frontward SF, isom/SF hybrid, isom, or w/e. I liked your idea with the recall over the dented doodad thing. Can you post some screenshots of the cinematics soon?

Yea I will but I'm also working hard to finish this map. About the terrain details...I plan to have some type of square terrain for some part of the map.

Now I shall bring more of the story to light and you will relize it is much deeper than it appeared!

The Story of Zaiita

Many years ago, a city named Iiithus held a great treasure. A group of thieves caught wind of the treasure and raided the city. The thieves slaughtered all the people of the city and stole the treasure. A week after the raid, the thieves had spent all the gold and riches and were now richer than god himself but a terrible curse was placed on the thieves. They tried to return the treasure but the curse wasn't lifted and evenually, the darkness consumed them.

The protectors of the treasure figured more of these guys would come so they destroyed the city and covered it with layers and layers of rubble. A thousand years later, a city was built over the remains of Iiithus. This city was Zaiita! The ghosts who protected the treasure, wanted to scare away these people so the spirits attacked the people of Zaiita for years and years until...3 heros figured out a way to seal the spirits away and they claimed the treasure, but before they could escape the cave where the treasure was, the ghosts of the thieves of old appeared and killed the 3 heros and the treasure and the heros haven't been heard from since...until now.

Rumor of this city and it's treasure has spread and 3 of the most notorius bandits in the area have heard the rumor and decide to head to the city to claim it for themselves.

I'm sorry if theres any typos but im in school right now and i typed this fast. There's more to the story but to reveal anymore would ruin some important plot twists. Also Zaiita has reached the 50% complete mark. I expect the rpg to be released within a week...(yes im quick with triggers) and a demo many be ready today or tomorrow (or the next day....)
