World
Full globe eventually just small at first
MCoG theme based in 1534?
You can get the golden condor/ship by doing same stuff as in the show.
Very difficult to get the condor/Solaris though have to beat a huge boss
etc.
Boats to cross-oceans pay for the trip on drone boats or go with someone
who has a boat.
Towns
Have towns where no fighting except for certain areas, drones can fight
though.
Have shops people to talk to etc.
People are drones tell you info and signs with info as well.
Shops sell health weapons and other items
Mini games in town e.g. timing and speed games. Races to bet
on and stuff.
Big royal rumble rings where its everyone for themselves and the winner
wins a lot of money. Entrants can run away from the fight at any
time but all the money is given to the winner. A special screen would
be needed due to the large number of fighters.
Towns would have hotels where players can sleep for a fee and fully
recover MP and HP.
Sign in the town that important info is written as well as signs with
the ranking of players.
Characters
Players can select from # different characters Spaniard, Knight, Native
warrior, Martial arts expert, Kid and Magician/Inventor
Girl or Guy
Create your player once selected style mainly just changing clothes
colour and giving them a name.
Player saves their character unto there hard drive and unto network?????
Each character has slightly different abilities but not much different
e.g. Knight has strong attacks but turn meter a little slow.
Certain types of characters can only use some weapons/armor and all
weapons/armor will be suited to a character where their power will be increased
a little.
Characters will gain extra levels of power after reaching a certain
a certain amount of experience points. Where your attributes will
increase e.g. health offense defense and the speed of your turn meter.
Characters can carry 20 different goods and multiple amount of the
same item will only count as one.
Fighting
Fights are turn based RPG style
A fight will begin as soon as a player comes in contact with a drone.
Or if two players are fighting when they talk to each other they choose
to fight. For an automatic fight player holds down a key and walks
into the other player.
When fight is started a colored circle will expand out and any player
who can get inside the circle in a few seconds will be included in the
fight. Same as in earthbound players can run faster to enter the
circle.
When fighting players take their position automatically and a new screen
comes up.
Depending on how many players in the fight the screen will hopefully
be like Chrono if heaps of people then like Earthbound.
The same system as in Chrono trigger where your turn meter increases
and then when full you can select your attack. Therefore players
can attack without waiting for the other player.
Once meter is full players can select their option, which are
Attack- uses equipped weapon
Special move- performs a special attack that uses up MP e.g. spin cut,
power punch
Magic- uses MP to perform magic, which could be attacks, recover MP,
and increase offense…
Item- select and use an item e.g. food to recover HP or stuff for MP
or other items e.g. cannon.
Run away- players can try to retreat from fight if player does not
let them they can demand money and items. Players can offer everything
they own and the opposition must accept them. Not sure about this
idea.
Once selected player selects who attack will be on.
When a player is killed the winner gets all the money the player had
as well as any possessions he wants.
When in multiple player fight the same system applies when your turn
meter is full you can select your option and attacks will go in the order
of who locked in their option first.
Gameplay
Players walk around on the screen moving throughout the world in a
normal view all the time no overworld screen.
Keys
Normal movement keys
Players have a key to run faster, talk or pick up things this is the
all purpose key, auto fight, cancel and the menu key which brings up the
menu controls from here there is
Status- shows players their level MP HP and all attributes
Goods- list all goods player has, can use them
Options- has options eg save game, log off, sound, auto fight.
Magic- lists the magic players can currently use, If possible can use
some eg restore HP
Equip- Shows player what their current weapons and armor is and this
is where new weapons are equipped.
Missions
There are missions to complete as in normal RPG’s.
Missions are different depending on what country your in.
Game can not actually be finished so the main purpose is two travel
around and collect items that will give you super abilities e.g. awesome
sword, condor, drone friends
There will be a special medal to collect in each world and if you get
them all you become big huge and all-powerful ready to conquer the whole
game. Take like forever to do it.
Missions are
City of gold mission in South America same as in the anime travel the
same path finding the Solaris condor and Olmecs. Get the jar the
maps etc. Get a piece of medal if you find the city and of course heaps
of money.
Other missions could involve finding the other cities of gold?
Or finding the Excalibur in Europe.
All mighty magic power in Africa etc etc.
Talking
When player is talking to a drone they say the same stuff all the time
may ask them questions.
When talking to other players a small menu comes up and a text screen
where you type in the text you want to say. No swearing
The menu gives you the options to fight go to your goods to give
other player stuff (maybe a special trade menu) and the team up button.
Players can trade things as well as sell them. If a player
rips someone off then ultimate fighter comes
Teams
Or players can add people to their team and the players in the team
will have their name written above their head and their team name.
Team members can be seen on the map
Maybe have a maximum team amount 5?
If players want more in their gang you can still walk around together.
Then when a fight starts everyone jumps into the circle and fight the
opposition. Players can then recover health for other players but
they still have the option to attack team mates.
One big advantage of a team is that players can revive other players.
Teams are very important when trying to complete missions, as a lot
of firepower is needed.
