Toot

So, I'm making a game!

The broad idea is a low fantasy RPG with an Atelier/Final Fantasy 8 approach to crafting and combat, with trading/barter/socials a central mechanic.

I'm very fond of the modded Skyrim/FF8 experience of fooling around and slowly gearing up, making friends and taking the game at my pace. Being able to play it on a phone or the Tooter would be a nice plus.

One of the driving principles behind making this game is the same that the developer Jeff Lait had when developing Powder: I want to play this kind of game. I exactly know what I want, but nobody wants to make it.

The engine will be Rpg Maker 2003 because I wanna see how much I can get of it, and also because I don't have to deal with the usual programming. My burnt out ape brain wants to only use the atrocious RM2k3 language with mouse an occasional keyboard input. I'm fond of closed, simple engines that can be played in any platform. The lack of freedom is a plus in this case even. I don't want a million possibilities. I wanna add shit to the doll house.

Already tested a basic mockup of all the mechanics, so now it's the part where I put a brick over the other until I get a working prototype.
