Ok for an A-RPG.
I think we should make some mock up before coding. We could maybe use some of the sprites from this project, if the author is ok.
superfreaky wrote:So, no story writing yet, but the basic idea is that the game's world is under the control of a ruthless leader, who has gained and maintained authority through the power of his blade, which is made primarily of dark energy. His reign has lasted hundreds of years through the life-sustaining power of the energy in the blade. There was an old prophecy put forth by a dying wizard about the time of the throne ascension about another blade which was made of light energy, which would be the only weapon powerful enough to defeat the evil overlord. The light energy blade will only be wielded by the greatest of warriors. The prophecy is about to come true...
So, this is where the protagonist comes in (name not yet determined). He/she will need to complete lots of side quests to access the sword, ranging from "find my missing ring and I'll help you with your quest" to "defeat this MushrooMan (character created on the spot) and free the village." At the end of the game, you find the sword hidden in a random (generated each playthrough) place, paving the way for a sequel where you fulfill more quests to reach the overlord and defeat him.
How does it sound?

Sounds like a quite general RPG thingy, maybe add some weird twist somewhere? Also, parallel worlds allow for nice puzzles ^.^

When the protagonist finds the sword, the power corrupts him, and he attempts to take over the kingdom for himself. When he faces off against the overlord, he is defeated and warped to a parallel world as an exile, losing his sword in the process. He then then comes to his senses and must attempt to find a portal back to his own world. The game then takes on a much more puzzle based turn, where you need to cross-warp between worlds with the numerous portals you find after the first (similar to "lights out" but with more additional puzzle mechanics), eventually making it back home to desperately attempt to defeat the overlord with no powerful blade of his own. The goal is to use his own power against him.
[EDIT] He also encounters friends who can help him, during all the world-jumping.
PS: The parallel world could also simply be a "phase change" from black and white to white and black, making different areas accessible than before.

Also, added to the demo for tilemap loading now dynamic flashing of sound data off of the sd card (damn, that is so fast, it's done in the blink of the eye)
