Another idea I'd come up with recently, a short and simple rpg. I'll be perfectly honest: I liked the game Rudra no Hihou. I liked it so much that I played with the spell creation system for hours, and never actually played the game. This is the point at which I decided to rip the main idea, revamp it in my own fashion, and create something for people to play.
I'm very uncreative, so I simply decided this game would be called Mantra. For any information pertaining to what I have thought about for the game, see
this document. Please reply below if you have questions, comments, or improvements -- this is a very quick thought (and therefore "dirty") idea. I would very much like some more thoughts on developing things such as story.
I also intend on having the project be "open source" -- as such, I've started a Google Code Project
here. This was mostly for my own benefit, so I can synchronize my work across several computers, but it also opens up the potential to take in other people to help if they so desire. Please don't slam me for the horrible description, I haven't had the time to properly set up the page, and just set up some temporary things =P
At the time of speaking, I've thought of (with a bit of help) a relatively decent way to go about doing this "mantra" system (and, I've also programmed it). I've decided to completely eliminate the concept of "MP," though, so I hope it turns out for the best!
All that's really left at this point is a map, some icons, and a nice interface on top of this code :D
