The Legend of the Tomato Quest Tutorial - Additions and Improvements

From SwinGame

This tutorial will just focus on what we could do to make the RPG Game better.

This page contains a Tutorial. Tutorials are designed to walk you through the development of a small game.

Contents

Skills and Spells

One thing that could be added, is skills and spells, using Mana to activate the attack, we could make a variety of spells and skills based off a single template, that allowed you to modify it's effect. Damage from the skill or spell could be based off the character's Magic Attack which would be based off the character's Intelligence.

Inventory

Another thing that our game is lacking, is an Inventory system. With this we could have more then 1 item per character. We could also introduce a system where the character could put equipment on, such as armor or weapons.

Items

So far, the implementation of items doesn't do much beyond, giving and taking from characters. We could introduce an effect item, that when collected or activated, provided an effect, such as the healing of health.

Multiple Levels

We could also introduce new levels to the game, and increase the difficulty as the game progresses. These new levels would require new enemies and bosses.
