Ever since I played Final Fantasy Tactics a few years ago for PS I always thought how great it would be if it were a multiplayer game. I believe the WE now allows us to complete this idea of mine with use of many triggers which I can probably handle but I could use another to help me if the load becomes more than bearable. The main person I need is a terrainer that has alot of experience with the WE and can do the terrain almost blockish (not really but if you've played FFT then you know of what I speak) so that height levels and things can be distinguished easily by the players. I'll also need someone who may want to do skins/models but of course this is something optional and won't be the strength of our map - hopefully the gameplay will. I know something like this was attempted before (Warcraft Tactics maybe) but I think the project was cancelled. On to the map and gameplay. This is what I have down thus far pertaining to the map - all of which is subject to change if we feel differently about something: 5v5. Each player has a unit and a certain amount of levels that they get to put into a job of which each will have a certain maximum level. They will get to do this at the beginning of the map before battle commences. With each level that the player adds to a specific job, a certain amount of Job Points (JB) will be added like in FFT in which the player may use to learn new skills in that job. Certain levels of a job will result in unlocking of newer jobs like in FFT as well (Level 2 Squire req for Knight). This allows players to customize their skills and so forth quite a bit. Then the next thing players can do in pre-battle is buy their gear and items from shops with the initial gold amount that will be given to each at map initialization. There will be cheaper/more expensive kinds of items - some of which will be class specific as well providing bonuses to stats and so on. Players may want to share the gold with one another during this time to say beef up a melee character with a strong armor and getting cheaper armor for someone like a summoner who would stay back in the battle as much as possible. This of course is up to the players and their ability to work together to achieve victory. After players have purchased gear and set their abilities up battle will begin. Much of it will be like FFT with one move and one act per player. It will be much more difficult than FFT however because players will have to communicate well to set up attack strategies and such because it isn't just one player controlling all the units and knowing what exactly he/she is doing. Play ends when all of the units from one team are defeated. So if anyone is interested that is either a great terrainer or triggerer, or you just have some icons or skins to contribute, you can contact me by many means. Of course you can just post on this forum but also my AIM is Make7UpYoursDood and my hotmail is [email protected]. I hope someone shares the same passion I so about FFT and wants to create a similar battle-type game with fun gameplay and a hell of a lot of customization. |
