Mythale RPG Design Doc (Preliminary)

by Steven Fletcher · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 10/10/2004 (5:00 pm) · 3 replies

A while back I tried to program a 2d RPG. Actually, I've tried to program 2d RPGs more than once with varying degrees of success, but I'm talking specifically about Mythale RPG.

I've created a design doc for this "ultimate" RPG that I hope to create some day if I ever have the resources to do so. At present, I'm working on much less ambitious projects. But I've decided to have a design doc that will slowly evolve so that I can keep in mind what I'm working towards. I have a "storyline" in a seperate file, but it's so disorganized that I'm not bothering to post it.

At any rate, what I would like is for people to comment upon my design doc. Don't bother commenting upon how easy/hard it will be to program because I'm not going to be working on this game at any point in the near future.

The design doc is at www.cowgodgames.com/games/elathymdesigndoc.php.

Very nice concept doc. It's rare to find something so well done, but I don't think that most people would read through it like me. I'd suggest taking some things out like the summoned creatures, weather, etc. and make a forum. Put them all there once you have a team.

@George

Your forum idea is a good one. I'll keep it in mind.

I could have one thread for each section of the design doc.

@Thomas

I hope so too, but it will probably be quite a while before I even get started.
