Why is the game Anime based?

*Random thinking*
My game is currently an Anime game. But I was laying down last night and thought "...Why is it an anime game? What does it gain, or add, by being one?"

Well, abilities, power boosts in the form of transformations...and that's about it.

So why not make it more of something of my own instead? Still have classes(Ninja, Samurai, Mage, etc)...but make the races be, say, Human(Can 'use their full strength' for a limited time), Lupine(Which have the ability to turn to a giant wolf), and...sumfin else?

Do I lose anything? I guess Naruto based abilities, maybe Shinigami and their abilities... but I think I gain a lot more creative freedom...

Plus Byond already has a billion Anime games. Why not do something to try and stand out a bit?

Have any suggestions?

Still really early on in making things, so would be wonderful to hear of any suggestions!

Just go over to the forums I set up! They're not pretty, but it's everything needed I think c:

A change in plans...

So, after some thinking I decided to stop with the turn based idea, for a few reasons. I wanted the game to be more of a mix of skill and timing, instead of just strategy. So, it's more real time instead of turn based.

What does this mean? Well aside from playing different, not a whole lot.

Other than that, no real news to post...but should be in a somewhat testable state soon!

Welp, back to it!

Took a few days off, due to being frustrated, but back to work!

So far...no progress ;-; Keep getting errors that don't make sense to me, blah. So instead I think I'm going to work more on stats and adding placeholder icons. Maybe work on the talent system...

I'll update this as I add more, even gonna add some pictures :D

Edit: 1:40am



Done for the night, added some more to character selection and did some game thinkingness. Combat still not done. Grrr.

TURN BASED BATTLE SYSTEMS

WHY ARE YOU ANNOYING TO MAKE?! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR

So this Byond thingy

Returning to Byond after like 8 years is weird. A lot has changed...and all my friends are gone :(


But working on a new project! It's planned to be a turn based fighting game, which will be mostly pve...though will have a lot of pvp at the level cap.

Yes, level cap. For an anime game. Weeeird for byond, or at least from what I've seen(Was super weird back in the day, at least.)

But yeah. Anime based(General anime, that is), and will let you pick from, say, Saiyan, Human, and Android. Each has their benefits, Saiyan get bonus EXP, and are pretty good fighters without needing weapons. Humans will have multiple classes(Such as Ninja, Shinigami, Samurai, ect), and iunno about Androids yet.

It's coming along! So far have character creation done(Well. Have the foundation done), and am working on the combat...
