I spent 1 year developing an open world RPG game. What kind of progress did I make and how much more is left in development?

Just a wild idea that might have gone unnoticed: now that you have shortcuts using stuff in UI slots, you could manage that differently depending on "modes". The "new evasion tactic" it allows could actually be a preset move different from the normal flight feature, once player enter "battle mode". Different brooms could even have different moves, not only evading with a dash or a quick take off, but even stuff like a burst of air to push enemies. Making up for a new progress axis for the player, who then get to 'upgrade' their broom or simply manage their inventory to adapt according to situations they're facing. And the same thing could be introduced for different kind of items, like wands, wizard hats.. you name it. (Also, a water-y spell could be use as a watering can in one context, and as a rain of water bullets in another) Not allowing the player to simply run away from enemies that easily, by locking them into battle mode as long as there are enemies onto them, seems pretty fundamental to me.

I recommend that you only make the broom consume mana while in combat, which could be detected by checking if the player has dealt damage to something recently, or maybe if an enemy is alerted to the player's presence.

@qwart22 Жыл бұрын

I think it would be better if it was if an enemy had attempted an attack so if ur flying past them you don’t get screwed by mana randomly being used

Awesome recap! Enjoyed seeing the realization for the need for modularity in enemy features, since that's a big one every game dev eventually realizes. With your new modularity mindset, it makes it easier to break the barrier between pomplu and the player character, and create abilities that allow you to transform into pomplus etc. All new possibilities!

It's a good idea to have fresh eyes on the project after some development time has past but vertical slices aren't always the best route as long as you can look at your game and honestly think. "I would buy this game." Then you've got something if you wouldn't then just ask yourself what is missing what would make it better? If you can't pinpoint that then maybe a playtest will help get the creative juices flowing.
