I've spent 2 years developing an open world RPG game. What kind of progress have I made, what challenges have I had, and how much more is left in development?

Even tho rescuing items after death is annoying, you have to do something that will punish players for dying, because ppl will quickly learn that death is meaningless and only speeds up their travel time

I don't think total item lose is necessary, but I agree that there has to be a lose of some kind, or it just becomes a fast travel option.

i mean death is meaningless and only adds to your travel time in minecraft, too. you just go back and pick them up again. obviously there should be a consequence for death, but it ought to be something more engaging and with more depth than "go back to where you died real quick." it also shouldn't just be "L all your shit's gone" either since that just makes death frustrating and unfun the value of these things also factors in how fun and rewarding the combat is more than anything i think it's less about the consequences of death and more about whether or not you gain something from combat my preferred system for handling death is if the reason you are in a do-or-die situation is to attain something and the consequence for death is simply not attaining that thing like in monster hunter, or any fromsoft game, or like deep rock galactic yknow sure you lose currency or whatever but the real consequence for death is not something being TAKEN from you, but that you never GOT the thing you were trying to get

Terra tech made having a storage system an unlockable and it actively irritates me every time I play. I have to place down a block, wait for the black hole thing to power up, and then sit and watch everything go into my global inventory. Just... don't make two seperate layers of inventory I beg of you. Even in minecraft it is clunky and kinda aweful from a UX design perspective. A player shouldn't have to file away every item into individual shulker boxes then store those shulker boxes in an ender chest to carry large items for a build. Like, genuinely it's just annoying.

@supermysterious66 3 ай бұрын

As someone who has spent a lot of time on Minecraft and other Block based game clones, I have a few thought about death and inventory systems. Losing all items on death is very punishing, but makes death something players really seek to avoid. If you lose no items (or other things like exp or levels) on death, people will start dying as a method of fast travel... which feels lame. One particular Minecraft like game I used to play, called "Creativerse", found a nice balance between the 2 systems, with a lose all backpack items on death, but keep all items that are equipped and in the hotbar. Now for "Mana Valley", I don't think you have a hotbar, (maybe you do, and I just haven't paid attention), but what you could go for instead is to have "Protected" backpack slots, that stay with you, even on death, and the rest are unprotected. This way death has some sting, but isn't as rage-quit inducing. If you went this route, you could have different backpacks with differing amounts of protected and unprotected slots. You could also make it possible to "level up" you backpack, increasing either the number of total slots, or turning a unprotected slot into a protected one. Side note: If you do have items drop on death, have them all drop in a "backpack" or "sack" that can be opened like a chest, but you can only take items out of it. (One all items are removed, the "backpack" or "sack" will disappear) This will reduce lag in the game, and it also is more convent to your players.

@rawallon 3 ай бұрын

This. Losing inventory , to me, increses value to exploration. If I found a super rare item and can just die to respawn at home/base it would remove all the weight on actually remembering the map and taking note on landmarks.

@AaelmfaoBDplays 3 ай бұрын

Moonlighter, while not an open world game, had a similar system. You had protected slots and a limited inventory space, so dying meant only keeping a handful of things. I kind of like Stardew Valley's approach of you losing things, but you can hire a service to bring back some of your items

@scotttimbrell8632 2 ай бұрын

I actually find it to do the opposite effect. Why would I adventure out when I have good gear already? What am I doing other than risking great gear, time and effort, for potentially nothing? I would just rather sit in the comfort of my base and build. It limits mostly all the systems that make Minecraft fun and if I wanted to build I would adventure out naked just in case. Death is always something people avoid, but that doesnt mean if it happens, say by falling, or making any sort of mistake, shouldnt then waste your time retrieving those items, potentially losing them if you die again, or dont make it back in time. I would argue that using death as a means of fast travel is less intrusive as an unintended game feature, and does nothing but save the player time, whilst losing all items reduces fun, engagement and wastes a players time. Some players have to realise that although a mechanic might be fine for them, it doesnt necessarily make it a good one generally for most players. This adds nothing to people who dont already care, it limits all types of engaging gameplay, heavily punishes progression/exploring, reduces engagement with systems or experimentation all whilst in a calm, relaxing sandbox world. Dying will happen if you avoid it all not, its best not to punish the player for every instance of that, especially when resources or grinding is required for that good gear. Falling to your death a hundred miles away/or after you just found a good/rare item is the most dishearting thing ever and makes the next 20 minutes in this calm and relaxing sandbox world a mad dash to your items.

@scotttimbrell8632 2 ай бұрын

@@rawallon I am the opposite and I see no correlation between your remembering of landmarks, and instantly losing all your items after death. Exploration is, more or less, a 1 time thing, once youve seen it, youve seen it. Most games have maps for you to follow either way. Unless you mean that you like the idea that when you die with good gear, youre enjoying the fact that you are re-doing exactly what you just did, for the same rewards, which begs the question to why that couldnt just be done without the need of recovering items?

Hands down, this devlog series is one of the biggest inspiration for solo game devs like me. I started my own passion project, an open world farming game a year ago and started posting about it after watching your Mana Valley devlogs. Very excited for the release and I can't wait to play it. All the best friend! 💪

@jeanlouis5619 3 ай бұрын

In tackling the issue of inventory loss upon player death, I propose a practical solution: a tomb system. When players perish, all their belongings would be securely stored at the location of their demise, ensuring they can easily retrieve their items. This not only encourages players to explore the game world and remember key landmarks but also adds a strategic layer to each death, prompting players to approach gameplay more thoughtfully. Compared to other options like losing everything or retaining all items upon death, this approach strikes a balance between challenge and player satisfaction. It maintains a fair gameplay experience while still providing a meaningful consequence for death. To enhance this system further, you could introduce enemy spawns near the tomb or choose to retain certain tools or items, adding an extra layer of excitement and challenge to the retrieval process.

Regarding the issue of items falling after the player’s death, I suggest that items fall after death, in addition to making a character specialized in returning items using a spell that the player cannot learn in exchange for paying a certain number of coins or something of value, but the value of the return varies depending on the value of the items that fell. And how far are they from the person who returns them, and if you do not want to pay, you go to return them yourself

I think a cool way to have the player respawn with their items would be to have the items fly over to you from the direction you died in when you respawn. This would achieve respawning with items, informing you of where you died, and it makes sense somewhat lore-wise, as it could be explained as a mechanic of the reclaim spell.

Use a ViewStack. You Push views to the stack when they're active, pop them off when they're done. When it's empty there's no UI being displayed. Similar to counting but better because you can peek and search through the stack to jump back to particular points. It makes programming view navigation a breeze as you can emit transition in/out events from the stack for all your transition animations, and also just have some events when when the stack is empty or not so your input controller can disable itself when a particular stack is in use (I tend to use different view stacks for various parts of game - HUDs and in-world canvases are typically on their own stacks - for card games each card is typically it's own view stack.

There are plenty of RPGs that are open world, linear, and a mix of the two. Just because the game gives you the illusion of being able to go anywhere, doesn't mean it's open world. Just because there's a plotline that progresses doesn't mean it's linear. By technicality, RPG stands for "role-playing game, ,so by definition you are taking on the role of your player character. RPGs don't have to be open world or linear by definition since, if you really think about it, most every game IS an RPG by definition of the term. If by RPG we mean "leveling up a character with stats and equipment as you explore a vast world of locales and characters" the same still applies. You can be given the role of a character with set lore or personality (such as in Final Fantasy, Paper Mario, and Yakuza, Castlevania) or you can create a role for yourself as you play (Skyrim, Fallout, basically any MMO) Bit of a long comment, but that was all to say: an RPG can be anything, really. As long as you're playing a game in a set role instead of being some large overseer that can control everything in the game, it's an RPG as far as I'm concerned.

3:17 There are three ways to make projectiles: 1. Shooting it from the camera. Objectively good for simple games and beginner programmers. 2. Shooting it from the weapon, aiming at what the camera is aimed at. Objectively good for realism. And what you did in your video. 3. Shooting the hitbox from the camera, but offsetting the graphic to appear from the weapon, over time moving the graphic to the hitbox's position while it's in travel. Objectively, the best way to do it. This is how games like Overwatch do it and Fortnite too, I'm p sure. This also prevents the "shooting objects closer to you" issue like in example 2 while avoiding odd projectile spawn position issues like in example 1.

@youdyed 2 ай бұрын

Overwatch actually does different techniques for different weapons. Some are moving projectiles, others are hitscan which literally scans what you aimed at in the moment when you pressed the button to shoot and confirms that as a target. There is a visual projectile to indicate that you are shooting but the actual shot happens instantly.

I encountered similar issues with menus and I decided to go with a Peer system, where each main UI is a peer, and there is a placeholder GameObject that if it is the last child, we can allow player movement.

Idk what is all in the game but you could add a scavenger that will collect your loot when you die and you can buy it back from them to get your previous items back.
