TL;DR: I'm working on a low-rez rpg and I need some help with 4-letter (or less) RPG class names, enemy ideas and the storyline. In the notes are some stuff I've came up with. Basically, I've been working on an rpg that will feature optional quests, turn-based combat, buildings you can enter, at least 4 classes that have different stats and special abilities, and a large open world. Included to the left are some screenshots of my yet-to be named game that is in an extremely low resolution, 32x32 pixels. I was inspired by LowRezJam, a competition in which game developers make games that are restricted to a very low resolution. While such constraints can be frustrating, they force me to think outside the box and working on this project has, and hopefully will be, a very fun experience. Some things I need help with are 4-letter RPG class names, enemy ideas and the storyline, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(NOTE: anything listed here is just an idea and may not be in the final game). CLASSES: -Hero: all-around decent class, easy to learn. Special Move: SLASH- Deal 200% damage. -Mage: has low health and damage, but very high mana. Special Move: HEAL- regenerate 50% health. -Bard: has very low health, but pretty high mana and damage. Special Move: LYRE- deal 50% damage and skip the enemy's turn. -Thug: has pretty high health and decent damage but very low mana. Special Move: SMASH- deal 150% damage and 50% chance to skip the enemy's turn. -Ogre: has very high health but low damage and mana. Special Move: REND- deal 150% damage and if the enemy has less than 50% health, instantly defeat them. -Monk: has decent health, pretty high mana, and low damage. Special Move: PRAY- If monk has more than 50% health, skip the enemy's turn. Then regenerate 25% health. -Chef: has decent stats all around. Special Move: EAT- eats a turkey leg/apple/burger, then deals massive damage that 1-hit-ko's most enimies. However, this ability has a very high mp cost. -Lich/Vamp (idea by @Jarraboo) - decent health, high damage, and low mana. Special move: BITE- decreases 50% of opponents health and regenerates 50% of own health. ENEMIES: All enemies will be in a monster encyclopedia that is accessible at all times and shows a larger portrait of them along with their stats. Enemies are added in when you first encounter them. -Red Slime -Skeleton -Orc -Phantom STORYLINE: (Please keep in mind that with such a low resolution, very complicated ideas can be hard to communicate to players) -Super simple generic one: You are an adventure-seeking person who has heard that the princess has been taken by The Dark Lord and you decide to go rescue her. Music: No Promises
