This is my 4th update for the Udyan RPG game. I have made this game around the garden as a theme. And in Sanskrit garden is named as "Udyan". So I thought I should have it as a game name. I have yet to add the character name. It'd be fun to see how that would go.
Today I made an interesting update which is basically a battle system. Something the RPG Maker MZ is known for. I also hope to add some more values in the game like the type of items that you earn and also how you can deal with XP and the health of the character and enemies.
I have made this second map where basically a garden exists. You have some of the garden items which are going to be there and will be treated as static. While some of the items would be obstacle. So basically some items through which you can't move and some of the items that are going to be easy to pass through.
In this particular map, I am adding the battle system at the top. Some of the time that addition would be taken a bit differently. So I need to make sure to check on not able to repeat the same battle over and over if it is already fought.
There a crow which is going to have specific HP and XP. Along with the items that would be dropped at the end of the round. So you defeat the crow and then that would earn you some sort of the item. Something you have to think of when it comes to the RPG Game development.
As you can see there are two options that RPG Maker MZ gives you. Like Fight and Escape. I have found out that there does not seem to be an option for the escape. Like what would happen if the character chooses the escape option.
When you win the fight you get the option of how much XP is achieved and also the item would be notified by the bottom bar. You would get the idea on how the battle went. I think this is a good options that have embedded into the gaming system.
As you can see the game seems like progressing slow and steady. Lot of levels to add and also battles to fight inside. I have to pick on the enemies which are specific to the forest. The reason being the game is around garden. So using non forest like enemies would be bad for the game.
I also have to think of renaming the main character. Default says his name is Reid. I have to think of the Sanskrit name. I have to make sure to think of name which is kind of going along with proper Sanskrit ecosystem.
I hope if you are keeping tab on some of my these posts and finding it good to read. I'd appreciate the feedback and if you know any RPG Maker MZ specific content and the tutorial to try out for some of the features that would be super good.
