Summary


Combatics Evolution is a real-time tactical role-playing game, but what does that mean?

• Events and actions are real-time.
• Characters move and perform actions on a grid-based map.
• Characters have health, resources, and abilities.
• Characters can be assigned various jobs (roles) to determine their actions in combat.
• Characters can be equipped with various items to gain attributes to improve power.
• Characters can be equipped with various weapons required for certain jobs and abilities.
• Characters gain experience and ability points from combat to gain levels and learn new abilities.
• Characters can refine how their character scales as it levels to better suit its role.
• A player has a party which can consist of up to 7 characters.

The combat is viewed in an isometric fashion, but is rendered in full 3D. The game is built cross-platform from the ground up. Supporting all major desktop platforms as well as Android (potentially iOS too).

The game will be designed around various modes of play:

• Story-driven single player.
• Post-story single player, for extensive extra content.
• Single player combat challenges/extra bosses.
• Mini-games for certain events or challenges.
• Random battles with custom maps, with full-integrated map editor
• Online battles with predefined/custom maps, most-likely self hosted
• Eventually online-based saving/loading of the game across-devices.

The big question: Why?

I really just wanted to make a game that I would want to play. A game which has interactive, fun and demanding gameplay, but also requires extensive strategy and planning. I wanted something which had a significant amount of customization, but each choice be important and influential. In the end I do plan on turning this into something I can sell, but I am more interested in making something to play and hopefully other people will enjoy it as well.
