Developer’s Journal – Entry 1, The Project

We are a group of college students who are working on a new game project, a 2D MMORPG.

What we’re currently working on;

-Building a simple 2D tile based game engine

Building the game engine is going to be one of the most time consuming and challenging steps in the project.

-Creating basic concept art

Designing the physical appearance for each of the playable races in the game, designing items such as weapons and armor styles, and environment samples.

-Gameplay Mechanics

Designing the combat system; we are currently planning an innovative magic/spell casting system and an improved melee combat system that allows players to take advantage of their particular weapon type.

-Storyline, history, cultures, characters, and character dialogue

The game will feature a very original storyline and an impressive variety of characters, races, and cultures for players to interact with.
