#rpg concept

[inspiredrawaw]

I realized I never uploaded these here (at least I don’t think I did)

But they’re concepts for my OC story Opal Reapers as a RPG pixel game! I drew these a few months ago

The idea is that you play as Omen Eklipse a deer whose been on the search for their family only to find out they’ve been corrupted by an eldritch force. And must bring them back to normal while also stopping the land from caving in on itself

A few things changed since I made these:

Omen is a necromancer instead of a bard

The genre will be eldritch horror because I find it fascinating

The move typing for combat is based on the symbolism for the prime materia alchemy symbols. Mind, soul, and body. Mind being stronger against body (brains over brawn) soul stronger against mind (emotions overpowering logic) body stronger against soul (reality over fantasy)

Omen is mind type, Drakken is soul type, and Amber is body type

Omens family are more like grim reapers then previous versions of them being shepherds of souls

My current version of the main 3 characters all have a moon, star, or sun motif to their design because I love space

Concept for the Yume Nikki inspired game we mentioned.

All based on real alters we have (Star Eater - The Void, Yellow Bird - Slightly based off Beans, appearance based off Jimmy’s bird form, Black and Red character - Admin)

-Baron (+Beans)

Imagine a cyberpunk RPG...

...where managing your cybernetics is a whole minigame. Maybe like Tetris, fit the tech into the body, or even balancing placement with powering. Link this up to that, strap the ammo feed from here to there, move the automatic health injector to make room for the short-range blink module.

So, the more cybernetics you're wearing, the more time you spend optimizing and rearranging to make room for or boost them from connecting them. The less you spend in talking with NPCs or party members, downtime activities, just repairing, rewiring, fine-tuning the machinery.

Now that's 'Cybernetics Eat Your Soul'.

THE SHOPKEEPER

in my years of costumer service work i’ve always wanted to make a game based on the chaos of it. i’ve had a few ideas but recently i thought of translating it to a fantasy rpg environment.

you play as a merchant in an open world game, but you’re an npc so you don’t get to leave the shop. “HEROS” which would normally be the playable characters come through to make their purchases. i think there could be some interaction with other npc’s as well :)

retail simulator but make it fantasy

translating my most annoying costumers into snobby players

but also adding some fun characters :)

i can’t remember the last time i drew this much in a day lol. will prob add more later <3

VICTORY!!! Strike A Pose!

Concept sketches of two of the protagonists for my sci-fi/supernatural RPG concept. Their world is populated with animal crossing like animal people

The dog on the left is a girl living in a small town. When all sorts of strange things start happening in the world around her she awakens to her latent psychic powes as an esper. Her name right now is Sarah.

The cat on the right is a member of a secret ninja organization. she's trained in ninjutsu and espionage and works as an agent for investigating and solving paranormal phenomena. Her name right now is Futaba.

Bonus rough sketches:

Low-level Dungeons & Dragons adventure where one of those big goofy skywhale things has died and crash-landed in the middle of town, and what initially appears to be a simple cleanup assignment abruptly takes a combat-heavy turn when the party gets to find out what feeds on skywhalefalls.

Project Dragon was a game that was in development for 3 years only to be canceled weeks from its announcement and its entire art and development team laid off. The game (which would have been called 'Everhaven' upon release) was intended to be a multiplayer sandbox rpg taking inspiration from both Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda, with an art style similar to that of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which some of the team members also worked on along with Crash Bandicoot 4.

According to character design/illustrator Nicholas Kole "Our cancelled project of the last 3 years is officially, truly dead as of today (internal attempts to save it failed), and the embargo on the whole body of portfolio work has been lifted". This means that the only way the game has a chance of resuming development is by raising awareness and spreading the word of it's development. More info from Nicholas Kole and #BringBackProjectDragon Even if you're not interested in the game itself, you can find the concept art, animations, 3D models, music and all other completed pieces of work for the game being shared by the team at either of these links, and I think are worth checking out. Some mounts and NPCs

4 of the 5 playable starter races (5th being human of course)

Edit: the decision to cancel the game was made by Forte, a blockchain company that acquired Phoenix Labs last year, who later decided to cancel all other projects so that the studio could focus on Dauntless and Fae Farm, Phoenix Labs' other already established games, rather than take the risk with this new IP.

I advise against sending any sort of hate towards Forte or Phoenix Labs and instead recommend continuing to share love for Everhaven and what it could have been until they realize their mistake.

Also thanks for 10k notes.

In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!
