Wow... it sounds exactly like Illidan...

You should have mini-games which don;t actually happen whenever you get to a certain point, but if you talk to a villager and they make a bt that you can't knock all their cans off of a fence, a mini-game starts and you have to knock off all the cans, that would be cool .

Anywayz, Any other ideas I can think of (good ones hopefully) I'll let ya know .

weapon upgrades, you take a weapon and some magic items to a certain person and theyll upgrade your weapon. though it shouldnt be obvious that where you get the items or where to find the people to do it.

ill use jindos mini game as an example.
you get a magical item from completing a quest, that seems pretty useless, but if you knock all the cans down in the mini game the person who made the bet would give you information about the item. youd then know that you could use it for upgrades.

Average Movement Speed is 300. <- great idea, i hate when your hero moves fast as some uprooted ne building...
Average Attack Speed (Attack Cooldown) is 1.8 seconds.
One Strength point adds 20 health. <- and, considering the fact health regen wont increase, why dont you make it less...like 5 hp and your hero would get the rest from items
One Intelligence point adds 20 magic. <- same as the above
One Agility point adds 0.2 Armor per point. <- always hated the fact you get armor for agility in wc3. it makes no sense to me...i suggest that you get this from items aswell, but its your map - your choice
Strength does not add Health Regeneration.
Intelligence does not add Magic Regeneration.
Agility does not add movement or attack speed.
Maximum hero level is 50.

Spells:

Demon Within: (magic-based heroes only) (ULTIMATE) Transforms the hero into a huge demon, it cannot move, but it has a high-radius range attack and about 1000-10000 dmg (lasts 30 seconds).

Adapt: Allows self to either fly, burrow or swim.

Suffering: (skillful effects required) (demonic heroes only) (ULTIMATE) Caster must sacrifice 1 nearby ally:
Take a target enemy unit to the underworld (have a square of terrain blocked off from everything else which is dark and full evil things) where a punisher attacks it 25 times before its release, each attack does 200-350 dmg.

Lunar Reach: (forest-based heroes only) The caster calls upon the stars, a huge star falls on to a target unit, dealing about 500 dmg.

Solar Reach: (forest based heroes only) A laser-beam-like ray of sun shoots down, it is controllable and anything in it loses 100 dmg per second, lasts 35 seconds.

Curse: (demonic heroes only) The target loses 50 hp per second.

Errupt: (cave based heroes only) All units (including allies) within a target area, lose 100 hp per second whilst magma and lava and ashes fall upon them.

Emblem of the Sea: (water based heroes only) All allies in the map gain 100 HP each from the nearest enemy unit.

Extraction: (Spellbook) shows a list of statistics (str, spd, int etc), choose one to absorb that stat from a nearby enemy and add it to your own.

Enjoy .

I think there is already a ORPG with that title, not 100% sure, but I think there is

Suggestions

Dude i suggest that u get some secret items in each difficulty

such as the Sheep Launcher has 100 dmg launches flying sheeps and can damage even the invulnerable when upgraded into Mighty Sheep Launcher

can be obtained from a boss on some certain difficulty level.

oh and gather some music files so when the character fights a boss or enter a puzzle like stage some awesome music plays

Answers!

@Zakyath - I wasn't thinking about Illidan when I wrote the paragraph actually...apart from the fact that the escapee IS Illidan (morphed).

@Jindo - Interesting idea... it might not be in the first version though (if I ever finish that is), since it's kind of like an extra.

@Mullit - Upgradable weapons...I've never thought about that really, it's all so complicated already (I HATE terraining...)... Tips/hints given by villagers after finishing quests...I might use that.

@SFilip - Agreed, slow moving heroes = really bad game. (Most of the time.)

I didn't want Health Regeneration to increase mainly because once you go up to level 50, that's one heck of a Regeneration...

As for the Health decrease per point, probably not. The most Health heroes (Heroes that would have more Health) can get without items would probably be 4000 something...I think that's fine, since the regeneration is low. (Level 50 of course.)

And about items...you can only get One shield only. One armor only. One pair of boots/gloves only. And two other items only. Suppose all those have Health add (Not likely) the most you would probably get would be... 1000 something... Not much of an increase compared to the 4000 something Health calculated above. (Same with mana.)

More about Mana: But then again...if Mana is like that too, then the most a Mage type hero could get would be 4000 something too . I think I might need to decrease mana addition and increase spell cost by a lot on later levels...

Armor for Agility...hm...well, I made it so that even a Level 50 Agility hero could probably only get 22 or so armor, (Without items that is.) and considering the low Strength and moderate Intelligence of MOST Agility Heroes, I think that's balanced. (Of course, I need to test to find out...)

Items: One shield, armor, boots/gloves and other items can probably add... 35 or something armor... (If all the items were very good that is.)

@Jindo - Some of the spells are nice, but some are... (No offense.) too simple... I want something new that would make heroes more interesting.

@ragingspeedh - Hope there isn't . But if there is, I can always change the name...

@Vader Zim - Difficulty? I'm not sure I want that.

Sheep Launcher!? = =. I want my game to be kind of more serious, not funny.

Music...I wish. If there is enough space, maybe.

exactly my point. i dont think there should be large hp diffrence between levels. that way you would simply get back to the higher level - much stronger hero issue which is kinda not what "RPG" is about...
people wouldn't even bother with items too much - as you said...even if they find the best hp giving items, it would still be better for them to have their level very high.

hehe well wc3 is serious, yet filled with stuff like that (filson the rat, that seal in tft, wirt's second leg etc.)
i'm against the idea though...the solution to get it would simply leak somewhere and it would be just like any other item again...

edit: oh and forgot to mention...i liked the old name better

 

[Zero R.]

If you want a comic relief, make a villager, with the name of 'A conspicious person', or something like that. Obviously, he looks like any other villager.

You could kill the person, which would use another form of him, this time, as a strong creep. Kill him, and he has a third form.

Defeating him gets you an item. [Well, you could also make the Hero moan about how this battle already lasts for 30 minutes already and has no save point. Guess which RPG boss fits this description?]

As for this item, you could make it a tome, which you can use to LEARN a spell not learnable by other heroes.

So it's not so obscure, and it's somehow comical. Unless you've never played RPG's made in 1995.

 

[Monovertex]

there is already an RPG called "Athistaur's Darkness RPG"

Nothing has actually been decided yet, just some ideas... but the Health Increase per Stength Point and Mana Incrase per Intelligence Point will most likely be changed... I'm thinking of maybe 15 hp per Strength Point, which adds about 2000 something at highest level - thus making the (now) 1500 Health add from the items better perhaps. And as for the Mana, maybe 8 Mana Points per Intelligence level?

Erm... I don't know what to say.

Well... the name is not decided yet either, like most of the other information in here...so it is changable.

 

[Jindo]

Okay, if the name's not decided:

-Solar RPG
-Abyss Curse
-The Demons Within
*looks at banner* -Crosslegged RPG
-Curse of Ultima
-Alternate Dimension
-Timed Curse
-Crosslegged Curse (..lol......)

[Arcane]

You know... maybe I'll just use the old name: The Dark Angel RPG...

I'm going to start working on this today... haven't decided whether I'm keeping the old Dark Angel terrain though. Probably.

 

[GekkoA]

Does this RPG have like a whole actual story to it, or is it an RPG that you can generally go around doing whatever you want but the main goal is destroy the angel of darkness?

if it does have a story i have a suggestion you may or may not like.
At the beginning of the story you could have your main charecter be infected with some dark spirit or demon soul or whatever you'd call it. and through out the story it takes over him and he becomes strong and evil and chaotic and stuff, but eventually learns how to control the darkness within him and uses it to destroy the angel o' darkness...

just some thoughts lol

Mmm...I hope I can come up with a 'whole actual story' and still keep the you-can-generally-go-around-doing-whatever-you-want... (Not sure how I'm going to do that lol )But presently it is just a 'you-can-generally-go-around-doing-whatever-you-want' with the main goal as destroy the Dark Angel.

This is a multiplayer game = = not a campaign or a single-player RPG, but the idea is nice, and I do have something like that... (Kind of...a really really big 'kind of'.)

i recognize this...another of those stolen stories

as for the name...lets just leave it be darkness for now. you can always change it

its probably been used before, but i was thinking of Jak 2 for PS2 when i wrote it

 

[Mullit]

it sounds a lot like prince of persia 3 too. in that you get corrupted then every now an then you turn in to the dark version of yourself with stronger powers but your health slowly deteriorates, to keep your health up you have to collect certain items and you can only turn back to your good ol self if you reach water. yhe final boss is fightin the thing that got you corrupted, or if you find some game secret you fight your dark side.

you might wanna put somthing like that in ur rpg, the bit about the game secret changing the ending, but it looks like youve got most of it planned out already.
