Well, I should be getting another RPGM3 disc soon, so I have decided to make another game in addition to SPB as a guide for my characters and the direction they would take in the game. I'm not sure if you remember Fall of The Kings or Meggido Chronicles (which was definitely cancelled!), but I have decided to fuse the games into one, plus a darker sci-fi horror theme to it. Here are features of Upon This Rock!
*Rare Random Encounters- You heard right, but there will be quite a few battles, trust me. This is to facilitate an elemental battle system where going up against certain enemies whose elements are advantageous to you make you weaker and vice versa. Only the Edge of Chaos monsters are random encounters because it is in another dimension, and therefore the laws of the game do not apply.
*3 Worlds to Explore-
-Mons Regens
-Libra
-Edge of Chaos
*New Elemental System- Heat->Electromagnetism->Cold->Heat. Heat causes degeneration of body tissue (poison), EM Waves can short out a person's nervous system (slow), Cold cryogenically freezes people(stop). There is also Gravity, which creates black holes to suck up enemies (death). There is also a feature called Entropy. Entropy is an advantage of precedence that an elemental spell has. Fire types would therefore go before Thunder, and so on according to entropic ranking. Thunder is a strange case because although it only has a High entropy, due to the status and support skills it has, can change everyone's Entropy throughout the battle. Ice has a similar greater status effect, but without the support of Thunder, rather nullifying Fire support. Gravity has the best effect of all, but are the slowest at the beginning of a battle!
Fire-Highest Entropy (Poison, STR Up, DEF Down)
Thunder-High Entropy (Slow, SPD Up/Down)
Ice-Low Entropy (Stop, DEF Up, STR Down)
Gravity-Lowest Entropy (Death, MDF Up, MAG Down)
*Modified SAP Battle System- The Strategic Positional Element goes into effect during boss fights as a way to afflict each other with Entropy changes, and if you get skilled (extremely skilled) with the system, may even one-shot the final boss!
*Dying is not Game Over- When you die in battle, your spirit is transported to the Edge of Chaos to go and revive your dying body. If you die there, you just start over...
STORY- The game starts in jail, being interrogated by your captors. Sigmund (aka Nihil) is being held on trail for the murder of James Wilcox III, your boss (aka Regent). And it is true that Sigmund did kill him, but he wants to tell the jury that Regent was not the philanthropic entrepreneur that everyone thought he was. He was a corrupt man, and forced Sigmund to commit horrible atrocities to mankind (not only did Wilcox buy rival companies, he had Sigmund murder the owner!) Then one day, after Regent orders him to go supervise a mining area rigged with explosives to kill him, Sigmund snaps and murders Regent. Of course there is no proof of Wilcox's crime, so he is sent on death row. 2 months later, he is broken out by a secret military squad called CORE, who saves his life, but hey do experiments on him Sick twisted experiments that leave him a hollow shell of who he once was. He becomes Nihil, and escapes the facility, a broken deranged man... As he travels the world to destroy the two companies who ruined his life once and for all, he meets people along the way whose lives were destroyed by CORE, such as Zane, who was blown to smithereens by a missile, but saved by the fragment of Cephatite that he had in his pocket.
You will find throughout the story that Cephatite is very important to the combat in the game. It is essentially Magicite. But I'll leave some details a secret... for now. Mwuhahahahahahahahaha!!!
