What is an RPG game, without combat?
This game will feature the same card based combat setup as The Fairy Tale REVAMPED did, of course with a few new twists here and there as this is a new game.
Although this screenshot doesn’t show it, some very important visual improvements have been done already, but they will show when there are more enemies, and especially when these enemies are bigger. The cards for the card gauge have become a bit smaller than they were in TFTREVAMPED. The backsides are now blue in stead of green as blue was chosen as the “identification” color for this game (where that was green in TFT REVAMPED).
As the game will be completely mouse controlled, the combat commands will be clickable and you can click the target you want to attack. The plan is (however I need to investigate how workable it is, but I do have a plan) that contrary to Dyrt, Star Story and TFTREVAMPED you can select targets indiscriminately. In RPG terms that means that Ryanna will be able to attack her friends as well as her enemies. Of course when it comes to using items and healing spells, the same rule applies. If I succeed putting this in this can be as much a curse for you as a blessing. You must watch out you don’t accidentally attack your friends, but if Ryanna is equipped with a ring absorbing fire and Lirmen casts a fire spell on her, she will heal. Since most healing spells are pretty painful for undead, you will be able to kill undead creatures with healing spells. Some spells and skills however will only be possible to be used on either your allies or your enemies, like the pickpocket ability for example. It’s not yet promised this will be possible, but it is my plan to make it happen.
As in Star Story and TFTREVAMPED the experience system will be in a direct-on-kill mode, meaning it is possible for character to increase levels during combat, however Ryanna will very likely not gain levels while transformed she will gain experience points causing her to level up instantly when she changes back into human form if she has gained enough exp for that, this has to do with some technical difficulties I need to avoid, and besides it also makes a nice handicap for transformations too :P
