Game: Xiampal Genre: Teen(age-range) RPG Turn-Base Theme: Futuristic Fantasy Storyline(brief): The racism between two common enemies(humans and bipedal animates) have greatly decreased recently due to the fact that these two races have found a common enemy, the Esatiniks. The Esatiniks are satanic mages that brainwash and kill people all over the globe as an desparate attempt to spread their religion and expand their culture. They dress like wizards with black robes while the rest of the world's culture is 'up to date'. There was a racing event called the Xiampal 2000 which turned out to be the base for one of the most brutal, ruthless genocides ever witness in the planet of Courog(subject to change). Now for the the battle system. As the battle starts four characters will be on the field along with the enemy. Now, there will be four 'spots' around the enemy(who is located on a central point). The characters have the option to move to these 'spots'. Before we get into the character's ability to move from spot to spot, lets talk about the event slot and the character's initial position on the battle field. You already know there will be five spots(including the enemy's spot) on the field. At the start of the battle, one spot(furthest away from the enemy) will be occupied by 3/4 of the characters. There will be one attacker character in front of two other ones. The front attacker usually has a class as Axe Handler, Gun Master, or any other physical attacker class while the other two characters behind him will be a magician-class and a stat changer-class character(has spells that increase the physical attacker's defense or has alot of health increasing abilities). Where will the fourth character be? He'll occupy one other 'spot'(unfortunately, next to the enemy) so it would be a good idea to put your most powerful character as the fourth character so he could be ready for whatever the enemy will do. The event slot will be interesting. All of the characters that occupy a single spot will be labelled as a group or a set. So at the start of a battle, the three characters on a single spot will be labelled as set one while the lonely powerful(hopefully, usually) character will be set two. The enemy will be set three. the set with the highest overall speed/agility will go first. When a set's turn comes then the player would have to pick one character from that set and choose an action that this chosen character will do. So everyone in a single set won't be able to attack at the sametime. The character will have to pick a single character from that set to do an action. Another note about the event slot, if the characters split up(create more sets by moving to more spots) then the your side will appear more often which will give you a speed advantage. But later in the game, enemies will be able to move from spot to spot and occupy more sets. Characters will be able to swap spots/positions with another character. You can have a whole set exchange spots with a single character or just have one character from a single set exchange spots with another character. The majority of characters in the game has something called iPods. It's an oval-shaped jelly-like emerald attached around the character's wrist as a watch would be. Inside the iPod is a color-visible cartrige. With the i/e(internal/external) Pod, the character sets his/her hands a few inches apart while the palms are facing each other and then the character would concentrate internal mental energy or external source energy to the empty space between his/her palms to create a small six-face squaric object. When this six-face squaric object drops on the floor then it would summon a beast/monster. This is how you would summon beast in this game. The beast's statistics are influenced by the master's(character that summon that beast) statistics. The beast's statistics are the same as it's masters by 2x and with a reverse classification. So if its master is a black mage, then the beast's class would be a hole figher or something. This will provide variety for each set. Each character has the ability to summon beast. You can change beast by buying/exchanging for new iePod cartriges. ~~~ Signature: ~~ "Satan sent me to destroy the video game industry." - Trigger(my alter ego) "God is a game designer too and his game, 'Life' " - Me "Squirrles make me horny." - Sean Randy Rowlen Uranus [edited by - Kingzoolerius666 on October 17, 2003 2:16:32 PM] [edited by - Kingzoolerius666 on October 17, 2003 2:26:25 PM]

Naming them iPods may not be the best idea.

The names are subject to change. I might change them. I saw that name somewhere before on a apple computer? Is iPod some device that plays music or something?

In my game it''s really a compatible pod that contains the beast. It''s sorta like in the DBZ anime, like some capsule.

Sounds kinda like frontmission/final fantasy tactics

I've never played either game.

Do you guys like it or what?
