I''m making a text based RPG (like so many other people) and I was wondering what other people though of my design so far. I''ve been reading Gamedev.net forums about other people''s RPG''s, and everyone I have read has something like: Do you want to fight ninja or run away? You fight him, and he wins but you get lucky and doesn''t kill you, and other things like that. The way I''m making mine, is where it has a branching story line, and a battle system that is used in every fight, so you can fight, use items, magic and run away. The strength of the monster is started at 1, then has 5 added to it for each of the player''s level. Bosses start at different levels, then are incremented the same way. The battle starts out with you choosing to attack, magic, items and stuff. If you use a magical attack, he will use a physical and vise versa (I''m in the process of writing an algorithm that will choose his attack based on the monster''s and player''s health). Plus there is a shop, but right now you can only buy 4 healing items. There is also in the works a very simple town editing feature that is unlocked at the main story branch (if you don''t unlock it there, you won''t be able to do it) and basically, thats where you can buy everything (after you build the right buildings) and change the citizen''s taxes, which will get you money, but may also cause some of the population to leave, reasulting in less money. Well, thats about it for now. If you can find the time, please reply and tell me what you think.

Yea, I see what you were doing. I guess I should ahve gone into more detail the first time, huh?

Thanks!

BTW, I just saw this in your second to last post, but the kinds of magic you can get range from the types that are in most RPG''s (fire, ice, water, etc.) to the kind that you get automatically after the final dungeon is passed, that are really super powerful.

It might take a while to finish (one guy coding 3-4 hours per day) but I''ve gotten too far to quit. But when it''s done, you can bet I''ll be posting here with a link to download it
