Hey guys, I'm thinking of making a new game out of complete and utter boredom.
This game will feature our games of DRMM and will be based a little off the actual DR game that I'm playing (and frankly not enjoying too too much).
Character Selection
There are many many characters in this game (undecided name). You get a huge selection wheel of every character to make an appearance in a season. You will get a description of the personality of the character, which may appear as just words to you. This does, however, effect many hidden coding parameters for you within the game.
These parameters will effect what your character says, how they act, what they discover about "things of interest", how they can use items, and how they communicate with others.
The Games
There is a campaign mode (play through each season with your character) or a Free Play mode where you earn coins playing in a randomly generated cast of 12.
The game runs on a time system that does not go off real time. The time will advance as you perform actions such as exploring or investigating or talking. Selecting objects of choice works like in DR Trigger Happy Havoc, where places of interest get highlighted in a blue circle. This is not limited to just items.
You will be able to investigate such, take items, manipulate items, or talk to others. The actions (manipulation and topics of conversation) will influence relationship parameters and are based off your characters personality.
Murder
As time advances, the NPC characters randomly generate actions for themselves as well. They will move around and "investigate" themselves, earning them an invisible line of "knowledge". They may also execute murder plots. Each day, nobody can murder or one other NPC will decide to perform a murder that day. They will most generally have a motive for doing so based off their relationships, which you can learn about by talking to others.
Trials
One thing I hated about DR was that trials were linear as hell. Everyone also randomly voted for you if you said one thing dumb, even though EVERYONE said the dumbest things the entire trials. In my game, when a trial commenses, everyone will share accusations and theories on the murder weapon, motive, murderer, method. They will have one of each of these in mind that will change based off the information exchanged. You will need to play the biggest part in influencing these things though, you can't rely on Seadrias and Riven forever!
You can murder too!
Based off your personality, the way you use your items to perform murder will differ greatly. When you murder someone, you can do your best to persuade others opinions in the other direction and try not to get caught screwing up the evidence!
Abilities
All characters awaken to a special ability during the game. Some abilities awake later then others, such as a couple days in. These are based off the character and can really make things interesting, but can be discovered!
