Jatzey RPG is a project under development from Voltic Games. It is an adventure game inspired by games such as A Link to the Past, Banjo-Kazooie and the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
I am overseeing the project as a whole and viva/volt is helping with a lot of the Lua Scripting infrastructure/ implementation. Additional team members are assisting with the dialogue/script and composing the music and sound effects, among other things.
Jatzey RPG is a game where you control Jatzey and his three friends: Jamie, Dougie and Dragin. Each character has their own set of unique abilities that can be acquired throughout the game in order to solve puzzles/scenarios to collect the six Jewel Fragments hidden in every level of the game.
After a history of working with in a retro 16-bit graphical style. This is my first attempt at creating a HD game with a crisp, cartoony art-style.
We intend to feature:
- 8 worlds each with 6 jewel fragment missions.
- An open non-linear structure, with a sense of exploration.
- A dry sense of humour throughout the script.
- Character-context based puzzle designs.
- An interactive and dynamic turn-based battle system.
- Probably more things we can't think of right now!
I will try and update this section as much as I can, since I am a little bit into development I will showcase some elements of the game in posts following this one. I hope you are interested!
